-each tc=N st=M (N=number of seconds), M=number of moves.

-each tc=N st=M (N=number of seconds), M=number of moves.

Thanks! So, is this correct (commands bellow), or should i remove -maxmoves 170?

Code: Select all

I apologize for the commands. This is how the control will be 3 seconds per 1 move: -each tc=1/3

[hagtorp]

Alex.
I launched several games with the option -each tc = 1/1 (1 second per move) and it sometimes takes more than a second to think it over. That 1.5 then 1.7 seconds. Try the -help command (in the script manager, click on the cutechess file, the window will pop out, enter -help there and press run, the list of commands will pop out).

Is it possible to run cutechess with Terminal Emu without root and from /sdcard somehow?
I created a home directory sdcard/appHOME and changed to this path in terminal emu home dir settings. ls command lists all the files there (2 engines and cutechess-cli), but shell command can't access these files (says there's no such files or access denied). I even stupidly tried chmodding them with 755 or +x but it didn't work.
Any thoughts?
PS. Shell command file is ok, engines names and other options are correct, I use Hagtorp's method

Hello my friend! Why Terminal Emulator and not SManager? I have no idea how to run cutechess via Terminal Emulator, because cutechess and engines must to get permissions from user, otherwise they won't be found. Maybe hagtorp knows?

Hi Alex, I know it's you!
I got used to Terminal Emu and I'm familiar with it, it seems easier for me. But the methods are similar in both programs.
Yes, the only question is how to make Terminal Emu to get permission to use engines and cutechess-cli placed in /sdcard without root. Or they can only be read/written/executed from /root partition?
I hope Hagtorp could help here

Have you tried chmod 755 cutechess (same for the engines)? chmod 755 is command that gives a permission to open/load engine.

Yeah, I tried chmod 755 and +x for engines and cutechess. The command doesn't show any error code but shell commands file still can't read these files.
Anyway, I think chmod commands work only for root directory. Terminal Emu has already granted Storage access, but maybe it works only with root.
I'll wait if Hagtorp knows anything and will search more on the net

Why not? It is very easy, use SManager or Terminal Emulator.

You were right.
For some bizarre reason I can't run cutechess-cli with Terminal Emulator ("segmentation fault" error), so I thought I can't run benches without root - but I can!

Terminal Emulator will not run cutechess, only SManager, which is easy to use btw. Don't know why you "refuse" to install it. xrf03

I tried SManager (it looked complicated before to me, but you're right - it looks easy now).
I did all the steps from your tutorial, looks like cutechess-cli and 2 engine files are in /data/user/0/os.tools.scriptmanager/files/ (I save them as executables when choosing, right?). They all have a "Run" icons before names.
But running script gives me this error message from shell:

Code: Select all

sh: /data/user/0/os.tools.scriptmanager/files/./cutechess-cli: inaccessible or not found
127|:/storage/emulated/0 $

Are you sure I don't need root for this?

What are you trying to do? To run bench command or to make tournament using cutechess?

Tournament, bench is solved with Terminal Emu already

So, you have copied cutechess and 2 engines in directory Small house->DATA home->files , right? Did you gave permissions to the cutechess and engines?
