MeleeRumble Client

Hi,

My meleerumble client doesn't seem to be working, I get this error:

Unable to retrieve participants list. Response is 404: Not Found

and then it continues on with an endless cycle of:

Uploading results ...
Could not load properties file: ./roborumble/files/codesizemelee.txt
Can't open result file for upload
Updating number of battles fought ...
Can't open # battles file ... Aborting # battles update

As a solution, I thought I'd create the .txt files manually and put the melee participant list by copying it myself.

Although, I would like to fix the error since it won't pick up new robots and I will eventually make a mistake at copying the whole list or even worse, copy the 1v1 list.

in the meleerumble.txt file, there seems to be a typo in line 128 (my version of that file). It has to be PARTICIPANTSURL=https://robowiki.net/wiki/RoboRumble/Participants/Melee?action=raw

Note the questionmark between Melee and action.

Thank you, I remember myself comparing the two links but turns out my eyes couldn't distinguish between "&" and "?". :)

New robowiki no longer allows such typos, so it’s broken.

Anyway it’s fixed in next robocode version.

Packaging Problems

After upgrading my robocode from 1.9.2.5 to 1.9.3.5 I started to have problems with dev versions of my robots.
What happens is when I put a dev version into a battle(2.6.7.2*) I get the packaged version of the bot(2.6.7.2) in the battle.
After I restarted my computer I had the exact opposite problem. I started to get the dev version when I put a packaged bot.
Also, when I put WhiteFang in the rumble it downloads a development version(dsekercioglu.WhiteFang* 2.6.7.2)
Anyone having similar problems?

This bug is known and fixed already in 1.9.3.6-alpha.

Currently I don’t pack bots with robocode and I use seprate installation for roborumble, so this bug didn’t affect me.

However the fix of this bug is by reintroducing another bug. Yet I don’t know what that bug is.

Thanks, it is time to upgrade my RoboRumble version then.

Sorry for the things I have done

I won't say that I was little and find excuses as I did before. I just wanted you to know that how sad I feel about asking questions in off-topic places, asking questions rudely and most importantly about finding excuses for the mistakes I have done instead of just accepting it. I am sure that I have done more unacceptable mistakes but these are the only ones I remember right now. Also, I want to thank the whole wiki for answering my unclear questions despite my rudeness, teaching me how to be more polite and making me a better person.

Removing all your bots ?

Hi, I saw that you removed all your bots from the rumble. Are you sure this is your intention ? Leaving your best bot active while trying to create a better one seems more logical to me. Note that it took me more than a year to enter top-100, and another year to enter top-20.

GrubbmGait (talk)16:35, 21 October 2017

Agreed, please don't drop everything. Clearly you're smart and a good programmer, and even if you aren't cracking top 10 (out of over 1000!) please don't be demotivated. I bet there are a few bugs that are lurking somewhere in your code that if you found them would instantly give you a 20 position boost. Just ask User:Chase-san about his experience with Seraphim.

I also started Robocode in high school, and it really shaped my whole understanding of geometry, statistics and more and has eventually impacted where I work and a lot of my understanding about software design, when calculations should be approximated and when a high accuracy version is required, etc. Robocode is definitely the best studying tool I have ever come across.

For me, at least early on I got the most satisfaction from the microrumble - having the codesize limitation meant that there were less moving parts and it was small enough to keep the whole thing in my head while I internalised all of the physics, strategies etc. I still think there are major gains to be made in minirumble, and the nano/micro/mini melee rumbles are also very neglected. Maybe you would find more enjoyment in the codesize limited divisions? The megabot scene isn't for everybody.

Skilgannon (talk)19:49, 21 October 2017

Thank you for motivation. Robocode is the best game I’ve ever seen. It is so perfect that I started to tune my bots one hour after I decided to give a break. I’ve already found a bug and will try the micro division. I won't re-upload them since most of them are modular BasicGFSurfers.
