The F1 League lives again!

I used the league function to run SS. It works in d. I just tested the league function in e. It also works fine.
For the sake of formality and consistency of results, I insist that you use the league function. If you're having problems, I can probably help you get past them.
EricL:
I will be working on the bugs above...
Numsgil:
I let the F1 league run over night (rerunning the current F1 table). A lot of bots are changing positions. Guardian dropped way down. Just two spots above my ancient Spanish Conquistador. Excalibur seems to be the current champ... So the current rankings are mostly bogus. I think we should probably make a huge list of every bot in the beastiary (a huge undertaking to be sure), and run them ALL in chronological order. I have some spare computers. Eric, if you could make DB command line drivable, so I could run extended league matches using a batch file or something, I could probably run an automatic league. People could just log in to my computer and upload their bot, and DB would automatically run the bot in the league.

Already am.
I think I tried running my own league using about 3 or 4 bots last year, and even with every instruction found, I still didn't get it to work. I don't like the way it runs the wins; a draw is declared even if its 1:4 at the end, and the contest is infinitely extended.
Besides, I enjoy doing it; some bots are so outdated they are lucky to survive 100 cycles, and I get to see an interesting variety of bot techniques.
My favourite bot so far is one that stubbornly sits in one position, and very slowly expands to take over the simulation. It almost seems territorial.
DAY 3
-------
Finished running all of Animal Minimaxis 3's fights; final result 48.5 out of a possible 76. I think he will be the minimum standard at entering the league. I was glad to see the only bot to beat it faster than my Occura Amplificis was Martian Tank 3.
2.6% of contests done.
Commander Keen:
I've never had any recurring problems with the league function, although it does seem to be a bit flaky at times, and the way of doing it could be simpler.
I'm running the F2 league, using the DB league "automator", with defenders winning after 10 rounds. Once I've run the league with it's current bots, I'll test all the other F2 bots out there. Haven't had any problems at all. Possibly Bacillus's problems are related to his installation, I can't remember if I gave him the old installer and the new exe, or if I just copy/pasted my DB folder. Also, I think you need the bots to go in the League folder to work. Thats ...(Darwinbots root folder)\Leagues\(LeagueName)
I had problems initially, but I accidentally put my League folder in the robot folder.
We still need volunteers for the MB/SB leagues. I think the SB league is worth running, it's pretty competitive, and I really think MB's need more attention. Multibots are really cool, unfortunately they aren't very efficient.
