Grrr, Numsgil! I'm starting to wonder what the problem really is here. Does it work on your computer? Looks like I'm the only one reporting about the problem. The version 2.4.3 acts the same as the other 2.4 versions. The settings don't stay put!!! ..and I still get the 75 run-time error when trying to run a simulation.
no ... you're not the only one ...
SOME of my setting's return when I upload settings or a sim ...
General for the most part, but not physics, such as gravity, or mutations ...
and the 'starting positions' seem to shift on me in Species ...
I like to alter them for aglae along with gravity ...
keeping them in the upper half or confined to one corner ...
which makes for some variation of environment within the window.
also, the uploaded species, when I load a saved sim ...
are not updated in the 'loaded species' box ...
so if I want to edit, I have to also upload my saved settings.
and ... attempting to load other setting or sims ...
that may have been saved with another version ...
almost always results in a runtime error of some sort ...
either a type mismatch or path error or overflow ...
perhps from an older bot ... who can say? ...
there are too many varialble for me to pin it down.
but basically, unless I set up and save the settings and sim FROM
2.43 ... I run into problems when loading in a sim or settings.
and also the insert box doesn't function ...
which I like to make use of in testing a new bot's affect on a stable population/sim ...
and gene activations don't show either, although I have no use for them yet at this point.
and as Num says ... you may have to go tweak the old bots.
I wonder if as folks do that ... we might upload the bots we get to work
into the beastery under 2.43 or something?
meanwhile ... I go back to 2.36 and 2.37 to play so I don't get too frustrated
at the crashes and loss of sims. ;)
