Old species again over new RESOLVED 2.43u

(1/2) > >>

Peter:
If I load a settings file you see the older species keeping in the bot list.
attached sim-file and settings-file I load, after loading I still see the old bots.

EricL:
I'm pretty sure I fixed it in the load sim path.  But I did not touch the load settings path.

I would like to do away with settings files completly and instead implement a "Load Settings From Sim File" option.   Stay tuned for a suggestion to this effect.

Testlund:
I get this too. If I load my first instance with tiebots and then my second instance with chainbots, one of my chainbot species will get the name from one of my tiebot species, both in the species tab and in the sim. Instead of Chainbot243tC it is called Tiebot243tC.

EricL:
I'm tellign you, settings files are a rats nest of problems....  I havn't looked at that code in over a year.

Testlund:
I can't wait to see how your new 'load settings from sim files' feature is going to turn out, because I got pissed off the other night when I ran my sim and found out my Chainbot243tC had been completely replaced by Tiebot243tC, with the chainbot's green color, and turned autotroph too!  

In the mean time I'm testing a work around by backing up a 'lastexit.sim' file for each of my instances. Maybe when that file gets overwritten it doesn't get COMPLETELY overwritten, so data from more than one sim ends up in it. Just my theory though.
