Installing PyBot

  1. Extract this entire zip file to your DarwinBotsII folder. PyBot.bat and the PyBot folder go in the same folder as the Darwin Bots exe. You need a version of Python installed, and if you don't have python 2.5 installed to c:\python25, you'll need to change PyBot.bat and touchall.bat to call python in your python folder.
  2. There are include sample .pyr files in two places: /PyBotRobots, which are actual robot scripts I made, and /PyBot/Robots, which were mostly test scripts which were used to test pybot to make sure it was outputting what it was supposed to be. You can also read the manual (which is Manual.html in the PyBot folder).
  3. You can write some .pyr bots of your own and stick 'em in the DarwinBots 'Robots' folder (the same folder that DarwinBots normally reads robots from - not where you find the example robot scripts).
  4. Run PyBot.Bat to compile your .pyr scripts into .txt bot scripts. You can also run touchall.bat to 'touch' all the .pyr files in your bots folder, updating their timestamp to the current time - this means that the next time you run PyBot, it will recompile every .pyr file in your bots folder.
