Testlund, this stuff happens ONLY if you go into Settings > Global Settings > Evolution > Simple survival mode or Eco survival mode.

Forget my concern then. It's always nice to have options.  :)

At some point actually I would like you to try it so I would not be the only one on IM running it, and other users too. But this is completely optional and does NOT activate under normal conditions. I do seem to recall that you had problems of making the program restart itself before, I even made some YouTube vids to help you out. You said you got it work after our session.

Yeah, I just now looked through old threads to refresh my memory about the global settings, because I haven't played with DB for months. I'll see if I can do some testings with your survival mode settings.

Hmmn... Is this something you've already added to DB or is it in the planning stage? I'm a bit concerned about favoring some bots over others with a handicap, that it defeats the purpose of true evolution.

It should be supported...

Great! I'm excited to run a long sim to see how the new Randomizer will affect it, and I can only dedicate my laptop with Win XP to that. Right now I'm only testing it on my desktop to see if there might be any nasty bugs.

Eventually one of these days an OS is going to come out that doesn't play with VB6 and then we're in trouble.

I hope that doesn't happen before DB3 is finished. I'm going to stay with Win 7 for my desktop as long as I possibly can, because I'm happy with how it works. The best OS so far imo.

Is the randomizer only running the first time when you start DB?

This question I can answer myself. The Randomizer will try to connect every once in awhile and if the computer is not connected it will cause DB to freeze permanently.  :glare:

So is the Randomizer finally working now?
Has anybody seen any interesting result when using this?
Is the randomizer only running the first time when you start DB?
What are all those .bin files for?
What's the maximum simulation size that the Randomizer can handle?

I've tried comodo. Worked quite well for a while, I did like the options, then after a update it accessed my hdd continuously. A reinstall didn't fix it, not using any firewall besides the default windows firewall now. Using AVG as a virusscanner.

When was that?

I remember when Comodo was new it had some issues. One issue that happened with a new update was that it would block a legitimate file necessary to boot Windows, where people had to make a complete re-install of Windows! They were quick to fix that though, but I just happened to be one of the unlucky ones installing the update before they fixed it, so I had to re-install Window. That is in the past now and I think it works excelent now.

Of course there is always a delicate balance what to allow. The firewall can't know everything. Typically people just disable features in their firewall because they get tired of the warnings, without really having any understanding of what software to trust.

Well, Comodo Internet Security has a free version that I linked to, in my opinion the best security software that you can get for home computers. It has tons of configuration options, but that may be too much of a learning curve for most users. It's well worth it though imo.

People were questioning this company in the beginning cause they couldn't believe they could just deliver such an advanced security program for free, unless there is a catch. But they're doing it to increase their reputation and earn trust in their company, to make people buy some of their other security solutions.

I highly recommend people to try it out. They have a forum with lots of tips how to configure it for maximum security.

The firewall even has a Paranoid Mode you can switch too, but I haven't tried that myself. I think it's overkill that may cause too much problems with safe applications.

That would be interesting, but I don't have time to make any bots right now.

Also, is the simulation going to run on participating pc's or a central server (Im wanting central server ;3).

I would prefer a central server too.

Hi, what's up?  :) Yes, I've been away since there hasn't been any work done on DB2 for a long time, but I'm willing to do some beta testing if Botsareus is back to fix bugs again.

If I'm not logging in here for some time you can always reach me on SoundCloud where I log in a couple of times a week.

You're right. I think we would both benefit from reading more and posting less.  ;)

I solved it. It was a firewall issue because of the way the Flash installer was designed.  :rolleyes:
