14 years agoadded option for work-around for some FRC engines in regards to FRCFENs
H.G. Muller [Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:36:26 +0000]
added option for work-around for some FRC engines in regards to FRCFENs

It suddenly occurred to me that I had promised on CCC to include an option to provide a work-around for the problem that some FRC engines do not understand FRC FENs (and thus do not play at all under WinBoard, as FRC always has to begin with sending the initial position).

So I added the options -firstNeedsNoncompliantFEN, -secondNeedsNoncompliantFEN. This affects winboard.c and xboard.c, (for defining the option), common.h, backend.h, backend.c, (for implementing it), xboard.texi and winboard.rtf (decribing it). This option provides users with a means to always force the FEN castling field to KQkq (but can be used for many other work-arounds as well).

14 years agofixed bug with random calls
H.G. Muller [Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:30:31 +0000]
fixed bug with random calls

There also seemed to be a bug with the shuffling of opening positions; I had changed the declaration of the position number from long long int to u64 to comply with MSVC, but this suppressed shuffling completely. I now changed it to int. I recently noted a problem with true randomizing anyway: this was based on srand(time()), but time() apparently did not change fast enough, so that starting several games in rapid succession (because the book line contained a 3-fold repetition) produced identical games. So I now seed the random once and for all during startup, based on the msec of the time mark, and removed the other calls to srand().

it that works under all Windows versions. (I tried XP and Win2K.)

14 years agofixed different use of engine option compared to Polyglot
H.G. Muller [Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:46:11 +0000]
fixed different use of engine option compared to Polyglot

it turns out the new Polyglot uses a sightly different version of the GUI->engine option command than the one I proposed (and implemented in XBoard; Michel sneaked in an '=' sign between the NAME and VALUE of the option, to allow for more unambiguous parsing.

I guess in principle this is a good idea, so I adapted XBoard to Polyglot rather than the other way around. The result is that there are canges in xboard.c, and the documentation.

I noticed that I unjustly had internationalized the option strings to be send to the engine in xoptions.c; this was of course nonsense, as this was WB protocol. So I undid that too.

H.G. Muller [Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:02:51 +0000]

The winboard.c is a patch that automatically tries indirection files on the

did not match any existing file and contained no period. This saves the user typing the

added the Action-menu items that allow the user to adjudicate ongoing games in Two-Machines mode.

This was an already existing backend function from Winboard_x; I only had to create a menu item for it to be called. Due to an oversight I had forgotten to do that so far. (Logically, I should have done it in the 4.3.5 release, where I updated the XBoard menus to conform to the WinBoard menus.)

I tested them, and they seem to work. (As expected.)

14 years agocorrected 'animate dragging'
H.G. Muller [Fri, 29 May 2009 05:11:11 +0000]
corrected 'animate dragging'

I finally figured out how the 'animate dragging' works in XBoard,
so that I could add code to do the unstacking of multiple pieces
in the holdings, rather than always leaving an empty square while
you drag them. (And then suddenly re-growing the remaining pieces
as you make the drop.)  It does not look as fancy as in WinBoard
yet, because the counts still only decrease when you release the
piece, rather than when you lift it. But this is not nearly as
disturbing as leaving empty holdings (if only temporarily) when
you still have pieces there.
