I have decided to release a version of the AI bot I've been making off and on the last year or so.

Info and download at:
dsbleague.com/aibot.html


I'm really interested in feedback and suggestions on this.

The message about the news file probably isn't the real problem youre having.

Hard to say what exactly it is but I noticed youre letting the bot create the botname for itself. try creating the name the bot is going to use manually by entering with it using continuum.

also the freq setting Freq=-5227 is invalid. it needs to be -1 for random freq or from 0 to 9999. Probably has nothing to do with the reason its not connecting right though.
And the Radius setting you have of 23 is kinda low. might wanna increase that to around 200 tiles. If you have it at 23 the bot will stop fighting and go back to startpoint every time it gets outside a 23 tile radius.

One more thing I noticed is the energy pw setting (Not sure if thats what you have it set to or if youre just hiding it when posting) but having it set to ********** might cause probs since subspace commands start with *. Just something that crossed my mind and probably isn't related to the real prob either

I'd say try the first thing I mentioned and post back if it's still not working.

[cypherus]

Errors Ahoy! Lol. I'll post a screeny. It also gave me a earlier error about the server not letting it enter because it needed a Continuum client, so I had to set ContinuumOnly to 0.

By the way, ********** was set to sensor the password.

[Default]

Hmm I will host it if you want me to.

[Purge]

Try and add the bot's name onto VIP.txt.

[Default]

I will check it when it is back online.

[cypherus]

I'm not one to give up, and it paid off. It finally works. Good job Bjorn.

[Bjorn]

[cypherus]

Alright! I will.
