Alright, not sure if this is the thread, but here goes.

After Shoddy updated, it gave me this "unable to launch" application pop-up, or something in notepad titled "hs_err_pid" pops up on my desktop, and its a long description of "there's been in error on shoddy battle.. etc". But then, I updated my java, and it works fine. NOW, It's doing the exact same thing, I've tried restarting, re-installing shoddy, etc. The internet connections says it's firewalled (but obviously my internet works fine, and shoddy has ran under this.) I checked the trojan thread, but the ISP thing wouldn't open, probably cause it's firewalled. Anyone wanna help?
 
Does the random battle problem still happen to everyone? Is it just macs? Has attention been paid to it by colin etc. or will it just be fixed in SB2?

I'm pretty sure is that you both just need default teams set.

And since SB2 will have a new coding from scratch, Colin said it would be fixed.
 
Red Gyarados, when you run a server, the host is the IP address that allows everybody to be able to connect to the server through that IP address. I don't think that a website will be a useful host.
 
Would it be possible to run a server on my website host? What is needed of it?

The short answer is that you'll only be able to run Shoddy on your hosting if you have a VPS or (semi)dedicated account.

Most shared hosting accounts, even if they have Java installed, don't provide SSH access or allow you to run a process that lasts longer than around a minute, so it won't work.

VPS plans are pretty pricey but they're the equivalent of a full virtual so anything you can do on your own computer, you should be able to do on them, including run Shoddy.
 
Is there an easy way to implement an AI in Shoddy? There's a "BattleBot" on one server, i think. Are there hooks from which a separate AI program can be called?
 
There are a few files in the CVS repository that demonstrate how to make a bot. The base of the thing is BotClient, while you can see an example of a battling bot in BattleBot. You can also see EdgarBot for an even simpler bot. They are both pretty crude. Those files are located here

Because a VPS is the equivalent of a real computer, any VPS plan with sufficient memory / CPU will do. Look for one with Ubuntu though as that makes installing Java easy, although any OS you are comfortable with will do.
 
Sorry if the question sounds pretty noobish to who knows the answer but...

Once you downloaded and installed the shoddy server package, how can you mod it? I mean, how can I modify datas inside the server like mechanics, Pokémon available and so on?
 
I got a new computer and I didn't want to remake all my teams and pokemon. Is there a way to transfer my entire box as a file? I see that there's an export as txt button, but i dont see a corresponding import from txt function
 
You could try to let a friend of yours create them on his Computer, then let him give them to you. Or, go to some site which uploads Shoddy teams, put it there, then take the file back.
 
Why can't you just copy the team files onto a USB drive or CD or something? If you can't do that, you could always just make a .zip of all of your teams and upload it to rapidshare or megaupload or some similar site.
 
so there is no option to transport my entire box? darn, maybe shoddy 2 can have somehting like that

i guess ill just transfer team by team

thanks for the help

Any mods other than adding existing moves or abilities to existing pokemon, which can be accomplished using a .patch file (I believe some examples are in the server pack), require you to mod the source code.

You need to download the new code from CVS (not the old zipped archive), make your changes and then rebuild the .jar file, a procedure which is undocumented and needs you to be familiar with Java programming and Netbeans/Eclipse.
