Bot Transition- 2.37.6 to 2.43

<< < (4/7) > >>

--- Quote from: strangers ---I ran it in 2.43 with the counter, and all references to it removed, it still lost. Than I ran it 2.37.6, and it worked just the same, so me thinks it may be superfluous,

Strange, worked for me 3 times with just the def counter removed.  

--- Quote ---EDIT: It's not any problem on my end at all, it's just D. Eraticatorus' virus, I examined it's genome and the utilized it's command for not being infected by it's own virus. And wouldn't you know, boom, beats it in nearly 10 seconds a round. I just need a better virus defense.
P.S.
It'd be cheating to use that "technique" in the leagues wouldn't it?

Rofl. No
Din2 is a virus bot as well...

Numsgil:
The only way to "cheat" in the leagues is to use a tactic that is obviously bugged and unbalanced.  Such as finding a way to extract nrg from nothing, or exceeding the bounds of some sysvar.  Or using delgene as an attack outside of viruses.  It's supposed to work so you can only manipulate delgene from inside the genome, but it could be bugged.

--- Quote from: Jez ---An example of what I suggested: (Using the bot you posted after I made the refeye and counter suggestion and DB2.43).

Remove ‘Def counter’;
Test 1
Beats D Eraticatorus over 70 rounds but lost to Din2
Test 2
Beats D Eraticatorus over ~15 rounds but lost to Din2  

The logical conclusion from this is that the counter system you are using handicaps your bot. (Your latest bot edit gives (1 test) much the same result with that change btw).

I’ll have another look at the code and see if I can figure out why counter is causing this problem.

Apperently, the differences in are tests were that while you only removed def counter, I removed every instance of .counter from the genome. Apparently, their may well be an actual counter sysvar based on this information, but I should wait for more evidence before I draw any conclusions.

And even then your bot will still get entered! The league bots, particuarly in F1, have a long history of exploiting bugs. Releasing a bot that went to the top of the league and seeing if anyone could spot the new bug you had found and exploited used to be a favourite trick.

To quote PY on the subject...

"Rules?
What rules?
There are no rules here!
Anything goes in F1 so
Bring it!"

Nowadays of course it's a bit harder, bugs have a tendency to be fixed in a very short space of time.  

strangers:
Well I checked the ingame dna, and their is no counter sysvar, now one question remains, why does act retarded when all instances of counter are removed?
