So, I was talking to Thyrus on an IM and we both had an idea.
What about having a tournament that requires someone to build a bot for stock and DSL?
So we are both going to host this tournament.
Rules:
1. This will be DSL and Stock HW.
2. This will be Stock VS Stock and DSL VS DSL.
3. The end result will be posted as a table, like BBEANS.
4. No BFE, AAM or ZeroG. All building must be done within the bot lab.
5. You may skin your bot outside of RA2.
6. Custom A.Is are allowed as long as they do not interfere with your bots performance.
7. Please A.I yourself, I can A.I but it won't be fine-tweaked.
8. If I do A.I your bot and it loses, please no moaning!
9. You must build a bot for both game types.
Stock Rules:
1. All glitches are allowed.
2. Battles will be done in a reskinned Combat Arena.
3. No cheatbot2 or custom components.
DSL Rules:
1. The realistic rule is in place.
2. No cheatbot2, A.I or custom components.
3. All fighting will be done in a reskinned DSL tourny arena.
General fighting rules:
1. You will be allowed 1 havok per match. If you havok again, you will get disqualified and you will lose that match.
I'm looking for around 16 entrants. If I wget enough interest, I will start signups soon.
I think that's all of the rules. Please say if I have missed anything and tell me what you think!
-
Well, I like stock HW but as for DSL HW......
-
You need more rules and fast. ACAMS will eat you otherwise.
-
I've added a few more rules. I'll finish them off later.
-
Phew, thought it said Stock and DSL VS (as in Vertical spinner) not STOCK vs STOCK (Versus)
-
I've updated the rules. So what do you think?
-
:O
No AI parts in stock?
-
Wait... The Snapper II is an A.I part isn't it? *Scurries to the first post*
EDIT: Changed. :)
-
YAY! Cheatbot2 components in stock! :P
-
So, are the rules ok?
-
oh hai GUMBA
But this would be interesting to try again. GUMBA sorta fell apart.

Put:
A.I. parts allowed
cheatbot2 parts not allowed
-
This will be fun, Red Dragon will enter as well as something from the deepest realms of my Stock things.
-
zero glitch is done in the lab just for reference
-
8. If I do A.I your bot and it loses, please no moaning!
I love how that is now a staple rule for tournaments,
zero glitch is done in the lab just for reference
I think you will find its really 2 rules in the 1 line....
No BFE, AAM or ZeroG
All Building Must Be Done In The BotLab
-
ohhhh i thought as if he was saying it to simplify the rule
-
oh hai GUMBA
But this would be interesting to try again. GUMBA sorta fell apart.
I just looked at the GUMBA thread and it does look like it. :P
I have one question, what's the best free game recorder? (FRAPS is too laggy. :/)
-
I use fraps :P
try running in a window
-
Ok, I'll try that.
I'll open signups soon. :)
-
Do I need to make any changes to the rules before I post the signups?
-
I've posted the signups and its awaiting approval. :)
-
Sounds cool, but what is ZeroG?
-
It is a glitch that allows you to stack anything anywhere. Basically an 'in bot lab BFE/AAM'. It is illegal.
-
It's also not usable. As of now, no one can successfully activate it on command. It seems to be random.
-
It is usable, but you need to be VERY patient to use it successfully
-
I had some really odd AGOD last night with a robot... I think it was ZeroG (never seen any pics of it so dont know)

I have one in my DSL showcase i think. I made a massive battlepack stack, they're also halfway through the chassis edges, there's a copal in one of the battlepacks and a puma in another.

I shall post my screen shot

I just looked at the GUMBA thread and it does look like it. :P Yea, Tried to finish an abandoned tourney, when neither I nor Sage had much/any free time... Back then unfinished Tourneys were a no-no.

You need to adjust the screen 'Resolution' and the 'FPSs' within FRAPS.
Nosey,...again! Your IP is being recorded for devious purposes....

Thanks, Madiaba. One question, what do you reccomend I change them to?
-
I run...
29.97 FPS rate and half size checked
I believe Madiaba did that for me..
-
Thanks, Joe. :)
