Did you ever get a sim running griz? A hint: Veggies are not supposed to swell up like pregnant beached whales in the first 4 seconds of the sim. They're supoosed to be relatively the same size as the rest of the bots.


had to uninstall to get my computer back to working as it should ...
even rebooting left it barely limping along.
haven't reinstalled yet.
am wondering if it isn't a good idea to go ahead and let in do so
in the C:ProgramFiles ...
I usually try to minimize installing to the C: drive and use other partitions.
any thoughts on this?
any problems you know of?

as for the settings:
no clue as to how the veggies did that ...
I have not been able to edit at all without a runtime error ...
so I did no changes.
how-some-ever ...
I see now that I can do the intitial setup in default.set ...
and edit/alter that with notepad to adjust the settings outside
of the program if that's what it takes to get it to run initially.
whatever works.

are the graphs and robot info dropdowns functioning in 2.4?
I get no graphics for the graphs or the robot activations, etc.

ok ...
will get back to you if I still have problems.

an aside:

I know this 'small case' no caps thing bugs you ...
sorry ... (not really)  ;) ...
but about two years ago I started to lose feeling and control
of two fingers on my left hand ...
first noticing it because of missed capitals ...
and having trouble playing guitar, etc.
neuropathy ... it comes and goes ...
so I just got in the habit of not worrying about it as it really
slows down my typing/writing/train of thought ...
and I just adapted it into' my 'style' of writing ...
which you may have noted is not very conventional.
goes with the territory of being  a rebel and nonconformist
this isn't tech report writing or programming ...
this is just fun and more of an art thing ...
this is how I play and jam ...
for fun.
 
AND ...
imo ... if someone doesn't understand what I mean ...
or misinterprets the content/essence of what I say ...
just because  don't use capatals ...
or they don't 'appove' of my puncuation or lack of ...
they are indeed pedantic and that is their problem.  :P

after all ...
one should beware of confusing the menu for the meal ...
or the map for the territory. ;)
as long as one 'gets' the gist of what I am communicating ...
(and I don't have much of a problem communicating as I
am in fact a technical report/procedure writer by profession ...
where I do have to conform to certain standards) ...
the rest is of no consequence.
at least not to me.

of course ...
your mileage may vary. ;)

'nuff said.

PY: But then again, if anybody wants a nice friendly, scientifically based debate about the subject then I would be all for it.


PY ...
You may find this of interest:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster
or not. ;)
This debate on Intellegent Design/Evolution is actually taking place here
in the US as we speak ...
and the FSM point-of-view meets the requirement for being part of an
intellegent design, and while born as satire ... is forcing those proponents
of ID to include it.
Bobby Henderson did indeed submit this open letter to  the Kansas Board
of Education ... http://www.venganza.org/

Wikipedia resisted having this be part of their site ...
as they are nearly as pedantic as you and Num ... :lol: ...
but the users overwelmingly voted to include it as it is indeed part of
a very real cultural event taking place right now (11 Oct 05) ...
and part of a very important debate here in the USA.

Check it out.

We got enough shrinks in here...


:sleep:

kids these daze! !  :lol:

suggestion:
taking yourself too seriously is a disease ...
the antidote is authenticity and having a sense of humor ...
you should consider giving that a test run sometime.

added a note to the wiki Troubleshooting file:
if one downloads default.set from the link you provided ...
the path is: "Z:\DB Backup\DarwinBotsII\Robots"
and as I found ... that will indeed result in an error.
so one needs to alter that path to the folder where
they have installed DB.
you may want to change that in the file offered for download.   Troubleshooting 

actually ...
wouldn't line 8 in "default.set" work if instead of "Z:\DB Backup\DarwinBotsII\Robots"
or "C:\Program Files\DarwinBotsII\Robots" ...
it was simply: "&#\Robots" ???
and would then work regardless of where someone installed the program?

I'll let you change that if so ...
as I'm just guessing.

this is of course basic/simple for all you programmer geeks ...
but for those of us less schooled/skilled/pedantic ...
we don't need to be led farther astray.  ;)

ah ... a capatalist, eh?
some childhood trauma?
how you were/were not toilet trained no doubt. ;) lol
 
do whatever increases your comfort level my man ...
but don't expect me to change my writing style.  :P

I'm new here ...
still working on getting DarwinBots to actually work
without giving me a runtime error anytime I attempt
to

looks like a great program ...
have been reading the forum and downloading a few bots ...
and the tutorials ...
so I do hope to get these errors sorted out.

we will see.
