nikos59 Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 There has been and will be a *LOT* of Vugraph in BBO thisweekend, also in the two next weeks. It is impossible forone person to watch all of them live, so it would be nice tobe able to watch them offline. Also it is a pity to have our"collective memory", so to speak, vanish. Hundreds of BBO users are watching the events, if notthousands -couldn't you mail me the .lin files thatare automatically stored in the Bridge Base Online\Handsfolder in your hard disk? I would prefer complete filesfor one segment, obviously. If you happen to have conserved earlier files,these are also precious if they come from lesserevents that are not archived in BBO site or YvanCalame's site (i.e. unlike the World Championships etc.) I intend to have these files posted permanently atmy website so that they can be accessed by all. My email address is: sarant-at-pt-dot-lu(remove hyphens, replace at with @ and dot with .) So, let's start to conserve Vugraph data!

uday Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Nick, if you email the complete set of any one event, i will be happy to save them permanently in the vugraph archive We really should make the server log these files automatically.

DenisO Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 "We really should make the server log these files automatically." That would solve all our problems of trying to capture these broadcasts. Is that a promise , Uday? - that BBO will log them and make them available. After all they are very small files. Then Nikos wouldn't have to appeal to the bridge community to capture the broadcasts. Obviously a lot of hard work goes into these broadcasts by the organisers and commentators - it seems a great shame that saving them is left to a few who know the techniques of getting a decent log on their hard disk and unfortunately cannot be at their PC many times when they would like to log a Vugraph.

uday Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Someday, we definitely will do so. But our resources are scant, scant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdct Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 The LIN files for this weekend's Victorian Open Team Playoff are on the VBA website: http://www.vba.asn.au/VicOp.html There is a slight problem with the file for session 5 where board 11 was passed in at both tables, but when you open the LIN file, no data appears in the scoresheet for boards 12-16. You can still look at those hands OK, but the running score doesn't change after board 11. If anyone has the capabilities of fixing this I would be most appreciative.

mrdct Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Thanks for that. I have now fixed the file for session 5. All 6 files on the VBA website work properly. I've also added a few photos - http://www.vba.asn.au/VicOp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenisO Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Nikos' initiative here is REALLY working well. He has nearly all the Italian and Polish matches from last weekend. Now he is putting up the Cavendish matches - with help from myself, Cascade, Uday and Erkson - all on different time zones. More helpers would be great I'm sure - so if you regularly watch the Vugraphs, just make sure you have logging enabled on your profile and you will capture them to your hard disk. The important bit is to stay with the Vugraph until the operator closes the room - if two rooms are broadcast switch to the one which closes second - that way you catch the whole broadcast - even though you might not have watched it from the start - like magic! Then just send to Nikos - his site is :http://www.sarantakos.com/bridge/vugraph.html Deniso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
square Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Is anyone interested in saving the chat logs of the comentators ? I have sent some lin files but wont Nikos get inundated with duplicate files ? How do we know which ones he hasn't already got ?

ChrisHi ChrisI don't think he will get inundated but it's probably best to visit Nikos' site first. He normally indicates which files are missing for an event.

nikos59 Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 First of all, I must thank very much all those who helped!Well, lin files are tiny so I won't get inundated if I receivethem several times (for small values of 'several'). I did receive three times the 2,3 and 6 rounds of Cavendish-which also served as an indirect validation since the fileswere all the same. I have posted them now. You can also help by seeing if you have any *earlier*lin files. As it was pointed out, I usually flag which files are missing/incompleteso you can always fill them later. For instance, both Polishand Italian championships had missing data but now theyhave been completed. Thanks again for the great help!
