"Too many round names" error in SCID

[stevenaaus]

I doubt Shane envisaged huge computer tournaments (with numerous round names) when he coded the thing.

I send him a message using pm.

Do you mean Shane ? No-one's heard from him in five years AFAIK.. I'd like to hear what he's up to actually.

Pascal of course.

Any reply ?
I had a go at bumping the limit in namebase.h

Code: Select all

262143     /* Round names:  Maximum of 2^18 -1 =   262,143 */

to 2^20-1, which would possibly solve your problem but break si4 compatibility.
But program now hangs loading CCRL.pgn, and there's obviously something else needs doing. Big,small or where - i don't know.

Any reply ?...

No.

I still use Scid. I think it is great. OTOH I'm no longer willing to fiddle around with programs working more or less.

And yes, I'm willing to pay for software what just does what it should do.
