[Bug-gnubg] Next Windows Release

2013-04-05 Thread Michael Petch
Howdy, I had tagged the current head as release-0_91_001 a few days ago. This includes changes Philippe Michel made to the neural nets, and a fix to the asymmetric MET processing. I've been using this for a few days, and everything seems fine. It compiles without issue on Ubuntu and Windows and do

Thanks for the tips.. I just thought it would be easier to set up positons if gnu could allow you to simply specify "I'm bearing off in this (bottom left) corner" rather than having to go into settings and switch each player's colour. We communicate something like this when we set up a given posit

Glad you've finally sorted it. You have to put the chequers on the board for the direction gnubg is set up to play. You can't put men on the 24-point and then tell gnubg that it should be the 1-point, and oh, these are the other guys men! First set up the direction of play, then put your chequ

I think I found a workaround but it wasn't really intuitive for me. I went into 'Settings' -> 'Board Appearance' -> Chequers(0) and Chequers(1) menus and swapped the colours of Player 1 and Player 2's pieces, then set up the chequers, names, cube, score, turn etc in gnubg from scratch. Red is now

>> Are you sure you have set up the position correctly? I'm pretty sure the 'position' (with regard to checkers) is set up correctly. It's getting gnu to accept the 'direction' of real life play that's the problem. I've attached a photo of the live game I am trying to reproduce in gnu. http://

Are you sure you have set up the position correctly? You/Wayne (red) are the top player, moving clockwise to the top right. Bob (white) is the bottom player, moving anti-clockwise to the bottom right. Look at the pip count! Are both sides playing monster back games? The chequers are arranged

>> The position posted shows White to play 3-2, not Red. Thanks again, I'm pretty sure player turn has been set to be red. Red (me) has rolled 3-2 in the move list (move #4). I've also attached a more detailed image of the GUI's red direction of play arrow indicator (circled next to the 1-poin

The position posted shows White to play 3-2, not Red. That's why the points are numbered from White's point of view. To change who is on roll, click the small chequer icon next to the players' names. Click the centre of the board to bring up the dice selection window (assuming you have chosen m

>> You can select the direction of play at any time with the Direction icon or, from the menu: View... Play Clockwise. Many thanks for your input Ian - I did already try that. It only seems to switch the 1 point between the *top* two corners. The situation I am trying to set up is 1. I am red

Choosing the direction of play is not part of Edit Mode. You can select the direction of play at any time with the Direction icon or, from the menu: View... Play Clockwise. Chequers always bear off into the tray nearest the 1 point. If you are editing the number of chequers borne off, then cli

Hi, Please can anyone help? Please see attached screenshot.. I'm red and I'm trying to work out how to choose to bear off my checkers in the *bottom right tray* but I can't seem to find a way. Edit mode seems to only allow me to bear off at the top left or right? The gnubg id is Position ID:
