Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

Taking like over 20 minutes here? What is up with this? the program crashed as i was editing our robot and then its gone. Says im logged in already. Im sure this is an easy fix. Implement a way for the server to know that the client has disconnected this way no more of this dumb hassle. Very frustrated with this program. If i were to rate it on a scale of 10, i would say 6/10. -4 for unreliablity. PC Specs (in case you want):

Core i7 2600K
16GB RAM
Radeon 6850 x 4
...thats pretty much all that matters.

EDIT: It's been 40 minutes and still the same error. The original computer that had the game is turned totally off and am trying this on a new machine yet still the same error. (And don't doubt the specs...thats not it).

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

It should be fixed now. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

How do you edit your robot while in multiplayer with a guest? I saw a post on your forum of high scorers with three people on a team, so I'm sure it's not impossible.

Really interested, thanks for the awesome tool! It will definitely help us.

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

Are you playing with two players on the keyboard? If so, the current format does not allow for two simultaneous keyboard players to edit robots. A stand alone keyboard player, or a keyboard and one controller will be able to edit individual robots.

More problems here... I only have Mac's at home currently, so I couldn't get it installed there (but that didn't stop me from trying it with some of my emulation tools...). So, I get into work today to give it a go, and it crashes at the very beginning of installation:

Running Win XP SP3 with a 2.83 GHz Xeon and 3.25 GB RAM (4 GB, minus what XP needs to do the extended addressing as a 32 bit system).

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

eagle33199, according to the error message you posted it looks like your web filter blocked the setup.exe from accessing the actual installation files stored on Dropbox. You could try disabling the filter while the game instals or try installing while on a different network. As you know, we do not expect for Macs to be able to run the game. However if you are successful at installing and running the game, please let us know what you used and how you did it so that we can offer this information to other Mac users who wish to play the game.

Is there a way to add joystick support? It would be nice to start a little bit of driver practice ahead of time and we aren't going to use xbox 360 controllers to drive our robot.

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

Right now, the only controller that the game supports is the Xbox 360 controller. Adding more support for other controllers is something we would like to change in the future so that teams can use the joysticks that come in the KOP.

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

Darn! Unfortunately, I don't have access to the webfilter here at work, and I can't really take the computer home with me :(

I'll definitely let you know if I get it working on my mac, but don't hold your breath :p There are a lot of tools out there that try to emulate parts of Windows in order to allow you to run Windows programs on a Mac, its possible one of them will work...

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

I was on, ran through one game, and then the system wouldn't respond, so did a forced close. Now it will not let me login again, saying another computer is logged in. Unless someone on the team logged-in in the minute between closing it and trying to re-login, it still thinks my computer is logged in. I've been retrying for about 15 minutes so far. What is the time-out period to auto log off if not using the system?

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

My team uses it, but a downturn is that only one person per registered log in can use it at a time. It was a great program though, very helpfull.

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

I'm not sure I understand, could you clarify this please? Can the team download multiple times with one account, or can I as a student create an account and download it? Or perhaps what I mean is, does the team share the username and password or can everyone have their own log in?

When it asks about team contact, does that mean my name, or do I input the name of the team Coach?

Thank you.

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

Name doesn't really matter, all it's checking is team number and location. If those don't match it won't let you register.

And it can be downloaded on as many computers as you want, but with just one account per team. You cannot make more than one account per team, nor can you use the same account on two computers at the same time to my understanding (that doesn't matter too much as there's no networked multiplayer).

Out of curiosity, what engine are you using to run this? I'd assume XNA?
I'm working on my own simulator as I do everywhere and will be releasing a preview (that does not require you to register) shortly, using a different engine.

Also, the game still crashes after your "fix." What is happening is that I can download and install it, and it will run fine. If I click out and back into the window, it will crash. That's not the main issue.
If I try to log in, it crashes, without fail. I appreciate you guys putting time into this, but it's got some major compatibility issues. I've seen it work, and I don't know why it won't work for me. I don't have two monitors running. What do you suggest?

Re: 2012 Catalyst Simulator question
 

We've been having an issue for the last few days where it says that we are logged in on another computer. I have tried changing the password for the account but still it says we are logged in somewhere else.
