hey guys,
ahm whats the command for auto start game at yay and is there an auto invite command for yay also?,

thanks

To automaticaly give the start command after the opponent had request a start, type
"set autostart"(without the quotes), this should work with YtoICS( and its forks, like YaY)...Now, I am not sure about what you mean by "auto invite". If you elaborate further we migth be able to help you.

hey matematik and the gang, like i want to invite certain rated players (e.g. 1900 - 3500) without inviting them one by one, in other words mass invitations at once. if its not possible, thanks anyways for you help ;D

-cheers

While mass invitations are possible to be programmed in, I don't think it would be a "nice" idea. Automatic invitations seem like something that would annoy other users more than anything.

i agree, that was i was thinking too lol god that would be annoying, ahm whats the command for indivual invites? is it "invite name" tried it didnt work

Individual invites can be issued by the command, invite username. Some older versions of YtoICS/forks don't have it implemented.

whats the method to be called to boot a particular person from table ?

[matematiko]

Something else to remember about mass invites is that the Yahoo server will bar your ID for a day or two if you send too many invites at once.

Now, concerning the question about the boot command: over time people have implemente this feature in different ways.
Some scripts have a boot subroutine and others have an xboot subroutine.

Try this: boot matematiko

if that does not work then try this: xboot [table number] [user], for example, assuming you are hosting table 23 and you want to boot matematiko, then type:
xboot 23 matematiko

If none of these commands work then your script does not have a boot subroutine. Download YaY or STUCI (besides boot, other features like invite or xinvite had been added in these scripts).

Cheers,

i am trying to load the YaY and when i double click the winboard icon i get a message box that says "Cant Find Slave". and "Cant Create Pipe"

what do i need to do here to get this thing working ?

thanks for any help

Looks like there is something wrogn with your winboard shurtcut.

First, did you make it to the point where YaY says: Waitiing for connection on port xxxx ?

If you have not made it that far, then winboard did not find a slave to connect to, so go back and fix first the problem with YaY. But if you did, and assuming your port is 6000, then your winboard shurtcut properties(rigth click and select properties) should look something like this:

a. This first example is for when you are trying to connect to a chessbase GUI:
"C:\Program Files\WinBoard-4.2.7\winboard.exe" /zp /ics /icshost 127.0.0.1 /icsport 6000 /fcp="winboard232d.exe -pipe"
Note that winboard232d.exe must be present in your winboard directory

b. This example is for when you are trying to use polyglot:
"C:\Program Files\Winboard-4.2.7\winboard.exe" /zp /ics /icshost 127.0.0.1 /icsport 6000 /fcp "polyglot.exe polyglot.ini"
Note that polyglot.exe should be present in your winboard directory.

Also look at this topic http://autochess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=55


Cheers and good luck,

thanks matematiko for the reply

i got to the point where YaY says "waiting for connection on port 6000"

i checked the properties on the winboard shortcut and the target is CORRECT.

what exactly is the "slave" that the box says cant be found and it cant create a pipe ?

any more ideas how i can make this work ?

thanks again

With Chessbase products (Fritz), there is a 3-step process to get going.

1. Start YtoICS perl script (or similar fork, YaY/STUCI) and login.
2. Start Chessbase program (Fritz), click on Tools menu, and then Connect Hardware. Select "Auto-232 1.0". Check "Server name" and un-check "Unload after autoplay".
3. Then you load Winboard (with correct shortcut--already explained above)

If you didn't do step 2, then you get the error you mentioned above about not being able to find a slave (for auto232) and not being able to create a pipe.

thanks zappa....i got YaY loaded

how do i set time controls for a game and is it possible to use a diff engine and if so how ?

i really appreciate you guys help

[matematiko]

Once YtoICS or STUCI or YaY are "talking" with chessbase, there is an extra step, you need to iniatiate a two-computer match. To do so, press ctrl-alt-j. Note that once in two computer match, game parameters can not be change, so, before initiating the two computer match, set your parameters. Time control in chessbase GUI's is accessed by pressing ctrl-z.

I hope this help and I suggest you read your Chessbase program manual or the on-line help by pressing F1.

Cheers,
