FD question

[sceptic]

Hi,

 

I loaded my FD file, I have 1nt opener, 2club (stayman), 2Diamond (deny 4 card major, 2heart (weak scramble majors) these are the only 4 bids I have on this file

 

old version 1.1.0 I bid 1nt (15-17 balanced. I got correct description) partner bid 2club (I got stayman, correct description), opener now bids 2diamonds (I got deny 4 card major, correct desription)

 

sitting 4 seats at teaching table

 

version 1.1.1 same bidding no problem this works also,

 

my oddity is version 1.1.1

 

I bid 1nt (15-17 balanced. I got correct description) partner now bids 2diamond (NOT 2club) and I got deny 4 card major, I expected it to be blank as I had (or thought I had not logged that bid??

 

I assumed that if I make a file I log openers bids and responders bids (2diamond should be an openers response to responders bid, so I assumed it would be blank as I had not defined 2 diamond as response to 1nt opener yet

 

hope that makes sense

Are you using the .bss file that you think that you are as I do not see this behaviour with your file?

 

The files used by 4.4.5 are located in the convcards folder.

 

Paul - now an "expert" having solved a single problem in this area :) !!!

[sceptic]

yes I moved them to conv folder ;)

I am having a similar problem with 1.1.1 on competitive bidding. I have several different response schedules over their 1♣ opening bids (depening upon the nature of their 1♣ bid). For some reason, I can only see the meaning of my overcalls displayed when I go out of the editor mode... but this only happens if I create a new one club bid (changing vul or the like)... and the ability to see the bids returns if I reload the FD program.

I made a , say Acol file by copying and pasting on a Notepad ( from Acol structure found in Forums) and then copied this file in Convcards folder/Dwingo convcards and then renamed is as ns.bss

 

I then sat NS and clicked load NS convention card. Nothing happened. I couldn't see any explanation when our side bid. Did I do anything wrong?

 

Version 4.4.5

I am curious here, I have a 4 bid stayman sequence 1nt, 2C, 2D and 2H (as described above).

in FD file

 

If I want to add 4 way transfer sequence, smollen and texas transfers as 1 FD file, how do you intigrate it with the stayman sequences?

 

I am not sure how to get two convention sequences to run in unison with each other?

 

example of what I mean would be

 

example 1

 

1nt (openers bid)

2C (stayman)

2H (4 hearts)

 

example 2

 

1nt (openers bid)

2D (transfer to hearts)

2H(accept transfer)

 

how do I get the 2H bid to reflect two different meanings

 

I need some HELP,

 

trying again at a teaching table,

 

I bid 1nt it shows my correct expalnation

 

then after pass responder bids, 2clubs, 2 diamonds or 2 hearts (these are the four bids I have in my FD file it shows all the explanations I have typed in

 

so now I am at a loss as to how to proceed to make a cc, am I doing something drastically wrong?

 

(I know fred is not here, so any help or ideas would be appreciated)

dwingo as you are here, come to my table I am in BBO now and I will talk you through getting FD up

[fred]

If you see strange things happen either when running FD as on its own or when using FD through BBO, the best thing to do is send me an e-mail containing a description of the problem with the relevant .bss file(s) included as attachment(s).

 

I won't get a chance to look at any of these e-mails (or Forums posts) until Monday at the earliest, but it is almost always very easy for me to find and fix problems if I am able to replicate them. Having the .bss files that cause problems is very helpful as far as that is concerned.

As far as I can tell, the problems that Sceptic reported happen only after an undo at a teaching table. It will be fixed in the next version.
