Col Deadmarsh Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 I'm using this thing for the first time and me and my opponent have gotten a late start on checking for the first turn. When is the ber file checked? Is it after both players have moved for that turn? I would assume this is the only way it would work, otherwise a player could open the ber file first, see if the next turn is the last and then rush his men towards the flags.

Treeburst155 Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 The Badco works like this if IIRC: The player who finds himself in a watch/order phase should check to see if the coming turn is the last turn or not since he will be the first to give orders for the next turn. If it is the last turn, he orders a ceasefire after watching the movie and his opponent does the same. Whatever turn ends up being the last turn will always be a ceasefire turn for both sides. If you set the QB for 20 turns +/- 4 you will never give orders beyond turn 23. Turn 24 would consist only of cease fire orders.

Redwolf Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 So the whole thing is just a secure random number generator? Col, I tried to install the thing on four computers now, after the "not enough memory" error on my 256 MB machine, seperate downloading of the DLL the distribution of the endgame randomizer did not carray (dispite its 5.5 MB dowload), only to discover that it says it is not compatible to the version of the randomizer you made the .ber file with. I even polluted two vmware images with it, where I don't get the disk space back easily. I am not amused. We just need a 1/6 chance for our 27-33 turns game, I prefer that you throw a dice and if it's a "6" we end now and repeat that for further turns.

I had an old version of the BADCO program so that might be the problem. I downloaded the new one so lemme send you a new file which should be compatible with you. If that doesn't work, I'll just throw a die. Treeburst, I went back and read the rules again a few days ago and now I understand it, but thanks anyway.

a1steaks Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 There is no such thing as a random number generator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by a1steaks: There is no such thing as a random number generator.<hr></blockquote> There are algorithms and physical devices (like dices) that are good enough for drawing a 18% chance five times. You can also buy CDs filled with random numbers from more sophisticated physical events, if you think that the computer hurts the Panther's resistence to the 76mm or somefink. BTS, please provide an interface to feed our own high-quality random numbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 BER files generated with older versions of the BER are quite often not compatible with the latest version. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
