Myracle GUI

Is it possible to regenerate html and txt crosstable file of a finished tournament if deleted by accident?

the html and txt crosstable are regenerated after each finished game, so if you have the tournament intact you should be able to do that by replaying a single game of a finished tournament, if you load it into the GUI

After the problem with Hiarcs all games in pgn file deleted! Now I have only 792 games in pgn of the tournament instead of 42340 (146 engines, 4 rounds). Something happened when update to 132 version and Hiarcs report the problem....

hmm this definitely should not happen, the tournament pgn file is never deleted and should contain all the original games. (unless new tournament is started and the user should be asked via a messagebox)
is it the original tournament pgn or the one that is saved later via file menu?

Its the original.

Its the original.

myracle never deletes any games from the original tournament pgn, so no idea how this happened (never happened to me or anyone else before as far as I can recall)

the error about default option change only pauses the tournament and doesn't delete any files or games.
there are only two cases where the tournament pgn would be deleted by the GUI:
- the user clicks the reset! button in the tournament tab and confirms the messagebox
- the user starts a new tournament with the same file and confirms the overwrite messagebox

it's also possible that if the user tries to delete an engine in the middle of the list and confirms the messagebox, then all games of this and the remaining engines are tagged for replay; however the replays are only appended to the original pgn
only other theoretical thing would be using the save game as from the file menu and overwriting the tournament pgn (while confirming the overwrite messabox), but I doubt this was the case.

only other possibility is some external factor perhaps?

again I'm sorry that this happened to you, but unless I can't reproduce the problem there's not much I can do.
perhaps trying some unerase tool if it helps? but if the file was truncated, not sure if it'd help.

Its Ok! Don't worry about this. I just dont know how pgn delete. I'll try to reproduce the situation.

New problem!
I run the same tournament after pressing reset.
I have problem with Integral v4 engine. In tournament it does not start ("failed to start engine Integral v4)". If I play a standard game with this engine there is no problem. I'm running 134 version.
In version 131 there is no problem at all.

engine writes to stderr: what(): bad_function_call

engine writes to stderr: what(): bad_function_call

hmm, strange. just tried a quick tour with a freshly installed instegral v4 and no problem here...
I'll try to investigate some more...

I revert to version 131 but still engine not start. This happen only in tournament. If you play a normal game the problem does not exist.
Generally I think that is not a good idea to pause tournaments when a problem occur like that. Thats because if you are away you can lost many hours with out tournament games.

Mmmmm. If i make a new install of Myracle in another directory the problem does not occur!
Everythink is ok

[SSTATHIS]

Another thing is when install Myracle in another directory and copy config files from old to new directory when trying a start an egine apears a message "Engine path(s) invalid for engine". You must renter the working directory even the paths are ok! The original installation is in disk D:. The new installation is in disk C:
