Title: Trovaner Chassis Glitch (Trov. Glitch)
Post by: Sage on February 10, 2010, 06:12:20 PM
Yo, I made a tutorial on this amazing glitch. A video should help you immensely, because the main reason this glitch didn't get popular is because it was a little hard to understand with just text.

My WMM was messed up, so the output is a little weird (sounds a little off, etc.) but you can still get the just of it I hope.


RULES:

Enjoy!

Excellent! Well that certainly opens up some neat possibilities for creativity among us.

I feel some questions coming on... but the first one I have is: If you adjust your quality settings on your game, build the bot and test it and everything works ok, but then send it to somebody for a tournament.  Will it likely cause their game to crash if they try to use it for a match?  Or does the tourney host have to change the quality settings to accommodate the bot?

The tournament will have to change the quality settings, but if they use the little trick I showed the game will still look exactly the same, so it shouldn't be a problem.

"Bam, a completely useless chassis!"

Nice tutorial Sage.

I'm glad that someone got around to making a video of it... Thanks Sage. I also didn't know about the low graphic fix so thanks again.

The original tutorial was written on the old forums which was the reason why nobody seemed to remember it until I reposted the instructions.

I'll admit that the glitch is not very useful but if you want to tighten the chassis or make donut bots, this might help. Just remember the RA2 calculates weight by surface area (not volume).

I like your pronunciation of Chassis at 0:36.

Something driving me nuts....it's pronounced Chass-ee, not Chase-is. XD
And you did it in a CW rotation, not a CCW one. XD
Title: Re: Trovaner Chassis Glitch (Trov. Glitch)
Post by: Sage on February 21, 2010, 07:58:58 PM
Haha damn it!

It's clockwise for the first 4 points, not CCW.

It will always be chaseiss for me. Chasee just don't sound right.

I couldn't figure this out for the life of me. Thanks.

Also, you sound EXACTLY like one of my friends. It's kinda scary.

I believe both are acceptable

does anyone know that English is the hardest language in the world ? becasue we have so many variations, pronouncement and words that are the same but pronounced differently like Live (Lyve or Liv)

English = Hard? Engish is easy for me, theres just some specific words that Idont know/remember at times. Try Swedish, so many weird things about that I cant event list them all here, #1 being that it sounds ghey.

^^ You don't like the sound of your own language ? :O

English isn't that difficult for me. I have still progresses to make, but all of my english teachers (and some girls HEHE) say i have nice english :P

Edit: Off topic... someone makes a thread about languages ?

Intresting, my post seems to have removed what I said.
 
Sorry about that.
 
Anyway, I was kicked out of french along with about 70% of the people who took it for failing it.
 
Also fighting.

BOT, please!

TROV GLITCH LUURRRRVVVVVVV <3

...... Come to think of it, I haven't been able to replicate Donut bot's chassis yet. XD
Though some cool and unique designs are made possible via the Trov Glitch, I wouldn't know how to do the 'donut chassis' using it.  BFE required.
To my knowledge, there are three ways of making donut shaped chassis using my glitch. When I originally posted the glitch, I challenged people to try to figure out how to make a donut chassis (and Firebeetle posted two that I hadn't known about prior to posting the question). I still have Firebeetle's post explaining how to do it in a word document but I'm too lazy to upload the pictures; not to mention, I want to see if anyone else can figure it out.

A genuine cube 'donut chassis' with the TG?
This is interesting Trov.  I'm waiting to hear how...

I can get a 'donut shaped chassis' using the Trovaner glitch, but you can still see both ends I started baking them donuts, the baseplate is not 1 piece cut just a circuit that ends really close to its starting point
Title: Re: Trovaner Chassis Glitch (Trov. Glitch)
Post by: Madiaba on March 02, 2010, 01:11:13 PM
Ok, nice...
Got a pic, Rolo, or even better a vid?
Title: Re: Trovaner Chassis Glitch (Trov. Glitch)
Post by: russian roulette on March 03, 2010, 06:12:23 AM
At least a picture of the bot itself???
Title: Re: Trovaner Chassis Glitch (Trov. Glitch)

I deleted it as I rendered it useless, but I'll remake it for you if I can be arsed someday.

Post by: Naryar on March 07, 2010, 02:51:21 PM
Whoa. Your voice is like that at 15 ?

Anyways, we should think about the use of this glitch. Do we consider it cheating, tournament-illegal, or something ?
Title: Re: Trovaner Chassis Glitch (Trov. Glitch)
Post by: russian roulette on March 07, 2010, 02:55:40 PM
I don't seeing it being a problem, all it does is lose weight from the chassis.
