It sounds amazing and I'm dying to test out my Communitus_Friendlius but I cant get it to work. I dont know what to put in the FTP Server box
I'm running 2.43.1j
"run-time error '5'"
"invalid procedure call or argument"
"C:\Program Files\DarwinBots\F1leaguetable.txt doesnt exist"
thats what I keep getting when I try to do the F1 league thingamajig
and internet sharing gives me
"run time error '76'"
"path not found"
both of these suggest I'm missing program files. where can I download em?
-
All you should have to do to run IM is press the toolbar button. Everything is defaulted internally. The server name, etc. is ignored.
Are you running Vista? Be sure you run DB as a local admin...
You did run the 2.1 install before you downloaded 2.43.1j, right?
-
no vista
yes I have the 2.1 but this one is inside a folder inside the 2.1 directory. should I move it out into the open with the 2.1 exe?
-
should I move it out into the open with the 2.1 exe?
Yes. That is likely the issue.
-
wel no errors...
and I've just been invaded by "spinner moonfish"
thanks. its working now.
-
Anyone getting any Detonators? I've got about 5000 in my sim.
-
lol thanks for the algea eric. rofl
anyone get communitus friendlius?
says theres nine online...
AGH yer algea is moving...
and I just had to quit. a CF mutated that dang breeding disorder...
-
My stats say you've got 69 bots
Pull up populations from the graphs and compare it with the internet sim populations, that way you'll know if any of your bots survived outside your sim.
-
are there rules against sending nasty bots across the internet and ruining sims?
-cough- T_Permibulis -cough-
lol I'm sending you a doosie. just gotta make it.
man those moonfishers... my machine cant handle em.
I got 1.7ghz processor
and 512mb ram
whats average for this program?
-
I think T Permeablis is a stupid bot I made a long time ago using poison, virus and slime. If you plan to release anything that wipes everything, stick with Etch MKII. There is a limit as to how many bots you can send out, so you'll just end up ruining your own sim. Go ahead!
Besides, not many bots survive outside their own sim for long.
-
lol BOT WAR!!!
rofl I need to get better before I tackle that...
you seen CF in action yet?
-
CF? No, I've been running for two hours and anything that teleports in instantly gets zapped by detonators. Although they have dropped to 2300. Strange....
Heh, someone's trying out my Sentinel. I wrote a new version and can't remember if I posted it or not.
-
There are no rules in the current IM as long as you stick within the confines of the simulator code (meaning you introduce whatever bots you want, run whatever physicis or costs you want, run as many different machiens as you want, etc. but if you start writing your own code to talk to the FTP server directly to spam or cheat the the system, I am going to have words with you).
There are many things that influence performance and there are detailed posts of the subject but bot proximity is perhaps the second biggest factor (after total number of bots). Non-intuitivly, running a larger field size, all else being equal, will speed up your sim considerably as it allows the code to ignore cases where bots are too far away to see each other, etc.
-
lol I have an idea
maybe CFs come in and eat about 1000 detanators each before dying.
lol its sending me my own death bots now...
basically I reprogrammed the CF to HAVE the breeding disorder.
you know. me programming in the disorder doesnt work near as well as them getting it accidentally... I'm goona save a mutants DNA for this purpose...
-
I hope you didn't expect that "invasive breeder" to do anything; it landed in a patch with virtually no food and died within seconds. Next time, make it an autotroph so it becomes a veggies, and give it a ridiculous amount of nrg per cycle.
Warning: Trespassers will be digested
-
lol so you got it? yeah... make it a veggie.... hmmmm
rofl it just sent all my CFs across the internet. its like the teleporter was aiming.
-
OK, you asked for it. Out comes the Internet Mode Devil to wreck your sim.
Local Population:
505 Detonator
73 IMDevil
3 Invasive Breeder
1 Communitus Friendlius
-
my IM is off until I can get that mutant gene that causes them to breed like fire.
-
Well done, your mutant has caused my population to spike up to 382.
-
yer devil wouldnt be "spinner" would it?
cause he is a pain in the ***
-
No, you would know if you had one. It's purple, swarms out the map as soon as it teleports, and infects everything with a virus that copies its behaviour.
Man, my bot are having a feast on your invasive breeders. Thanks.
-
rofl it just sent invasive breeder into my new sim.
lol I'm goona revive I_Flamma
be on the look out for him and some brothers I've mutated from it.
looks like I killed off yer detanators...
-
Detonator's a swarm bot one isn't going to survive for long.
-
and to think just yesterday I relied soley on mutations and had no grasp of the language at all...
you know I havent seen any other bots with peripheral vision. two littles genes make a world of difference.
-
My bots use every single eye
-
really? havent seen any at all that use anything but eye5
I g2g for tonight. I finally got that mutant gene that I was going to use to trash your sim. saved the DNA but when I loaded it it into a new sim it said
"'s' dna hash incorrect. ignoring paramaters"
why?
-
You are probably using hashes. If you are, delete them.
-
I have no idea what that is. but I'll look for weird stuff tonight.
cya tomorow maybe after school.
