how do you make them? I know you have to change .repro to .sexrepro
but do you have to make them make a tie?

if so how do you get them to go near each other with out them eating each other?

HELP PLZ

a bot download would be nice!!!!

shvarz:
No, just changing .repro to .sexrepro is enough.  The program will find the closest bot and mix the DNA of the two to make an offspring.  The problem is that there is no good algorithm right now for aligning the two DNAs, so that if there are any insertions/deletions, then the offspring is going to be most likely dead.  We are still thinking on the best way to apporach this.

Jez:
According to the wiki;

"Currently this feature has been disabled in versions past 2.4, due to bugs. Plans are inplace to re-enable it when 2.4 is stable, so as to allow horizontal gene transfer. "

Is it still disabled? If not then I will change the wiki entry. I certainly haven't seen a working bot that uses .sexrepro for a long time.  

When it comes to getting two different bot species to get close with out eating each other, by default most bots are very aggressive. You'd need to use chameleon tactics I guess. (Or banzai charges followed by a hurried retreat!)

ahh man
o well back to viruses

Endy:
Pretty sure it's still disabled in the new versions. Thing did have alot of bugs associated with it. It also didn't really mix the dna much, and when it did it would do it in a largely detrimental way.

If you're using viruses, you need to give the plants the gene deletion dna like The One uses. Otherwise the plants will gain animal dna and either start hunting down your bots or will become conspecs.

Also need to keep dna length to some max 30 worked pretty well for me.
