E
Startup operations
It is assumed here that you previously read the second manual of the documention entitled Tutorial
(i.e., the file Tutorial.pdf) and that you are familiar with the operation of MASS. Running MASS
launches the CORE, which executes the start initialization that we describe below.
E.1
Default initialization
At startup, the CORE executes the function calls display in Script 5 below. These actions are
transparent for the user. All these functions are executed to initialize (before any simulation) all arrays
from default data read in files or in registries. For instance, LoadMissionDLLs, LoadLibrary… are
called by OnInitialUpdate. At the end of this initialization phase, the CORE stays pending until the
user selects a scenario. The initialization comprises:
The construction of the agent and obstacle arrays.
The definition of the agent missions and strategies from the mission scripts (see Manual 3
entitled DLLs Manual), and from data stored in the registry base of Windows.
The construction of the learning engine, if learning is activated.

E.2
Scenario loading
Following the default initialization described in section E.1, you must load a scenario prior to
running any simulation. All scenarios are stored in XML files with the extension MAS. There are 2
methods to load a scenario:
Method 1: Run MASS, then click the "File" item of the menu, and select a recent file in the dialog box
splashed by these actions. This procedure directly displays in MASS the intial distributions
of the selected scenario. The following function calls are executed in this case.
CAGNTApp::OnOpenRecentFile
