My program crashes 10 seconds after starting a sim

Sounds to me like you have an old settings file. From 2.1 maybe?

Well, let's see what Purple Youko has to say about that!

"It has been frequently mentioned lately that the default settings file is boring. Let's face it, in today's world of DarwinBots, T-Preservans is nothing to write home about. In his day he wasn't bad but now we need something fresh that actually survives.

Also the default value for veggie feeding that you used in older versions (10,000) doesn't work too well in 2.36. It used to represent the energy level for the whole sim but now it just directly controls the veggie feed rate.

10,000 energy per cycle!

No wonder their eyes pop out!

Set it to 30. Makes more sense that way. That will be the default value for F1 and F2 leagues from now on

Anyway, without more ado, here is a nice new settings file that uses Hunter 2.2 as the default robot. He survives, grows and fights pretty well but he is no longer top bot so it shouldn't be too discouraging for newbies." -Purple Youko

If you don't have Hunter 2.2 then please go and download him from here in the beatiary. Now save his file into your DarwinBotsII/robots folder and off you go.

Settings file

The easiest way is to download it from here, but some of you have weird internet and can't download. Shame, shame. So the below is an exact transcription (yep, it's just a text file). Save it as default.set in you settings directory. If you're in post 2.4, you'll probably need to load this into your sim using the "load settings" button.

NOTE: If you download the file from the link above ...
the path in line 8 will be: "Z:\DB Backup\DarwinBotsII\Robots".
You need to alter that path to point to the folder where you have installed DarwinBotsII.
If you have installed DarwinBotsII to a location other than "C:\Program Files\DarwinBotsII\" ...
change that path in the default.set file (line 8 in the following) to ensure the program will be able to locate your robots.
(I believe if you make it "&#\Robots" it will work regardless of where you installed DBII ... but I could be wrong ... so exercise caution.)
