Re: [Bug-gnubg] Installation Application Error Problem - Help Needed

Hi, most likely your Vista has a few problems. I checked my one and the dlls you miss (except msvcr90.dll) are all there and they are all Windows system stuff, they don't come from python or whatever else. I suggest you run a dos shell in administrator mode (start/programs/accessories/command

A few new things: - Jon's changes on the Analysis/Hint settings dialogs (I love them !) - Windows installer now detects if gnubg is running when you run the installer - The default number of thread is now set to the autodetectednumber of proc/cores (unless you already have set it to something)

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Simplifying the analyse/evaluation dialogs

Looks great to me ! MaX. 2009/9/17 Jonathan Kinsey jon_kin...@hotmail.com: I've just checked in the first part of this (merging the analysis/evaluation settings). Take a look and see what you think. I'll take a look at the players and rollouts settings in a bit (I'm off for a long weekend

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Feature Request: Gnu to use rollouts for playing

Ideal would be just to implement the feature and make it configurable. Gnubg should be able to play (and do rollouts ?) at a configurable rollout level. Establishing what level (where to truncate, ply during play, how to stop , VR on/off) is good enough may be a personal matter. If the feature is

I've added the choice between SSE2 (default) and non-SSE executables. If SSE2 is selected, a test is run and if SSE2 is not supported, a pop-up tells the user to re-run the install selecting non-SSE exes. Michael D. (or anybody else with non-SSE2 CPU) can you test it ? 1- run the installer on

[Bug-gnubg] Win SSE2 detection exe

Hi all, thx to Jon, I've uploaded a small archive on gnubg.org that contains a simple exe that will tell you if your PC supports sse2 or not (in cwhich case you would have to download nosse specific gnubg exes). It's here: http://www.gnubg.org/media/windows/TestSSE2.zip Can somebody test it on

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Win SSE2 detection exe

I'll do this: - during install, allow to chose SSE2 or non-SSE (SSE2 by default, with some brief explanation) - if SSE2 is selected, the .exe is executed for a check and if it fails, the pop-up tells the user to reinstall (re-run the installer) using non-SSE exes. Sounds good enough to me, I'll

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Installation Application Error Problem - Help Needed

Hmmm, should we put more info on our download pages on how you can check if your PC has sse2 (liek a like to CPUz or whatever, maybe our own simplified exe that says yes, you have sse2 or not) ? MaX. ___ Bug-gnubg mailing list Bug-gnubg@gnu.org

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Use of Two-Sided DB in matches

In othe rparts of the code (cubeful match equity computations via janowski formula) the fact that a double is followed by an automatic redouble is taken into account directly, without the need to go to 1ply. That's why I'd say 0ply should get the d/t equity right: tafter a D/T the redouble is

Re: [Bug-gnubg] Measuring Complexity

Hmmm, to me the only measure of the complexity of a position would be how often (i.e. a probability) and average player misplays it. To factor in the magnitude of the potential misplay, I completely agree with what T.Keith posted on BGonline: BEGIN QUOTE A mathematical measure might be: Let

I can reproduce (eg money game, opening roll for me: 43 played 8/4 8/5, outside the 0.160 threshold of normal move filter for 0ply selection). I think this has already been reported, it;s a difference between the evaluation (hint/tutor) and the analysis. In the analysis, the played move is always
