Ok well I just installed VB6 (enterprice version) in a virtualized XP client, I will work (Sadly) on an older software version, since 2.44 seams to be not shared. Once this got solved futher then it should be adapted I gues into a next version which also includes the 2.44 improvements.
If I solve this ofcourse code will be published


Importent question, are there any people who I might ask some questions about the source code?.
Or is no one left from the original coders.
I'd also like to know as a first question what was improved by 2.44
(altough earlier versions got this problem too), anyone who can point me in a direction like "you might take a look there... xxxx.bas lines xxxx that would be realy helpfull. Cause I dont no anything about it yet (dough that will change over time).

I'm not doing any other sugestions (yet), perhaps later. This is a first atempt to code and to solve this problem of viruses who change DNA length of a bot resulting in  VB6 Arrays who got locked.
This has been going on for quite a while, so I dont think it would be an easy one, any help in this direction would be great.

Numsgil:
I'm the only one left, and it's been a few years since I was in the source.  Eric kept pretty extensive change logs in forum postings.  Look through any topics he wrote in the bugs and fixes forum and see if you can find his changelogs.

Okay... its al a bit confusing now..

I compiled a (new?) version, it seams to be more stable (the didnt crash)
Once I got a memory error, dough the sim continoud after it (wow..)
Its based on a compilation of     http://opensvn.csie.org/DarwinbotsVB/

Its the only VB source code I could find.

That main webpage there reads revesion 5... > 2.5 ???



I'm not sure, I compiled but in the compilation I enabled array checking (since I had that bug)..
And well it seams more stable. The virus dont causes problems. Was this version never released?.
But  why is this version only 1.752K in size / while version 2.44 is 9.381K in size ?.  
The size difference is huge, thats strange since this one seams to be working fine.
Dough it maybe is verry old? (looking at help about says 2.43 ??, dough that might not reflect it properly)
Also 2.43L and M are ~9k in size while this one is ~2K in size.
Or is my compiler better, I'm using eneterprice version of VB6, not standard version.

Maybe someone can tell me if this is a very old version just by testing
Or that it is recently dough not 2.44. (2.44 I know sourcecode unavailable)


Well I'll attach it

Note in the compiler I can also tune some parts, if people like it, (if it is indeed recently)
 I'll upload other tuned version later. (like favor Pentium Pro based)

The best way to go would be to get as many people as possible working on DB3, with only one or two maintaining DB2. I should have free capabilities to work on DB3 by the end of this week, not too keen on learning VB, might as well stick with C#. The DB3 branch will implement new features, DB2 just fixing old bugs for now. The problem now is finding people who are willing to work on these, and all this is easier said than done, so back to the main discussion...

thats not realy an answer to my qeustions.... and I do try to fix

DB3 will be in C, I'm not so good in C, so I'll like to fix this one.



The main qeustion is does anyone recognize this version ?
or was it never released / compiled ?
- some parts seamed to be more advanced then 2.44 (see the FTP upload part without vegies)
- while other parts (populatoin graph's dont show numbers) seam to be of older version.
- It seams more stable then 2.44 (in regard to viruses with sexrepro)
And if you might  know what was the big change from 1.2K to a whooping 9K in 2.44 (different compilers?)
