Hello Fulvio,
Thanks for your tips. Unfortunately they didn't work on my machine
(Windows XP, Servicepack 3).
I used the newer version of Phalanx and also created a Stockfish-toga as
recommended. When I try to play a tactical game I get the error message
"Please choose the correct Phalanx engine".
When I insist on playing a tactical game, that means clicking on play
again in the "Configure tactical game" menu I get an "Applikationsfehler"
(does this translate to "application error" in Windows language?).
The error reads as follows:
window name "fdockcoachWin" already exists in parent
window name "fdockcoachWin" already exists in parent
while executing
"frame $f -container 1"
(procedure "createToplevel" line 25)
invoked from within
"createToplevel $w"
(procedure "::tacgame::play" line 73)
invoked from within
"::tacgame::play"
invoked from within
".configWin.fbuttons.close invoke "
invoked from within
".configWin.fbuttons.close instate !disabled { .configWin.fbuttons.close
invoke } "
invoked from within
".configWin.fbuttons.close instate pressed { .configWin.fbuttons.close
state !pressed; .configWin.fbuttons.close instate !disabled {
.configWin.fbutton..."
(command bound to event)
I also tried to use the chess engines from Scid 4.10, the latest Scid
version in Windows where the tactical game feature works on my machine.
Scid 4.6.0 doesn't comment on the engine's version but it nevertheless
stops with an error message. Here it reads:
invalid command name ".analysisWin2.hist.text"
invalid command name ".analysisWin2.hist.text"
while executing
"$h configure -state normal"
(procedure "changePVSize" line 9)
invoked from within
"changePVSize 2"
(procedure "::tacgame::play" line 118)
invoked from within
"::tacgame::play"
invoked from within
".configWin.fbuttons.close invoke "
invoked from within
".configWin.fbuttons.close instate !disabled { .configWin.fbuttons.close
invoke } "
invoked from within
".configWin.fbuttons.close instate pressed { .configWin.fbuttons.close
state !pressed; .configWin.fbuttons.close instate !disabled {
.configWin.fbutton..."
(command bound to event)
Am I the only one with these problems on a Windows XP machine? Or am I
just the only one who still uses Windows XP ;-)?
Thanks for any help
All the best
Werner
