Due to my last project being completed, I'm needing a new one to keep myself from going crazy...It's time for
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
FORMAT:
DSL in Nar AI
Each entrant makes a team consisting of a LW, a MW, and a HW.
Matches consist of a rumble, starting out with all LW's of 4 teams. When 1 bot is eliminated, the match is stopped and the eliminated bot is removed, to be replaced by the next bot in the team. The match will then begin anew. This goes on until 3 teams are eliminated, last team standing wins the match.
RULES:
16 entrants only
Each entrant must make their entire team.
arena will be a reskinned RA2 Tournament arena
This will be ran in NarAI v2.2. All components legal in that are legal in the tourney
No BFE, AAM, etc. All building must be done in the bot lab.
No cheatbot2 parts, ai parts, or custom parts allowed.
bots must show controlled movement.
No multibots, since they wouldn't work right anyway.
Realistic rule enforced.
each bot in a team must be different types.
A strict limit of 4 flails PER TEAM.
Standard Havok restart rules.
I reserve the right to edit videos of long matches down. This will consist of cutting out any extended section of bots in a cluster, barely moving.
Entrants AI'ing their own bots is preferred, however, i can AI if need be. But i expect no griping if i don't do it the way you want.
Bracket is such:

Here's your arena:

Prizes will be:
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b118/starcrosst/frooniumprizes.png)
1st place. Froonium Spike and Froonium Snowplow reskins. These components also feature slightly more hit points then their normal counterparts as well as slightly lighter. Once won, they can be
used in any future tournament I may run.
2nd place. Choice of Froonium spike or froonium snowplow.
There will also be a few awards handed out based on community votes, no prize other than bragging rights.
They are as follows.
Best built team: self explanatory
Best team theme: Also self explanatory
Darwin Award: Awarded to the bot that got eliminated in the most spectacularly failure way.
Eye of the Tiger: Bot that survived longer than expected
Extinction due to misadventure: Team that should've done better.
TFTW: Team from the west, i think you all know what that means.
Tourney will begin when all entrants teams are sent in and approved.
Color coded list:

*Sends Team after typing this post*
There already AIed too.
-
I'm definitely in!
Now I just have to see which bots make the best team.
-
Somebody approved this before it was ready......does not say Stock, or DSL!
EDIT: I take it this means DSL...."This will be ran in NarAI v2.2. All components legal in that are legal in the tourney"

Yes, it does. Sorry bout that, I assumed it would be understood. I'll change it to be clear.
-
Are we allowed to BFE on The Shred Sheck because that's the easiest way to get it on a SS?

NaiAI has become a stand alone mod with DSL parts, Darkrat Parts and DSL Cheat parts all apparently balanced (I havent found the time to set up my copy yet)
-
This sounds interesting, i'll enter.
-
I'm in.

we shall all have incredibly high expectations then :P
-
Count me in :D
-
Whats team from the west?
(^Noob^)
-
I see you did the prizes by yourself. They look good. :D
I won't be entering this, though. I'm not that good in DSL.
-
Whats team from the west?
(^Noob^)
Team From the West: the SFTW team of the tournament. in other words, the team that's the worst built, not expected to do well.
I see you did the prizes by yourself. They look good. :D
I won't be entering this, though. I'm not that good in DSL.
Thanks. Wasn't that difficult once if figured out the meat of it. Thanks to Sage's tutorial.
-
OK, is myentry ok?
-
OK, is myentry ok?
Just got done checking it. See no problems and counting it as approved.
-
I'm in :gawe:
-
Bots now all sent.
-
Just sent in my team.
-
G.K. and S.T.C. your teams are approved and ready to go.
-
:D
-
Team Xtreemer, your team is AI'd and ready to go. Couldn't have made it easy on me by facing all the bots the same way, huh? :P Oh well, gave me practice in finding the 'nose' values.
Anybody else?
-
I have an idea for a team. Have this weekend off, will try to work on it and put something together Mr Yoda.
-
"Mr Yoda"...I feel old now, thanks :P
Also got a friend of mine to enter. He lacks access to the internet, so he's not here on the forums, but he wants to be a part of this. That's who 'Ogre' is on the list, if anyone was confused.
-
Must- build-something
-
Sorry about the teams, i was a bit busy at the point of building doing a LP of pokemon heartgold with FOTEPX.
-
No problem, bub. Was just something i hadn't messed with yet. I actually thank you for giving me the experience.
-
Hell, it's filling up quite fast... i must really build moar but Dungeon Crawler is really too awesome :P
Will try to get my entries by this weekend.

Procrastination due to awesome games, i think we've all suffered that before.
-
Well im ready so i hope i get a Froonium whatsitcalled thing. :)
-
Can I send you my Nar AI team and can you take the first 3 bots of the team for my team here?
-

Sure, i'm allowing that for the first edition of this. If there's ever a sequel, all bots must be made anew.
-
I will enter something sometime this week Realllly busy on Tuesday >:[
-
*Will probably join as soon as I have a decent MW & HW*
-
Bubbleman, i've received and reviewed your bots. sent you a pm about a few minor issues we'll talk about.
-
BUMP for interest.
I'll enter this. :)
-
Who the heck is Ogre?
-
Who the heck is Ogre?
Ogre is a real life friend of mine, currently without internet access who wants to join in on the mayhem. Fairly new to the game, got his copy about 2 months ago, if i remember right.
-
Can I slide in at the last minute?
-
Entry's are about half way filled up.
-
Can I slide in at the last minute?

-
Can somebody drop me a link to this nar ai?also does it edit any parts of dsl?

https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=1786.0 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=1786.0)
it rebalanced all of DSL + rebalanced darkrat parts + extra skinned parts
should be kept separate from your DSL 2.1

Bots will be sent in about 20 minutes

Oops. Forgot to send it.
-
Don't wanna pressure anyone, but i'd really like to get this show on the road. Let's get some teams in.
-
I have my LW and MW but need a HW.
-
I'm struggling to find the best bot combination, but I will make sure that I get a team into this.
-
I am not entering. You make me cry in the arcade.
...
Just kidding. Actually, I haven't gathered the courage time to download NAR AI yet. I would like to see this tournament get participants and start rocking.
Please everyone, join in and makes some teams. Yoda is a great guy, he will put on a good tournament.

That's one of the reasons i wanted to do this tourney. Was curious about strategies involved with the team makeup.

I'll do my best at least. Thanks for the support :D

*Decides to make 3 Crawlers*

*Decides to make 3 Crawlers*
Won't work. 1 of the rules is all 3 must be different type bots :P
-
"Goes to make a HW crawler"
-
one will be fine. I never specified that crawlers were banned, so crawl if you wish
-
Just kidding. Actually, I haven't gathered the courage time to download NAR AI yet.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong on this, but i'm pretty sure you can build in regular ol' DSL and it'll work just fine in NarAI. Granted, doing that you won't have access to any of the new components, but other than that, you don't actually have to have NarAI to enter this.
-
Any chance I can edit my team any time soon? There's some bots I really wanna change.
-
I was able to change mine.
-
surely. edits are allowed
-
Due to the new tournament rules, and the desire to get this thing going, I am putting a 1 week from today limit on getting teams in. Sign ups will close Friday, June 25th at approximately 6 p.m. Central time and the tournament will proceed with whatever approved teams I have. I will allow team edits for 3 days after that. expect the first vids to be uploaded sometime on June 30th.
Let's have some fun and see who survives.
-
I'll enter! :dance:
-
better hurry, then, not much time left on the clock
-
Yoda, sorry but I have to drop out. My DSL just crashed and I copied the bots onto a fresh copy and it won't work. Sorry for letting you down.
-
I take it that that means BTTB 2 as well?
-
No, hopefully I will be able to get everything by then.
Or I might just build another bot. :P
-
OK. I uploaded my bots under "Freeziez's Survival of the Fittest Entry" in the File Hoster, but what do I do next?
-
My DSL randomly started working again. O_o

It should've given you a link, just send that in a pm
-
lol I made a team for this... got it all AI'd... thought I was being pretty clever... but for some reason, I had it in my head that this was in the Combat Arena.
Oh well, there's plenty of spots and I already went to all the work making the bots, no reason not to enter. We'll see how I do in an arena with low walls. If anything, I'll be an easy win for somebody someone.
Maybe I'll change some of my bots if I can come up with a LW or MW that's better in this arena (I think my HW is still good, at least).
Although I do really want to see how the LW does... it uses a very unconventional (and possibly controversial) strategy. ;)
Edit: Hey cool, I just thought of some bots I can use that are much better in this arena AND don't ruin my team's theme. Expect an update...
-
The lightweight is...quite bizarre. lol. Had quite a 'what the heck?" moment when i saw him. update will be accepted if you wish. If not, i'm kinda curious to see what it'll do.
EDIT: Ahhh, I see now. Interesting strategy.
-
Crawler ? :P Kidding.
Anyways, i will try to build something but if i don't get anythng can your get in some v2.3 bots as my entries ?
-
My team very much sucks, but I couldn't come up with any outstanding combination. I'm not expecting to fare well.
-

approximately 36 hours remaining, give or take an hour or two.

DP
The Ounce, you've been moved up to the approved list. Thanks.
23 or 24 hours remaining.
-
Did you get my new heavyweight, yoda?
-
sure did. Everything's good with it. Thank you :D
-
Congratulations freeziez. Through all the problems, you stuck through it. And now your team is accepted. I'll get it AI-ed and ready to go for ya.
approximately 6 1/2 hours remaining.
-
Thanks so much!
-
Allright, Signups are officially closed. I'll accept updates for the next three days, at which point we'll get this underway. And though sign ups are officially closed, Since there's still a few spots open, I guess I could take a few late entrants as well.
