[computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!
I have released a new version of Drago (3.01) which can be interfaced with MoGo. It can be downloaded at http://www.godrago.net . It makes available fixed and free handicap, undo, scoring and starting from any position. The issue described by Dave should be corrected.

Re: [computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!
Hello Giles, I downloaded the latest version of Drago (which includes the "LibKombilo.dll" file that someone mentioned), copied in your patch, and played Mogo for a few moves. It seems to work OK. YAY! I'll mention this here, since others might encounter it. There is a small race condition problem in the latest (patched and unpatched) version of Drago that wasn't there in earlier versions. If you set Mogo to play white, and then quickly make your first move as black, Drago will hang until you select "Cancel" from the menu. It does the same thing with my engine. Drago blocks the player from trying to move while the engine is thinking about?its own?move. But apparently?he is -not- blocked from moving when Drago should be waiting for the engine to respond to a command like "name." So if the player moves while the engine is still busy reading its initialization files, Drago gets stuck. Gnugo initializes so quickly that the player probably couldn't click a button fast enough to "win" this ?race. - Dave Hillis -Original Message- From: Gilles Arcas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: computer-go@computer-go.org Sent: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 7:15 pm Subject: [computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!

Re: [computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!
Thank you Sylvain! It works fine for me. A very good sparring strong and so different in style! You mean that with the .dll in WINDOWS\system32 that goes further? I thought that the .dll in the same directory as the .exe was enough. Copy/pasting from Microsoft's API reference: " The function searches for the file in the following sequence: 1. The directory from which the application loaded. 2. The current directory. 3. Windows 95: The Windows system directory. Use the GetSystemDirectory function to get the path of this directory. Windows NT: The 32-bit Windows system directory. Use the GetSystemDirectory function to get the path of this directory. The name of this directory is SYSTEM32. 4. Windows NT: The 16-bit Windows system directory. There is no Win32 function that obtains the path of this directory, but it is searched. The name of this directory is SYSTEM. 5. The Windows directory. Use the GetWindowsDirectory function to get the path of this directory. 6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable. " The priority is only important if there is more than one version of the file. Placing the "file that works ok" in the same path as the application is good practice. This makes the program work fine without modifying the system anyhow. Jacques. ___ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/

I have uploaded a patch for using MoGo with Drago: > www.godrago.net/DragoForMogoPatch.zip. The zip contains an exe file which > should replace the one from the current Drago install. Why is it only a patch for MoGo? Is it only a change to handle stderr in a good way? As MoGo does not implement the GTP command final_result, an error message is > displayed at the end of the game and the user must count the result. (By > the > way, is there a problem with 'final_status_list alive' ?) I don't about all those GTP commands. MoGo implements a subset of GTP which is enough for cgos, KGS and gogui. For the scoring, of course cgos is the minimal :), but the scoring works very well on KGS and gogui. I don't know which commands they send, but it seems enough :). Yet, it would be good for MoGo to support Drago as it seems pretty trivial to do so, I will at some point look into it (without giving a date :)).

I tried to start this version of Drago, and got an error message regarding a missing libkombilo.dll I do have an earlier version of Drago which works, modulo the problems with Mogo.

Re: [computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!
Sylvain, There is nothing to apologize for. Writing to stderr is fine. Putting the .dll in the same directory is fine. Mogo does work from the command line. No error message. I can recreate the symptoms with my own engine by adding an extraneous?"printf." "fprintf(stderr," does not cause problems. Whether it gives an error message or not beyond the "abort" depends on what I print. It could be that there are some?stray printf's, not directed to stderr, somewhere in Mogo. It seems to happen in response to genmove (perhaps when reporting the time) and also when reading the opening file. I can delay the abort by running with "--useOpeningDatabase 0" but only until the first "genmove." Mogo responds to some other commands like "name", "version", "komi", "boardsize", "clear_board", and "play", without problems. - Dave Hillis -Original Message----- From: Sylvain Gelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: computer-go Sent: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 4:03 am Subject: Re: [computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!

Re: [computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!
Sylvain, First, congratulations for all you have accomplished in computer go and for keeping such a good attitude while doing so. I hold out the hope that you will come back another day with more ideas. (It would be?understandable if you were maybe just a little bit sick of computer go right now anyway.) Second, thanks for releasing the binaries and supporting multiple platforms, which is a pain. I am trying to get the windows binary to work under Drago. http://www.godrago.net Drago works well for Gnugo and also for my program. Mogo starts but then exits prematurely with a message from Drago "abnormal termination of engine". It should be running in the right directory where it can find its opening files and the dll. It does the same thing whether I start it with --9 or --19 or --useOpeningDatabase 0. If I give it?malformed input, I get an error message, through Drago,?telling me to start with "--9" or "--19".? One thing, when I run it from the command line, it spits out a lot of non-gtp format diagnostic information even with the setting "--dontDisplay 1". That would upset some clients, including probably Drago, although I'd expect different symptoms if that were the only problem. I put an extra?copy of cygwin1.dll in the "WINDOWS\system32" directory, so mogo can find it from anywhere and I used "--9 --time 12 --useOpeningDatabase 0 --dontDisplay 1". That got it connected to Drago and actually set up a game. But it terminates as soon as it gets a genmove comand. It creates a logfile in the directory where it is supposed to be running. There is one line that says "MoGo GTP log file." My best guess, right now, is that the non-gtp diagnostic messages are causing trouble. I'll look at it some more when I have time. - Dave Hillis -Original Message- From: Sylvain Gelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: computer-go Sent: Mon, 17 Sep 2007 6:27 pm Subject: [computer-go] Update of MoGo binary release, and windows version available!
