Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: G.K. on January 30, 2010, 04:57:50 AM: I'll do the AI'ing. I need to make a good stock lightweight, this will give me a motive.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on January 30, 2010, 04:58:05 AM: ok
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Jonzu95 on January 30, 2010, 04:59:15 AM: G.K. You don't have to AI all ''less good'' Tourneys example: WTT, Terror Twister etc...
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: G.K. on January 30, 2010, 05:04:54 AM: I don't consider them less good. I just want to be helpful. These guys can't AI.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Jonzu95 on January 30, 2010, 05:06:27 AM: Soo... Are you AIng in the Terror Twisters too?
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on January 30, 2010, 05:06:45 AM: i tried AIing and crapped up my DSL
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: G.K. on January 30, 2010, 05:08:48 AM: @Jonzu: Yep

@Stag: I can't find the crowd, but I'm doing the floor
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Naryar on January 30, 2010, 05:56:30 AM: Honestly, i really think these guys should learn to AI on their own... and everyone should AI on their own anyways !

IMO if you have no AI-ing knowledge, you just don't start a tournament.

Post by: Badnik96 on January 30, 2010, 06:35:55 AM: If it gets approved I would like to enter.

Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: JoeBlo on January 30, 2010, 07:56:30 AM: GK just a thought how about teaching others to AI rather then doing it for them ?

if you keep doing all there AI all they will do is come back and ask you for more ;) teaching such knowledge could go a much further way then doing it for them
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: G.K. on January 30, 2010, 09:22:20 AM: Probably would be the best long term solution. However, I'm not good at teaching that sort of thing. You should get S_M to teach them. He taught me.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Thyrus on January 30, 2010, 09:27:01 AM: there`s a pretty good tutorial that teached me.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: JoeBlo on January 30, 2010, 09:39:24 AM: not necessarily from scratch.. could guide them through one of the tutorials. IM helps there..
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Jack Daniels on January 30, 2010, 10:40:42 AM: GK please don't overload yourself. I would hate to see you get burnt out by all this work.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: G.K. on January 30, 2010, 11:27:52 AM: Thanks JD. I have no problem with doing all this though.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Little lost bot on January 30, 2010, 01:23:09 PM: I'm slowly learning to AI started with the tutareal and then a more conplex thing right now I can only get so far mainly because with notpad or notpad++ it crashes my game but i'm leaning got some bots that sort of thing. Is there a resone all my hammer bots runn away from there target?
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Thyrus on January 30, 2010, 01:32:02 PM: cause of the -nose- thing
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on January 30, 2010, 01:58:39 PM: hey i changed it to tag team tourney because the are awesome
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Badnik96 on January 30, 2010, 04:06:32 PM: No! There's already one of those running. There hasnt been a conventional Stock LW tourney since BBEANS3. Please keep it a normal 1-on-1 Stock tourney.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on January 30, 2010, 05:13:01 PM: oh yeah

ok normal tourney not tag team

i have decided to host a tourney because its about time i did

i cant AI so do it yourself or get someone to do it for you sorry

If you can't AI then why are you posting here?

Learn to AI, or PM someone in advance before starting the topic.

Rule #6 covers this!

Yay, we can use the trinity glitch!

But the result must be a controllable robot...
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: System32 on January 31, 2010, 10:33:28 AM: That is possible, if you don't mind the mother of all mauler dances.

DOUBLE POST :P

I say this to a lot of people...

compare your rules to another tournament ?

see the size difference ?

Im not saying you have to ramble on but is my experience (5? tournaments) the more details you put into your rules the less exploiting or problems you will get from entries. try your best to not get caught out telling someone there robot isnt ok once they have built it even though your rules dont precisely have reasons to outlaw it.

:mrgreen:
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 02, 2010, 01:46:58 PM: ok i updated the rules
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Badnik96 on February 02, 2010, 05:07:49 PM: wait... Rule 2 says all glitches allowed but rule 5 says no cheating?????
XD make your rules clearer
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Reier on February 02, 2010, 05:15:28 PM: I think he means like AI hax or AAM.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Badnik96 on February 02, 2010, 05:16:47 PM: ahhh.

Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 06, 2010, 05:36:55 AM: no comments?
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Pwnator on February 06, 2010, 05:38:55 AM: A trinity can still be entered in this. You have to be more specific.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 06, 2010, 05:56:06 AM: ok done

i added a prize, wil work on getting transparent back
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: JoeBlo on February 06, 2010, 06:53:28 AM: bmp is the reason for your lack of transparency.. needs to be tga ;)

I will get the arena done tonight or tomorrow
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 06, 2010, 07:02:04 AM: ok thx Joe
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 06, 2010, 01:21:49 PM: double post...

is this a go then?

i defined the rules

now what?
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Sparkey98 on February 06, 2010, 01:29:30 PM: Hey, since I can't build in stock at the moment, can I build it in DSL WITH ONLY stock components? it'll be a stock bot with only stock parts, in DSL.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: G.K. on February 06, 2010, 01:38:46 PM: No Sparkey. the parts are different. The razor and iron spikes for example, are different components.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 06, 2010, 01:41:54 PM: sparkey dont tell me you forgot to copy the stock ra2 folder so you can use stock without the cd

Post by: Sparkey98 on February 06, 2010, 01:52:23 PM: no:
my desktop has stock
stock won't install on my Laptop-not right OP
I installed DSL on my laptop
my Desktop got a trojan

I can play DSL on my laptop, my only working co. but I can't install Stock on it :P
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: powerrave on February 10, 2010, 07:30:23 AM: i think you are out of luck then until you get stock working again. if this tournament will go, i'm in.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Sparkey98 on February 10, 2010, 09:14:54 AM: well, he does not understand
I'm building it in DSL WITH ONLY stock parts, it's a stock bot, made in DSL!!!
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: JoeBlo on February 10, 2010, 09:25:14 AM: I think it is a case of you not understanding... DSL's stock parts are not the same parts as the stock ones... they may look the same but they use different text files from different locations.

yes a stock robot will load in DSL but it utilized parts in the CFZ which as far as I know are hidden=1 (aka not reachable in the botlab)
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Sparkey98 on February 10, 2010, 09:26:42 AM: oh, crap, I built an awsome bot.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: powerrave on February 10, 2010, 10:27:30 AM: then i'm afraid for you that the work on it was for nothing... well, not entirely since you now have a new awesome robot, but you can't enter with it.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Sparkey98 on February 10, 2010, 10:38:01 AM: yeah, and the fact that it's stock, with SL stock so I can't use it in stock or DSL, unless maybe I BFE of CFZ edit............(would that work?)
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 10, 2010, 10:42:17 AM: it might but you would kill your other parts
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Sparkey98 on February 10, 2010, 10:53:31 AM: I mean edit the bots file, so that the components would only be edited in him, but the same in DSL.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Sparkey98 on February 10, 2010, 11:03:45 AM: what I mean is is to edit THE BOT only, so it will work in stock, nothing else will be alterd, I'm just gonna make him stock compatible.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Stagfish on February 10, 2010, 11:05:19 AM: the only way is to reinstall your stock or copy the stock parts to your dsl
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: Badnik96 on February 10, 2010, 11:08:55 AM: I'll make the decal transparent if you want, Stag.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: JoeBlo on February 10, 2010, 06:11:10 PM: yes you could do it by BFE changing the locations of all the parts to stock directories

you would need all the names of all the stock text files, notepad++ and time to spare :P
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: G.K. on February 11, 2010, 12:56:04 AM: And he would have to use DSA.
Title: Re: ROBONOVA
Post by: ACAMS on February 12, 2010, 10:53:23 PM: What happened to Stagfish?
