Announcement: New YaY(code name Ultimate Edition)

Postby matematiko » 07 Apr 2008 04:55

A new version of YaY code name (YaY Ultimate Edition) will be release soon. Right now is in the beta testing stage(zozur, dene, elcriollito and myself).

Some old issues are being addressed, and lots of new features were added.

This new version is beeing release in exe only, but it will have a configuracion file(editable with notepad), eliminating the need to edit a .pl file

The exe release will eliminate the need to install ActivePerl.

The new version will alway connect to Winboard using port 6000, this eliminates the need for the user to input port number.

In other words, we are trying to make this version as fool proof as possible.

I can not explain here all the new features of YaY Ultimate Edition, once release you gonna have to read the "command and notes.txt" file to get familiar with most of the commands

Stay tuned.

- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.

Thats so nice of U.Can U guys make a provision that we can change room or table without repeating the process again and again...I mean if I join a game on table 3 and then If I want to go to another table....Yay doesnt allow that....so we have to relog in...as U r already revising it...can it be possible to overcome this little cons??
Thanks...

neo_the_1 you don't need relog in. You just need to leave the table "3" and go to another table...

commands for that are: if you sat at the table you have to stand first, type "stand" and then you type "u and the table number" . Ex: u 3 . This will make you leave the table "3" if you are at this table. After that you can go to other one.

About other room, you mean adv1 and go to adv2 you have to relog

xsupremex,

Thanks for giving an answer.

I do not see when you are usay YaY, someone want to be in multiple tables, this action confuses Winboard and the results are catastrophic if you are playing in one table and observing another table.

For this reason, YaY(and the new YaY Ultimate) are set up to let you be in only one table at the time and this is something is not going to change.

Like you said, there is no need to logout and login just to change tables. Just unobserve the table you are and go to another table.

Or maybe he was refering to diffrent rooms. YaY can not do that, if you want to go to a different room(let's say, leave Advance Lounge and go to Advance Lounge 2) then defenetly you have to log out.

Cheers,

Hi matematiko good work in the new yay... I just wanted to remember something interesting about the old yics... There was a command in it very good... When I used it I typed "create 1/1" and yics created a table and in the same time put the timer to 1/1 I hope new yay has it too :mrgreen:

No it does not have it, but it is an excellent idea. Currently the create command has the ability the create a table with a description(all-star users only), so it will be hard(but not imposible) to include table options(like timer and increment) in the same command line. We'll think about it.

Thanks for the input.

After extended testing (thanks dene and elcriollito) we beleive that YaY Ultimate is ready for release. Now we need to implement and test the last part of the project which is: Making YaY Ultimate configurable by the user by editing a text file, this is necesary because YaY Ultimate will be released in exe format only and we want to give the user the ability to change and/or disable messages, etc. This final stage will take anywhere between 10 and 14 days. Thanks everyone for your patiance and loyalty.
