Looks like shell level interface bunking out with python but just a guess from my minds eye, how the hell an I going to fix this? We need TomTech, I'll send him a PM.

[Botsareus]

But in general minus the weird shell hiccups (honest answer, I am at capacity right now, and do not want to discover anything new, I am just a pure vb logician after all, it is a fun ride though, I'll give you that) IM WORKS!

[Testlund]

Just thought I should post a screenshot showing the result I got from the sim I've been running the whole night and up till now. Billy's Einstein wins.

I began this sim with my Velocitus bot in Eco Mode. I think it has restarted a couple of times.

Wow, that sim is crawling! I like to feed my sim only just enough to sustain a small population of bots, to keep the CPS up. Mutated Einstein is dominating over here as well, although at one point The One took over for a while.

Billy, NN for Neural Network.

Hmm, so you think Einstein would be considered a neural network?

[Testlund]

Wow, that sim is crawling!

Yes, because of the combination with a lot of bots and shapes not absorbing shots. The latter is a very strong performance issue. So I changed it to make shapes absorb shots. It's just that when it restarts it will switch to shapes NOT absorbing shots.

It's a good idea to have "Dynamic Costs" on when you run in internet mode too. I will do that now.

[Testlund]

So today I started a new sim with my 18 designed bots, let it run for about an hour until I got a population that I thought might have a chance. Then I switched on IM mode. Not surprisingly my bots die out. Why do everybody have to make such vicious bots! Grrr! 

This sim is with my own settings, not running any of the modes in Global Settings. I'll let it run until tomorrow.

I was trying to run last night, but kept getting "Runtime/Error 75" actually I think I got a 5 and a 9 as well.

Restarts worked to solve this issue before, but aren't working now.

In the DarwinBotsIM console?
If so, please give context by c/ping the full error. Here's how. As far I know, works in XP and up.

Mutate and Base are doing well on my "shorter is better" sim. Lionfishes always go extinct on it.

I have a tiny single store bot set to repopulate, to see if it can eventually dominate the dynamic costs battle.

[vrukt]

No I think the IM console was fine when I checked. It's a popup as the simulation freezes.

A bot was causing 75's before, so I was trying to pin it down to a bot this time, and since I was on IM I was wondering if anyone else was getting the issue from a bot jumping in?

I will keep an eye out for your bots macadamia nuts, so far I've just got a ton of the bubbles bot on my screen.

If you open the DNA window for "Mutate" and "Base" it will tell you what the bot is at the top.

Those bots are most likely lucky that I can't get my internet mode working. Then again, the zombie bots are practically bioweapons. Perhaps someone else could put the zombies in? I mean, a zombie Einstein would be pretty powerful.

Hello everyone,

The shapes bug mentioned by Testlund looks interesting to me, I'll take a look. Thx for the find 
Vrukt, error 75, also reported to Testlund, is a known issue. We need to eventually catch it in safemode for me to be able to replicate it easily. The better option will be to replicate it directly from vb, as you have the power to do, I do not at the moment, running experiments that have an overflow that I am trying to capture.
Peter, I can add the list of users to the message box I configured in help menu. That second request is a bit more tricky as I hate named pipes after Ammeh. We can consider writing a file once in a while with info. timers are not too intensive when they are not running code. Please give me a file name I can use and a place to put it. I am thinking the IM out folder is as good as any.

I'll add them. Is it virusparttakeover.txt?
