For what it’s worth, I focused on getting the client.html file to work with Internet Explorer (which should still be available on Windows 7 and Windows 10). It was tricky to get client.html to talk to node.js which is needed for the sockets and the link to the backend Uberbot database. Last year we tried to get it to work with Edge and there were too many problems, hence my focus on IE. I also had a lot of help, without which I could not have made Uberbot work with the LPP v2 at all.
It was also difficult to make an installer. The Uberbot installer has to install the core DB software, the Uberbot DB, node.js and a whole load of javascript modules. It also has to supply all files on the transmittal media as we can’t download files from the internet. We also found some weird issues with the new protocol, in particular if we sent a “round information” message it crashed the contest server. I never had time to get to the bottom to file a Github error report.
Anyway I uploaded Uberbot to the dropbox so hopefully it will install OK. On a positive note the dropbox speed seemed much better this year.
I may give some thought to a new protocol (LPP v3) and submit my ideas in a separate thread.
PS: Don I just realized we joined chatbots.org on the same day, and you posted 10x more that I have!
