Title: bot_Sharp2008P1 doesn't seem to be working
Post by banMic on Jan 19^th, 2012, 8:31pm

Hi,
I've just started going up the bot ladder (Well I hope that's what I'm doing). I've have tried playing bot_Sharp2008P1 a number of times of the course of a couple of days and each time get an error. The error message said to report in on the forum. I hope this is the right place to do it.

I just found out about this game. I think it is great.

Michael

Seems like this bot has been crashing occasionally and leaving behind some files that make the system think it is still running. There is a limit on how many instances can be running so that's why a new one was not started for you. I've cleaned it up, so it should work now.

I'm not sure it's working correctly now, I had the same problem today.

It seems to work for me. I just checked it. Although I used the 'Bots Available' page to start it.

Boo, see if you can convince the developers of the top bots to open them for games during event games. Promise to give commentary on the bot weaknesses or something like that. ;D

Ohh the event! Would be nice to have more informative error message like "Error: bot did not start because it is watching the event game. Do not disturb it please." :)
