It still doesnt support incremental time controls.

Perhaps you should post your request for the author to do this on the WBEC forum where he posts.

I posted it on Leo's thread at WBEC few seconds ago. If I understand correctly, it supported incremental time controls until version 5.2 (according to swami, he called version 5.3 buggy). Unfortunately at the time I didnt have enough RAM to test the darn thing. Now that I have enough, the darn thing doesnt support my time controls.

Comparing 'chessclock.cpp' from both v5.1 and 5.4 there appears to be one line difference which may be causing the problem >

Code: Select all

v.51.
--------------------------------
//returns ms left for next move of white/black
int chessclock::getTimeNextMove(int playingSide){
if (runningSide==WHITE || runningSide==BLACK){
stopTime=timer1.get_ms();
timeLeft[side(runningSide)]-= (stopTime-startTime);

startTime=timer1.get_ms(); // <<<<<<< HERE
}
----------------------------------

v.5.4
----------------------------------
//returns ms left for next move of white/black
int chessclock::getTimeNextMove(int playingSide){
if (runningSide==WHITE || runningSide==BLACK){
stopTime=timer1.get_ms();
timeLeft[side(runningSide)]-= (stopTime-startTime);

startTime=stopTime; // <<<<<< HERE
}
-----------------------------------

What a huge difference that single line made...

Hi Graham,

Offftopic in this thread, but, I have a question:

Does talkchess forum have an archive for
offline-reading?

Best,
