League Problems

Griz:
ah ...
I see now what you are talking about with the '_' thang, Jez ...
all my old Robot files use the underline rather than spaces ...
while you seem to have eliminated that in the bot's names
for those in the Leagues.
so ... is that the plan then ...
to no longer use '_' in bot names, but spaces?
as long as we are consistant, eh?
are there no problems that crop up having spaces in the names ...
say like a long name file such as
Darth Shimazu (F1)(Henk)-pre 30.07.04.txt
being listed as Darth Sh~.04.txt or some such thing?
just wondering how this all came about.
Jez:
That is indeed my plan Griz,
Call me a bot registrar or just anal.
It is a sort of template I developed for the bots; I have done something like this before, when I rescued all the posted bots from the first three? forums. Unfortunately, because I took a year+ break things didn't stay the same.
The idea was to give as much info in the bots name as was needed, more now than was then, sort of like the latin names for plants etc. A universally agreed classification.
Originally it was just the date that the bot was posted that was added to the name. But with me back now and having been given mod privelege's I hope to include author and class as well to all bots in the bestiary.
I know you have noticed the extra information this gives because you were questioning the classification for bots in the F1 league, something that wasn't immediately obvious originally. I hope you find the new naming system at least cursory helpful.
Part of the new naming system has meant the underlines _ have become spaces. This caused some (temporary) problems in the F1 and F2 leagues but hopefully I was a little more exact with the other leagues!
The downloads I provided for the leagues should work ok, if not then when I can re-run the leagues without bugs then the new downloads should work perfectly.
Eventually there will be downloads for each section of the bestiary as well so yoiu can easily obtain all the renamed bots.

yes ... all for as much info as possible.
of course there was nothing to keep folks from
making this info part of the bot text right up top ...
commenting out the data ...
which some people did, along with a short description
of some special features the bot might possess.
this is still a good idea, imo.

so far, so good ... or at least I haven't noticed any problems with the names.

cool. all of this will simplify things for the new user.
many of the long time users take much for granted
as they were 'in on it' ... aware of the changes as
they were developed and implemented.
but this 'tribal knowledge' ...
is unknown to new folks just coming in ...
so I think we do need to make an effort to keep the
learning curve 'less steep' wherever we can ...
so peeps don't become discouraged just trying to
get started.
keeping DB adaptable/vialble makes it a complicated program.
so ... much thanks for doing so with leagues.
and to eric and all who spend so much time trying
to make this thing work.
it's got to be a work of love, eh?
Griz:
Version 2.42.9r ...
compiled version.
F1 Leagues
attempted to rerun the league ...
things went along well for quite awhile until it came to
the contest between Virulus Discretus and Virulus Spinnens ...
which apparently both died out in the same cycle ...
DB ending up in some loop it couldn't get out of ...
leaving me no choice but to Ctrl/Alt/Delete and stop the task.
so, no error message or anything.
also noted that in earier matches, clicking the InstaWin ...
even when taking great care to click as fast as possible ...
the Wins would often be upgraded by 2, not just 1.
fyi ...
the standings up to that point were as follows:
1 - Callidus (F1Vir)(Shen)-05.04.05
2 - The One (1G)(Shen)-23.04.05
3 - DIN (F1)(Endy(Mod))-21.02.05
4 - Dominator Invincibalis(DOM INV) (F1)(PY)-pre 18.06.04
5 - Destinatus Preliator (F2)(PY)-16.09.04
6 - Darth Shimazu (F1)(Henk)-pre 30.07.04
7 - Spanish Conquistador (6GVir)(Numsgil)-12.05.05
8 - Animal Supremus (F1Vir)(Elite(Mod))-22.01.06
9 - DIN2 (F1)(Endy(Mod))-02.04.05
10- James 4 (F1)(Jez)-27.07.04
11- Duplo Simpleboticus (F2)(Jez&PY)-01.03.04
12 - Carnatus Orbis (F1)(PY)-20.09.04
13- HDV4 (F1)(PY)-pre 30.07.04
14 - Kyushu (F1)(Henk)-08.05.06
15 - UNA 3.0 (1G)(Elite)-29.04.06
16- Virulus Discretus (F1)(Flowin)-02.03.04
17- Virulus Spinnens (F1)(Flowin)-01.03.04
I've saved these, seeing as DB doesn't seem to save/update
the leaguefile unless the entire league gets run ...
so I have to start over every time.
I don't know that anyone's made it thru the whole thing yet
to get a final ranking.
so for now I'm making three leagues ...
the top 10 here in F1A ...
#11-#20 and #21-#30 in two more ...
in an effort to at least get thru them and see if everything is
saved correctly when a league completes.
then I'll have to run some challenges ...
#21 challenging the 20-11 league ...
then #11 challenging the top 10 ...
to see if any of them are able to work their way up.
that's the plan for now.
