-
What Arena?
oops. forgot to mention. it will be in the RAW arena, created by madiaba on request from me.
EDIT: added prize as well.
-
I'll enter, another good tournament would always be fun. :)
-
i shall also enter but expect a bot much like FRF in other words crap lol. do we get a preview ofr this arena or not. if not can you just tell me if it's gunna be a flip out arena or not lpease. thanks
-
I'm in.
-
Sign me up as well...
-
Always ready when there's girls n wiskey ! ... or bots by default.
I join
-
Cool abriviature but...
DSL again?
:angry:
*Muttley swearing*
-
Start playing DSL then venko?
I will enter this one too, just to get myself and my bot shredded. :D
-
the arena is being worked on, but yes, it will be a flip-out able arena. that means flippers will do well.
-
I'm in.
-
may i join please?
-
may i join please?
of course. all entries so far are on the first page.
-
I'll join.
-
I'm in.
-
Im in!
-
Quick Question: Do we have to AI the bot etc. or will you do that part yourself?
-
Quick Question: Do we have to AI the bot etc. or will you do that part yourself?
doesnt mater. the tournament will start faster if you AI yourself, but i have no problem doing it.
-
I sent you the bot, did you get it?
-
Count me in, Sage.
-
I'm in. Lu-Tze will be in by Tuesday.
-
Count me in. I'm quite excited about this...
EDIT: Are we allowed the latest DSL Patch?
-
i'm in
-
Count me in. I'm quite excited about this...
EDIT: Are we allowed the latest DSL Patch?
yes.
-
Well i suddenly want to build a VS or a drum.
I'll be in.
-
sorry to point this out but, you spelt my name wrong sage
-
Will it have the walls like the BBEANS arena? I would rather not build my bot until I see the arena that it will be owned in. If the arena will not get out in time then I will just build my bot and send it.
-
I'm in. Lu-Tze will be in by Tuesday.
No offense, but there is a thread called "DSL Looses One of Its Main Members" where Darkrat said that Lu-Tze died on October 3rd, 2004
Edit: Sorry for the DP
-
Somebody, It's almost finished.
As soon as Sage settles on the skins and the like, I'm sure he'll post a pic,... within the next couple days. Sage has made some cool skins for it.
(BTW: It has no hazards, and walls slightly higher than the BBEANS arena.)
Sorrow, what does "I'm in. Lu-Tze will be in by Tuesday." mean? The name of your entry bot????
-

Edit: Sorry for the DP
Heh! I fell in the same trap than you before realizing my mistake.
Lu-Tze is one of Sorrow's bots. A fast VS with a damn heavy weapon on a tiny disc. It is in his DSL showcase.
-
alright guys i added a video showing off the arena. check it out on the first page, or here
ARENA PREVIEW (http://www.veoh.com/videos/v15796764J5ek7GQZ)
-
Nice Arena
-
This arena favors rammers...or popups... but no, won't build one.
-
K got my bot built it is a dual HS I will send soon, most likely tomorrow.
-
Well I should send my VS by tomorrow.
-
Fancy camera work there, Sage. Your employees deserve a raise....
-
It makes me feel claustophobic, but I still like it.
-
Fancy camera work there, Sage. Your employees deserve a raise....
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha. nice one mad.
(inside joke guys)
On a side note, i lowered the walls a tad, making them 3/5 of what they are in the video, to give VS and Flippers a better chance.
-
I'm in :D
I just got back form vacation literally 15 minutes ago, so I don't really have a bot. Mabye by the end of the weekend I'll have a nice one ready to go.
-
I would send in my main VS if I knew how to send bots via PM. But you may need to shorten the balance tail I have on the back of it for it to not get hung up on the wall when the match starts.
-
Okay, mine is in. Hopefully it will do well.
-
Okay, mine is in. Hopefully it will do well.
the thing in the back is fine
looks good.
-
i'll whip up something and enter.
-
Mine seems to be almost perfect for this arena, however, I doubt it will do well.
I thought I sent mine in.
-
Mine seems to be almost perfect for this arena, however, I doubt it will do well.
I thought I sent mine in.
its a bit underweight, and that may be a disadvantage.
-
And it uses a high ground clearance...
-
My VS is very strong, I have thrown a the Stock AI out of the arena a lot with the one I am using.
-
My VS is very strong, I have thrown a the Stock AI out of the arena a lot with the one I am using.
are you happy using a DSL bot against STOCK AI? you know that DSL is WAY more high-powered than stock RA2?
______
I'm darn lazy at building heavies, especially a VS, and the popup i built isn't that much efficient. 5mm steel is perhaps too much...
-
DSL stock AI.
-
ah ok. misunderstanding. generally, stock AI means original-AI-that-comes-with-the-game. but its ok.
-
What would the DSL ones be called then?
-
I cant see this video cos of this stupid site than dont have service for Bulgaria. Anyway...
Where i can download this arena? Mad?
And i know what about is this 'inside' joke ;)
-
I think the arena will be released after the tournament.
-
its a prize. want the arena.... win the tournament.
-
Venko, you better bribe the winner...
-
Or better call to the real creator of the arena ;)
-
If it's supposed to be a prize, the creator isn't gonna give it to you that easily.
Unless you bribe him, or if it's Mad.
-
sage, do you think that my bot has a chance?
-
What about mine, I know that it is strong enough to throw itself around when it hits something.
-
sage, do you think that my bot has a chance?
depends on what everyone else enters. i only have 8 entries so far.
-
I'll enter, although I'll likely get creamed xD
-
Will there be a splash.
-
Will there be a splash.
of course, when i get everyones entry.
-
Did you get my PM?
-
I was planning on building a HW version of System Flailure - now seems like a good time to do it. I have a hunch there won't be many other hammers.
-
just sent in my bot. should have an interesting fight. btw is there a losers bracket like in BBEANS? i'll probably need it lol
-
How will you do the videos?
-
Fraps Full Version.
-
does the winner get the arena aswell?
-
does the winner get the arena aswell?
yes.
-
How will the videos get posted, will it be like what Clickbeetle does, or will it be on a website like YouTube?
-
i dont have my own website like clickbeetle, but i made a youtube account especially for this. the youtube videos should have a watch in high detail option if i do it right, so it wont be horrible quality. i will also post a link in the description if you want to download the video.
-
Let's do it now! 16 is acceptible!
-
But that wouldn't be very nice to the people still hard at work on their bots.
-
I'm very impatent, And I was kidding. Do I need to put one of those stupid (JK LOLOLOL) things? Do you think I'm stupid! Well do ya, punk? I hate you! Good bye! *Leaves*
-
Is it full yet?
If not i'll enter!
-
I now think one of my only chances of winning is using a HW version of Hazardous Contraption.
-
Nuht: No it is not full, so you should enter.
-
Sage, did you get my update to my bot?
-
Sent mine, did ya get it?
-
only 2 days to go. what happens if nobody else enters? will you extend the cut off date or what?
-
isn't it 9/15??
-
I wonder how many Makos are going to participate in that tourney.
-
yea. more like 9 days to go. im hoping to get the rest of the entries by then.
-
oh lol sdidnt no wat i was talkin bout
-
still need 5 more entries guys... then we can have 32. i also need bots from
ianho5, pyscolone, andrew0304, madiaba, naryar, scrap daddy, and jules.
-
I'll make Infernal Contraption 2 and it'll be good.
-
You know guys, if he gets all the entries early then we get videos early... Just a hint.
-
videos also will come earlier if ou AI our own bots. those who already have them in could just do their own AI in the meantime. i havnt done any yet.
-
What do you think about the bots that are entered so far?
-
Are there any bots that you think might be a frontrunner.
-
i like Psi and oBzen. some other cool ones are- far cry, shadow, and epic flailure
everything is really good surprisingly. i haven't gotten anything horrible yet. i just picked the ones i thought looked cool.
-
Would it be possible to post pics of the cooler bots, or is it a surprise...
-
If you look in my showcase, you can see the thing I sent in...
-
if people want other people to see their bots, they have the choice to show them themselves.
-
I've lost My bot file, Would you show us a pic of it Sage?
-
you should do a splashy...
-
I'm looking forward to the same, guys. But it would probably be better to wait till all entries are in, cause someone might tailor their bot to counter the submitted bots. That includes me...
-
True.
-
I would also suggest a splash, but if anyone wants to see mine here it is...
(http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l477/JoeCB1991/Robot%20Arena%202/screenshot_4.jpg)
-
Well, It's not a mako clone, which is good...
...I'm doomed!
-
I see i'm not the only one who submitted a dual perm powered VS...
Good luck to you.
-
Infernal Contraption 2 is sent! Fear it!
-
I see i'm not the only one who submitted a dual perm powered VS...
Good luck to you.
Yeah, I think the only reason there isn't more of them is because of how they can throw themselves pretty far, but that weapon is really powerful. I can beat Mako pretty easily with it because it is quick, and its armor is strong enough to withstand a few good hits.
-
How is that a Mako clone?? Its a VS, simple as that.
-
Well, It's not a mako clone, which is good...
...I'm doomed!
yea, we know pysc.
-
The balance bars are also more effectiive for me than using the wedge, it is a little bit easier to make because there are not as many extenders, and I can get other bots stuck on them. But there is also a little bit les protection, but how strong the weapon is makes up for it.
I would like to see more people use that kind of balance system for a VS, so far I think mine are the only ones I have seen that are set up like that.
-
I'd like to enter. is it full, if not how do I enter
-
Paprika, you just did by asking "i'd like to enter". Now send a good bot to Sage and you'll be in.
Joe, i used the balance bar system too on my unique dual perm VS (that sucked), but as steel extenders.
EDIT: Sage did you get my bot?
-
How do I send my bot to Sage?
-
I would suggest reading the rules first if you enter a tournament...
-
pap, read the rules thoroughly, then, use the file uploader to upload the Rar file of your bot, attach it to a PM (Just copy paste what comes up) and send it to sage.
-
And the deadline is soon... you guys should hurry up.
-
will there be random "bye"s in the first round if there isn't 32 people?
-
perhaps.
-
so will there be a losers bracket?
-
I did not understand any of that Somebody, please put it in simpler terms, Also may I reserve a spot, my bot is built, I just need to send it in, and, could you AI it sage, I don't have a clue
-
Pap:Yes there is spots left.
Yes, Sage will AI it.
Do you have Winrar
-
Are you going to extend the deadline, because there are 7 people who still havent sent there bots, and that would be alot of byes, or a 24 bot tourney with 3 byes.
-
still got 1 mre day.
but probably.
-
You could wait for 4 missing bots to be sent, then start.
Or get 3 Byes for the crappiest bots...
-
Didnt I send you mine yesterday?..
-
Darn! Entries are due today and my house is in a blackout! I was going to enter my "Epic Flailure" (Actually I thought of that name three months ago, I didn't know there was a System Flailure yet) but that isn't going to happen. So may I ask a question? Will the entry date be delayed for those four missing bots (because I can take advantage of that) and if not, will there be another RAW?
-
I replaced my bot, with a different version of it that I just made [the rear stabilizer bar was taken out, and there is a spike in the front].
-
Are we allowed to change our entries?
-
He said I could when I asked him yesterday.
-
the date is now 9/22/08 (September 22nd, 2008)
the date will not be pushed back farther. please get your entry in by then. you are also allowed to change your entry up to that date.
-
Is th wall height about that of the DSL Tournament Arena?
-
higher.
-
I'm almost certain I'm going to enter, this is cool! Just need to finalize & figure out how to AI it...:Confused:
Pweview:
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/dragonfly.png)
The new one has a stylish new paint job...=D
-
higher.
Yay, I probably won't OOTA that much then. The bot I'm going to enter has a habit of doing that.
-
Reier: No need to AI it, Sage can do that.
You can simply make things easier by naming your two analog controls "ForwardBack", "LeftRight" and your button control "Fire" (for your weapon)
You can have a look at the wiring of the AI bots.

I did that already, does that mean I'm done? I'll send It to him soon, my DSL just crashed, but I've saved my bots.
-
Sending my changed entry tonight...
-
Then it must be ready to compete, Reier. Send it to Sage- use his email or the Gametechmods file uploader, on the homepage (accepts RAR or ZIP files only)
-

Same here, mine has thrown itself out of the arena after hitting another bot before.
-
Hey Sage, R you going to have match vids like BBEANS?
-
Hey Sage, R you going to have match vids like BBEANS?
yes
-
I've made a couple upgrades to obZen. I'll send it to you by Sunday (I'm hecka busy this week).
-
Sage, did you get my bot?
-
Resent my entry... I kinda had to start over to make room for a larger motor...
-
Hey Sage, could you change my bot's name to Steel Hurricane? There's another epic flailure and I don't want any confusion. Thanks!
-
Will there be the same awards as BBEANS? (Coolest Bot, Most Fearsome Opponent, etc.)
-
if you want. i wont have a cool website to display it though.
-
I have an old Freewebs site I used for school and stuff. It's not much but it'll do.
http://freewebs.com/ninteen45
-
you can make your own site on freewebs, just type it in google
-
ACAMS is making one temporary thing for. thanks though, guys.
-
Up to six byes, thats a better chance than getting a bye in BBEANS 4:-D
Less if andrewm0304, madiaba, paprike, or ianh05 submit their bots
-
Hurry up please?
-
I did my part (even tho it is ugly Sage can fix it.
http://raw.gametechmods.com/index.php
-
It is pretty nice, better than mine (lol, mine is invisible, and won't show up on any searches. It is almost like it doesn't exist...)
-
Good work, how did you make that?
-
Well Sage has taken over now
-
alright. looks like we STILL haven't gotten the entries in yet. i know madiabas got something coming, so we will have 27 bots. thats 3 byes if im not mistaken.
-
So I'm assuming my re-rebuilt obZen was fine?
-
So I'm assuming my re-rebuilt obZen was fine?
you were pushing it, but its alright. i still dont like dsl popups.
-
27 bots is 5 byes with a 32 person field.
-
27 bots is 5 byes with a 32 person field.
Yes, but as sage said 27 bots with 3 byes (a 30 person field) would work but it may be slightly messy in terms of assigning who gets the byes.
The bracket may look something like this:
(Excuse my poor MSPaint diagram)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57552rawwbracket.JPG)
As you can see some lucky first round winner will get a bye in the second round. Sage will have to figure out a way to randomly assign byes to competitors (though he's probably already done this). If there is a loser's bracket a bye will also have to be assigned there too. This is still less byes than a 27 bot 5 bye field as you suggested
-

i think i got one more bot coming in, making it 28! yay.
-
One less bye for you to worry about then :D
However my diagram is now incorrect (https://gametechmods.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
You would now only have to give 2 byes in the first round and one in the second I believe...
-
Sorry Sage, I don't think I'll be able to submit a bot even though I said I could yesterday. My regular computer broke and I have to use my MacBook instead... :( Good luck to all the entrants though!
-
alright, 27 it is. i will make a splash, which should be done before next weekend. the aiing will take another week, so 2 weeks till start guys!
-
So no one can enter/change their entry from now on?
-
So no one can enter/change their entry from now on?
that is correct.
-
Sweet, so the bracket will be like this?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57552rawwbracket.JPG)
-
Yes it will my diagram is now legit again! :D
-
only if you can make a working losing bracket!
-
Damn, that will be very complex but I will get it done!
I'm assuming that means there will be loser's bracket for the tourney?
-

dont worry about it. ive got the bracket covered. if for some reason i need yours, i thank you beforehand. but for now, dont push yourself.
-
I was just going to copy what Click has done with bbeans. Plus/minus a couple of brackets and byes.
-
Sorry i've been away for a while.
I'll enter, my bot(s) are here:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Whametts Robots.rar (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Whametts Robots.rar)
I dont mind which one enters, its whatever one you thing will be easier to AI (I know how to AI, but im lazy so...)
If one doesnt work, then enter the other.
-
I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I think the registration has closed.
-
It has, sorry Nuht, but the splash is up. You need to ask Sage if he will let you in.
Edit: And he said heavyweight, not superheavyweight. It must be below 800kgs. But you could easily make them heavyweights.
-
Oh, well then im off to make some more robots!
(When will i find a tournament to enter, i need the expirience!)
-
Count me in, if its still on.
-
Ummmmm.. the tournament finished about a year ago...
