Re: [Bug-gnubg] Scripts

[boomslang]

Hmmm, when i start the script it still doesn't play on -- it just plays the opening move and then it quits. See log file below...

Maybe there's still an option i've forgotten?

(BTW, when started from the gui, it plays until the end)

My script looks like: 

    set rng mersenne 1   
    set automatic game on
    set automatic roll on   
    set player 0 gnubg
    set player 1 gnubg
    new match 21

The result is:

C:\Program Files\gnubg>gnubg-cli --commands=script.txt

As well make sure you have "set automatic game on". This will make sure
the bot will start each game automatically. If it is off the bot will
play a game and then stop. You would then have to issue "new game"
manually. With this feature on it should go until match is complete.
