Winners and losers update on league progress
« on: December 03, 2006, 07:48:13 AM »
I can't reply to that thread now guys

Thanks for your suggestions, I thought it was a bit strange losing all the bots like that. Is there a way to switch waste off? I'll have a look and see, don't want the league bots to be handicapped like that.

In general tab on the left set waste threshold to 0, Does it not automatically set to 0 when you tick F1 contest conditions in restart and league?

Apparently not, I haven't got round to checking yet though.  

EDIT

Mine was set to -1  

Eric! Could you lock the other settings as well if you hit the F1 league conditions tick? Things like max vel, collision elasticity, fluid resistance. Anything that can be changed really that isn't locked when F1 league conditions are meant to apply. Unless they already are but just not showing it...

Now I'm confused;

Waste keeps setting itself at -1 when I run a bot using F1 conditions. Maybe it is locked then, there are about 112 different nifty settings though and I don't have a clue what is causing those 'loser' bots to pop v veg's. It's going to be something I changed in the past I bet.
Methinks the league will wait for another buddy drop when all the settings are defaulted by the F1 tick. Otherwise we will never be sure people are running the leagues on the same playground.

Sorry to throw more work your way Eric...

You mean I might not of been slaughtered?  

Jez, couldn't you just keep moving the topic back and forth, like you could move it back to a forum you could post on and then move it back instead of creating multiple topics?

It was going to be pretty much one topic Kage, unfortunately the original posts I made got moved by someone else to a bit of the forum I can't post on. It'll get sorted sooner or later and then it'll all be in one place rather than the mess I'm making of the forum atm.

By those nasty, nasty vegtables? Yes. There are so many new settings that until I know the F1 default for them I simply won't know. Seeing as most the old bots should still be compatible, specially under league settings, we'll just have to wait and see...

I know that's what it says, what it means is I'm a moderator for the challenges league...

I can't start topics or reply to posts in any of the other leagues and have no need to moderate anything in the challenge bit, that's Elite's dept!

I would be happy to add any setting specifics to the F1 default.  Someone other than myself however (I.e. someone more familiar with what F1 is supposed to be like) should determine what those settings should be however.
Many beers....

Thanks fella,

I guess the best person to ask would be PY, otherwise the other league mods, Light or Henk might be able to help.

Because I was away from DB for a while I have no idea.  

EDIT

Oooh, I got promoted! Ty somebody!!

Well these are the original settings from 2.37

    * Field size 9237 X 6928. If you can't figure out how to get this (non standard size), just click the "Restart and Leagues" tab from the options window then check the "Use F1 conditions" box. If you don't want to run the leagues, simply uncheck it again and the size setting will stay the same.
    * Veggie feeding rate = 40 (default set by F1 mode)
    * Maximum veggies = 25 (default set by F1 mode)
    * Respawn veggies = 10 (default set by F1 mode)
    * Kill distant Vaggies = OFF
    * Corpses = OFF
    * Pond mode = OFF
    * Day Night cycles = OFF
    * Bouyancy = OFF
    * Friction = 3
    * Gravity = zero
    * Brownian Motion = zero
    * Mutations = ALL Disabled
    * Internet sharing = OFF

I guess just need to figure out what other features have been added that need defining
