Why Cant You Make An Evbot Version History

Look at the source Luke

For some strange reason my EvBot is drastically outperforming apc.Caan 1.0 in melee EvBot v4.5.2 stats

I find it quite strange. Why apc.Caan is so different from its neighbors? I do not have any special algorithm against a particular bot. In fact, I fire circular gun at everyone until I survive to 1on1 situation.

Any hints?

Not aware of anything in particular, but I'd suggest you try running a meleerumble-like match on your local computer involving both EvBot and apc.Caan, and watch the battle. Maybe apc.Caan is crashing or something? Not sure.

Looks like it get disabled right away. But how did it get to the 194th place in the melerumble with such behavior? Why my bot get an edge on it?

For example abc.Shadow and Diamond are actually under perform for this bot.

I see that my FPS is much smaller for robocode newer than 1.7.3.0. It is actually as slow as 15 FPS, while in robocode v1.7.3.0 on the same machine I was getting close to 50FPS. This make graphical debug quite painful, and forces me to use old robocode 1.7.3.0 which is suboptimal, since rumbles run with 1.8.2 and 1.8.3.

What system are you running on? I know some of the OpenJDK stuff needs to have the OpenGL manually inserted into the startup scripts, and this was causing crashes on some systems so it was removed.

I am running Linux debian stable. Is it possible to put OpenGL back via config file edits or similar?

If you copy the robocode.sh file from 1.7.3.0 it should have the opengl arguments in it.

it seems that these files are identical

#!/bin/sh
pwd=`pwd`
cd "${0%/*}"
java -Xmx512M -cp libs/robocode.jar robocode.Robocode $*
cd "${pwd}"

so it something else

Check here and here. It seems that the openGL was used in 1.7.4.0, not 1.7.3.0.

I am running rumble clients on several of my machines, but I would like my bot to be sampled a bit more often than the rest. Can I tweak something in my configs to achieve it, without breaking the ratings? Currently, I am most interested in meleerumble.
