Title: multiple IMs?
Post by: happyhamsterchan on May 16, 2010, 09:42:34 AM
So, guys, I threw in ffs cuz it said "F1 IM", but now my computer runs at an avg of 0 cycles per second. Could we make another IM? maybe an f3 IM for me sporebot and stuff, and an F2 for the pigs? It shouldnt be too difficult with the im hack, amirite?

The problem is it's hard to prevent contamination, even on accident.

How much energy are you feeding into your sim?  If you have too many bots just decrease the energy going in (or increase costs) until you reach a level you're happy with.

mere teleportation is enough to slow down my computer... it'll teleport in like, alot of bots in, like, a little amount of time.

How many bots?  And does it resume nicely when the teleportation is over?

I think it would be a great idea. F2 mode would just be a new version of the hack which doesn't teleport bots with .sharenrg or .mkmirus in their dna.

if somebody could explain .dbo format to me, I'd be happy to at least try this.

It's pretty hacked.  Check out the VB source code, in (HDRoutines.vb I think.  Or something like that).
