bad battles for DrussGT

Hey dude, are you seeing any errors in your rumble client for DrussGT 2.4.9? I see a few weird results from your client: [1] [2] [3] [4]

I know you've been running clients for a while with no problems, so maybe it's something wrong with DrussGT. I think he logs errors to disk, so if you could check roborumble_dir/robots/.data/jk/mega/DrussGT.data (or something like that) for any exceptions, I'm sure it would be appreciated. =)

Also, belated welcome to the RoboWiki! Feel free to make pages to tell us about your bots sometime. =)

Hey,

I am not sure what happened, I also saw that result being uploaded and it looked weird. There are no data.

I am running roborumble twice, with 2 different directory trees to utilize 2 cores. pb@pb-P52F:~/workspace/Robocode$ ls roborumble/robots/.data/jk/mega/DrussGT.data pb@pb-P52F:~/workspace/Robocode$ ls roborumble2/robots/.data/jk/mega/DrussGT.data pb@pb-P52F:~/workspace/Robocode$

I'll do some pages for my bots, when there is anything interesting to say :-), so far just imitating others' work with bad results.

On unrelated topic, do you know darkcanuck? I am trying to get a flag, but his not responding on wiki or email.

Regards

re: "so far just imitating others' work with bad results."

Don't sweat it. My bot is in the top 40 now, but a year and a half ago, it was about where Viper is now. Just keep thinking and trying.. and don't be afraid to rewrite large sections of code, or the entire bot if you realize a better way to put it all together! As it stands now, deBroglie is a rewrite of a rewrite of a bot I hacked together from disparate pieces I'd done as demos for students. There's no trace of that original code, but that's the lineage.

Keep at it! :)

Nice link. =) That definitely describes Dookious. But it also describes Tron, whose major versions are left in as separate RoboRumble entries. I guess Robocoders can't agree on it either!

That's my other degree (philosophy) showing there. *grins* It is a fascinating issue, even in Robocode. The only thing that connects deBroglie now to the bot I originally named Newton is just that I've decided to consider it the same project in my head.

BTW. cg on the first place

As far as I can tell, the bad results only come up for your client. I'll do a re-release and see what happens.

And if there were any errors they should have been logged. It would come up as <opponent name>.dat with the contents being a stack trace. The only way for there to be a 0/0 on bullet damage with the other bot getting 35 survival as well as data files not being written is for DrussGT to fail to load or being kicked out by the security manager. So maybe try re-installing your robocode client? Or see if you can run DrussGT in the regular Robocode on each client?

Hi Skigannon,

Not sure ... :

pb@pb-P52F:~/workspace/Robocode/roborumble$ ls -a robots/.data/jk/mega/DrussGT.data/ . .. pb@pb-P52F:~/workspace/Robocode/roborumble$ ls -a ../roborumble2/robots/.data/jk/mega/DrussGT.data/ . ..

There is nothing there.

I found this, however, I think these are data from other bots about DrussGT: pb@pb-P52F:~/workspace/Robocode$ find -name "*.dat" | grep -i DrussGT ./roborumble2/robots/.data/pez/gloom/GloomyDark.data/jk.mega.DrussGT.dat ./roborumble2/robots/.data/ag/Gir.data/jk.mega.DrussGT 2.4.9_dodgedata.dat ./roborumble2/robots/.data/ag/Gir.data/jk.mega.DrussGT 2.4.9_gundata.dat ./roborumble/robots/.data/tzu/TheArtOfWar.data/jk.mega.DrussGT 2.4.9.dat ./roborumble/robots/.data/sch/Simone.data/jk.mega.DrussGT 2.4.9.dat

Do you see any other bots having issues? I am going to delete druss so it can be downloaded again.
