problems with loading sims in 2.37.6:

Current Problems

Load/Save Sim

The most important thing (IMO) is that one should be able to load a simulation previously saved. That doesn't work for me in version....2.37.....whatever... Either nothing happens when trying to load or I get a crash.

I have experienced the same. I suspect it mght be because you are trying

to load in a sim that was not previously saved with Version 2.37.6.

This happens for me and simply freezes up my computer.

So I suggest you select 'new sim' and once you have it set up ...

save it under a name of 2376_whaterver.sim ...

this is what I do now ... and when I load this one in ... it works.

And one must also have the required bots, settings, sims in the correct

folder ... ie ... the Settings, Robots, Saves folders in the same DarwinBotsII

folder as your executable.

Don't know if this helps but ... when i follow the above, 2.37.6 functions ok for me. Griz^talk 09:31, 14 Dec 2005 (MST)

-> Simulator Settings -> Physics and Cost -> Advanced Cost

I have version 2.4.A and i have the following problem: When i try to edit the values in "Advanced Cost" tab and set "Body Upkeep" to other then zero as default (Why? They live forever when not moving or shooting!?) i try "1" and they die immediately. Ofcourse i lower the settings to "0,01" or "0,1" for example but when i run it and want to change it again it says zero again! Why does it reset like this? Does it have to be a whole number? Then they surely die too fast. Please help, as i do not like them to live forever and mess up with evolution. It should cost for them to only exist, then they die off if they are lazy ;)

League

Can't load League without it crashing ... either a New or existing league. run error 91. Griz^talk 10:45, 17 Dec 2005 (MST)
