pls study all connection problems topic in yay or down load stuci

[elcriollito]

yay or stucy is about taste,my prefency is yay,

get the yay.exe
easy and slow,no hard time with perl

look for botijon.exe edition on this frum ,then read some command and how to make it works

[dene]

So with the newest version of yay I do not need active perl?" Is this assesment correct?

This is correct.

All you need is the YaY.exe file.

[matematiko]

I have done so. Which is better Yay or Stuci?? Which is easier to set up, and which is stronger? Thank you

This question was asked and answered before. Neither YaY nor STUCI are stronger, these two scripts had nothing to do with the engine, that is winboard/polyglot/UCIengine or winboard/winboard232d/chessbase function.

These scripts are just the middle man between Yahoo Chess server and Winboard.

[matematiko]

just try rebooting your internet again. you are already in yay as i can see your ics screen.

linasinblues, why are you sending people chasing wild goose? Didn't you see the pictures? It took him some time to upload them somewhere and then include the url links for us to see and then you gave an incorrect advise. He is not connected to YaY, if you pay close attention to the picture and if you understand english which I doubt(because of your silly and out of place reply in another topic) you will see that Yahoo disconnects his YaY:
"Your requesto to log in............ unable to authenticate your user ID"

Please, if you do not what you are talking about, do not post useless replies, do not offend people that took lot of their time to post an elaborated question with pictures and stuff, with your two lines, silly, inacurate, useless advice.

TheSicilian, everybody started having connection problems because Yahoo changed something that affects YaY but no STUCI around March 13 this year. Now, forget about using YaY.exe, executable files are not editable(at least not for non programming oriented people). you need to use YaY.pl because you can edit YaY.pl with notepad(although I do not recomend this). Just remember that in order to use YaY.pl you need ActivePerl. Also remember(and this has been posted already) that the latest version of ActivePerl does not includes modules for TK(which are needed to see the test word jpg), you either have to find out how to install those modules, or download an erlier version(5.8 will do fine). Also, do not install the 64 bits version of ActivePerl because nobody has written modules for 64 bits yet. The 32 bits version works just fine in windows 64 and more than like also in Windows Vista 64. According to your pictures you are beyond that and the only reason I am posting this is because so other people can read it.

Open your YaY.pl with not pad and do this:

Replace these two lines:



my $profilenumber=$1;
print "Done, your profile number is:$profilenumber.\n";


With this:



my $profilenumber=$1;
if ($profilenumber eq '') {
print "Unable to retrieve profile number.";
my $xyz=0;
until ($xyz eq '1') {
print "Enter profile number(usually 1): ";
$profilenumber=<STDIN>;
chomp $profilenumber;
if ($profilenumber eq '') {
print "Blank profile number, try again.\n";
}
else {
$xyz=1;
}
}
}
else {
print "Done, your profile number is:$profilenumber.\n";
}

*********************************************

After that, if YaY can not retrive a profile number, then the does prompt will let you know and will ask you to enter a profile number which is usually 1.

That's it. There is nothing in this reply (except giving hell to linasinblues) that has not been told before in this forum. I took the time to answer the question, next time you take time to browse the forum please.

[matematiko]

I can not help you with that. If it worked before(according to your pictures) I do not understand why is not working now. That is something you need to take to ActiveState(good luck with getting an answer) or revise what you did and find out the problem by yourself.

Now, according to the error message, you have installed ActivePerl 5.10 and I do not recomend 5.10, look for 5.8 32 bits version(works for 64 bits enviroments also).

After you have the error, did you try Google? Or did you go to ActiveState and see if they have a solution?

You can try uninstalling ActivePerl 5.0 and install ActivePerl 5.8

[matematiko]

Maybe you installed ActivePerl 5.8 without uninstalling 5.10 64 bits, just a wild guess. Uninstall every instance of ActivePerl you may have and reinstall 5.8 32 bits only. Additionally, you need to download and install the package marked as MSI (which stands for: Microsoft Installer) and not the AS package.

[matematiko]

Do you remember if your first installation of ActivePerl was done with the AS package instead of the MSI package. The problem with the AS package is that does not provide ways for uninstalling it. Again, I am just wild guessing here. Even thou I write perl scripts, ActivePerl issues is not my area of expertise. Why give up now when you are so close? You did not have this problem before. Retrace your steps and try to figure out what you did wrong regarding ActivePerl.

About YaY Ultimate, well....like all programmers will say(specially the ones working for free and not working under a deadline): "It will be ready until is ready" .... A different answer will be "Two weeks" But, I can not guarantee that.

[elcriollito]

I have google your problem,it seem a lot of player are having same error,this happened to me ,but i am don't remeber how i fixed it,for real

-----------Blocked User-----------

3 things that could be the problem.

Yahoo games open with a pop up. Most toolbars like yahoo and internet explorer have pop up blockers! When you try getting in lounge or room and it doesn't work. click on pop up blocker on yahoo tool bar. On the drop down list click on Always allow tab it will say recent pop ups blocked. high light yahoo.com then click allow.

. IE browser settings to allow pop ups Right click on Tools, internet options, privacy tab, cookie over ride. Type in Yahoo.com, allow then ok. This is the proper way to use the pop up blocker. I have never had a problem or had to hold any keys down to get in.
If you are using norton antivirus you may need to turn it off until you are in room.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security_Pol..... The_Default_Security_Policy foxfire setting to allow yahoo games.
--------------------------
Still not working? Do this; Right click on tools, internet options, general tab, temp files settings button, view objects. High light the game you are having a problem with. Delete it. Now log onto yahoo mail, minimize it then go to game. A new demo will pop up, down load it. Game should now work
update java to fix it!
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual

another google made for me,check this

-----------------do this!------------
Yahoo’s new updates to games has caused a lot of game demo’s to be “outdated” Normal clearing of cache (deleting browser history/temp files) does not fix the problem. Click on TOOLS , internet options, general tab, temp files, settings, view objects. Delete the game you are having problems with. It will reload next time you visit the site. Then log on to yahoo mail or answers, Before you click on games. Being pre-logged in seems to make things go better and faster..

If you have problems using above instructions. Click Start,, search/files type in yahoo chess. Delete/remove the file. If you use only yahoo’s chess games; type chess in search line and delete/remove all files that are listed.

then log thru yahoo.com and see if u can get there in a table,if u could do that,come back to yay and see if this is made thru yay

Did as told still same error.

Ok, I recommend using system restore to try and remove all traces of active pearl and start again.

Note: I would save the YaY pl file you modified with matematiko's script update somewhere safe first to avoid having to update this again.

After using system restore to take your computer back to before you first installed active pearl...

Download this version of active pearl (the version I use) from here... http://download.yousendit.com/20CAB64A507C53C1

Install that version and then update following this guide of mine below:

Type CMD into Start/Search to open command box

type: cd c:\perl\bin

Press enter

Type: ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Crypt-SSLeay.ppd

press enter and wait for the patch to be downloaded

Type: yes

Press enter and wait a few seconds

Type: yes

Press enter

type: c:\perl\bin

Press enter

type: yes

Press enter

type: c:\perl\bin

Press enter and this will finish the package installation

Type: exit

Press enter and this will close the command prompt window.

Note: Depending on what order you originally set up, you may have to install some or everything else again (WinBoard/YaY etc) after using system restore. I take no responsibility for any problems you may occur after using system restore, you do this at your own risk.

Goodluck

take a time to figurate out and fix the normally way to get log in in yahoo games , sit in any table and play one game

my opinion is seem that the problem is no detecting your id in some how,If it does not reconized your id in a normally way why should be thru yay,so take care of this message that yahoo tells u

""""you have an old version of the client in your cache,you will need to restart your browser and come back to retrieve
the current version if restarting does no work,manually clearing your browser's cache should fix the problem""""

once u get log in like normally user ,and make sure u have played 1 game,come back to what u know how to do with yay

google how to fix this situation of log in in yahoo games chess

because I remember this happened to me,and because I normally play thru yay, I was sure was not a yay problem so I went to the point of why yahoo does no let me play again like regular player,then after I fixed this I went back to yay and I started paly again

[matematiko]

What browser are you using? IE32, IE64, what java package you installed? JRE(Java Run Enviroment) for 32 bits or 64 bits.

I am not saying that this is the case, but I insist: even thou you are using a 64 windows version, I recommend you use IE32, JAVA 32, ActivePerl 32 and so on. 64 Bits versions of this packages still have hundreds of bugs, no to mention that they not provide anything useful (with the exeption of perhaps more security). Same thing applies to Winboard, if you find a 64 bits version of Winboard don't use it, is very buggy.

The most important and probably the only 64 bits program you need is the engine(s) itself.

Try this:

- Uninstall any Java package you had installed and reboot
- Install FireFox (32 bits, I dont even know if they have 64 bits)and reboot.
- Install java again but only the 32 bits version.

And give it another try, be sure you try FirfeFox and/or IE32.
***********************************************

I just realized something:


Which Yahoo Server interface are you trying to use? The All-New Yahoo Chess? or the standar Yahoo Chess? More thank likely you are trying to use The All-New Yahoo Chess because that one uses Flash while the Standard Yahoo Chess uses java.

Do me a favor, log in to Yahoo and then click on this link:
http://profiles.games.yahoo.com/games/ante?room=chess_adv&prof_id=chat_pf_1&nosignedcab=yes I bet my arm it will take you straigth to the Advance Lounge (of course, after entering the correct cpatcha and assuming you have Java installed).

Good Luck,
