Not a real tournament, more just fun.
If any of you know, i did a series on YouTube called Wild Robots, which was set to have a series 3 but get cancelled due to various reasons.
Now, a few months on, im thinking about bringing the series back.
For this series, i hope to have a few more weight classes introduced.
Of course there will be the HW compotition, and the FW (Featherweight) compotition.
But, i\'ll be needing some help with the AWs, BWs, LWs, MWs and SHWs (Yes, i aim big)
If any of you guys would like to make a couple of bots in tose weight classes, then that could really help me out.
The idea of Wild Robots is of course realisticness (ABSOLUTE) and maybe a couple of SFTW, just so that it gives the little bit better flippers and spinners a chance to show theyre potential XD
So, maybe a few SFTW, in those weight classes that i mentioned and a couple of FWs.
Rules for FWs have changed, they can be any size, BUT they must weigh from 175-200kg (RA2 weight)
Of course if your attempt at a LW truns it into a FW, you can have it as a LW if you want.
All FWs must have FW- in front of them (Same with AWs (AW-) and BWs (BW-) like in DSL)
Im only looking for up to 10 in AWs, BWs, FWs, LWs and MWs, and only 4 in SHW.
All HWs will be left up to me.
And please remember, this is just a bit of fun, no far to serious entrys, just as long as it is entertaining, then thats ok, it could just be a box with wheels, so what, its still a robot.
Thanks a lot, and all those who help will get all my thanks.
Wham
(If you want to see the old series of WR, just go to my YT account at:
www.youtube.com/whamettnuht (https://gametechmods.com/forums/www.youtube.com/whamettnuht))
(EDIT: YES IM A HW!!!!!!!!!)
-
Sounds fun.
-
Sweet. I'm building stuff for this.
I'm guessing.. DSL bots with true-to-life realism?
-
Yes, it is DSL, but if you contact me, i can give you some components that im using for the FWs, AWs, BWs, and maybe the other weight classes.
BUT these are cheat components, so thats why you must PM me for them.
-
Might enter something.
So - you're looking up to 54 bots in total ?
-
Well, series 3 was set to have 80 robots overall.
So i hope to get as close to the margin of 80 as possible.
BTW, I will AI the bots but if you want to then thanks!
And Naryar, its just some fun, lol.
-
did you get my bot
-
yes
-
Did you get my bots? I'm sorta worried because you never replied.
Also, you should say how many spots there are left in each class.
Also, making more bots along with the ones I sent.
-
Sorry guys, im on my hols.
Yes Redline, i did get your robots.
At the moment im just waiting for robots to come in, so theres not much of a limit.
But im just happy with about 50 HWs, 30 FWs, 12 LWs, 12 MWs and about 4 SHWs (lagfest)
So, just keep sending those bots in, then hopefully the series can start!
Thanks to those who have entered.
Can those who are working on bots for the series try and go to the area of FWs please, as thats the main catergory along with the HWs.
Also, for those of you who might need a component edited for any of your bots, wether its re-skinning or editing the txt file ofa component, just let me know (unfortunatly im not that keen on flame throwers)
The best time is next week for me.
-
This'll look good...
-
Wham, is there a weight limit for SHW's?
-
Wham, is there a weight limit for SHW's?
I'm guessing it's 1200 like the 'official' DSL SHW weight limit.
-
Well, due to like the other weight classes and all i'll probably have to make it 1000.
So Nar, what ya making, box on wheels or SFTW Roadkill? lol.
-
Blood on the walls...
-
Probably a popup/true popup hybrid (1 burst motor firing upwards like a flipper (aka true popup), the other like a normal popup) with 2 Beta spring loaded burst motors and LOTS of razors.
Maybe Etek-Techno Destructo drive also.
I was planning that to be a 1200-kg bot (like Redline said, DSL3 SHW official class).
-
Ok, DSL 3 SHW class limit.
And Nar, THIS IS JUST A BIT OF FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please try and make your bot at least a slight bit destructable o.O
-
Better chance telling a bird not to fly, mate.
-
Meh, your right :/
HF2 and SR2 will get slaughtered if Nar makes a HW!
-
will there be prizes???
-
No. Only the key to the USA.
-
No, there is no prize, as i said before, its just a bit of fun.
-
'K. Will make this a freak show.
What do you call precisely "true to life realism" anyways ? And how will be the arena ?
-
Well, say for a start no glitches.
Its really like the DSL realistic rule.
-
How many bots have been entered per class, Wham?
---
I've been thinking I should make the "ultimate realism" rules.
-
Well, i dont know exactly, but when the time comes i'll just gto with what i have.
---
No need to, just go with the DSL Realistic rules then i'll see how it can be made more realistic from there.
EDIT: Anyone know some music which i could use a theme song for the event?
-
I'm not forgetting this and i might enter some of my NAR AI pack rebuilds.
Especially Second Sentinel which owns.
-
Did you get my entries yet, Wham? I can't wait for it to start!
-
No, no entrys for a long time.
LATEST NEWS:
AI'ed bots go up to the DSL Black Storm team, so AI'ing and bots are going ok.
In order for the series to start, i need at least 50 robots (like 4 aws, 2bws, ect)
Once i have enough bots going, i may do a video of the competitors (Just the HWs)
Also, im looking for any good music i can use in the new series (Battles, theme, inbetween fights, ect.)
Im kinda stuck for ideas robot wise, if i dont get any good ones i may have to go for box's on wheels XD
Also, not exactly needed, but if anyone has expirience in editing arenas, i would love it if the arena for this series was updated from the original one.
Thanks
Wham
-
What's the bot count then?
-
So it has walls and you can throw your opponents OOTA?
-
What do you mean?
-
out of the arena (methinks)
-
no not what naryar said, what, Wham said.
-
Um, if you mean that i need 50 robots, then yeah, i need 50 :?
You can (at the moment) OOTA bots, but hopefully once i get some help, that may change a little.
-
What I meant was, did you get my 'bots? I wasn't sure what you said.
-
Ohh, no, no bots recived.
Got music for the trailer sorted out, it will be Kashmir by a Britains Got Talent group called Escala (String quartet)
-
when the time comes, should I give them to you again?
-
i will send you a handful of bots this evening.
-
what weight classes are you still chasing wham? I have a few that I may enter
-
I just threw 6 bots your way... hopefully that will help you get to your goal. Let me know if you have any problems.
-
When will you accept entries?
-
What is the max number of bots we could use?
-
OK, YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR ME, WHILE YOUR PARTYING IM SLEEPING!
Anyway, send me bots ASAP.
PLEASE TRY AND AVOID REPLICAS, AND BOTS MUST BE DSL.
Im still accepting Heavys (atleast 30)
Plus about 10 more Featherweights could be good. (176-200kg)
Then i'll just go to middles lights ants beetles ect.
Plus, any music i can use for the series please tell me, no need to send, i will just get it myself.
Thanks
Wham
-
What arena?
ANd are you AIing?
-
Right, talking with mad about the arena, at the mo its the RA2 Toruny arena (BBEANS 1)
Yes, i'll do all the AI'ing for the bots.
Anyway, ideas for the arena are so far a back wall, pits and floor flipper.
-
Do you need mine again?
-
So will there be walls for flippers?
-
Music: I have some Deadlocked music I can give:
like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL_2wCG-yKU
-
Can I get Your Email Wam? i need to REsend the bots.
-
Ok, Natef, i got your bots by email.
There might be a flipper wall in the arena to make things a bit harder for flippers.
Anyway, im still accepting entries, and making my own.
Im going to have a a few replicas from DSL (Storm 2, Behemoth, Supernova, Chaos 2, Pussycat, Wheely Big Cheese, Tornado, 259, Hypno-Disc, The Judge & Dominator 2, these bots are my favs out of the DSL pack, plus i may be changing some of them slightly, for example, just today i replced the motors in Storm 2 for some better ones)
These are the only replicas im having at the moment, but i may bring more in if needed.
Thanks for any music suggestions, they'll really help me to make this series the best yet.
Thanks
Wham
-
Expect Shogun, Second Sentinel, BOT-206, Razorback 2 and some other origina things from me.
-
Ohh great :/
Word of warning, I MAY NOT USE EVERY ROBOT THAT IS SENT.
-
I'm too lazy to read 6 pages.
Will you need an arena skin?
-
Wham, the robot I sent you (Little Metal Maniac) is actually a BW.
-
@Redline: No, im doing all arena skins.
@Natef: Ok
-
I'm sending 4 bots as we speak (type).
-
@Redline: No, im doing all arena skins.
@Natef: Ok
Wham i have a bot you could use just give me your email and i will send it
-
No, no entrys for a long time.

-
@Nar: If you like
@ Somebody: tut tut tut...
-
Music? I has that...
http://host.kg13.com/music/
Take a pick from any Ratchet and Clank game. There is a lot of them...
-
Ratchet and clank music? Thnks sys32, but i though ratchet 4 was gladiator?
-
Yes it is, it released as Deadlocked in America(me thinks) and as Gladiator in Europe. Most likely just to confuse customers or something like that(and it seems to be working too)
-
im in australia... but thanks for the expelation
-
i sent you some more bots, did you get them? BTW, the robot We didn't start the fire is facing the wrong way.

Yes it is, it released as Deadlocked in America(me thinks) and as Gladiator in Europe. Most likely just to confuse customers or something like that(and it seems to be working too)
I have Ratchet Deadlocked
-
Wham, I don't know how to attach my bots via PM.
-
You use the GTM File uploader and PM the download link to Wham.
-
im in australia... but thanks for the expelation
when it comes to games we get what Europe gets
-
Thanks!
-
I tried it, but it said that the files need to be .zip or .rar mine are .bot.

Do ya have WinRar? Just right click your .bot file and select "add to (name).rar" then upload that.
-
Alright, Wham I sent them!
-

There will only be 1 winner from the 3 way melees.
The 2 winners will then face off to decide who moves into the semis.
In the semis, the 6 winners are split into three head to head matches.
The 3 winners move on, whilst the 3 losers have a melee to decide who joins the winners
The 4 winners move then face off in two head to head matches.
In the final, the winners face off, and the losers face off.
With this rather short arrangment in the final, i can also hold the finals for some of the other weight classes (eg Feathers)
Yes, a rather short tourny, but long enough to get things started again.
I have the HWs, still doing work on the other weight classes.
And im still doing work on the arena, which means the tourny may be still a bit off.
A splash of the competitor robots (HW) will be coming soon.
-
I can't wait!!!!
-
Hmm.I'll send in BW- Smart Box.
-
Hmm. Can you list the bot's that did'nt make it?
P.S I'll give you BW- Smart Box.
-
Will the ones that didn't get the cut be in a future series?
-
Oh S***!
I know i sent you the link to smart box but its broken!
I'll resend it!
-
When will the other heats (LW etc.) be posted?
-
Yeah, curious about those.
-
The bots that didnt make the cut will probably make the next series (there arnt that many TBH, so i'll probably make some more for series 4.
The heats for the other weight classes will be revealed later.
-
LRA2, will you PLEASE cut the language already? You're by far the filthiest-mouthed 8 year old I have ever known. You can easily say the same thing without the strong words and it'd have the same meaning.
-
True true.
-
The bots that didnt make the cut will probably make the next series (there arnt that many TBH, so i'll probably make some more for series 4.
The heats for the other weight classes will be revealed later.
Good, I hope at least some of my entries will fight.
-
Nate, you sent so many bots i could hardy include most of them :P
-
Nate, you sent so many bots i could hardy include most of them :P
lol
-
Did any of mine make it?
-
I'm curious too naturally.
-
Did Smart Box make the cut?
-
How do I upload my bot and what is the deadline for this?
-
How do I upload my bot and what is the deadline for this?

-
WILD ROBOTS IS COMING BACK!!!!
Big thank you to Mad and Trov for this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1594screenshot_131.JPG)
New changes:
When a robot goes OOTA, the OOTA'd bot has 5 seconds to get back in, whilst the other bot(s) either go to the middle or continue fighting (more than 2 bot in)
With the arena done, i can now being to start fliming the HW and FW fights, but AWs might have to be delayed for a bit due to some errors still with the arena.
So, all in all, im hoping to have the fights done by sunday (heats anyway) and the first heat(s) done by next week.
So, LOOK OUT, AS WILD ROBOTS IS OFFICALLY RETURNING!!!
EDIT: And a big thanks to Red for the floor skin.
-
wow fantastic work by everyone involved to put that together, I cant wait to see this arena in action... is there any limits for Mad or Trov ? lol
-
I managed to film the HW fights last night! ^-^
So, with them done and now the FWs...
TRAILER!!!!:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CydoLzJAlEI
I know who the winners of the HWs and FWs are, so you guys are going to have to watch because i aint saying :P
A lot of suprises in this new series, plenty of great fights and TONNES of destruction :D
I've already made some changes to some of the bots, meaning that NEXT series will be even better!!
But of course, i'm going to have to get this series done and dusted first, and asap, as all the filming has left me with 3.17gb's left! O.O (Why must the files be so big?)
So, im going to start with heat A today, get the new vid look for the heats and stuff out of the way, then the rest of the heats will be finished quicker and easier.
So, untill heat A, see ya!
-Wham
-
What about BWS?
-
LRA2, im not doing BWs now, anyway, even if i was, yours wouldnt make the grade (far from it)
-
This is gonna be great
-
Seeing the level of difficulty of this tournament i think LRA2 could make it...
-
Probably, but seeing as im not doing BWs and the ONLY robot he sent was a BW, yeah.
-
Very nice trailer!
Cant wait to see this tourney start :D
Good luck to all who entered :D
-
None of my bots were in it. :( Well I think...
-
I'm looking forward to seeing these vids and seeing if some of my bots got in. You know ive been following your wild robots series since it started :P
Nice looking arena too. Good work Mad and Trovaner.
-
My favorite robot in Wild robots was allways Ubber Chuzzle I dont really know why
-
......Nice looking arena too. Good work Mad and Trovaner.
The base of this arena was already there. Wham started modding this BBEANS arena taking out the middle walls and prop, and heck raisers in the corners; till he ran into techy stuff (though he did pretty well on his own:-D). He then turned it over to me, who separated the 4 cardinal walls in the gmf, and then coded each them to operate separately. Then I enlisted Trov (who is extremely generous with his time) to code the timing of the walls and such. The coding in this one is involved.
Thanks goes to CB, though, for the base of this arena.
*Hope I didn't give away too much*
.
-
Heat A is up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RA2KBo4p_8
Heat B coming next sunday.
-
cant wait
-
Nice arena.
However, it makes the flippers absolutely worthless.
Edit: Could we get a splash or something as well... because we can't see who made the robots.
-
Wham,
Real nice vid.
Couldn't see the 4 bot score/life gibs.
Nar, The walls are only forgiving for 3-4 OOTAs,..then too bad.
-
@Nar: you dont need a splash as all of the robots are mine.
@Mad: Yeah, i turned those life things off, as it adds to the mystery of whats going on.
-
None of mine were in. :( That's okay. (most of them were just fodder anyways.)
-
i love wild robots
especially speed ramp
-
I liked Megabyte Evo, but it died in the first round. :( I think it was the best Sheck Spinner there.
-
big bump
