Title: See No Evil
Post by: JoeBlo on September 05, 2011, 07:12:56 AM

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69540SNE.png)

Its back from the dead a year after I originally made the topic :P, some stuff has changed a bit so be sure to re-read everything.

Format -

16 Robot Bracket, Best out of 3, Single Elimination

Basic Rules

Stock v1.4 with normal AI Parts Allowed (Including 140cm Extenders)
No Cheatbot2 stuff
No BFE/AAM/Zero-G/Thyrus Hax Burst, etc. I will check every bot file's armors too...
Normal stock glitching/ stacking is allowed
Hax mode is completely permitted
Exo Stacking and Casters however are not allowed
Robots must show controlled movement and use at least 2 powered wheels for movement.
Weightclass is Lightweight, robot may not weigh more then 249.0kg
Arena will be the Graveyard Arena (pics to follow when I finish it)

Extra Info

All   parts in my game will be skinned 100% transparent so only the chassis   can be seen (so you can see some action still) a defeated robot will be   revealed at the end of the fight with all parts visible...

I   encourage all to make new robots and not showcase them (at least not   showcasing as "this is my entry") as that just spoils the fun. Also try and skin some nice looks to it so its not just 2 white boxes moving about the arena :P

I   will AI any robots, but I encourage you all to give it a try (I will   tweak out any mistakes) its a great skill to have.

There will be a bonus challenge/ award for those that want to guess all the robot types prior to the matches

Shame I don't build stock anymore. But in my personal opinion if you make it DSL MW, then most of the robots would look more like battery boxes making it a lot harder to tell apart. Just a point of reference.

Heeey, I remember this... I always wondered what happened to it. Hax mode lightweights will be interesting...

I am completely up for this. =D Going to be very interesting indeed to see what is produced.

I'm guessing that most bots will be uber stacked HS but we shall see...

Why would we want robots hard to tell apart?

Well I hope with Hax mode it open up possibilities to make other types effective, Stock will always be HS spam in the lower weight classes

Yeah. At the moment I have a pretty cool idea and hax mode just might be able to give me the weight that I need.

But now with hax mode hs will be even stronger D:

Just quickly whipped up these to work out everything before the arena goers into production..

I just plan my arenas out in Sketch up rather then drawings so I can see it in 3D form, I just used the default textures but the real arena will have a proper skin made by me..

Robots start on the Corner "Crypt blocks" and The Green things are Flamethrowers which I will make green for a more ghostly feel..

There is a few extra surprises that you will find out about later..  ;)

Hey Joe you know you don't actually need to skin all the components invisible right?  Just shove this in the arena py:
 

Code: [Select]

    def Introduction(self):
        for comp in xrange(1, plus.describe(0).count(" ")): plus.show(0,comp,0)
        for comp in xrange(1, plus.describe(1).count(" ")): plus.show(1,comp,0)
        yield 0

That will make everything except the chassis on both bots invisible before the match starts.  (The chassis can also be made invisible if you change the first 1 to a 0.)

:O Thank you very much mr beetle (sorry read this on my phone days ago but forgot to reply when I got back to my computer) huge time saver..

Sign Ups are expected to open on September 24, the signups phase will not have a time limit but will close 24 hours after the 16th robot is sent in.. 1 free update is allowed if its done before the close of sign ups, update means exactly that, update of the existing robot.. you may not send a different robot later so as to save your place..

Due to Clickbeetle just saving me hours of work now and further down the track I will hold you a place from the opening time on the 24th until the end of the 25th (central time) in the event the sign ups fill up before the close of the 25th, I will accept the next legal entry and hold it as a substitute that will slip in if Click doesnt take his place.

Damn it, I can't choose what to build. All my somewhat original anti HS designs have a fatal flaw, me building a HS would get boring since we all know there's gonna be at least five single-HPZ 9-macers on this, a rammer will get raped by the first popup it would fall on (if it does fall on one), a popup is way too dangerous to enter and not reliable at LW level, a SnS can't reach the weapon weight and spinning speed a HS gets... damn.

VS would be an option but will clearly get outweaponed by a HS... in overall I can't find anything else worth entering than a rammer, seeing that LW popups are much more rare than HS and rammers in overall.

Due to personally tragic reasons (hence my lack of activity in the last 3 days) I dont really feel comfortable at this stage going with the "Graveyard" arena and other similar themed content..

So its either postpone the tournament (Id rather not do it since I want some projects to keep my mind occupied) or face-lift it a bit..

So if anyone has any existing arena suggestions (including Backlash arena's in the preview thread) feel free to suggest them..

Sorry for any inconvenience..

You were planning on using the old XTY arena for this last year, iirc? How about we go back to that?

Title: Re: See No Evil

Pretty sure you could do an awesome metal skull arena reskin and use it for this tourney.

Sorry to hear that.  I hope everything is going to be ok Joe.  If someone close to you passed away, maybe the arena could be dedicated to them in honor.

Nearly finished a new arena for this.. the only clue I will give at this stage is its a heavily modified Metal Skull Arena..
