Post by: White Bear on March 05, 2009, 03:40:10 PM
Error:
Run-time error '380'
Invalid property value.

Recreation:
Start new simulation.
Add a new species then delete it.
The deleted one needs to be the last one in the list.

Hey, welcome to the forums. 2.44.1 is actually not very stable and no one is currently around to fix the bugs. I would recommend using 2.43.1L (http://www.darwinbots.com/FTP/Darwin2.43.1L.zip).

Yeah, the program's a bit in limbo at the moment.  We need someone to spend the time fixing bugs like this, but there's no one (well, me I guess.  But I don't want to )

Workaround:
Before deleting last species in list, rename it to something like "a" or "0"

I've been ignoring the bugs, but I'll try the older version now.

Perhaps I could just peek at the code and fix some stuff. Visual basic doesn't sound hard. This isn't my computer, so I can't install Visual C#, but it already has VB 6.0. Hmmm... might as well peek.

Yes, this is just one of the many bugs in 2.44.1, but if you can get it set up and fix the problems, then by all means, please do!

I myself am unable to use VB6.0 because it refuses to install on my computer.  If you do get the chance to work on it, perhaps you could fix the little glitch where buttons don't stay pressed/unpressed when they should.  It really makes things confusing when you can't tell what is activated

Yes, if you have the desire please feel free to peek at the source code.  There isn't a primary maintainer for it at the moment, so it's sort of in a state of limbo and really needs some TLC.
