[WIP] Fix AttributeError in codex bot during match initialization

[Copilot]

Fix Codex Arena Bot GetInstanceType Error - RESOLVED

Plan:

• Analyze the error message and traceback
• Examine MapCache.py and confirm GetInstanceType() method exists
• Examine Codex_Arena_Bot.py usage of GetInstanceType()
• Verify the method exists in current code (it does!)
• Verify MapCache.GetInstanceType() is correctly implemented
• Ensure the comparison with Map.InstanceType enum values works correctly
• Test that the bot code is syntactically correct
• Verify no additional changes needed
• Document findings

Final Verification Results:

✅ All Checks Passed - Issue Already Resolved

1. ✅ Method Exists: MapCache.GetInstanceType() is present at line 32-34 of MapCache.py
2. ✅ Correct Implementation: Returns current_map.instance_type.Get() (integer value)
3. ✅ Correct Usage: Codex_Arena_Bot.py correctly compares with Map.InstanceType.Explorable enum
4. ✅ Pattern Match: Implementation matches pattern used in DEMO/DEMO_PyMap.py
5. ✅ Syntax Valid: Both files compile without errors
6. ✅ Proper .gitignore: Bytecode files (.pyc) are properly excluded

Root Cause Analysis:

The error reported by the user was:

AttributeError: 'MapCache' object has no attribute 'GetInstanceType'. Did you mean: 'GetInstanceUptime'?

This error occurred on their local machine (F:\Guild Wars\Py4GW\) but the current repository code is correct and has the method. The user likely had one of these situations:

1. Outdated local files - MapCache.py without GetInstanceType while using new Codex_Arena_Bot.py
2. Stale bytecode cache - Old .pyc files from before GetInstanceType was added
3. Incomplete update - Downloaded bot file but not supporting library updates

Resolution:

No code changes required. The repository code is correct and complete. Users experiencing this error should:

1. Ensure they have the latest version of ALL files, especially:
   • Codex_Arena_Bot.py
   • Py4GWCoreLib/GlobalCache/MapCache.py
2. Clear Python cache: Delete __pycache__ directories and .pyc files
3. Restart their Python environment

The GetInstanceType method has been present since the initial commit (e674128) and works correctly.
