RoboForge

just curious, is there a more stable version of RF other than 1.34?

my game keeps crashing during bot creation.. very frustrating ;/



as is understand it, RF is freeware now.. so it stands to reason that the guru code monkies out there must have made some improvements ;o))

plz advise

ok so ive DL 1.34-02

when we goto the bot workshop the windows are overlapped ;//
the place where the components should be is flashing over top of the radio buttons at top left.. construction, moves, etc...
things are lookin pretty screwy here ;/ im not sure what to do.. it seams to me that a folder got swapped or something(wild guess)

my options now seam to be 1. beg for more assistance from the robo gods ;o)) or 2. go back to the buggy version 1.34



plz advise

hhhmmm. seems so strange...


could you post:
- Your operating system (pls specify 32 or 64bit)
- CPU architecture
- a print screen
- output.txt file


Just to explain a little bit: new rel 1.34-02 isn't really a new release.

It just forces the game to run in windowed mode and to run the game only using 1 CPU if you are using a dual core.

Well, CPU architecture basically describe how is(are) structured your CPU(s) in your system:
- Single Core = 1 CPU
- Dual Core = 2 CPU
- Quad = 4 CPU

As all new PC are DUO or higher (but some of us still use crappy PC to run RF) during installation process is required to insert your CPU architecture. So if You wrong it I recommend to uninstall it and reinstall it again selecting the correct CPU architecture.


And now a list of stupid questions/request (sorry I have to do it ):

1. Do you run RF using the desktop shortcut created during installation ( or START-> Programs -> Roboforge --> Roboforge)? It's very strange for me that RF didn't start windowed as the Shortcut should force it. In addition (in my PC) javaw.exe run only if you run directly roboforge.exe. Did You do this? I recommend to use the shortcut created.


2. RF has been set tu run OpenGL dll as default. Could You try to run RF (in some way) and select:
"Options-->DirectX" then "Save and Exit".

If You can't get any benefits from DirectX settings restore OpenGL.


3. If I undestood correctly,in your PC "old" v 1.34 "just crash" (often) but didn't create the "javaw.exe" error message . So assuming you have a dual core (as You are using Vista) try to run directly Roboforge.exe (double click on it) and then open Task manager(CTRL + ALT +DEL), select Process Tab, select "javaw.exe", right button of mouse on it, Set Affinity and leave set only CPU 1 (disable cPU 0). This should:
- run Roboforge in full screen mode
- use just one CPU (reducing system hangups)


Please let me know if some of this tips works (as feedback).

ahh found it.. duo core

;o) i remmber ticking single core.. cuz i didnt know where to look to find how many CPU i have..

as far as that list of stupid questions... those are the simple mistakes that most ppl overlook ;o)) NVR oppologize for that bro ;o) lol

1. ive used both and they both give javaw crash

2. ive tried both open GL and directX with the same results..

3. almost every time i get a crash it is with the javaw.exe failure




sooo.. currently i am running in directX with 1CPU checked for javaw... lets see if i still run into snags ;o)

if i still get crashed, i will reinstal and go from there..


==============

thanks guys for all the help
