Solved!
It is working now. The problem was the tcl script does not
pass all remaining parameters to the called application
(gnugo in the example). To solve this, the command line
should be delimited with a quote " char.
tcl cgos3.tcl testingTCL password "E:\\GO\\PROGRAMS\\GnuGo\\gnugo37
--mode gtp --chinese-rules --capture-all-dead"
instead of:
tcl cgos3.tcl testingTCL password E:\\GO\\PROGRAMS\\GnuGo\\gnugo37
--mode gtp --chinese-rules --capture-all-dead
I repeat the corrected post:
----------------------------
1. Get TCL. There are many "flavors" with GUI, debugger etc.
The simplest, when you just need to run a Tk application
is something like:
http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tclkit-win32.upx.exe
This .exe is all you need, about 1M and without any annoyances,
installation, registry etc.
For simplicity: Rename tclkit-win32.upx.exe as tcl.exe
2. Get the .tcl client from CGOS.
http://cgos.boardspace.net/public/cgos3.zip
3. Modify the .tcl script to use the 19x19 server
# ... set server cgos.boardspace.net
set server cgos.lri.fr
# ... set port 6867
set port 6919
No other modification is necessary.
4. Create an account in CGOS. I remember having read that when you
use one for the first time, any name and password are valid
and then, you have to use the same password to continue using it.
So, for testing purposes, I use the account:
name: testingTCL
pass: password
5. Using gnugo for the sake of simplicity (just for the test),
gnugo37 --mode gtp --chinese-rules --capture-all-dead
should be a valid setting to play on CGOS.
Remember that you will loose lots of won games if your
program does not capture all the opponent's dead stones.
Chinese rules is mandatory as well.
6. Create a .bat file with:
tcl cgos3.tcl "testingTCL password E:\\GO\\PROGRAMS\\GnuGo\\gnugo37
--mode gtp --chinese-rules --capture-all-dead"
7. Run the .bat file wait for the next round. Your program should be
playing.
8. To supervise your program:
Download cgosview.exe from
http://cgos.boardspace.net/public/cgosview-windows.zip
Call it with these args: cgosview.exe cgos.lri.fr 6919
