Oh so it's finally up. Hope it can still get done in time.

So that's what Redace and 090901's bots were made for.
The first version of Snowy did very well in testing, outwedging everything, however during the different versions the wedge got worse somehow to the point where even the very first one didn't have any good one.
Think a version also had the Flamethrowers completely inside the bot but that was changed so they have a better fire angle(the hitbox for flames seems to be smaller than the actual projectile), big thanks to apanx for the better AI file which makes sure that it won't get hit sideways while waiting for the other bot to get counted out.
Because the wedges are such a mess now(as well as most bots having great side protection), I doubt that this bot will get far, also the N12's look rather slim here for some reason.

Recording has begun, but I am still struggling with two of the entries.

I have requested help in the AI forum.

Eternalsnowy? That's the AI name but the Bot is actually Snowy 1.0, don't mind keeping it however.

Its not hard to change, when I update the scores and brackets I'll amend it :)

I mean...I didn't send you any AI lines and specifically suggested lowering the radius for when you do it, but it's been fun to watch anyway.

Ah apologies. I normally set spinning weapons to 99 so they're on all the time, so I set yours to 50, apparently not low enough!

I did say I take no responsibility for poor performance if you leave the Ai up to me!

But it's not over yet, every bot plays each bot twice, so still plenty of matches for you to pick up points.

Round 2 is being uploaded to youtube as we speak and rounds 3 and 4 have been recorded, just need to edit them down, some surprises in there tonight!

Still Sucks is such a cool bot.

Hi5er, you should really try to record in 1080p and not use bandicam. 2003 resolution and a big watermark es no bueno

Definitely my favourite entry of the tournament so far. Such a simple design but well built and works so well!

I can't remember who, but someone reccomended bandicam, it gets the job done and I'm not trying to win any awards haha. It is set to high output and im exporting the film in the highest resolution from my video editing software so im not sure why the quality is so low... If I ever host something else I'll look into alternatives!

EDIT - quality doesn't seem too bad? You can adjust it to 1080p in the video settings?

Yes but your game isn't running in 1080p, it's at whatever 2003-tier res you selected in the ingame menu. I have a tutorial in the tutorials section if you wanna put some time into it. If not, just make sure your game is running at 1080p.

ohhhhh. Now I get you. I've just got mine set to 800x600 res and high detail. I like to have a few things open when im recording, so its handy just sticking RA2 in a liil window on it's own haha but that's most likely why the quality isn't up to scratch.

I may well look into your tutorial in the near future, but im fine with how it is for now, I've only got like a week to finish this tourney up so I'd rather stay focused with what little time I have for the time being, cheers though!

In other news, Round 4 is up!

Still Sucks looks nice, weren't Flail Rammers in DSL done like that before?

I don't mind 800x600 as long as the encoding isn't bad, but I guess having it with higher resolution would be nice. Also don't change the graphic details, open up ra2.cfg and set graphicdetail=0, this has the high graphics setting but with the chassis rendnering of the low one(don't worry, quality won't be worse) so none of the chassis texture skins will be glitched and you can use trov chassis glitch bots, which would otherwise crash the game.

Try Turn 40, and maybe turn the turnspeed down to 1.4 or 1.3 too.

I have amended turn and turn speed from Round 5 onwards, wonder what effect that will have...!

Speaking of which, Round 5 is up!
