#16 .NET Robocode bot loader fails to load shared assemblies

[Anonymous]

I would like to create a shared class library assembly with bot infrastracture code it in and reference this in other robot assemblies. When trying this the Robocode .NET loader throws exceptions and cannot load the assembly.

Hmm.. I seems to be related to security, as Robocode does not allow robots to access other files (e.g. libraries) etc. on the system - both due to security, but also because it is seen a cheating (rules).

However, you could try to disable security by copying robocode.bat to e.g. robocode_no_security.bat and insert -DNOSECURITY as one of the first parameters right after the java command. This will tell Robocode to disable (most) security mechanisms on your local system. However, I am not sure if this works for the .NET plugin. But it is worth a try. If it is not possible, I think we should implement this feature for the .NET plugin, so the security manager works the same way in .NET as it does in the Java version, which the Robocode core is running on.

Please let me know if the -DNOSECURITY works or not. Thanks in advance. :-)
