I'm getting a strange error when running a database query. OS BearoffDatabase: Invalid Argument aargh! I've only seen this error when running gnubg-no-gui over a mapped drive on a network. There are
Again, this is not entirely new. The suggestion to enhance the race DB is based on the assumption that the bot misplays those positions. I would like to see the evidence for that. I think I will star
Problems: - Backwards Compatibility (To previous formats - Non issue imho) - the databases will only work on newer builds. - If we use a single file format (that is all 64 bit offsets) then we waste
Really strange! I have built a one sided database using GMP with fractions with my own piece of code. Since I use fractions from GMP there should be no rounding error. Here are my numbers for positio
Hi, I am wondering if gnubg still has support for the Hugh Sconyers full 15x15 Bearoffdatabase and if it can use it if it is on my hard drive. I haven't got the database yet since I don't know if it
OK, I'll release my tool: http://www.gnubg.org/media/boa.tar.gz The tar file contains source code and executable for windows. It reads a file gnubg_os0.bd for each instance. The database file must be

Spend the money you saved using gnubg instead of Snowie, buy a copy of vmware and you can run Windows 95/98/2K (don't know about XP) from within Linux. And that lovely blue screen just means you clos
I've added some code for reading databases from ExactBearoff but I never tested it[*], so unless you want to be a guinea pig, I suggest you wait until I've tested it. Also, it requires you to rename/

A couple of questions. How can I tell if GNU is using the 2 sided (6 checkers for each player) database. If I set up a simple position and select "Hint" there is no mention there. It just says cubele
Quoting Jim Segrave <address@hidden>: No, 3111 can fail to be off in 2 rolls, even though there are 4 checkers and the pip count is 6. I don't know what the exact criterion should be, but maybe it wo
The advantages of working for an ISP: I can easily arrange hosting of something like a 300Mb database on my employer's public ftp server - ftp.demon.nl. If bandwidth is an issue for other things, I c
Is it really that bad ? I thought that, as long as one does not use shortcuts like the --no-gammons and --normal-dist options, one-sided databases were very accurate. Is it because the probabilites
Hi all! When trying to generate a one-sided bearoffdatabase greater than 13 points I get the following error. Do you know if there is any workaround? Thanks in advance image.png
I tried to recreate the bearoffdatabase and noticed some differences which could be due to rounding, but already at position #47 there were some significant differences. My workings for position 47
