RE: [Bug-gnubg] SGG import issues

[Albert Silver]

Thanks, however I suppose it bears mentioning that Snowie doesn't suffer
from this problem. Would it be possible to have GNU know how to deal
with this? This actually occurred in 3 games of the attached session.

I've experienced a few quirks as well with .sgg files.  Upon
investigation,
I've found the .sgg file itself to be the culprit.

For example: In a recent game GNUbg tells me I should have doubled while
on
the bar. I danced (.sgg notation is " 63: 0-0 ") and GNUbg says I danced
a
second time, assigning me 2 huge blunders for missed cube action, thus
ranking my cube skill as "awful!".

Investigating further, I see that the .sgg file actually lists the "63:
0-0"
line twice, while other places in the match a dancing roll is only
listed
once.  Removing the duplicate line in the .sgg and re-running the
analysis
fixes the problem.

Another (and very strange) example occurred when the .sgg mysteriously
"lost" most of the moves of the game, showing a Double (Very Bad!)/Pass
(Very Bad!) on the fourth roll, when the game actually went on for
another
10 rolls or so before a proper racing Double/Pass.  Again this was a bug
in
the gamesgrid client saving the .sgg.

Looking at your attached file, I see you have a similar problem, and
it's
easy to fix:

Game 7. 6-7


1 43:
1 43:
1 43: 13/9, 13/10
1  11:
SubtleOne: a sec pls
1 11: 6/5(2), 8/7(2)

 your first roll of 43 is listed on 3 lines.  Just cut the first line,
and
re-save the .sgg.  Your problem will be fixed.

You see below, that a 'normally recorded' game starts with the first
roll
listed only twice. Once to indicate which player on roll (via the
indentation), and to indicate a dice roll vice a doubling cube play. The
second to indicate the checker movement.

Game 6. 4-7


1 41:
1 41: 13/9, 24/23
1  43:
1 43: 13/9, 24/21

While I wouldn't say corrupted .sgg's happen frequently, they do happen
often enough that if GNUbg is acting strange that's the first thing I
check.
