Title: INTERNET MODE FIX (working solution, fairly smooth)
Post by: Ammeh on May 09, 2010, 02:18:32 PM
As of 2.45.00 ignore all the stuff below. Hey, that rhymed.
Just download the newest version, and you are good to go. Check out this post (http://www.darwinbots.com/Forum/index.php/topic,3475.0.html) for more information.
-Shasta

You must be running Darwin2.44.05.exe (http://www.darwinbots.com/FTP/Darwin2.44.05.exe) and it must be called that for the hack to work properly

DarwinbotsIM.exe (http://www.darwinbots.com/FTP/DarwinbotsIM.exe)

Okay dokey, since DB's current Internet mode is a little buggy, me and Shasta wrote up a fix with the help of the nice people on irc (which you should totally check out btw).

Basically, what you need to do is set up your sim, then go to Objects -> Teleporters -> new teleporter.

Create an inbound and an outbound pointing to C:\dbtransfers\inbound and C:\dbtransfers\outbound respectively (These folders must exist. You can change them to something different if you want, so long as the hack points to the correct folders).

Okay, you should now have two teleporters floating around your sim. Now run the DarwinbotsIM.exe, make sure that the inbound/outbound paths match, set a nickname, and choose the right PID in the selector (it should be filled automatically) and click "Start".

That's it, you should now have relatively glitchless internet mode.

Due to the compression now being used, the Darwinbots normal IM mode no longer works.

Have you even made any battlebots?

Yup I tried it too, it works everyone, it lets you have more control over the teleporters to, and runs way smother

I can't get it to work, my antivirus software keeps trying to eat it.

What antivirus you got? or... maybe it DOES have a keylogger!

I will just say I'm surprised you can type with one hand.

edit: hmm, that's either too subtle or not nearly subtle enough

It does not have a keylogger

I'll post source if you want, but it aint pretty.

It would be better if, every time it sends/receives bots, it moves all remaining bots in the outbound folder to the inbound folder so th outbound doesn't get piled high with hundreds of bots. Another way of fixing this would be to send/receive more bots, I suppose, but that would also mean that bots are mixed more, and weather that is good or not is a matter of opinion.

my antivirus tries eat the hack and darwinots itself (Norton) So I've just told it to make an exeption for the two files

Alright, I'm gonna give it a shot.
Got this alge I've been wanting to try on IM, very simple, not hard to live off, but spreads a virus wich spreads random genes, and a virus that causes the infected bot to occasionaly rape other bots (Of any species, and nothing like 99 .sexrepro store, I think it's 40% if I remember correcly)

So basicaly it's suposed to shake things up a bit, the idea isn't to see how the alge does, but if it'll help infected bots evolve faster. (The rape gene doesn't trigger too often, so it shouldn't overpower the bot's behavior)

Not sure if it'll work, but been wanting to try it out for a while, so I hope this hack fix works. (And thanks in advance Sammeh)

Also, the last few times I tried IM I kept getting intra sim bots teleported in from old sims... mainly Flyfruit... so if that happens again I'll apologize in advance, I'm not trying to spread that thing again, I'm trying to get rid of it. (If you get them in your sim an easy way to get rid of them without stopping the sim, is just to reduce alge energy gain and disable viruses on your alge.)


Oh and Nums, it's too subtle... what do you mean? Whats he doing with the other hand?


EDIT: WOHO! It works! And no flyfruits, and I got a Pig

*Groan* I should really get in gear and install DB...

Another cool feature would be to have an internal nickname system, and be able to see who else is online.   Also, an internet populations feature would be great, but I can't see how that would be possible.

hit me up in IRC if you want features, I have a memory like a fish, it'll probably only get done if I do it right then and there

UPDATE: slightly new version, sends all the bots in the out folder at once instead of one by one. Should make IM more varied

Is only a beta though, so test it...let me know what breaks (if anything)

It works fine for me, but, while it is uploading a load of them, and you click on it, it looks like it has crashed but I think it is still running while it is "crashed". So, if you had IM running for a while beforehand and had the old DBIMHACK then it will look as if it has crashed for a while, only because it is emptying your "Outbound" folder.

I wouldn't say that this is a massive problem, though.

@Sammeh: are you doing everything in different threads?
Title: INTERNET MODE FIX (working solution, fairly smooth)
Post by: Ammeh on June 02, 2010, 04:04:54 AM
Nah, non of it is threaded...it was a pretty quick fix solution ;

I could pretty easily make it threaded though, though could cause some interesting glitches if the thread runs for more than 20 seconds

Again? Is this one threaded?
Title: INTERNET MODE FIX (working solution, fairly smooth)
Post by: Ammeh on June 02, 2010, 09:15:33 PM
No <.<

Threads quickly throw up painful and hard to deal with errors. I will work on a threaded version, but I'm gonna have to be careful with it. The HTTP socket handler I'm using isn't that great in the first place, and mixing it with threads...Basically, as many access violations as it's possible to have :|

I think I might need to write my own raw socket handler, which might require some reading up on HTTP/TCPIP.

Or I could just do a really nasty hack and hope for the best, if you're really that desperate

I don't think it can keep up with my outgoing; you need to get it so it can still download every so often, while uploading!

What does this version do better than the one before then?

uploads all bots in out folder at once, instead of one at a time. Hit me up on IRC at some point, I'll do a request session  (for programming  )

Oh. I downloaded that from MegaUpload too, so I now have two copies... oh well.

One thing that would be nice is if this could save the locations you put into it.

Updated again, save from same link.

Now saves your folder preferences, and maintains a list of online users which is accessible via IRC (and a php script)

I will try to get a sim running 24/7, or at least up quite a bit.

Ok, I have three sims up and running now, I will try to have them on a fair amount. They could use some of your guy's bots though ;)
