| + | '''Scalar Series''' is a collection of rumble bots made by [[User:Xor|Xor]]. The common trait of Scalar Series is fast, modularized and competition oriented. |
| | | | |
| − | == '''To collaborate with RR@H''' ==
| + | [[Category:Xor's Bots]] |
| − | | |
| − | If you entered a bot into the competition, you could consider to collaborate running the competition by using your computer to execute battles and upload results (similar to SETI@Home project). The process is fully automated, so there is no pain on doing it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Make a separate installation of Robocode in a different directory (like <code>C:\robohome</code>), so running the client will not influence your own development and vice versa. '''Please only use version 1.6.1.4, as it is proven stable and is sufficently recent.'''
| |
| − | # Download patch [[Darkcanuck/RRServer/Updates|here]] and place in <code>/libs</code> directory under your installation.
| |
| − | # Edit "roborumble\roborumble.txt" file and change the Put_Your_Name_Here to your nick or your handler.
| |
| − | # Extract all the zip-files below into the "robots" directory
| |
| − | # Start the client using roborumble.bat or roborumble.sh (depending on the OS). The first time it can take more than 15 minutes before all jar-files are examined!
| |
| − | #* Or, on your first time you can start robocode with robocode.bat or robocode.sh (depending on OS), wait for the robocode database to be updated, then close robocode and run roborumble.bat/roborumble.sh normally.
| |
| − | # Run it as much time as you can. The more you run it, the more you contribute. It is fully automated, so you don't have to care at all.
| |
| − | # If you find problems, refer to RoboRumble related pages, or post your issue and we will try to solve it.

| − | == Problem reporting ==
| |
| − | Issues on starting off with RoboRumble can be discussed on the [[Talk:RoboRumble/Starting With RoboRumble|talk page]].<br>
| |
| − | Old issues are archived at [[RoboRumble/StartingWithRoboRumbleOld]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Useful options in roborumble.txt ==
| |
| − | * "'''USER'''": Your name/handle, used for identification of your roborumble client.
| |
| − | * "'''BATTLESPERBOT'''" is the minimum number of battles a bot needs before it stops getting priority.
| |
| − | * "'''NUMBATTLES'''", the number of battles fought on each run of roborumble.
| |
| − | * "'''UPLOAD'''", can be used to disable uploading. Use this to disable uploading when testing a version of robocode NOT listed above. Note, the current server will reject results from incorrect versions anyway.
| |
| − | * "'''ITERATE'''", whether to run battles indefinitely. Do ''not'' enable ITERATE in versions prior to 1.6.1.4, use the scripts below instead.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Script ==
| |
| − | Those scripts will be good for roborumbler. They run battles forever, catching standard and error stream and put it to a file in the directory ./log/tempNUMBER_OF_BATTLE.txt (the script have to be in the roborumble directory), the scripts will not work without the "log" directory
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' For robocode version 1.6.1.4 and up, there is no need of the script anymore. Instead, set ITERATE=YES in your setting file.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Batch script for Windows users ===
| |
| − | Save this script to a file in the roborumble directory in a file with ".bat" extension, create a directory called "log", then run the script with double click:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | @echo off
| |
| − | title RoboRumble@Home Client
| |
| − | set count=1
| |
| − | :run
| |
| − | echo "Iteration number: %count%"
| |
| − | java -Xmx512M -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -cp libs/robocode.jar;libs/codesize.jar;libs/roborumble.jar roborumble.RoboRumbleAtHome ./roborumble/roborumble.txt >> ./log/temp%count%.txt
| |
| − | echo ---
| |
| − | set /a count+=1
| |
| − | goto run
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Bash script for *nix users ===
| |
| − | Save this script to a file in the roborumble directory, right click and set the file executable, create a directory called "log", then run the script from shell:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | #!/bin/bash
| |
| − | | |
| − | echo # new line
| |
| − | count=0
| |
| − | while [ "$var1" != "fine" ] # forever
| |
| − | do
| |
| − | let "count=count+1"
| |
| − | echo "battle n: " $count
| |
| − | sh roborumble.sh &> ./log/temp$count.txt
| |
| − | echo
| |
| − | done
| |
| − | | |
| − | exit 0
| |
| − | </pre>
