- Create a private room. Allow another player. Other player joins room. Creator leaves, room survives with other player. Creator is unable to re-join the room. The workaround of adding oneself to the allowed list (before leaving) is specifically denied.
- wms: This has been fixed. It was reporting during 2.5.6 beta testing, so it didn't get into status, but it is fixed in the newer 2.5.6 betas.
- pwaldron? The KGS rating system allow 8d and 9d ranks now. Unfortunately, the CGoban game editor considers such ranks to be invalid. It is therefore not possible to edit the game information of SGF files from games with KGS 8d and 9d players.
- wms: My tests show that cgoban 2 accepts these ranks just fine. Can you send me the SGF file that breaks?
- phenomene: I second pwaldron's observation : one can open games with 8d or 9d players with the editor without problem, but if one wants to edit the game info, there is an error message when pressing the "ok" button saying 8d or 9d is not a valid rank.
- wms: Ah, that's the problem. See, I was just looking at the files, saying "yup, shows 9d like it should." I didn't know that the problem was when you worked with the game info window. Fixed now. Thanks.
- Vlad: I had this problem lately, with the 2.5.6 client. My connection is sometimes shaky, and it happens that I play and it might take up to 30 seconds for the move to be registered. When in byo-yomi, this makes easy to lose on time. Now, why doesn't the client sent the current timestamp, so that the server will know when I actually played, and not go after the moment it receives the message?
- Fwiffo: That would rely on trusting the client, which is unsafe to do in an internet context. If time were implemented this way, it would be possible (if technically challenging) to create a hacked version of the client that lets you cheat on time. I don't know if there is a good way to implement a time system that accounts for lag without opening the potential for cheaters. We all know
the sad story of gGo and IGS.
- Vlad: Mmm, true... I can think of a couple of ways to increase the safety, but none is perfect. On the other hand, I am sure you can understand my frustration for losing by time otherwise won games just because of this problem :-)
- Jared: I just lost a game on time due to a related issue. I lost my connection while on my move. I hit close as soon as I noticed the lack of response. Nothing happened. Waited about 10 seconds, then quit CGoban. 5 minutes later, when I managed to get back online, and resume the game, I had lost on time. Why the hell does the server count down my time WHEN I'M NOT EVEN CONNECTED? Naturally, VERY frustrating.
- wms: Jared, you must have an old client. This was fixed some time ago. The server will not let you lose on time until it is able to send a message to your client and get a response, so if you are not connected, you will not lose on time. Please get the latest client.
- Jared: Thanks for the quick response. I was using the latest client (2.5.7) for mac os X. When I signed back on, my time was 0, but it didn't say "lost on time" immediately. It waited until I tried to play my move, then it brought up the dialog box. So no, the server didn't let me lose on time, until it was able to send a message to the client, and THEN I lost.
- LordOfPi: This is not a bug but intentional behaviour Jared. So that you can ask for addtime because of disconnection before you play your next move. You will only lose when you play a move and your opponent didn't give you addtime. Or when your opponent clicks the 'Claim win' menuitem.
- Jared: I see. Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to do that next time.
- rubilia: Under which circumstances does kgs currently assume a player to have been disconnected? Canīt kgs check the connection more often in order to avoid disconnected players loosing even three or five minutes of playing time?
- kicker: The webstart client does not work on my machine. Mozilla 1.5 shows XML source code and an error message:
- "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."
- My system: RedHat? 9.0, java version "1.4.2_03"
- Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)
- Dang, thanks for pointing this out. When I moved the server yesterday I forgot to add the MIME types to file the web server uses. Should be fixed now.
