[robocup-msrs] changing the number of Robudog players inthesimulator

[Dom Larkin]

I just corrected line 90 (in the section that loads the simulation engine)
on my "robudog.fourrobudog.manifest.xml" to reflect using the
"robudog.fourrobudogplayers.state.xml" instead of the
"robudog.fourplayers.state.xml".

The simulation was loading some state from the older manifest.

This correction seems to significantly decrease the amount of time it takes
for the simulation to start. No negative side effects yet.

I am still getting four dogs, but it is less annoying when things load
faster.

Thanks Nikos for pointing that out.

  Hi Dom and Nikos,
  If I understand your questions correctly, you are trying to prevent the
dogs from even appearing on the simulator.  We don't have an answer for that
yet either.

    Hi all,

    I am experiencing the same: even when I comment out all but one robot
    in the manifest and modify the referee manifest, all services are
    still loaded. It would be nice if there is a way to avoid this
    programmatically.

    BTW, there is some confusion in the names of manifests for the
    robudog. The correct one (last version) seems to be
    simulatedsoccer.robudog.fourrobudogplayers.manifest.xml
    and not this one
    simulatedsoccer.robudog.fourplayers.manifest.xml
    The only difference is that the latter is using the simplesoccerplayer
    service where as the former is using the simplerobudogsoccerplayer.

    Even more confusing is the fact that the correct manifest is loading
    from the old manifest
    simulatedsoccer.robudog.fourplayers.state.xml
    and not from the new one
    simulatedsoccer.robudog.fourrobudogplayers.state.xml

    Andrew, in your manifest you are using
    <dssp:Contract>
http://schemas.microsoft.com/robotics/2007/02/simplesoccerplayer.html</dssp:
Contract>
    which seems to use the simplesoccerplayer instead of the
    simplerobudogsoccerplayer. Have you found a way to avoid loading the
    other robot services programmatically?

    cheers
    Nikos
