    1. Python must be 2.7.
      If you have a python of 64 bits, then you must recompile LCEngine and libirina, there are a folder=LCEngine, and a sh to compile, previously in LCEngine/irina, you have other sh to compile this library.

    3. The support of linux is translated to version 11, in github: lucaschess_11

  3. Apparently the option to update from "inside" the program, is making some errors. At least in windows 7 64 bits as I had the same problem as Alex.
    Installing it again without uninstalling as you suggested works fine. =)

    1. Problem was with version 10.00 to 10.04, that need reinstall.
      My tests are with OS Windows 8.1 64.
      It seems there are more circunstances that I have not found.

  4. For some reason LC won't show "Strength" combobox for an external Rodent 1.7 engine.
    From the UCI:
    "option name Strength type combo var GM var IM var Master var Expert var League var Club var Amateur var Moderate var Weak var Novice var Helpless default GM"
    Chessbase Reader, for instance, shows it.

    1. Pawel Koziol, author of Rodent says:
      "Rodent allows its users to modify several options influencing its playing style.
      The way of accessing all of them may seem a little clumsy. It is a result of an attempt to have the
      best of both worlds: instantly accessible predefined styles for a casual user and a possibility to
      tweak the engine for those who like it.
      The choice between these scenarios must be made in rodent.ini file. That file does not initialize the
      engine itself, but drastically changes the way how it talks to the GUI. There are two setups: "user
      normal" and "user power". The first lets the user play with predefined personalities, the second –
      to set them manually via UCI options."

      Rodent 1.7 is used to create some personalities by Michele Tumbarello, and to do it, is necessary that all options are available.

    2. Hm? I don't get it. If I see "option name Strength" in the console output I expect to see it in the LC's GUI.
      Yes I have "user normal" in the rodent.ini file.
      Again, Chessbase Reader shows that Strength combobox.

      Delete
    3. Distribution of Lucas Chess don´t include rodent.ini, in this case the user is in mode advanced with all options.
      If you has copied rodent.ini of the standard distribution, then options are reduced to a minimum and you can select with Strength one personality.
      If you have created an external engine with rondent before you copied rodent.ini, options remain unchanged, ie all, and not Strength. Solution, you must create a new external engine.

      Delete
    4. Yes, as I said in the OP I tried to configure Rodent 1.7 as an external engine. I downloaded the distribution of Rodent 1.7 from here http://www.pkoziol.cal24.pl/rodent/history.htm . It has "user normal" by default.

      If I run the engine I can see all the available options:

      option name Strength type combo var GM var IM var Master var Expert var League var Club var Amateur var Moderate var Weak var Novice var Helpless
      default GM
      option name FirstBookFile type string default guide.bin
      option name SecondBookFile type string default rodent.bin
      option name PersonalityFile type string default rodent.txt
      option name Verbose type check default false
      option name Analyse type check default false
      option name UseBook type check default true
      option name PositionLearning type check default false
      option name Hash type spin default 16 min 1 max 4096
      option name Clear Hash type button

      Beside that, for some reason the Lucas Chess distribution doesn't have Rodent 1.7, it has Rodent 1.6.

      Delete
    5. You have reason it is 1.6 version, used by Michele T to create some tourney personalities. Now last Rodent is also included, but without personalities, the lite version.

      Delete
  5. Ahhhr!! I finally fixed it!
    I see that you expect the "default" keyword on the same line as "option name XXX combo", but in Rodent it has a new line before it.
    So I just remove the trailing new line from the default rodent.ini and now the Strength combobox is here.
    Nice.

    ReplyDelete
  6. The trick doesn't work for the Rodent 1.6 since it has three comboboxes from the ini file and only last one is visible in options. The first one and the second have line breaks before the "default" keyword. (( I guess you should remove the new lines before "default" before the UCI option processing.

    1. I've fixed the Rodent sources, so don't worry, now it works properly.
      Thanks for your time.

  7. Sorry, but it is not easy to do the translation. I have it in mind.

LINUX - First binary version

The first official binary version of Lucas Chess on Linux has just been released. It has only been made possible by the great work done by Laudecir Daniel , choosing and compiling the 67 engines, as well as laying the groundwork so that the binaries can be more widely used and others such as shortcut creation, installation scripts, ...... In addition,  Graham O'Neill  has provided Linux-specific drivers for several digital boards. This version has two limitations : 64-bit Linux OS only. Minimum GNU libc version: 2.26 (ldd --version shows it) Installation has been made as simple as possible: The installer is a .sh file, generated with the  makeself  tool, and can be downloaded from: SourceForge , GitHub The file must be run from a terminal with user permissions only: sh ./LucasChessR123_LINUX.sh Launches a GUI with very basic options: Install: Installs in LucasChessR folder inside the home user folder. Generates a shortcut in Applications > Games Launch the application at the end
