Version number in Shredder

Post by BubbaTough »

Hi,

I noticed that the Shredder GUI gives me an error when I have a long version number, and is fine otherwise. Does anyone know what the limitations are? I also noticed odd behavior based on the name of the folder it is in by the way ... probably some sloppy string handling internally.

What do you mean by a version number? I cannot find version number handling in the UCI protocol.

I have noticed that in Shredder GUI, integer values for options are limited to signed 16 bit.

I don't have difficulties because my engine name is short. For more detailed information I use UCI_EngineAbout. Sam, you should give more details how to reproduce the problem in Shredder. Space or dots in the engine name do not cause problems in Shredder 11.
