IIIIIIIN

I know I'll lose first round but I might as well give it a chance

Oh BTW I lost the skins so you're gonna have to make them yourself, but it aint' too hard, just a slight level change in Paint.NET

I did say, if you're reskinning stuff, that's your responsibility, you'll have to make the components and send them. You still have almost 3 weeks anyway.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 03, 2011, 11:28:31 AM
16 days to go, not one bot received. I hope it's because you're all busy making some lovely stuff. :P

Remember, every bot entered gets into PokAImon too! :D
(And winner might get some major credit in the game or something cool like that, I don't know)
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Conraaa on October 03, 2011, 11:43:03 AM
Well, fudge. I knew I forgot something. I'll skin crustle and get it to you asap.
Goodness knows what my 2 other pokemon would be though.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Badnik96 on October 03, 2011, 04:39:19 PM
I'll make a Pawniard... eventually
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Jack Daniels on October 03, 2011, 09:16:13 PM
Started working on one today... but got distracted :P 

Gonna keep at it though.

So... I appreciate how this is "for fun" and all but if you discriminate against combat effective robots all matches will be WBP or counted out...

They can be effective to a degree (see Dugtrio) but if there's something that's just gonna sweep everything (as Kill suggested), I'm not cool with that.

Inb4 urjak builds a hitmontop shell spinner and sweeps the tournament

YOU FOOL ! Don't give him ideas !

I don't think Urjak plays or even played pokemon anyways. It's not his generation :P

Also, my Gyarados idea is fleshing out. I'm probably going to make it's tail a complex flail with large blue skinned drums for the snakelike body, linked by 45 degree flails (let's hope AGOD doesn't rears his ugly head)  and 3 Killalot drills for the tail itself.

Probably will use four lightning teeth for it's mouth for Tackle attacks, with a flamethrower inside (Dragon Rage). I am also wondering if I should make him use Bite with a very short vertical hammer.

I am also going to try and put taunts for different actions of my bot. "GYARADOS used BITE !" (hammer fires) "GYARADOS used FLAIL !" (starts to sit-and-spin and whack with it's tail), Tackle (simple ram), and Dragon Rage (flamethrower). So my pokémon actually has 4 legal attacks.

Also I wonder if Craaig will let me use the Darkrat scything blades in NAR AI (the S-shaped ones) for Gyarados's barbels. Of course, they will be modified so they don't do any damage.

It would also be awesome if we can make that tourney looking more like a pokémon battle. Examples would be pokémon battle music playing in the arena, messages "Critical hit ! TAUROS fainted !" (respectively when some bot gets his control board damaged and destroyed), the annoying little ding-ding when a bot is critically low on HP, Pokémon "hit" sounds being used rather than the stock RA2 ones.

I realize that's a lot of work though, but it would just make the tourney more awesome. For me, I would be willing to wait more or even lend a hand to Craaig to do this.

The AI is going to be a bitch but I think I can pull it out.

Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 04, 2011, 09:54:50 AM
I can manage the music and ding-ding definitely (in Movie Maker, I imagine), who knows about the other bits though. The hits could probably be replaced quite easily, but the messages, I don't know.

And yes, I'll let you use those as long as they're all modified. I love the effort you're putting into this, thank you :D makes it all worth it.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Naryar on October 06, 2011, 07:36:18 AM
Well crap... Gyarados's serpentine, slithering body and just LENGTH is going to be much harder than I thought to replicate precisely and at scale. As I want something really good looking, I think I have no choice but to use BFE and moar custom components and make it a bit like the DSL replicas.

I will keep it's damage potential to a reasonable level though, and will strive to make it the coolest looking and most faithful pokemon replica of all !
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*

Sounds awesome (:

i`d love to enter this one but I havn`t got the time, and as you might know my lap top needs to be repaired.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Jack Daniels on October 10, 2011, 05:44:24 AM
Magikarp will be entered eventually. 

Working on another bot too.

Don't worry too much, unlimited entries, but remember there's exactly 9 days and 1 hour remaining of signups.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Conraaa on October 10, 2011, 01:01:49 PM
Well, I just skinned the chassis for Crustle. So unless my computer explodes, taking everything with it. I should get at least one robot in :P
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 12, 2011, 05:18:33 AM
7 days, 5 hours, 41 minutes and 27 seconds left to get entries in! :P
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 12, 2011, 01:56:09 PM
A wild Crustle was accepted!

Thanks Conraaa :)

in other news...
With the limited effects of WMM I'm quite happy with that.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Conraaa on October 12, 2011, 02:03:42 PM
No problem. :D
I refrained from putting a music box in because I didn't know if you were going to put pokemon music over the matches in WMM.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 12, 2011, 02:04:49 PM
I was planning to, yeah. And even if I didn't I speed all matches up 2x on WMM because my laptop can be slow, so it would've sounded baad XD

Go! Dodrio!

Yep, Dodrio. Expect it tomorrow maybe.

3 days remain and still only a few entries... what happened to you 12 who voted to enter back in the discussion stage!? D:
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on October 16, 2011, 07:34:02 AM
I have 1 entry ready and another that needs a bit more done (Tauros). Which .gmf compiler works for wheels?
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Badnik96 on October 16, 2011, 01:47:09 PM
Serge's IIRC.

If you want to edit the BMP filename in the GMF, you can do it with Notepad ++ while still compiled.


also if there's little homework tomorrow I'll make Dodrio then.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Naryar on October 16, 2011, 02:05:56 PM
Oh well, too bad for gyarados. I'll make something simpler.

Anyone have any idea how to cut a chunk out of a 200cm disc? If so I could make Lotad.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Jack Daniels on October 16, 2011, 02:58:22 PM
No idea.  I thought about making lotad too :D  I would recommend simply skinning the disk to have a chunk cut out.  i.e. Section skinned in just black or something.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Conraaa on October 16, 2011, 03:02:03 PM
That's a bit hard with how those disks are made, iirc they don't have textures per se, more colours coded in to the gmf itself.
If it is possible to change that then I have no idea how.
I was going to try the dsl disc but they aren't big enough.

Hmmm... good point. I didn't notice that. There seem to be a ton of GMF files in dsl. I might have to learn how to skin them when I try to make DSL bars blue for Metagross. I will let you know if i learn anything good.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Conraaa on October 16, 2011, 03:20:11 PM
I think it's the same thing with DSL bars aswell. Although to change the colours it's not that much of a pain, just have this (http://www.colorpicker.com/) and you'll be fine. :D
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Naryar on October 17, 2011, 10:34:01 AM
Hmm, I do believe I can build an Aerodactyl this evening.

And annoy you all (excepted maybe Click) with my hovercraft hammer, of course :trollface

Post by: cephalopod on October 17, 2011, 10:43:32 AM
RULE CHANGE APPROVED - all entries will now be entered individually, rather than you choosing which to enter in each round - at least we'll get to see all the bots now! :D

I choose you Magikarp! *toss*

I'm not making Dodrio. or Pawniard.

I'm making something else, and it will be a secret. But it should be able to beat Aerodactyl :trollface

But it doesn't affect enemy AERODACTYL ! :trollface
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 17, 2011, 03:57:03 PM
DIGLETT used HYDRO PUMP!
It's super effective!

..waitwhut?

Post by: Badnik96 on October 17, 2011, 04:17:37 PM
All I'm saying is my bot CAN learn Hydro Pump....

but not naturally :trollface

Sending in a sec

Post by: Naryar on October 18, 2011, 04:03:25 PM
Aerodactyl is being built. Expect a prototype in one hour or two, depending how I manage his head.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Badnik96 on October 18, 2011, 04:11:20 PM
hehehehe

I'm trying to find inspiration to make something that doesn't require a lot of skinning.


edit. Found some. Kabuto multibot. Going to send soon.
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 19, 2011, 06:23:06 AM
5 hours remain of original deadline, but I'll extend it a little - 11PM UK time/10PM UTC
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Naryar on October 19, 2011, 07:04:08 AM
Sending my bot, though it is unfinished. But I just want to take a spot before it closes up.

If I have enough time I might build a Haunter. Seems easier than Aerodactyl, and just as badass looking.

Too bad it'll be a physical attacker :P
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 19, 2011, 07:22:33 AM
Shouldn't be too bad, with just swipy hands? :P

Post by: cephalopod on October 19, 2011, 11:33:26 AM
13 Pokemon entered so far... Good to see a few more entries coming in :)

Unless I recieve 4+ bots in the next 5.5 hours, the main league will contain 8 bots (meaning up to 8 will be eliminated in the Gym Battle) - can we get those extra 4? ;D

You've got 10 hours. Its doable.

Post by: RpJk on October 19, 2011, 12:04:03 PM
Well I would need someone to skin it.

Post by: Conraaa on October 19, 2011, 12:12:49 PM
Currently trying to figure out how to put wheels on a clamperl. And how to make the angled shell pieces look more like the shell.
With any luck I should have another inefficient bot in :D

Arena skin is excellent, I must say. Thanks very much (:

No problem, will the splash be up soon after signups close or a while later? (I want to know whether to stay up)
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 19, 2011, 02:30:26 PM
It'll probably take a day or so, I still need an update or 2 from people. So I wouldn't stay up - even if it gets done tonight, you'll see it tomorrow (':
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on October 19, 2011, 02:31:21 PM
OK, thanks. Can't wait to see what some people have come up with from the ones I haven't seen.

well Kabuto's skin is coming, no shiny one this time so you don't have to use him.

Mignt make something else really quick

Craaig, just to give you an even number of 16 would it be OK if I sent you one more bot tomorrow?
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Conraaa on October 20, 2011, 02:29:55 AM
Wait, DSC entered Excadrill? This I have to see.
And I'm looking forward to this one. Seems like it'll be fun, having Clamperl vs Aerodactyl. :P
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 20, 2011, 03:18:52 AM
Personally I'd rather not have 16 as that would mean the qualifiers are useless, unless people think I should ditch them.


ALSO


SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED! Thank you all for entering, and sorry if you missed out (:
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: Badnik96 on October 20, 2011, 02:41:01 PM
so 7 bots are gonna get knocked out early...

Kabuto's gonna be one, it sucks :P Hoping Sharpedo can get through at least
Title: Re: Pokemon: The League of Getehem - Signups*
Post by: cephalopod on October 20, 2011, 03:58:56 PM
Dunno if I'd be allowed but I'd like to do an eliminator where 7 bots get through, the next 4 get a Wildcard bracket spot, just so a few more can be seen in full action.

I will send the updated Aerodactyl in one hour, maybe more.
