Bugs in NEW 2.4!

<< < (17/17)

PurpleYouko:
Multi-bots really don't work so well in 2.4 yet. A bunch of stuff simply isn't implemented yet and others kinda just  uh, how can I put this? Don't work!  :D

Stick with 2.36 or 2.37 to get an idea of what is possible in the game. 2.4 will kick ass when it's finished but there's a way to go yet.

Numsgil:
I'm actually porting 2.4 to C++ right now, and uncovering all sorts of bugs and things that could be done better along the way.

Older bots don't work well in newer versions.  Try something safe and simple as a "does my program work at all" bot.  Animal Minimalis is a good choice.  He's in the beastiary.

Numsgil:

--- Quote ---Hello! Discovered the following in version 2.4 Alpha. First a crash that caused the following error message: 'Error. Division by zero. Saving sim in saves directory as
error.sim'.

Then I found out that lots of settings don't get saved when I try to save my settings. Don't know if it's a bug or if it just haven't been implemented. Also I found that sometimes the day/night cycles don't change as they have been set.

It also looks like the simulations all acts the same. I've tried simulations with the Triangularis bot and nomatter how many I start with allmost everyone dies until there is just a few of them left. That's what the number says anyway, though that seems like it doesn't give the right information. Most of the time I end up with a bundle of bots spinning at a fixed location while the 'Total bots' indicator only shows a few bots, like 2 or 4. Uaaaah! I want this program to work!! Sob-sob.  :(

Zip and add the error.sim as an attachment or mail it to me at Numsgil2002@yahoo.com.

Dollars to donuts you have your nrg/cycle that vegs get too high.  It's in the second panel in options.  Near the upper right hand corner.  It should be set to like 3 or 10 or something like that.  I bet you have it set to 1000000.

This is because what that value represents has changed over the development of the sim, so if you're doing 2.1 settings files, you're going to get really weird errors.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check.  Provide a screenshot if you wish that shows the second panel in options.

The settings should all save correctly if you're using 2.4.0.  If you're using 2.4.Beta, then not all will save correctly.

Testlund:
1000000 = The veggie got a vitamin injection until it exploded

0 = The veggie was put in a black box with distilled water.

 :P

Numsgil:
I'll probably just make it so that the sim saves the nrg/cycle thing to another spot in the settings file.  Every new user seems to have trouble on this point.  I don't even know how many get disgusted and give up.
