How do I sign up, exactly?

Well, Craaig made a tutorial for this a long time ago whish helped me out.

1. Read the requirements of the tournament you wish to enter, noting weight class, game type and any restrictions.

2. Built a bot suitable to these requirements.

3. Leave the botlab, and in Team HQ, click the robot once, and then press export.

4. The bot will be exported to the 'Robot Designs' folder of your RA2 folder.

5. Put the .bot file into a .zip file - most Windows OS can make .zip folders.
-ALTERNATIVE: Use winRAR to put the file into a .rar file. After installing the free winRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm) program, right click the .bot file, and click 'Add to *botname*.rar'.

6. Go to the GTM File Host (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/page,page4749.html) and upload the .zip or .rar file you just created.

7. The uploader will give you a line of code. Select this code, right-click and copy.

8. Go to the tournament signups page (ENSURE THE TOURNAMENT IS IN THE SIGNUPS STAGE FIRST, AND NOT DISCUSSION, AND ALSO THAT IT IS NOT FULL) and click the message icon (Image removed from quote.) to send the host (the first poster, who runs the tournament) a personal message.

9. In this personal message, right-click and paste the code from earlier. Add any relevant information if you feel necessary, remembering to state why you are sending it in either the subject or message.

10. Send the message, and hope it all goes well! :D

Edit: Actually, Craaig made a newer tutorial which has a few different steps, but it's just as simple. You can find it here.

And seeing this post reminded me I made that original one, so I popped that older one onto the end of the new one (as it's a little more complex and less picturey). Thanks for that :P

Please enter guys. I do have a deadline planned and that could happen anytime. It could happen in 6 weeks, it could happen in 9 months, or it could be the very next day. You never know, so if you want to enter, always be ready.

I really don't want to keep bumping this to get interest because I'll sound arrogant, but I'm doing it anyway to see if people still care.

I want to enter, but I can't work on an entry until the end of this week unfortunately.

I'll definitely enter this. I want to get more into tournaments in RA2. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to AI, so you might have to do that for me. I'll have a robot for u by the end of this week.

Thanks. I'm already excited.

The Ounce received, going to take a look at it eventually.

I need an interesting idea on what to enter. It'll be an hybrid, of course, or a rare bot-type, but I don't have any other ideas other than a boring Grinding Noise clone.

edit: Oh wait now I have an idea

Kungfooey242 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 19, 2014, 03:59:06 PM »

Sorry if i seem a little picky, but i recently changed my username to Kungfooey242 (with an f). So, if you can change that in the signups list that would be awesome.

RedAce · « **Reply #35 on:** December 29, 2014, 02:56:09 PM »

Okay, I probably should have specified this but I'm at least hoping to get 12 entrants before I move on to secondary signups. In case I only get 12 bots, I probably will do the tournament anyway, but I should contact Craaig if that's okay.

NeighImACarrot · « **Reply #36 on:** December 29, 2014, 03:09:15 PM »

I'll make a bot some time this week.

RedAce · « **Reply #37 on:** January 01, 2015, 12:00:25 PM »

All righty then. I'm going to say this now. On Saturday, I've got IRL plans that will pretty much leave me working to the point where I will be very busy, so If I do happen to get some entries, I might not get to them as quickly as I normally do.
