Hi all,
Since a few weeks I get the error message "Locale 'system' not supported by C
library." at GNUbg startup. I see a similar message at startup of other GNU
software...
Anyone knows how to solve this issue?
I use Windows 10 64bit (English languange), and GNU Backgammon version
1.06.002-m
Hi
Philippe, yes this fixed my reported problems. Greetings

Dear all,
The latest version (1.06.001, December 16th, 2017, released for MS Windows)
crashes on startup when I use resolution 1920x1200 or 1680x1050.
If I use 1440x900 or 800x600 all seems fine.
I use Win7, i5-4460, Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600.
I hope this gives some hints.
Thanks for all the
LS,
first of all, thanks for all your contributions to GNU Backgammon. It is still
my favorite BG program.

an
expert, so 0.010 noise is more suitable for the 'expert' preset, etc.
Bottom line is, GNU backgammon noise levels for the presets are too high,
particularly for intermediate/casual player/beginner.

gammons into account, I assume you make moves that maximize
"prob(W) + 2 * prob(GW)", so different moves are made.
Anyway, it might be senseful to check my PUBEVAL implementation once again.

i have a net that won 67.5% out of 20k matches.
It has 40 hidden units and relatively simple inputs (dummies for 1, 2 and more

note: it doesnt have a notion of gammons yet. Does this make it less

Hmmm, when i start the script it still doesn't play on -- it just plays the
opening move and then it quits. See log file below...
Maybe there's still an option i've forgotten?
(BTW, when started from the gui, it plays until the end)
My script looks like:
set rng mersenne 1
set aut

set player You gnubg
new match 21
If i add a line with 'play' after the 'new match' line, it makes one move
though, but I would like it to play it until the end.

Hi,
I dont think it has anything to do with a region becuase it also happens when
you edit a position and choose the dice for the (on my settings) right player
instead of the left player. (But not if I switch from the right player to the
left player(!))

What exactly are the requirements to participate? What format will the matches
be and how much time does it take approximately? Are there any costs involved?
Did anyone from the GNUbg team respond yet?

I have the same problem, but it happens quite rarely.
It happens (as far as I know) only after resuming from hybernation, and I think

Note that the bots played one pointers only. I do not know how noise for cube

Furthermore, I think its strength is 5-10 points higher than indicated due
to droppers/unfinished games.
