Re: Engine update - belofte 0.9.6 released
Hello! Thank you for binaries. Unfortunately with me it doesn't work. I tried different configurations. Sometimes it disconnects, sometimes it plays illegal moves. In the best case it loses on time.ydebilloez wrote: ↑Wed Jan 01, 2020 7:56 pm Windows 64 bit binaries of version 0.9.3 pushed to source repository.

I attach the log file. I hope it can help.
Regards.

I don't understand what an upload of Belofte 0.93 compiled in November 2018 has to do with the new release of 0.96?ydebilloez wrote: ↑Wed Jan 01, 2020 7:56 pm Windows 64 bit binaries of version 0.9.3 pushed to source repository.

Isn't there an actual Windows compile available?

Re: Engine update - belofte 0.9.6 released
I do not have a windows vm with a good compiler at hand. I found a compile made by T. Poppins of version 0.9.3, I included it because it is much more recent than the 0.2.x builds that are available. I did not test it. Anyway, I do not understand why I insisted on publishing 0.9.3, because it plays really bad.... You are completely right.
Before getting to version 1.0, I want to include a 32 or 64 bit windows version that works correctly. If someone manages to compile the 0.9.6 release on windows, this would be great. I did not manage to compile it yet. The combination of C and C++ seems to create some issues for my c++ builder compiler.
Yes, it helps. Really need to get into debugging the windows version. Looking at the log it seems to play under heavy stress with less than 2 seconds on the clock. A few fixes were added before the 0.9.5 release with regards to time. One of the issues might be fixed in 0.9.6 already.Roland Chastain wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 11:29 am Hello!

Thanks to the log, I saw that the WB1 protocol is broken, only WB2 works.

I tried myself to compile it but didn't manage. I will make another attempt.ydebilloez wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 3:34 pmBefore getting to version 1.0, I want to include a 32 or 64 bit windows version that works correctly.

It's the time control that I use for my tests, 40 moves in 60 seconds. I tried 40 moves in 120 seconds to give Belofte a chance.ydebilloez wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 3:34 pmReally need to get into debugging the windows version.

Yes, I tried the two versions of the protocol, because I was looking for a solution. But I don't really need WB1.ydebilloez wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 3:34 pmThanks to the log, I saw that the WB1 protocol is broken, only WB2 works.
