Minibot?

Does anyone know why Gilgalad, and many other megabots are now listed under minibots in the rankings page?

We discussed it about a month ago and agreement was that this it the bug in 1.9 robocode. I think we still have not reported it to developers.

I also noticed that the new robocode seems to run multi threaded (at least in 1.9.2). In my opinion this is not a welcome change, since it eats all available cores of my CPU. I used to run rumble, melerumble, and top 30 melee on my machine, but now they fight between each other and consume more than I want to spare for robocode.

There are a couple different uploaders presently. When some of them upload, it appears the codesize isn't respected. As soon as a couple others do, the big bots get pruned.

Well, I think my uploaders use to be (and probably still are) culprits. But I did not do any tweaking or modification of stock client. I was also under suspicion that even with mine, some of my machines were doing the correct size report and other were not. But they all have identical configs and java distributions.

The only thing which might be of importance: I run everything on OpenJDK, may be it has a different way to evaluate the code size.

Nevertheless, I stopped uploading for a week, so new wrong entries are due to new uploaders. May be we should look for correlation, and see what is the possible reason for the size misreporting.

Hi all. Apparently all we need to do is to report bugs to developers :) I did so and Fnl fixed it within a day.

I suggest everyone to upgrade to 1.9.2.2 and kindly ask Rednaxela to tune rumble server to accept client with this version and above.

It would be Skilgannon that runs the rumble server, not I. ;)

Shame on me, I keep doing this mistake over and over :(

No worries =) The rumble is updated, and only accepting contributions from 1.9.2.2

Beaming, it seems your new client is still uploading megabots to the minirumble :-/

Edit: never mind, it now seems to be removing them. Maybe they were left over from the old install?

Edit2: it seems you have two clients running, one is removing and one adding.

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.

Also, both clients complain:

Could not load properties file: ./roborumble/files/codesize1v1.txt

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.
