Title: Sysvar Documentation bug
Post by: EricL on March 16, 2006, 05:04:29 PM
1) .paralyzed is not listed in the Sysvar Table (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=Sysvars) in the Wiki.

2) If you navigate to the ..paralyzed entry (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=.paralyzed) via the .poisioned entry (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=.poisoned), it incorrectly states that .paralyzed will have value 1 when the bot is under the influence of venom.  In actuality, .paralyzed will be a positive number indicating the number of cycles remaining before the venom wears off.

anyone can edit/alter the wiki ...
make corrections, add new stuff, improve upon what is there.
that's what a wiki is. ;)

Wiki-wiki is the Hawaiian word for hurry, quick, swift.
Wiki:
n.
A collaborative website whose content can be edited by anyone who has access to it.

also ...
any changes are 'reversible' ...
all info is retained in 'history' so mistakes are not a problem ...
they can always be reversed/corrected.

any who wish to help/contribte there are welcome.

hmmmmm .... I don't find it in the Sysvars2.21txt file either:
http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...alk:Sysvars2.21 (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=Talk:Sysvars2.21)

It's in the actual sysvars2.21.txt file in the download (#837), just not in the online copy at the link you mention.

Thanks for the Wiki education.  You learn something new everyday.  I'll edit the entries.

thanks.
the first page I go to at the Wiki is Recent Changes:
http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...l:Recentchanges (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges)
there you can see what's been added/edited and by whom.
if you were to Register there ...
then you end up with your own User page and talk page.
that way we can all interface there as to what takes place on the Wiki.
for instance:
Num's talk page:
http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...er_talk:Numsgil (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=User_talk:Numsgil)
Endy's:
http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...=User_talk:Endy (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=User_talk:Endy)
mine:
http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...=User_talk:Griz (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=User_talk:Griz)

there is also a 'RoundTable' set up for discussion:
http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index...itle=RoundTable (http://www.darwinbots.com/WikiManual/index.php?title=RoundTable)
[added some links to some DB animations]

people just haven't gotten used to using the Wiki yet ...
good potential there for a lot of things, imo, ime ...
where the data is available for new users as they come along.
so I try to encourage it's use.

I don't think it is Eric ...
here's the download:
http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php?act=...post&id=1228687 (http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1228687)
where I got the one I have been using, btw ...
as it seems to have been left out of the 2.37.6 zip.
and paralyzed 837 is NOT included in the Sysvars2.21.txt that I get.

I've added a note about this at the wiki, where the link to the download
is provided.
someone else check this out, eh?
if so, then we need to supply a link to the sysvars as it should be.
well ... I will upload it again here, and replace the old link with the new.

anyway ... just to alert peeps to this error.

Replaced the Wiki links to download sysvars2.21.txt to the attachment in the above message.
All should be well.
Until we move this forum. ;)

Sorry, I should have been more specific.  

.paralyzed is included in the sysvars2.21.txt that you get when you unzip the latest 2.4A download (http://www.darwinbots.com/FTP/DarwinBots2.4.A.zip).  

It is not included in the download location  (http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1228687)where most people get it when they follow the instructions to install 2.37.6.

correct.
that one is here:
http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php?act=...post&id=1228687 (http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1228687)
with paralyzed missing.

I have uploaded the corrected version here:
http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php?act=...post&id=1346996 (http://forum.darwinbots.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1346996)
and changed the links at the wiki accordingly.
the one at 1228687 should be altered or removed.
that will take PY or Nums I think.
