Minibot?

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Gilgalad

Yes, I run 2 clients. More specifically 2 machines, both of which run roborumble and meleerumble, one of this additionally runs meleeTop30. As far as I can see, they have identical relevant software configuration.

I do not get it: microrumble and nanorumble seems to be fine with either of the clients, but minirumble is populated with megabots. Any idea what is going on?

As fat as I see after some tests, it is not a particular client issue. At start up, either of the clients cleans the mess, i.e. removes bogus entries. But then as it runs, it reintroduces them.

I will report it to Fnl again.

I think I managed to fix the last part of the bug. I made a version 1.9.2.3 here, which is not official (yet). If it works, I will release it pretty much as it is. If not, I will need to work much harder to figure out what causes the problem?!

Thanks Fnl.

Now we wait till Skilgannon switches accepted clients in rumble.

1.9.2.3 is now accepted for uploads. I'll disable 1.9.2.2 when it is officially released.

Hi Fnl I've tried the client out a bit, and it seems to correctly remove bots at the beginning of each round, however it doesn't respect codesize for minibots when deciding which rumbles the results of a battle should be uploaded to. This may be due to the priority battles for that rumble requesting those bots, I'm not sure.

Skilgannon (talk)20:19, 8 September 2014

Yep, but why is the mciro and nano rumbles are fine? There must be something special about the miniruble.

I will dig into the RoboRumble client sources. I haven't touched RR for a long time, so it is odd that it causes problems with newer versions. Perhaps the change was made around version 1.9.0.0? Anyways. I hope it is okay to upload newer 1.9.2.3 version to check if the problems is fixed when I make new fixes/adjustments to the code? :-)

I am not able to find any obvious bugs on the client side that could cause this trouble. I checked all changes on the RoboRumble client sources since version 1.8.2.0. Could it be some configuration issue or a change on the server side?

Fnl (talk)22:50, 8 September 2014
 

Okay. I checked all changed made to the RoboRumble since version 1.8.2.0 and found a potential bug regarding a check for the codesize. I made a "rollback" of the code so it works the same way as for version 1.8.2.0 and earlier. I made a new version 1.9.2.3 that needs to be tested. It looks okay to me when it runs, but I need you to test it thoroughly.

If it works I will make a release of the new 1.9.2.3 ASAP.

Dear Fnl,

It looks like this release fixed the situation. I do not see anything wrong with the minirumble anymore.

Thanks a lot for your effort.

Beaming (talk)01:03, 13 September 2014

Phew. This one was a hard one to fix. It was almost a one-liner bug, but still hard to find. :-) I will make a official release as soon as possible - hopefully later today. :-)

Fnl (talk)10:15, 15 September 2014

Thank you very much Fnl :-) I will disable uploads for 1.9.2.2 as soon as you make the new official release.

Skilgannon (talk)13:51, 15 September 2014

Robocode 1.9.2.3 has just been released. :-)
