Bot with unknown parent. RESLOVED 2.43N

(1/3) > >>

Testlund:
How can a bot with the age of 46566 cycles 'be coming from unknown' when the sim has been running for 620737 cycles. It must be a child from another bot. Does the program lose track of the generations I wonder? I'm not using internet mode.

EricL:
No teleporters at all, ever?  And it's not a repopulated veggy I assume.

Hmmm.  Post it if you could and I'll take a look.

Testlund:
I do run two instances of sims connected with 3 teleporters, but the veggies in this (the right) aren't coming from the left one. I don't have this species in the left one. They all seem to have unknown parents. The teleporters only goes one way, from left to right, unless backflow means they can go back. Also I noticed the teleporters sometimes drag along autotrophs from my left sim to the right despite I have autotrophs unchecked in the teleporters, but those are just NRG providers, no alive bots so to speak.

By the way, do you think you can make it so teleporters are saved in the sim?

EricL:
If a non-veggy is tied to a veggy and the non-veggy hits the teleporter, then I will drag the veggy through the teleporter even if the non veggy filter is on.  The multibot logic for teleportation isn't smart enough to filter out the veggies from multibot masses.  I'll fix this.  Veggy cells should be stripped out if the no veggy filter is on.

Teleporters should be saved in sims already.  It's possible I broke this when I added code to strip the Interent teleporter out of a loaded sim.  The Internet teleporter is special.  Loading a sim should not put you into Internet mode even if it was saved as such.  Internet mode is very deliberatly something you have to switch into manually.   I'll check this and make sure non-internet teleporters load and save correctly.

I'll check out the sim.

EricL:
Ah.  The "Coming From" thing you see in the bot properties dialog isn't a parent-offspring thing.  Its the name of the sim where the bot last resided, only really usefull in internet mode.  You can see that the bots do indeed have a parent ID, which is the unique ID of their parent.

I should probably "Unknown" to "Local" or similar.
