[Bug-gnubg] Save position as HTML
Hi, just downloaded a new version of gnubg (0.90-mingw 20090518). Tried do save a position in HTML format. But no file is produced. I tried it in a couple of directories, but it does not work.

[Bug-gnubg] Predicted time for finishing the rollout
Hi everyone, don't know whether this has ever been discussed here. If so, disregard my mail. When you conduct a rollout and find out that the result is not significant enough and resume this rollout with more trials, the time prediction how long this rollout will last is of no use. I think GNUBG is calculating the remaining time from how long it took to reach the previous rollout. As the rollout started with the previous result, it took GNUBG 0 (zero) seconds to reach this amount of trials. So if I prolong a 1296 trials rollout to 2592 trials GNUBG is predicting that the rollout will be finished in a couple of seconds. However it's going to take hours (of course). Perhaps another algorithm could be used to calculate the remaining time more accurate. (There are more important features, but as I do many rollouts, it's sometimes helpful how long a rollout is going to take approximately.)

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Backgammon .txt format
Hi John, I think you are mixing up three different things. 1) This one: GNU Backgammon Position ID: 4NvBwQDgc8UBMA Match ID : cAkA +24-23-22-21-20-19--18-17-16-15-14-13-+ O: Weiss | X O | | O O X | 0 points | X O | | O O X | | O | | O X | | O | | | | O | | | | |BAR| |v (Cube: 1) | X | | | | X | | | | X | | X O | | X | | O X O | On roll | X | | O X X X O | 0 points +-1--2--3--4--5--6---7--8--9-10-11-12-+ X: Schwarz This is not an input format for GNUBG, but an ASCII-output, with which you can display a position as a text file (i.e. in a newsgroup like rec.games.backgammon). It's not possible to import a position from that text (only by copypasting the Position Match ID to GNUBG). 2) This one: 17 point match Game 1 Hans Kr.

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Backgammon .txt format
Sorry to say, but there is no format for a single position, that is compatible with GNUBG, SNOWIE and JellyFish. Cheers, Hardy John schrieb: All I want to achieve is a text file (or some other file format that they'll all recognise) that's importable by Snowie, Jellyfish and GNUBG that'll describe a position, cube and score in a match. The user can then use one of those 3 programs to analyse the position etc. The Jellyfish format is a history of the moves that create the end position. I just want the end position.

[Bug-gnubg] Export error for JellyFish mat-files
Hi everyone, I still use the mat-format frequently to archive matches. I just recognized a bug of gnubg (both 0.15 and 0.16) when exporting matches into mat format under the following condition: One player still has some chances, rolls his dice, doesn't roll the required rolls and resigns after rolling without having moved his checkers. The sgf-file will contain the rolled dice and the resignation. The exported mat file however does not show the rolled dice. Instead the mat file will contain the dice and moves done by the _other_ play before. Here a little example from a match of this year's World Championship (thanks, ace): That's how game 1 was actually played.

[Bug-gnubg] Settings for different instances of gnubg
I use to run gnubg with different settings to analyze positions. First I run a quick and dirty analysis, if the results are close, I perform other, more time consuming rollouts. To have those settings ready set, I used to install gnubg in different instances on my computer, every instance with a predefined set of settings. With the current 0.16 build, the different instances seem to share the same file to remember settings. So if I have all instances running with g11 MET and I want to change it just for one instance to MEC26, the settings for all other instances of gnubg (which I want to keep on g11) change to MEC26 as well. Thats not the way I was used to at the previous builds. And it's not the way I would want it. An alternative would be, to be able to save all settings and be able to simply change from one set of user-defined settings to another by just one button. In that case one installation of gnubg would be sufficient.

Not able to test it, and I know there are problems in this area, it might work (or not - or just run the commands and exit...). You could then have some shortcuts which start gnubg with different settings. Thanks Jon for this hint. The main question for me is, however, whether it is really wanted, that gnubg stores it's settings in a global file that is shared by all other installed gnubg. I tried to explain, why different settings are important for me. The earlier versions did it perfect, but with 0.16 a new feature is invented, which I don't like at all. Do we really want that all 0.16 installations share the same settings?

[Bug-gnubg] 0.16 - Language Settings get lost
Hi, I am presently testing GNUBG 0.16. One problem presently: I want to convince GNUBG to start up with the English language, but it always starts in German. When I select Language in the menue, it displays that already English (UK) is chosen as language. So I can't change it, although GNUBG is running in German. I can select English (USA) and GNUBG then changes into English. From English (USA) I can switch to English (UK). If I then say Save settings I sometimes get an error, that this is already the chosen (and saved) language preference, sometimes I don't get an error. If I then close GNUBG and start it again, it starts up with German language. Again and again. I am running GNUBG (0.16 mingw - build Apr 23 2007) without MT, on a Windows XP system. I am running different GNUBG versions, installed in different directories.

Will also investigate how stable 0.16 runs on my system and let you all know. Thanks a lot!!!

[Bug-gnubg] Installation problem - 0.16 instead the wanted 0.15
Hi all, having updated my GNUBG I wanted to use the stable 0.15 version (for Windows). When downloading from the site http://www.gnubg.org/index.php?itemid=56, I receive a file gnubg-0.15-stable-20061119-setup.exe, but after installation and starting of that software, it is the 0.16 version that's actually running. And it crashes _very_ often. Therfore I'd rather prefer the 0.15 version. Where do I get this file? And why is 0.16 running after installing gnubg-0.15-stable-20061119-setup.exe?

[Fwd: Re: [Bug-gnubg] Installation problem - 0.16 instead the wanted 0.15]
Thanks Christian, my main confusion is, that I did a absolutly NEW, FRESH installation of GNUBG (supposed to be 0.15): Deleted the older versions before, installed the file gnubg-0.15-stable-20061119-setup.exe, which I got from the download section of the GNUBG website, from the link that was pointing to the 0.15 stable version. And the programm that is running after that installation is version 0.16!!??!!?? So your downgrade hints don't help me much :-( The download archive for the 0.15 version (on the windows download site) seems to contain 0.16 elements! I did not keep track on when GNUBG crashes, but will do from now on. I do a lot of conversions from matches, that I have in HTML-format into computer readable format. Therfore I use GNUBG a lot for recording moves. Going back and forth sometimes uses crashing of GNUBG. Especially when I want to correct the first move in a new game, GNUBG is crashing of freezes and all moves recorded before are lost. Try to describe it more detailled after experiencing another crash.
