The F1 League lives again!

Oh yeah, I just downloaded version 2.43.1d.  Maybe I should  try that.
Although I do like doing it manually.
Animal Supremeus was able to beat that no-repro bot (Discerpo Inscribo or something like that), which is a relief to know I won't have to wait for ages every time it runs.

There's just no way to run the hundreds of rounds by hand.  You'd go crazy.
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.

Not infinitely.  A bot has to win, IIRC, n/2 + sqrt(n) rounds to be declared the winner, where n is the total numer of rounds.  That formula is based on actual statistical math, though the implementation is rather unscientific (you're supposed to determine a sample size before the experiment.)

Okay, maybe infinitely was a bad use of words.
How about "longer than my patience" or "absurdly time-consuming"?
Uh-oh, I haven't paid attention and now Animal Supremus vs. SWARM 2.0 has advanced to round 16...

New bug: left running a league for like a full day.  Came back and the round is stuck with Martian Tank and DIN both at 0 pop, but no one getting credited with the win for the round.  Instawin buttons do not work either.  Program is otherwise fully responsive.

That should only happen when all rounds have been run; otherwise it works. Check again.

DAY 4
-------
Run all of Animal Supremus and Aura's fights; Animal Supremus 56/76 and Aura 1/76.

Running it just now, I do notice that it crashes if you don't have a league folder.  That's a bug.  It should create all the initial files and folders if none are found.
I can't get this crash to occur.   The code is there already to create the League folder when it does not exist.  Seems to work for me.

After that, I managed to get some bots in the league, but when I tried to save the results, I got an error.  That's bug #2.
This works for me too.

Quote from: Numsgil
The program keeps wanting to stay on top when it's running league matches, which is annoying.  Bug #3.
This is fixed in 2.43.1f

Quote from: Numsgil
(Oh, and not really a bug, but the program trying to parse Guardian more than once is especially annoying.)
I'll see what I can do about this.

Many beers....

Ran first 18 rounds of Blue on Blue, most of the time just worked on Dominis. Probably same today.

That has never occurred to me before; are you positive that you didn't accidentally set it to 3 rounds?

I've seen it.  It's real.  Pretty rare though.  Don't have a solid repro and haven't managed to catch it in the IDE...  yet.
