fred Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 OK - we are almost ready to do a forced upgrade to thegeneral membership, but we would appreciate if youcould check out the latest version and let us know ifyou find any problems. You can update your version: www.bridgebase.com/beta379/bbo_update.exe or download everything (including the new files): www.bridgebase.com/beta379/bbo_setup.exe I suggest you use the first method, but in either caseplease make sure you have exited the BBO programCOMPLETELY before you upgrade. Again there are no new features in this version. It contains only language-related bug fixes. If any Polish, Romanian, or Czech users try 3.7.9, "special characters" should now be displayed properlyin dialog boxes. Please let me know how this works!

Deanrover Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hey. A few messages have not been translated. i.e. "Automated message: This is a vugraph broadcast and you are not allowed to chat" Is this deliberate? Do you want me to explore the whole of BBO for phrases that need translating? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyrolph Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Phew! The special characters in pop-up windows finally work! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Good news about the special characters in dialog boxes. Thanks Florin! 2 more related things I am wondering about: 1) Special characters in the title bars of dialog boxes 2) Special characters in "message boxes" (the littlewindows that report errors, ask you to confirm things,"are you sure you want to exit BBO?" for example). Are these things working? Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyrolph Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 No.... :) they're still ugly!To be more precise, I have discovered the mouse over messages to be ugly, the title of windows such as the chat and dialog boxes such as "Are you sure you want to leave" / "you've been invited to play", thus 3 places so far.

fred Posted July 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Thanks for the info, Florin. As I understand it, the font used for the title bars of windowsand for message boxes is controlled by Windows. There aredefault fonts for these things which can be changed throughControl Panel. So far I have not found a good way to override the defaultsystem font, but I was hoping that it would not be necessary.I thought that everything would work automatically if BBOwas run on a PC with a Romanian (or Czech or Polish) versionof Windows installed. Now it seems that either you do not have a Romanian versionof Windows installed on your PC, I am wrong about my assumption, or you have changed the system font yourselfthrough Control Panel. I suspect that I am wrong :D Can you (or anyone else out there) shed some light on this? Have you seen similar things happen with other programs?

Nyrolph Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 I think I shed some light. I found that version 3.8.0 can show the special fonts in all the places, (using WinXP) IF ALL Regional Settings are set to 'Romanian' (for ex), that is 'Standards and Formats', 'Location' and 'Language for non-Unicode programs'. Will try in a week using Win98 as well.PS: I never used (and don't ever plan to) a Romanian version of any Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 in this new version, when I'm host and try to remove a player, their names dont appear in the boxes anymore... Must choose to remove "North, South, East or West" now. No names...its harder this way...can we add names back please? thanks r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Had a related problem. A team host was disconnected, and I tried to modify the tournment to make one of the other players a director. Software would not allow the change because the host player (who was lsited as one of the players at a table) was off line. I kept getting an error message that "named player" was not onlline and the tournment could not be modified. I use to do this all the time. The solution was I subbed myself in, then changed the named player on the table listing, then modified the tournment, then found a sub for me. Yuck. Maybe I could have changed the player name to sitout and then modfied the match, don't know, will try that next time. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 ben's problem is an old one i think...just that nobody brought it up before. Mm, don't know why I never did. Anyways, its not related to 3.8.0, but would be nice to have a solution... another thing is the list of tourney leaderboards, it is too unmanagable when we try to search for a past result...Automatically highlighting of tourneys that you've been in would be a nice start. (something like how myhands works) :> r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
