Main Install

DarwinBots 2.1

This must be installed prior to installing the patches/updates. See the installation instructions.

Recent Releases

Just copy into your Darwinbots folder (wherever you installed it, generally c:\Program File\DarwinbotsII\)
Unzip the zip file there and say yes to all overwrites.

Please note that higher versions might not necessarily be more stable and bug-free than lower versions. Users are encouraged to download both of the versions below (2.37.6 and 2.4X). To do this install version 2.1 twice into two seperate directories and then replace the relevant files in each with the required new version.

2.37.6

DarwinBots2.37.6

2.37.6 is a very, very stable release. New users are encouraged to start with this version.

NOTE: Sysvars2.21.txt may not be included in Version 2.37.6 It is available here as text or as a download. Place it in your "DarwinBotsII" folder.

2.37.7b

DarwinBots2.37.7b

A reworking by Endy.

1. Fixed a bug involving limitless waste creation caused by storing negative values into .strvenom and .strpoison
2. Modified code to allow slime/shell/venom/poison to be unmade for an energy gain
3. Negative stores/inc/dec are now absoluted
4. Stores/inc/dec to values greater than 999 are now modified to be within 1-999 range; ie. 31330 would be stored to as 330

2.42.5

DarwinBots2.42.5

2.42.5 is also a very stable release with some interesting new capabilities. Although most of the known incompatabilites have been addresswed, some bots may behave differently than they do in the 2.37.6 version due to differences in the underlying physics engines. Please bring any such differences you notice to the attention of the program authors.

New users are encouraged to download and run this release alongside 2.37.6.
