Sysvars2.21.txt HELP

Hello.

Brand-spanky new to DarwinBots, just downloaded it earlier today. First installed 2.1, then 2.37.6. I'm hoping for some help with an issue I'm having.

Whenever I click on 'File' -> 'New Simulation' I get the message "Cannot locate the variables file (sysvars2.21.txt)". There's links in the wiki to download this file, and some links in this forum, too, but whenever I click on any of them I get the following message:

"Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:
Sorry, some required files are missing, if you intended to view a topic, it's possible that it's been moved or deleted. Please go back and try again."

So, is there any way to actually download this file?

Note: I CAN actually get somewhere with the link in the wiki to the text at http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...alk:Sysvars2.21, but I'm unsure what to do with it. Copy it and paste it somewhere? Does it matter what I call the file I paste it into?

Sorry if this question is ridiculous. Any help appreciated.

PS - I seem to get the same issue when trying to download Ymir as suggested in the "Your Very First Simulation" section of the wiki as well.

Again, any suggestions gratefully welcomed.

We've moved forums semi-recently, and lost all the old uploads from the older forums.  That's the problem you're experiencing.
 
 The sysvars file can just be copied and pasted from the wiki.  Place it in the same directory as your exe, named sysvars2.21.txt  Most Darwinbots related files are in plain text.
 
 You can find Ymir in the beastiary here even if the file to download isn't there (the post containst the text).  Again, just copy and past into a file named Ymir.txt in your Robots directory.
 
 Welcome to Darwinbots   Feel free to ask anything that doesn't make sense.  I'm trying somewhat to smooth out the beginner's experience since I figure for every person who gets stuck and actually asks for help there's probably 10 more that get stuck and give up.

Wow - thanks very much for the quick response!

I actually downloaded version 2.42.5 which contains sysvars2.21.txt. I had some trouble getting 2.42.5 to work, so I just downloaded 2.37.6 again and since I now have sysvars2.21.txt from version 2.42.5, version 2.37.6 works fine.

Whew.

I'm having trouble getting the copy-and-pasting for the text files to work (maybe I have to paste them into something else first before I can paste them into a file?), but I think that's not DarwinBots-related and is just me being pretty ignorant in general and the fact that it's after midnight here and I'm tired.

Thanks again for the fast response. I hope to have lots of fun with this thing once I get comfortable with it...

baphomet:
AH! I paste the texts into NotePad!

I'm slow, but I get there eventually...
