Post by: cephalopod on October 21, 2009, 04:09:36 PM
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79171RIPlogo.png)
A new DSL MW tournament, hosted by me, Craaig :D
Check out the intro video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzMTpwC5YNo
Deadline for bots is Saturday 31st October, 20:00 UTC
[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Thanks very much to Reier for the arena skin/RIP logo

BRACKET
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85593Bracket.png
Everyone's entry number will be put into a randomizer. This randomizer will give everyone the number that corresponds to where they go on the bracket.



GO AHEAD AND ENTER SOMETHING ORIGINAL. ORIGINALITY IS GREAT.
IN FACT, THERE WILL BE AWARDS AT THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT AND A FEW WILL BE BASED ON ORIGINALITY AND AMUSEMENT (what did you expect, it's me running this tournament :P)

Rules are as follows:
1. Middleweight, realistic, DSL 2.1 bots.
2. No glitches, BFE, AAM, GMF swapping etc (UNLESS it's been FULLY OK-ED with me).
3. Multibots not allowed.
4. I AI, and you don't complain about it. Do it yourself if you want to.
5. No cheatbot2 parts
6. Must show CONTROLLED MOVEMENT.
I think that just about covers mostly everything.

MATCH RULES:
1. Battles will take place in a reskinned DSL Tourney arena.
2. If a havok occurs, the match will be restarted.
3. Matches will be 2 minutes long.

ENTRIES - Remember, new rules state you must send a robot to be 'in', you can't just say you are any more.
1. Craaig
2. Pwnator
3. Reier

Okay I am in.  My bot is pretty much done, just need a name, some test runs, and AI.  Should be able to send it in either later tonight or tomorrow (whenever I come up with a name).

Edit:  So now that I am done, I just pm you with the link?

good to see people really diving it to tournaments lately, I have loads of MW robots kicking around so I should be able to enter somthing,

if you ever need any help craaig feel free to ask me :-D
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: Pwnator on October 22, 2009, 03:50:46 AM
Will you consider BFE if the attachment is still realistic? If it's okay, I'll enter Paper Cut 3. If not, then I should think of something else to build. XD
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: cephalopod on October 22, 2009, 04:24:04 AM
@123 Yep, just pm it over.

@Reier awesome. :P

@Pwn Umm, I might do. If you let me have a look, I will consider if you want :)

TP - Sorry

Updated front page. Feel free to send your bots through, but I still need permission to go ahead, don't I?
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?

You should also update the second rule regarding the realistic rule.

I need to know if there will be rumbles or not before i enter.

And because i can guess 80% of the field will be gut-rippers and flail shell spinners, i feel like entering something else than a wedge.

Depends what you mean by rumbles - like loser's rumbles?

And if you're planning on entering something different, good, I like that, variety makes everything more interesting ^_^
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: Naryar on October 22, 2009, 05:54:00 AM
You said that in the main bracket there will be either only 1vs1 fights, either a mix of these and 4-way rumbles.

That's what i need to know, because if that's only 1vs1 i would be more prone in entering a gut ripper.
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: JoeBlo on October 22, 2009, 05:58:30 AM
Im probably going to enter Double Or Nothing

https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?p=69356#post69356

only thing is the MW of that series of robots tends to AGOD a bit so you may need to pause the game then hit start match ? is that cool/ possible if not, dont worry I will find something else to enter

Yeah, I'm thinking rumbles would be better.

I'll probably do 3-way rumbles, just to make things a little more interesting, with 24 competitors. If I can't fill 24, I'll go ahead with 4 way rumbles with 16 competitors and everyone that enters afterward will either be a backup or get a wildcard match.


And I should think that would be okay Joe (:

yeah... a little longer weight sorry the MW one seems to be really havok prone and I dont mean just on the battle field, I deleted a axle and it stayed there ?? I couldn't select it and as soon as I went to test garage RA2 crashed lol

Post by: 123savethewhales on October 22, 2009, 11:31:29 AM
Lol if there are only flail SnS, the current bot I want to enter would probably lose on the first match.

Almost makes me want to enter a flail on flail on flail sns.  Back to the drawing board again I guess.

Also, is there are rule for "must show controlled movement"?  I mean I don't think you want to see a ball with spikes.

Okay, sorry guys, I would like a tight turnaround on this, I would like bots in by Monday 20:00 UTC (http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx). If the bracket isn't filled, I may offer an extension to Tuesday or Wednesday, but please, get those bots rolling in (:

Countdown (http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown.html?year=2009&month=10&date=26&hrs=20&ts=24&min=0&sec=0&tz=UTC&lang=en&show=dhms&mode=r&cdir=down&bgcolor=%23CCFFFF&fgcolor=%23000000&title=Countdown%20To)


EDIT: Just to let you all know (in reasons of fairness/so you see I don't get an extension on building/cheating by looking at all the others) my robot - Calypso - has been built
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: The Ounce on October 22, 2009, 05:58:58 PM
Finally, a DSL tournament!!!

But seeing as how I have little time to build something original....

Hell, I'll just enter the best bot I have that would be fit for this.

When I have all the bots ready and AIed, have I got to wait for confirmation from ACAMS that it's okay to run it? Just a random question XD

I've read the tournament-starting rules and it says once there's interest (which there is) he'll PM me... is this stll correct? (:

ACAMS doesn't need to approve every tournament, he'll just close the ones he thinks are badly planned or won't get finished.  And I don't think you need to worry about that; this tournament looks like it could succeed.

2. No glitches, BFE, AAM, GMF swapping etc (UNLESS for realistic purposes).


This is an incredibly easy rule to exploit. I could add an extra attachment point to something, but then justify it becuase you could attach it that way in real life.

Okay, waiting for a long time isn't fair on people who worked to get their bot in early, I'm giving until tomorrow (Saturday 31st) at 20:00 UTC

Similarly, I need your bindings in, Nary!

If I don't get all the bots in, after the entry numbers have been randomized, the last few will be entered into the Preliminary Bracket to gain a place in the main tournament.
OR
I will just use the last few people to enter in the Preliminary Bracket.

Is it ok to send a 399.0 bot? It says in game that it's heavyweight but it's surely counted as a MW? Please. I really cannot come up with anything very good and this is my only decent attempt at a bot.

Everyone's entry number will be put into a randomizer. This randomizer will give everyone the number that corresponds to where they go on the bracket.]


could I have the URL for this randomizer for Replica Wars please?

Hey craaig I am working on a bot right now... not sure if it will do well (i am not great at DSL) but you should be getting an entry from me in a couple hours.

Or get The Hat and it can pick pairs but it's pretty much the same.

399.0 can perfectly be MW so i think its ok.

Eh, I suppose. I'm nice like that, but if people have objections, I may have to reconsider. Hope that's fair :D

Great :D I look forward to seeing your entry.

DP: Guys, if 3 more entries make their way into my inbox in as many hours, it'll be a full tourney! :D

In fact, if you haven't entered, and you have a MW lying around, why not chance it and enter!
There's nothing to lose ;D

Just over an hour remains, although I'll give an hour or 2 leighway. Depends when I go to bed. But registraton will close when I go to bed (possibly 10-12 UTC)

Post by: Jack Daniels on October 31, 2009, 02:30:53 PM
Sent my bot. Let me know if I need to fix anything on it. Should conform to realistic rules just fine.

Thanks muchly.

There are spaces for 2 more bots (:

Registration is closed. I gave an hour extension.

Thank you to everyone that has entered, expect the splash soon.

On another note... NARY I NEED THOSE BINDINGS :P

Yes, but seperated obviously. I will put all 22 names in the list randomizer as well as 2 'Bye's, which will determine where they go.

In fact, I might make a bot with wheels called 'Rusty' as a Bye-Bot.

I have reason to believe STC has cheated (see below). His re-entry is over the limit to be a MW, but still says it is. I guess this results in disqualification?

Post by: JoeBlo on November 01, 2009, 04:26:54 AM
one issue I have seen before was multi extenders weighting only 2kg regardless of size (happened to SSG's Clash Cube Entry) but since it still says MW I think BFE is a possibility

on a side note one disc actually cuts the perms axle (form this angle), the one coming out the motor itself, not the one on the end of the belt
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: cephalopod on November 01, 2009, 04:30:04 AM
It gets very close to the axle, yeah. I allowed it in the original cos I'm generally too nice. Funny thing is, when you take the extenders off, it is under the limit.
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: JoeBlo on November 01, 2009, 05:14:29 AM
but dont the irons cut it ?

the extenders are 6kg each ? so removing them would take off 12kg
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: cephalopod on November 01, 2009, 05:24:23 AM
Oh yeah. The irons do cut it *was being a bit thick when I checked it over*

Don't worry, I've just checked everything else.
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: Naryar on November 01, 2009, 06:51:48 AM
These extenders are fail anyways, would have been better with 2 80cm Poly skirts.

Odd,my version of RA2 says its a MW and the weight is not 408..
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: somestrangeguy on November 01, 2009, 09:11:53 AM
You must have a broken version of DSL where all Multi Extender lenghts are 3kg, I had a similar problem for Clash Cubes 2 and had to remove 6 batteries to make it legal weight.

And that other disc cuts the motor, thus is unrealistic.

all my multiextenders are 3kg,that explains it,gotta reinstall DSL 2.1 again eh?

and as for the motor thing,should have seen that,well I'm out I guess..ah well I'll be careful next time :D
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: JoeBlo on November 01, 2009, 07:03:31 PM
I thought it was the multi extenders

but what the strange thing is that it still retained MW status ? changing text files of components changes the weight class to doesn't it ?
Title: R.I.P Tournament Idea?
Post by: Reier on November 01, 2009, 07:54:30 PM
Well the thing's unrealistic with the weapon anyway.
