There are 3 classes: Mage (Spinners), Warrior (Static), and Rangers (Burst).
Mages:
HS
VS
Sheck Spinners
Jugglers
TS
SNS(yes I consider them spinners (AW only))
Warriors:
Rammers
SNS (BW and beyond)
Rangers:
Hammers
Pokers

I need bot builders to aid me to build enemies and bosses. You should PM me what type (as in what enviroment it thrives in), if its an enemy or boss, and the weightclass.
Hell-AW BW LW
Heaven-AW MW SHW
Graveyard-AW BW LW MW HW SHW
Forest-AW BW SHW
Grassland-LW
Desert-HW SHW
Sky-(None)
Electric-MW HW SHW
Earth-(None)
Toxic-(None)
Robotic-(None)
Mountain -AW BW LW MW HW SHW
I am still working on the map, but I have to ask you guys how long do you want it to be, remember, the longer it is, the harder the game.
In this tournament I am not doing a splash, however I am gonna to do a video. Well you have heard a picture says a 1000 words, but a video is a 1000 pictures.
Since I will need 6 bots from everyone and 6 bots equals one team, so you (optional) can send in a team name and team quote. As for the logos, I might just put your avatar (if you don’t have one, I will just type your name.
Since I will already have teams, I will release them as an AI pack.
Story (To get you inspired)
You are a bot from a high tech village. You have ton of weapons to choose from. The enemies are ehhhhhh ‘ruthless’. Choose your path level up or defeat all the bosses. This is RPG Tourney : The Mechanical Duels.
It’s a league sort of like a tourney, but since my laptop is out this won’t come out until it’s fixed so lets just plan it. It will be DSL. To gain levels (levels is just the different weight classes starting with AW all the way to SHW). So you could send all 6 weight classes at once and I'll switch them when they level up.
Advancing Levels
AW to BW takes 12 exp.
BW to LW takes 18 exp.
LW to MW takes 20 exp.
MW to HW takes 24 exp.
HW to SHW takes 32 exp.
Gaining Exp.
Each enemy I make has a set amount of exp. AW enemies give 2 exp. each, BW=3 exp, LW, MW, HW, SHW=4 exp. Beating a boss gives you the enemies exp. + 5, but be warned bosses can cheat.
TWIST, starting at LW you can fight each other. You have 3 lives die 3 times and your out. Defeating a fellow competitor gives you 5 exp. In order to gain the exp. you have to make the last contact to opponent to gain the points.
As for videos, The event will be devided into days, I have Fraps but depending on how many people are in the tourney the vids might be split in parts are only show highlights.
The Map: A vast world folds in front of you. Get to the end of the map to win. Get to a certain square and face a boss. Each day the competitors can move 1 square. The map is split into several regions from the icy tundra to the forest.
Art
I could use a league chart and someone to make a splash (or teach me how to make a decent one).

Forgot to put decussion and plans in topic's name/headdesk.
-
hmmm still thinking
-
I might enter....
-
Take your time....I have more ideas.
-
what do you mean when you say you need a chart ?
-
You know in league events? Also called a standings chart.
EX. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/
-
oh yeah lol I had chart = map in my mind
I can do that for you if you tell me what you need on it ?
so do we build a bot to start off with and upgrade it each time we level up ?
-
Yes, you start as an Antweight then move up in levels. Tommorow I might even make a story to go with this.
-
I might join this it seems interesting but only put me down as maybe for now :-D
-
Story added.
-
DP
I could use an RPG sounding like song to play in the videos.
-
Leveling up is probably too short, make it so we really have to level-grind or beat bots higher up than our own in our battles.
-
So you want a challenge?
-
Only a noob likes things easy! I shall take part in your tournament, but only if you make things more difficult, and more rewarding.
-
OK *evil laugh* if you guys want I can ask people to build the enemies *more evil laugh*.
-
I don't get this in the least.
-
neither do I
-
You build 6 bots AW, BW, LW, MW, HW, SHW. You start as an AW to gain to next rank you must get exp.
-
won't this take a lot of time?
-
Yes and a lot of planning...
-
DP
As for videos, The event will be devided into days, I have Fraps but depending on how many people are in the tourney the vids might be split in parts are only show highlights.
-
I think I get this, are you going to have a map? What do the enemies look like, Can players attack each other to remove the competition?
-
that would be cool ^^^
I designed a map like bracket for if I do the jousting tournament I was planning
-
No, I ment a map where you go along a grid with certain areas being certain arenas, and there are random enemies in areas... what you have to do is go along he map and survive as long as you can, similer to most turn based stratagys.
-
yeah I know that's why I said it would be cool, but for something like this a movement system would need to be worked out after all it would be a pain to have each person select were they wanted to move
-
I'll try to work the map system in.
-
we need more of a visual on how the league will work, it's important to provide pics when you start a tourney (in the first post) it also makes it look more professional.
-
Hmm.. Interesting. I have 1 question. So if I have joined to RPG and I have all bots (AW, BW, LW and so and so...) I pack them all to same folder?
-
my question would be do all version of the bot need to be the same type ? or have something in common ?
-
Well in a RPG game when you don't turn into a warrior when you were a mage before, so at least have some resemblance like lets just say the weapon you use is similar like the level before. Ex. As and antweight you use a sledgehammer, BW= a type of hammer, it doesn't matter if the system is the same. So you could have a FS once then have a SNS.
-
it's kinda like poemon and they evolve? :S i think when you gain a lvl you should just have a bigger version of that bot cause people will just change types to suit the next challenge.
also i might have an idea for a "map" type thing. still working on it though.
-
I think trumpetguy said that we pre make all of the "evolutions" and submit them at the start
-
yeah, here's how you could set up the "map" i put in some info of how the rpg would work to fill in space :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93619ra2 rpg.JPG)
you could have 2 "zones" for each lvl (provide a pic of each boss) don't forget to make the map pretty :P how the turns would work.. you could give everyone a week to decide and submit their next move.
btw i think this idea could work well with mad's weapons ect. for bosses and stuff to give them unique abilities :)
EDIT: i think when people lose 3 matches maybe then can go out for a week or something :) also make it dsl to get more life out of it (and cause i have some nice bots i can submit as bosses :D)
-
Ok I decided to use the map idea. The Map: A vast world folds in front of you. Get to the end of the map to win. Get to a certain square and face a boss. Each day the competitors can move 1 square. The map is split into several regions from the icy tundra to the forest.
Speaking of the forest, this is one of the monster you'll be seeing in the forest.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48019Lichen Monster.jpg)
-
its completely up to you but would you like some help making splashes for the "monsters" of each region ? like one splash that has all forest monsters, etc ?
-
If you are going to make monsters for like water/ocean, could you consider Iku-Turso?
The only good picture I quickly found of him, its drawn by Don Rosa(the man in the picture)
Iku-Turso is a sea monster from Kalevala (just wiki if you want moar info)

Can i be the first to say That Nary will probably Nag our heads off. He missed the BW tournament, This tournament style is created, Ballasts are being used...
-
Yeah help is appreciated in art and bots to speed up the process.
-
Cool, But if you want a HW Popup... How are you suppoed to make a AW Popup to evolve? And Pokers, Since it need those pistons... The chasis gotta be big.
Might enter... If i can think of any AW that does damage, If your AW sucks, You lost D:
-
Another enemy, now with an ice theme
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3412Ice Nymph.jpg)
I am gonna start on the map.
-
maybe ice picks would give it more of an ice theme? :P and snow plow :)

Update:
I need bot builders to aid me to build enemies and bosses. You should PM me what type (as in what enviroment it thrives in), if its an enemy or boss, and the weightclass.

But when is it starting & Like how much time would it take to complete..?
Seems pretty big :D
You could add Grisly Bear as a Forest Boss or something :P
I can help with the Enemies (Since theyre supposed to be n00b1sH after all) But i just dont feel like playing DSL right now, I also got in a fight IRL, Giving me alot of trouble at school... :\
-
Actually make the enemy a little hard (requested by taka). I just need a certain amount of people to sign up to start (5).
-
Just 1 more person to reach the minimum amount (if JoeBlo says yes)

-
It has been clearly stated that this is DSL.
-
I need the comfirmation from JoeBlo

-
Ok looks like the building can begin.
Reminder:
It's DSL, realistic, no bot editing,period.
-
What is the weight limit for antweights again?
-
125 Kg.

How do you make an AW flipper...? or Popup? or Something..?
All i can think for an AW is a Rammer, But i dont want to be a "Warrior" (Those kind of bots suck xD)
-
Well, I just made an AW Popup.
-
Sign me up.

TP how long do we have to get robots in ? also I need to finish off the skins for you too.. sorry work overload
IDK... All i know is that im only Halfway in my team (Only got AW & LW)
Whats the Max. Weight of a BW? 225 KG, 200?
-
175 I think.
-
175 yes.
-
Wow... Thats like, The same as an AW :\
25 KG is not like: "OMG!! 25 KG more, My bot is gonna PWN!!"
-
50 not 25.
-
OMG!! 50 KG more, My bot is gonna PWN!!
Lol, I FAIL...
Also, I Have a question about the Tourney:
If we get beaten & stuff on alot of matches, And only made it to evolve to MW at the end of the Tourney, Can you go back or something to fight other bots, Or you have to try & beat the s00p4h B0zz 0f d34tH with your MW..?
-
@JB:It's TG..... and possibly after I organize everything.
@LiNcK: You die, you die.
-
lol sorry about that im used to saying TP sometimes :P ok well I have about 6-7 of the 50 billion requested arena skins done :P hopefully will knock them off on the weekend
-
Trumpet you should make a list of the bots you want us to build and put it on the first post.
-
Added the teams but this is an uber old version, since then I deleted and added bots, so I'll edit it later.
-
Soo the AW LW MW HW etc. are the bots that you already have..?
-
Bots that I need.
-
Oh.. Alright ^^
If i finish my Team ill help in building bots :P
-
Thanks, I'll try to get a more updated list tonight.
-
Bump & Question...
Anyone is actually working on this tourney? (Making/Made)
Sorreh for being a lazy noob & Not looking at Showcases :P
-
I might have to drop out, I have an extreme case of builder's block.
-
i might have to drop out, too because im out of team slots.
also, im out of ideas
-
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

*Facepalm*
And i tried so hard for my Team.. Well, Whatever, Imma still finish it in any case ;P

I gotta fix my AW... It only havoks around...
-
Possibly the only team almost to completion is the Hell's team, the MW and SHW is made by Doomkiller.
-
I can get the full Graveyard team done by the end of the week. It'll be in NAR AI v2.0 anyways so not much of a problem.
-
Thank you <3
-
i'm past the AW, now i need a SHW and i can just put together my BW, LW, MW, and HW fairly easily, so i am permanently in.
