The 'Born' counter

<< < (2/3) > >>

Numsgil:
I'm basically finishing up the tie routines now.  Once those are done in a couple days the program's core features will be "in place".  The step after is to get the program to actually run for longer than a few thousand cycles

The stats should round trip when TmpOpts gets put back into SimOpts.  I'll take a look and see what's goign on...

AND the 'Time running' resets to 0. AND it's not accurate.

I can't seem to reproduce the born counter reset problem.  This happens for you when you hit change on the options dialog, yes?

I also can't seem to reproduce the time running reset.  Yes, the time count itself is notoriously inaccurate and has to do with the way the seconds timer events are handled - way to much stuff is being done inside the event handler - including autosaves and internet organism transfers!!!! - which throws the time off.  I know how to fix this, but it's a little invovled and requires some re-acrhitecture (adding another timer that which handles periodic stuff liek transfers and saves and taking all that stuff out of the seconds event handler).

But the reset to 0 in born and time running is a different issue and shoudl not be happening.  I can't seem to make it happen on my code.  Does it happen on any sim?

Testlund:
Looks like it doesn't happend that way all the time. I just checked and the born counter didn't change this time, but the time counter jumped back a little, 1 min or so. Personally it doesn't bother me that much. Just thought I whould mension it in case it is easily fixed.

EricL:
I did fix a cycles counter bug in this area in 2.42.2.  I'll poke around a little.  Any specifics you can give me much appreciated.  Does the period of going back in time corrospond with the period of time the options dialog is open for example?
