GreedyGammon version 3.1.147 (March 25 2023)

Greetings fellow backgammon aficionados.

This is the first update tested on Windows 10.
Some issues were discovered with running the analysis through a "shell" command
Windows 10 refuses to minimize the window and outright didn't even process the command using a simpler version of "shell"
So the command line interface is gone. GreedyGammon is now calling the full gnubg.exe graphic interface but it still loads your match and starts the analysis. All you have to do is minimize it and when it is finished you will still get the notification sound "analysis ready"

Windows 10 processed the sound files different from Windows 7 so much so that I ended using only a single wav file for all the sounds.
Please replace any sounds you wish. Simply go to the wav folder where you installed GreedyGammon and name your sound file the same as the existing one.

One suggestion from users is to try the "compatibility" setting if you find issues running GreedyGammon on Windows 10. To get this setting simply right click the greedygammon.exe file and select properties and click the "compatibility' tab up top and select Win 7 as it ran good under that OS.

So the main thing to be aware of if you run the auto analysis feature is to point to gnubg.exe and not gnubg-cli.exe. ;

Other than that everything else seems to run ok. I did a quick test for connecting to remote player and making some moves and there was no problem so If there are any hidden bugs they will be fixed as necessary. Will try to find some good sound files to replace the old ones.

Oh and the default setting for "disable connection" is now to disable it since it does sometimes cause a delay in the start up log in screen while it checks for version and any connection. Unnecessary annoyance for someone only playing the offline GreedyG player.

cheers,

Please find attached the old greedygammon "wavs" folder.

To use these files, you could simply dump then right into your greedygammon\wavs folder and select "replace" to the windows prompt

And you can always replace any wav with your own file. Just keep the name the same (case sensitive)
