Dear Pavel,
I tried installing Rodent III on shredder gui and arena 3.5.1 but encountered the following error:
"The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstallign the program to fix this problem"
I have tried reinstalling but still the same problem. I am using Windows 10 Professional.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards,
Koh, Kah Huat

Re: Rodent III released
Kah Huat Koh, please download the following file and place it in the Rodent directory:
https://www.dll-files.com/msvcp120.dll.html
I'll add it to the distribution package.

Re: Rodent III released
Norman, thank You for Your kind words - and for personalities. The funny thing is that they can be tried with the new version as well. Just copy and paste the following lines to each of them:
There might be a need of some readjustments afterwards, but in general they should be quite similar to what is expected from Rodent II.
Code: Select all
setoption name SearchSkill value 10
setoption name RiskyDepth value 0
setoption name Fianchetto value 0

Re: Rodent III released
OK, I have updated distribution packages. Tere are two changes
- I had to recompile 32-bit version, because time control code has been compromised
- missing library is supplemented

Hi Pawel,
Now I get a different error when installing the 64-bits version:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

Re: Rodent III released
Never seen that error Does it happen also with Rodent_III_x64_plain?
If so, one last try is that You can download this http://pkoziol.cal24.pl/rodent/Rodent_I ... MSVC15.zip and replace the exe file. This has been compiled under recent Visual Studio on Windows 10. May have problems on some guis (Microsoft broken stdio support) but runs under Arena on my machine.
Hope that helps
Pawel

Hi, I tried Rodent_III_x64_plain and got same error.
I tried Rodent_III_x64_MSVC15.zip and got:

Thank you & regards,

Re: Rodent III released
Thanks for Rodent III! I have been playing around with it this weekend. I wish that I had the skill to help in the development.PK wrote:Windows builds available at http://www.pkoziol.cal24.pl/rodent/download.htm Should also compile under Linux (possibly with minor makefile modifications).
As I wrote before, I don't expect to have much time to develop Rodent this year. One of the reasons is getting a full time job at Polish History Museum (dealing with assets like old photographs, copyright issues, digital exhibitions on Gogle Cultural Institute platform and storytelling). Even without this I'd be rather busy on many fronts. I'd be grateful if anybody takes over as a lead developer of Rodent - source is GPL anyway, and I made some effort to clean up the code (see https://github.com/nescitus/Rodent_III). If nobody turns up, the project will be shelved. I might return to it in a year or so, or start a non-derivative engine instead. In the meantime, enjoy Rodent III.
I wanted to finish this stage of Rodent's development on a high note, so this version can use up to 4 threads. Pawn structure evaluation should be more solid as well. The default engine is slightly less aggressive, but You can easily tune it to become mad attacker, or simply use Marshall, Henny, Remy or KingHunter personalities. The gain on single thread is probably about 20 Elo.
Have fun!
By the way, I noticed a spelling error at line 62 in uci_options.cpp:
Code: Select all
printf("option name PaswnStructure type spin default %d min 0 max 500\n", Par.struct_weight);

I was getting the same errors under Win 8.1 64-bit, but then I downloaded and installed the following to make it work:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable, installs, MSVCP120.dll and MSVCR120.dll.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3, installs, MSVCP140.dll and MSVCR140.dll.
