Re: Adding robots .jar file to /robocode/robots does not add robot to list

Hi Fu,

I am not sure I understand the problem, you are struggling with.
First of all, Robocode will look out for robots (jar files) in the default
robot directory. You can change this directory by setting the ROBOTPATH
environment property, e.g. by adding:
-DROBOTPATH=<your file path> to the java command-line options. See more
information here: http://robowiki.net/wiki/Robocode/Console_Usage

Secondly, your robot does not have to be under the sample package, just
because the sample robots use this package.
You can chose what ever package you want. But typically, the Robot Packager
of Robocode will make a package name for you based on your initials/handle
and Robot/Team name + version.

You should be able to specify which robots to participate in a battle by
using their fully qualified name, e.g. fnl.Rampage_1.0
(

)

Best regards,
- Flemming
