please update compet-n archive to 2014-09-09

Hi fraggle,

it seems to me that the output file collection in the output/ directory is rather outdated. Zvonimir has uploaded an updated complete demo pack:

That is rather old too, I'll update it later today and provide link.

Also, we should maybe include some more obscure demos like the ones here:

Great, thank you Zvonimir!

Regarding the "odd demos", I have seen that most of them don't play through a map but stop at a certain point to show some "odd" effect. We would thus need a different measure than level exit statistics to evaluate compatibility for them.

I was going to update the expected output with the demo set that @fx02 provided, but failed. All ./vanilla-process does is print the following lines:

$ ./statcheck/vanilla-process 
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/greffrath/statcheck/plutonia/OUT0.TXT'
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/greffrath/statcheck/plutonia/OUT2.TXT'
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/greffrath/statcheck/plutonia/OUT4.TXT'
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/greffrath/statcheck/plutonia/OUT6.TXT'
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/greffrath/statcheck/plutonia/OUT8.TXT'
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/greffrath/statcheck/plutonia/OUT10.TXT'

Please, I need instructions what to do...

You need setups of dosbox, the DOS Vanilla installs etc. It's complicated to explain and I'll probably miss something.

So it's probably easiest if I do this - I want to update the archive.org copy of the compet-n archive anyway.

I've got all of this, but probably not in the right places. Actually, I think it might be a racing condition. If I run e.g. cd statcheck/plutonia; dosbox -exit run0.bat it succeeds and creates the OUT0.TXT file. But it doesn't work from the script... :(
