Peter:
--- Quote from: EricL ---Okay, I just read your PM. So, you open the costs dialog, change the cost multiplier to something non-zero, close the dialog, save changes and then open it again and it's 0, right.

I may have said it but this could have to do woth the regional settings.
Doe this appear everytime you change a number in the costs panel then.
Open in control panel(or whatever it is in yourlanguege)
open regional settings(or country settings or anything)
change the decimal format.
a ',' into a '.' without the ''.
--- Quote from: Numsgil ---For some guidelines, we should say that posts without a sim (zipped for size) attached are assumed to be a new user having difficulty with a feature (ie: the 'fix' in 'bugs & fixes). It's not the program's fault, it's the posters, and they're blaming it on the program because they're frustrated.

I haven't seen many questions about the program here. Questons about the program mostly are into another place, if that's what you mean.
But yes I am pretty new, I am having right now problems. I am a little frustrated(could also have to do with the fact I am feelinh a little ill.). And I am blaming the program, yes, I am blaming the program it crashes, yes. But I know it may happen it is a beta-version.
--- Quote ---UI bugs, which are impossible to reproduce, should probably be handled with remote assistance. That way you can see the bug happening yourself. Most XP computers have this come standard. Users that don't want to do remote assistance (even though it's totally safe) fall in the same category as users without sims: they're new and don't understand a feature.

That could be something to do, yes good idea.
edit :heh new posts.
--- Quote ---I welcome all bug reports. I look at everything. I spend more time explaining things (patiently) to new users than anybody does (these days). I have no problems with new users filing incomplete bugs which end up by design. If nothing else, it points out where the program is confusing and should be improved and I'd rather investigate 100 bugs that end up being by design than miss one real one.

Ok, I have posted one or two design bugs. Is that so bad. I will try to post less design bugs.

--- Quote from: Welwordion ---Well ... what the hell has the sim to do with, the options resetting themself?
I mean I do not understand much about the inner workings of the software, so I did not even think attaching a sim file would have been any use for you in this case.
--- End quote ---
For one thing, it lets me check whether the bug is real or whether it's user error, people misundertanding the UI, etc. All the options get saved in the sim file. It lets me see the circumnstances of the bug. The number and kinds of bots, the type of sim (are they using pond mode or planet eaters?) that kind of thing. There may be a specific combination of settings causing a problem or the settings may be correct but there may a problem with displaying the actaul underlying values (setting slider values, radio buttons, etc). There's a million things bugs could be and the sim is the place to start. The sims gives me something to go on.
Welwordion:
Ok first are there any other programms that could monitor darwinbots?
Second what would remote assitance exactly do, how and what data?
Third when you people talk about regional settings, do you refer to an option in darwinbots or of windows?
And when you speak of control panel I did not know what you were referring to?
(I searched around and I think I found what was meant, sorry have a tendency to speak questions and search for an answer afterwards ^^)

Depends on what you mean by "monitor". The short answer is no.
--- Quote from: Welwordion ---Second what would remote assitance exactly do, how and what data?

It lets someone like me or Nums "take over" your computer remotely over the internet. See the screen, run programs, move the mouse, etc. like we are sitting there in front of it. It's a nice idea we should explore but in practice can be problematic. I'd prefer compelte bug reports for now.
--- Quote from: Welwordion ---Third when you people talk about regional settings, do you refer to an option in darwinbots or of windows?

Windows. It's the setting in Windows that tells programs amougn other things how to format numbers, use commas or periods for decimal points, etc.
--- Quote from: Welwordion ---And when you speak of control panel I did not know what you were referring to?
--- End quote ---
The Windows contol panel.
Welwordion:
The values is not Zero but it resets to the given value. sim attached.
