Wild Card Rally-SBV

[R01]

I once did about testing out a new IRL building style for my mod

???

You keep mentioning this mod but you've never released a singe component or mod for RA2. Can you even AI?

Pretty sure I once talked about it in the GTM Discord and how this is all just a concept so far(so yeah go ahead and say whatever you want since it doesn't exist and "oh another user that just talks nonsense and doesn't do anything to prove it", even through I made sure that plenty of things could actually be done that way), mentioned that I'd wait for Serge to do his RA2 blender suite and hopefully do it with that(so I don't have to do this over 3ds max which I have little knowledge of and would need to be run in a Virtual Machine, also let's not forget license costs if I wanted to do this properly)

Since said tools don't exist yet, I can't do the mod of course, and even once they do, I doubt that this mod would ever be made as my interest in RA2 has been dropping, that's why I mentioned that I can't guarantee that everything will ever be done for it.

I did talk about more details with certain members, however I wouldn't want to share any of that, because it would just leave to the above mentioned situation as plenty of GTM is "pics or it didn't happen", so yeah you can simply ignore it.

Also that building style, together with a second one, was planned to be the main one for the mod, don't think a building style rule(like DSL-S or IRL) directly needs a mod in order to be made, neither can concepts, they can exist independently from a mod. It's not something I came up with as well, it existed way before that, but imagine having a entire mod/tournament that only has bots built that way.

And yeah I can AI ^^ just rarely do it for Tournaments since I'm usually so low on time. Did AI my bot for Hi5er's tournament and I do think I sent you a AI line for my bot Your Best Dream in the people's choice, did I not?

i'm voting hypershocked just to get more text walls out of r01

Just show us some pics to prove that you at least have done something. If you've been working on such a mod, then why don't you prove that you have done something related to what you have mentioned?

Righto, guys, try and stay on-topic.

[Gulden]

Squawk got impatient.
So he tried to kill everyone.

[wrhysj]

Feel like sqwak is on Eric level of epicness. And for the grudge matches can you go the overkill knife mode for great suisse v sqwak then flipper mode in the loser rumble

I suggest telling me what to use via PM rather than reply next time.

[F1Krazy]

Wow, when you said everyone, you meant everyone...

I can't believe my first loss on GTM was to a chicken. Pretty good chicken though, it has to be said. Hopefully I'll have better luck against Arachnida... and in the final 4, of course :P

Did you wire Battle Breaker's weapon using a switch? Because it sounded like it was rapidly turning on and off, which is apparently what will happen if you wire an AI bot's spinning weapon using a switch. You're supposed to use buttons instead. Still carved Squawk up pretty nicely though.

The Great Suisse battle gave me uncomfortable flashbacks to Vertigo v Torrenta 2 from Redditbots >.> EDIT: And they still have two more fights to go... I hope the rest of them aren't that boring :P

What did Sun Ray get stuck on at the end of its match? It looked like it just stopped moving for no reason.

Kevlar actually won a round

[kix]

Wow, when you said everyone, you meant everyone...

Aww. Man! Now i wanna fight everyone!
Well.. my bot

[Thrackerzod]

oh dang Termite actually won a fight

Next time, will there be a next time???

Still carved Squawk up pretty nicely though. I was still a newb when I AIed BB.

What did Sun Ray get stuck on at the end of its match? It looked like it just stopped moving for no reason. Personally I have no idea.  But it wasn't a havok so I couldn't restart.

Other tournaments.

[Merrick]

The lad did good. <3

[kix]

Mazakari
Your bot was a bit... Headless

[wakkydude]

I would've equally found a commitment to keeping Sun Ray flipped the way it originally fought flat out hilarious. Meme potential was missed in the process.

Anyway, I'm glad it lived up to its legacy of doing absolutely nothing right. While something like that wasn't what I was going for when I made it, in retrospect, I feel like this is the outcome it would have really wanted.

[Gulden]

The result is in!

Hypershocked: 6
Blizzard: 3
Arachnida: 1





Next episode will be the final 2, so swiss army bots, tell me what you'll use on all the opponents if possible.

There'll probably be a lot of editing too so it might take some extra time.
Just do it at your earliest convenience.

oh dang Termite actually won a fight

Same for Hypershocked, was surprised that it lasted the 3 minutes since it can easily run out of batteries if the Clamp gets spammed.
Termite caused a good bit of destruction, then again I've heard that ant blades are basically the razors of DSL 2.2?

Is Battle Breaker really using a switch? I thought it really needed to be a button in order for the AI to detect it, but I guess it's just the control name that gets searched(and since a button command(dunno why a button is used, does it allow for faster speed or was that just something carried over form Stock AI?) is made to be pressed while a switch only needs to be turned on once, they don't fully work like that)

Guess Wakkydude can be happy now as his bot appeared in a fight like it was originally intended to be.


I'm surprised to see that Hypershocked got that many votes(thought that it was out this time for sure), in case it wasn't already obvious, it's really the Spinner of the West of this tournament(which is most likely the reason it got that many votes, that or people really want to mess around with Gulden).

I knew that it would most likely not win any match(unless it would be facing bots with chassis armor) since it's weapon is so ineffective(also low battery life if spammed), but I still wanted to enter it for GTM RW for entertainment, because who wouldn't like to see a bot getting taken apart like that?(Not really a reason why I watch Robot Combat, I prefer the strategic control matches more, called "boring pushing matches" by most, althrough those can still be nice once in a while) as long as DSL doesn't want to havok or slow down(happened once in a while, it only seemed to happen against the replica MechaV, not against normal bots?), which luckily didn't happen in this Tournament, at least not until the matches were over :P that's completely fine.

I did notice some of the bot flaws after entering it for GTM RW, so I tried to update it for Wildcard Rally but didn't have all the time required(as such battery life is still low and there isn't any front/top protection) also didn't notice until now that the Spike Strips wouldn't work well as wedges at all(might have to check what's causing it).


Green Arrow should have this(also were the matches done like that on purpose? That's the second grudge match that happens in the main competition now), bigger range with a overhead hammer as well as better armor protection.

[Gulden]

Who will win it all!?




Awards will be done after the rumble and grudges.

[Probably Rob]

Wow, that was really surprising. Those were great matches. A VERY better match between me and F1, unlike that other website. Well done, my Essex lad. Come to the Co-op, and let's have some Haribo!

Have finally won my very first tournament. Very happy, and a bit Hypershocked. Congrats with the tournament, 'flame, and good job, everyone!
