Hi all.
I downloaded gnubg yesterday and I am facing a frustrating problem.
I tried to set a new match like this:
The starting setup is: Red are moving from 1 to 24 and black from 24 to 1.
Gnu backgammon Vs. Human
Manual dice
I go to the "Modify Player settings" dialog box.
There, I want the red (player 0) to play manually, as human, and the black (player 1) to be played by the app engine.
Then I press ok button.
I get the message telling: "Moves for Tal must now be entered manually.
Moves for Opponent will now be played by GNU Backgammon.
Settings saved to C:\Users\dushkin\.gnubg\gnubgautorc.
Settings saved to C:\Users\dushkin\.gnubg\gnubgautorc."
Then I get the "dice" window to select who starts with which numbers.
I select a pair for the red one (Tal/player 0)
I get the message: "A new 1 point match has been started.
Tal rolls 6, Opponent rolls 2."
And the red one plays automatically!!!
But I asked it to play as human!
I can also tell the the "new" dialog box has a red exclamation mark icon on its left. What does it mean?
Please advice.
Many Thanks, Tal
