So Are You In?

If you want in and Ive already got your Program in the garage just let me know which it is.
If youve got a new or better program, you know the drill...

Does anyone care about restrictions on type? I for one dont. I think all the OKEs are well balanced between speed, armour, and firepower.

Any questions concerns, drop a line in the comments, or E-Mail me; Yamabushi98x@yahoo.com.

Lets do this thing

Refresher

2007-04-19T21:52:00.000-07:00

In the wake of the increased traffic around these parts, Ill go over some of the basics again.

First and last; all the tools you need to create a program for me or Senorocho too publish are located in 'Resources' right over there -->
The basic grid, and ALL the chips. there in BMP format, bigger but easier to work with. The grid, just copy and paste up to the size you need. The same with the chips, then just add in the coordinates if necessary. Just look in 'Program Storage' for examples if you need too.

If youve decided to be some kind of crazy person and come up with some other method... well just send it to me and Ill convert it if need be.

There. Done and done.

Oh, and make sure you let us know the vitals of your OKE, might need that...

So...

Some people come out of the woodwork when Big Al says he wants out, but when he says "okay, I'll hang around" you're all silent?

Come on, guys, there's a reason why he wanted to quit in the first place - regardless of how bad things are with accessing a community, there isn't much point to having one where no one seems interested.

Okay, Okay

2007-04-09T21:34:00.000-07:00

Alright, due to the massive (well atleast for his site) response to my declaration of 'retirment'. Ill keep it up and running. Itll be a little slow getting OKEs up in the garage. So you'll have to deal with that.

And, If anybody wants to co-host this show, let me know

Almost Gone.

2007-03-09T14:29:00.000-08:00

Well people, its been fun. but heres the facts;

1. My work blocks me from Blogspot 99% of the time, so I never have the oppurtunity to post stuff.

2. Ill be moving on to the 360 here soon, I will not be keeping my PS2.

Will I one day buy an old PS1 to play my collection of old games? maybe, but dont count on it. One commenter [watson] spoke of a emulator for PCs. Nice to know its out there, I'll probaly look into that. If I come across anything I'll try to post about it here. Or if somebody wants to throw a link our way drop it in the comments.

So, thanks to all who came and contributed, I wish there was more of ya.

Victory OKE

"This OKE is something special. Without visiting the negotiation screen once, this bot was used to complete Callisto."

A bold statement from Mage. But the proofs in the pudding, and its also over in program storage.

Playstation Underground Vol. 1 issue 1

I dont know how to get it, where to get it, or even where to start looking (forget E-bay). Mines long gone. But luckily Ive saved (on 3 different memory cards) the only thing worth saving on these discs.
The Carnage Heart development teams OKE designs. Which range from the ridiculous (Bowler) to the unbeatable (Ironman mkII). The one thing I do miss from the disc is the team members explanations and descriptions of thier OKEs and how they had thier 3 OKE teams set up. Unfortunately the rules apply to all of us, developers included, so you still get stuck with the 3 pre-programmed prowlers. So start looking people, Ill take 1.

Mage checks in with his Prowler/2 legged OKE program. And goes old school with the type font. Enjoy.

This mech can be used in groups of 3 identical mechs,
it actually works best that way. The radio chips are
used to let all bots know when one of them is in close
quarters with the enemy, sending a red signal causing
all of them to switch to missiles. If one or more
bots is out of range of the enemy the channel is
shortly sent back to green. This can cause it to
switch back and forth which is fine, when all bots are
in range it stays red and generally floods the enemy
with rockets at close range. Rockets that cause heat
damage are best with this mech for obvious reasons.
It's fun to watch too. :D

Bert da Troll, aka Lynn checks in with not 1, but 2 programs!

"here's some programs I'm currently using in the Callisto
campaign. I noticed that way back in February Wrath0110 was trying
to develop a bomber program. Well, here's my take on one. I've also
included an assault flier program that goes along with it. These 2
fliers should be teamed up with a heavy ground-based hitter like a 4-
leg or tank to occupy the enemy while the fliers advance. I almost
never use 3 of the same OKE in a team. The assault flier goes around
to the left for a few seconds then starts attacking the enemy. The
bomber goes right for quite a while until it (hopefully) ends up
behind the enemy where it begins its attack. Note that the evasion
routine in these keep them moving quite a bit and actually moves them
closer while evading. Eventually the fliers occupy the enemy and
allow the ground unit pretty much free reign."

Both her programs , as always, are available in Program Storage.

Games? what games

2006-08-28T10:28:00.000-07:00

Been moving, remodeling my new house so the ole PS2 hasnt even been plugged in in weeks, so.....

Got a note that Carnage Heart Portable is out in Japan. And if youd think anybody here in the states would care it'd be us at 'da Depot' but youd be wrong. We dont own PSP's and it will never be localized in english. And as I have stated before the PSP is the. Worst. Platform for this game. Ever. Just a bad decision.

Soon....

2006-07-25T16:29:00.000-07:00

So I've been playing Winning Eleven... A lot. but I'll put something up soon, promise.
Any request?

New programs!!

2006-07-06T10:29:00.000-07:00

just posted in Program Storage: my 'wild weasel' tank OKE 'BT-2di T70' . Just toss in a quick 2 chip, 'missile detect' and 'radio out' run, and your set.

And a lost treasure from my old notes, the 'Unknown OKE'. I have no idea what type I programmed this for; either a 2 or 4 leg, or what weapons I used.

New

2006-07-05T14:41:00.000-07:00

Added a table for weapon ranges.
and a macro for spearding out friendly OKE's.

[found my old, old notes from when I 1st got CH]

In the works

2006-06-30T14:20:00.000-07:00

Nearly finished with a specialized Kouger B1 program. Forgot to mark some direction arrows and need to double check some radio chips. That’s right, radio chips.
Designed to fight flying OKEs, its loaded with floating mines, and the radios are used for missile interference.
This was actually designed for use with another Kouger design that used the coolant add-on instead of the interference device. When either coolant equipped Kougers picked up a missile (the tanks worst enemy) they would broadcast to the 1 interference tank, which would in turn start jamming.

A decent design, even against non-flying OKEs. Especially those missile equipped. Rockets? Forget it.

[update: busy weekend, didnt get a chance to sit down with CH, be back wednesday]
