furiop Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 In the old (windows) version it was possible to open in main lodge a table with me + 3 robots using the montly BB$ fee. Using flash version I cannot do it: I open a table but there is no option for a place reservation for GIB opponent/partner. Is it possible to do it yet in some way?

Trumpace Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 If you can use the windows client, but prefer using the flash UI, there is a way... Create a dummy account, say furiop1. Log on as furiop using the windows client, create the table and reserve a seat for 3 gibs and furiop1. Log on using the flash as furiop1...

barmar Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 When you play against GIB at a table, GIB runs as a separate program on your computer, not on the BBO servers like when you play Money Bridge. But I don't hink Flash is allowed to run other programs, for security reasons, so it can't run GIB this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant590 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Trumpace's solution requires the Win version to be logged in throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you play MBT, the robots run on BBO's servers. When you play against GIB in the main bridge club, the robots run on your own computer. But Flash isn't allowed to run programs. Maybe at some time he'll redesign this feature so it runs the robots on the servers like it does in tournaments. I think his eventual goal is for most BBOWin features to be migrated to BBOFlash, so I'm sure this is on his to-do list. But it's clearly a long list....
