Hello.

I've used Pogamut 2 for my MSc thesis some time ago (Pogamut project is really great BTW) and there was an "Experiment" functionality.

I can't find something similar in pogamut 3. I'm mostly involved with bot teams which means that i need to easily start new "experiment" with arbitrary number of different pogamut bots.

I found this:
http://diana.ms.mff.cuni.cz/main/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?topics_offset=1&forumId=4&comments_parentId=188
Which says that there is no such functionality (but its quite an old post)

I also found that:
http://diana.ms.mff.cuni.cz/pogamut_files/latest/doc/tutorials/ch09s03.html
Which could be usefull if i could automatically add some pogamut bots.

What i need to achieve is to automatically start a new match with a number of different pogamut bots. Is there any simple way?

In pogamut 2 i used experiments like that below:


public static byte TCB_BOT_COUNT = 4;
public static byte NB_BOT_COUNT = 4;
public static byte IVCB_BOT_COUNT = 0;
public static int TEAM_SKILL_LEVEL = 2;
public static int ENEMY_SKILL_LEVEL = 2;
public static int FREETIME = 10000;
public static int TC_FREE_TIME = 0;

public static byte DUMMY_BOT_COUNT = 0;
public static byte SHOOT_ANY_BOT_COUNT = 0;

public Main(ExperimentDescriptor descriptor, UTServer server) {
super(descriptor, server);
}

@Override
protected void stageOneInit() throws Exception {
getLogger().info("Experiment initialized.");
}

@Override
protected void stageTwoStart() throws Exception {
getLogger().info("Experiment started.");
Agent teamAgent = new teamcombatbot.TeamController();
((teamcombatbot.TeamController)teamAgent).setSkillLevel(TEAM_SKILL_LEVEL);
((teamcombatbot.TeamController)teamAgent).setExperimentLog(getLogger());
getServer().connectBot(teamAgent, "TC");
Thread.currentThread().sleep(TC_FREE_TIME);
int i = 0;
Agent [] agents = new AgentTCB_BOT_COUNT-1;
for (Agent a: agents){
//Thread.sleep(1500);
getLogger().info("Adding bot: TeamCombatBot" + i);
a = new teamcombatbot.TeamBot();
((teamcombatbot.TeamBot)a).setSkillLevel(TEAM_SKILL_LEVEL);
((teamcombatbot.TeamBot)a).setCommuniactionName("TeamCombatBot"+i++);
getServer().connectBot(a, "TeamCombatBot");
}
Thread.currentThread().sleep(FREETIME);
for (i = 0; i < NB_BOT_COUNT; i++){
getServer().connectOriginalBot("UTBot " +i , Triple.add(SimpleMapInfo.getMapCenter(),new Triple(1000,1000,0)), ENEMY_SKILL_LEVEL, 2);
}
for (i = 0; i < DUMMY_BOT_COUNT; i++){
getServer().connectBot(new teamcombatbot.DummyBot(),"DummyBot");
}
i = 0;
agents = new AgentIVCB_BOT_COUNT;
for (Agent a: agents){
//Thread.sleep(1500);
getLogger().info("Adding bot: InfluenceVectorsCombatBot" + i);
a = new influencevectorscombatbot.TeamBot();
((influencevectorscombatbot.TeamBot)a).setSkillLevel(ENEMY_SKILL_LEVEL);
((influencevectorscombatbot.TeamBot)a).setTeam(2);
getServer().connectBot(a, "InfluenceVectorsCombatBot");
}
agents = new AgentSHOOT_ANY_BOT_COUNT;
for (Agent a: agents){
//Thread.sleep(1500);
getLogger().info("Adding bot: ShootAnyBot" + i);
a = new influencevectorscombatbot.ShootAnyBot();
((influencevectorscombatbot.ShootAnyBot)a).setSkillLevel(ENEMY_SKILL_LEVEL);
((influencevectorscombatbot.ShootAnyBot)a).setTeam(2);
getServer().connectBot(a, "ShootAnyBot");
}
//if (TCB_BOT_COUNT > 0)
// ((simplecirclebot.Main)agents0).setExperimentLeader(true);
while (true)
{
//Thread.currentThread().sleep(1000);
//if (agents0 != null){
if (((teamcombatbot.TeamController)teamAgent).isExperimentFinish()){
getServer().disconnectAllBots();
for (Player p : getServer().getPlayers()){
getServer().kickBot(p.UnrealID);
}
break;
}
//}
}
// Quit the experiment
setResultAndTerminate(new ExperimentResult());
}



Thanks!

Marcel
