Did you uninstall everything, and install the 2-48-11 package and then install 2.48.16? Sorry for the craziness, me and Peter where debugging. If you still have problems after that, contact Peter. I do not physically manage IM.

There are two separate IM servers at the moment. Protocol got changed between versions. Seems to be a mismatch between server/client.
Old port is 79, new one is 4669. Change the port in internet->server port to 79 or 4669 and it would work.

Thanks, changing to 4669 helped. The program uploaded a bunch, but nothing is coming back, I get "server got not bots" message.

Never mind, i'm getting bots now and then. Most of the time I get "server got no bots", but sometimes bots do come in.

How do you manage the number of bots stored on the server?

And now I'm getting this: http://imgur.com/1n8jCcI

The low activity may be because the I'm only one at this server(and all of my sims got to a slowdown). Most are on the server at port 79.

There aren't a lot of bots at any time on the server. It keeps them in memory till another sim requests bots.

The error. The server send a bot back, but what the client gets is corrupted. The client tries to read it again till it isn't(and that doesn't happen). That's a bug, I'll fix that. In the meantime restarting the im client should stop it.

So, which one should I use - 79 or 4669? It's just a different place to store bots or is there anything else different between the two?

Can we, perhaps, keep a bunch of bots on the server at any given time? Maybe accumulate 1000 bots and then give out one only in exchange for a bot coming in?

Use port 79 for currently popular internet mode and 2-48-11 installer. User port 4669 with experimental internet mode and 2-48-15 installer. Let me know what your choice is. I have enough bug fixing on its way to join you.  :)

4669 will process stats files. i.e. data about your sim will be saved on the server. Which are used to make graphs.

IM graph: http://198.50.150.51:4668/dbim
Random sim: http://198.50.150.51:4668/viewsim/3

And it displays the name from who you got the bot.

I'm thinking about installing version A on one of my computers and version B on the other and test them at the same time. Popular sim mode I guess is the default that's been running. I'm not sure what experimental means yet. Maybe I'll see that when I've installed it.  :)

Testlund, I recently found 3 bugs I think I fixed. Two from IM (hacked to run from vb), and one playing with tidal mode. (This one I know I fixed)  :)

OK, I'll wait until the next drop then.

I still get an invasion of bots on the version I have. :/
