Question now becomes a fixo

[Botsareus]

Alright here, running normal IM now (rubbing hands togther in my minds eye)

[Peter]

Well, yea.

The sim in question was actually running in an older version. 2.48.11, restarting the sim caused similar effect after a while. Although just the veggies disappeared this time. No issue in 2.48.13.

[Botsareus]

Ah good, thx for the update Peter.

Btw, I think it is safe to rename Einstein into "Enstain Quickdraw" because Einstein is a pain in the ass to spell. Not related to the real person though, I think it is a good thing it is hard to spell.

edit: I hate it it when my mind stops me from finishing a point. I do think Einstein is very cool, that is why I think he deserves a name that is hard to spell. Sorry for confusion. Also, Billy, I think your robo is cool too. Your NN bot will kick Shadowgods version w/o mutations both at any time of the year. (Sorry, Shadow)

Here, try my mode.  http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php/topic,6504.0.html
Put any initial robot you want in it. Make it as crazy as possible.

I tried earlier, but I get a file not found crash when trying to run it here on Linux. Will report more details when I can.

Restarter.exe is the culprit. It reserve a command line from db that lets it know the full path to the the db exe itself. Then it systematically shuts down the copy of PeterIM from that folder, and, the exe itself. Then, it loads up a fresh copy of db.exe. The only person I know who figured out how to make it work is Testlund, you can ask him when he is in a good mood.

Thanks.

Sorry, but what does NN stand for?

DB completely froze for me when I double-clicked on a bot. Have to re-start.

Edit: This happens everytime I double-click on a bot. I'll send you a bug report later. Now I'll just avoid double-clicking cause I want to run in IM for awhile.

I'd actually mentioned this problem to Botsareus. It has happened to me once now on 2 different computers.

You click the bot when you just start IM and instead of the menu popping up with the data, it comes up blank, and the program freezes.

Now you can unfreeze it by clicking the X in the top right, then clicking cancel. At least that works for me It also doesn't seem to happen after I do that, it's a once per sim kind of bug.

I also had einstein take over my sim until lionfish showed up.

So that may be why you get a constant stream of lionfish, it's my bad, I like to leave the sim on for hours unattended and come back to view what kind of mess I've caused

[Botsareus]

Testlund I put it in good old European/Russian for you: shit is weird. Do not know what else to tell you. Sorry.

[Botsareus]

Billy, NN for Neural Network.

[Botsareus]

Testlund, as said, I never seen this happen to my simulations before.

[vrukt]

Also only seems to happen with a fresh sim botsareus, if I load up an old one it doesn't happen.

It's a fresh sim, first click, occurrence.

[Botsareus]

See if you can recreate it from vb6.

[Botsareus]

I will have to play with it eventually myself, I just got simple non-CPU-intensive ideas from Shvarz to put in. Let me add that DB is no longer a top priority at this point for me.

[Botsareus]

Fun days. I thought the 7th post from the top was from Testlund.
