Speaking As the co-author who did a lot of the
code-fixing, there was a list of odd bugs that
always seem to crop up with any new program release.
It is important to be sure and get the most recent
version of the program from the genius WWW sites.
CHESS GENIUS CHESS homepage
http://www.computerchess.de/chessgenius/home_e.html
or soon via my own site:
http://i.am/pc_solutions
"Bugs" and cosmetic bits now fixed include..
EPD database loading (EPD files
are treated seemlessly as normal database files in
Genius 6)
Keyboard control - not all keyboard cmds worked all
the time..
Keep time from last session on restarting genius.
Pawn promotion could not underpromote pawn as 1st move.
2d brd faulty if > 1000 pixels.
Tooltips - stay up long, work ok under Windows NT now.
Line Per Move setting changed to display 1 move per line,
not 1 ply per line..
Writing to write protected books could fail.
German language version did not offer any different 2d board
colours/styles.
--------------------------------------------------------
now some GENIUS 6 Hints.. (try at your own risk :-))
the CHSET.DEF file controls what bitmaps & colours are
used for displayed boards.
ie this line sets the 2nd 3d board option:
BRD3D 1 {"bmp\\brd3d2.bmp",100,100,100,, 555,555}
in this form:
BRD3D brd-no {bmp-filename,Red,Green,Blue,,margin-x,margin-y}
This line sets a 2d board option:
BRD2D 0 {"bmp\\brd1.bmp",68,80,92,"bmp\\brd1.bmp",57,67,80, 0,0}
in this form:
BRD2D brd-no {bmp-light-sqr,Red,Green,Blue,bmp-dark-sqr,0,0}
CHLANG1.DEF is the english language file, CHLANG2.DEF is the
german one. Some odd unimplemented functions are burried there
- ie the // comment can be removed from these lines in these
functions in CHLANG1.DEF..
// 1259,0,"Hide Comments", //IDM_FLAG_HIDECOM
// 1260,10,"Show &Initial Pos", // IDM_FLAG_SHOWINIDIAG
// 1261,10,"Show &Current Pos", // IDM_FLAG_SHOWCURDIAG
// 1262,10,"Include Header", // IDM_FLAG_INC_HEADER
// 1263,10,"Include Moves", // IDM_FLAG_INC_MOVES
You can edit CHSET.DEF or CHLANGx.DEF to customise - but if you mess up, you may
need
to restore the original file, so keep it to hand somewhere!
CHLANG1.DEF
