1) please post your logs

2) is the log mentioning your IP and PORT?
-- if so, I would recommend to try PUTTY over to that IP:PORT from the same machine as you're trying to connect your bot from to confirm that it is truly not a firewall issue,
protocol of GB2004 is very simplistic

received -> HELLO_BOT
send (newline at the end) bunch of messages
send periodic batch of messages about navpoints/items your bot can see

Cheers!

It has much more but it repeats this part for 2 or 3 times.

My server is defined like this:
name : ut2004
URI: gb04://192.168.1.132:3001
automatically fills the map part with the TrainingDay.

>> Exception in thread "main" ComponentCantStartException[UT2004BotSmartBot1: Can't start: ComponentBusSmartBot1-3 at 192.168.1.134

Looks like the IP address has been passed to the Java, but...,

>> Caused by: ConnectionExceptionLogCategory(Connection): java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect (127.0.0.1:3000)

UT2004Runner settings has been overriden as it is trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:3000

How does your Java main() method looks like?

Is something like new UT2004Runner().setHost().setPort() in there?

Cheers!
Jimmy

Hi!

My main looks like:

public static void main(String args[]) throws PogamutException {
new UT2004BotRunner( // class that wrapps logic for bots executions, suitable to run single bot in single JVM
SmartBot.class, // which UT2004BotController it should instantiate
"SmartBot" // what name the runner should be using
).setMain(true) // tells runner that is is executed inside MAIN method, thus it may block the thread and watch whether agent/s are correctly executed
.startAgent(); // tells the runner to start 1 agent

// It is easy to start multiple bots of the same class, comment runner above and uncomment following
// new UT2004BotRunner(SmartBot.class, "SmartBot").setMain(true)
//.startAgents(8); // tells the runner to start 3 agents at once
}

Could it be something from the config fileS?

Then it sounds like a bug to me.

NB Plugin should start the JVM with -D switches specifying host/port where to connect which should be given more priority then any *.property file.

I will investigate that.

Best,
Jakub

Really? I don't think it's a bug but i don't understand pogamut enough to try to help.

Anyone should've tried to connect to remote server before me and if it's not working since then we would have know it, right?

Honestly, I have not been connecting to any remote servers recently (~ 6 months back), usually Pogamut users are using localhost, so it cannot be anybody I guess

Jimmy

Thanks xDD

I'll try to investigate too.

Joan Marc.

You can always try to "debug" the project from NetBeans, place breakpoint in the .startAgent() method and see for yourself right away! ;-)

Cheers,
Jimmy

Hi!
i'll try this last comment!
