Terrarium Help.

Hi,

I need help.

I am a newbe to terrarium and it looks interesting.
But All what I can read on the internet concerning Terrarium looks a long time ago. No recent post I mean, or at the farm... or I look at the wrong place. (Where is everybody )

I see 10 peers, All LED's are green, but I never receive a creature from other peers.
I can't introduce my own creature, I get a message "Terrarium is experience some server problems. Please try again later.".
I connect to http://www.terrariumgame.net/Terrarium, it is the only server I know. Are their other servers available

Hello,

That's great!! I am glad to read that the terrarium is not completely dead. I will join the terrarium.

Thanks a lot!

I hope you can help, I've been looking for documentation on how to get the server running on my PC (I'm behind a firewall here so can't use web servers) and can't find anything. How do I set up a Terrarium server

Thanks

Wow, I had messed with Terrarium briefly WAY back when it was first introduced. Just today I ran across it again and have been trying in vain to make it work for most of the afternoon. Does anyone actually have it running

I found out I had to add

<Assembly: OrganismClass("VBCreatures.MyHerb")>

But I still get;

"Your organism VBCreatures.MyHerb could not be found in the assembly. Please make sure this class exists"

my namespace is 'VBCreatures'
my class is 'MyHerb'

You can download the install here. If you have any specific questions, feel free to post them in this forum.

Thanks for the reply! I managed to get it up and running finally and have been connected to David's server since then. Here comes the next round of questions:

a)It took me forever to figure out I needed to be compiling in .net 1.1. I have been using 2.0 and VS 2005. Now.... After reinstalling VS2003 again, I can't get the VB code to compile. It always fails on the Assembly statement. I *can* compile in C# but my skills there are much less proficient.

b) I'm starting slow, with a plant. Is there *anything* code wise you can change with a plant

The server at terrariumgame.net has been "dead" for a long time. I'm running a server at www.davidandangela.ws/Terrarium which you are welcome to use. There aren't that many clients (2 or 3 at a time) so don't expect much.

Hi David,

At the moment i cant insert a new critter in the eco-system of your server.

The server throws an soap exception stating that the event log file is full.
Hope i can join you guys soon,

TIA,
Nico Schoemaker.

Hi. I just joined too but i keep getting an error

"You must define 'OrganicClassAttribute' attribute on your organism"

None of the examples i've seen so far have anything similar and adding OrganicClassAttribute in VB gives me an error also;

"Attribute 'OrganismClassAttribute' cannot be applied to 'SimpleHerbivore' because the attribute is not valid on this declaration type."

Can anyone help.

Funny you should say that. I happened upon Terrium yesterday and am very interested in participating becasue 1) I NEED to learn how WindowsForms work so I can make applications look 'DotNettie" and I come from vb6, so ALL this is new to me, 2) I've recently developed a strong interest in AI and A-life, so I want to experiment.

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting things to work. I can't get past the whole NAT issue that allows peers to load locally I'm not a networking whiz, as you can tell. I can't set up the client program at home (through cable modem and router) or at work (yes, my bosses will be highly impressed) via who knows what type of networking.

Is there someone out there who can explain the whole Port 5000000000 stuff, and get me up and running Since I'm generally at work (I am a programmer), I can only try things at home when I can, so this process may take a while.

I'd appreciate some assistance. I'd be suprised if others aren't in the same boat.

Thanks!

a) I probably can't help with VB .Net, since I'm proficient in C# and have no inclination to even mess with VB .Net. However, I'm thinking that you might be running into a common VB problem. VB gives you a default namespace that you have to change / remove in order to get the sample to compile.

b) No, "coding" a plant consists of extending Plant and setting some attributes. That's it.
