GoUniverse (New KGS client)

[KOCMOHABT]

Another thing I noticed while using the client:

* I post a challenge, with the intention of playing an even game having nigiri.
* Opponent requests match from challenge, but due to rank difference, a handicap is set.
* As the challenger, I want to change the settings back to an even game with nigiri against the opponent, despite the rank difference. I'm able to change the handicap stones, but I cannot change back to nigiri where the stone color assignment is random - maybe due to the rank difference.

Try to click on black/white stone in the challenge window, you will see the magic.

Try to click on black/white stone in the challenge window, you will see the magic.

The black/white stone shows this, but the handicap is set back.

I just tested with an example. I set up a challenge, and an opponent where the default handicap should be 3 challenged.

I changed the handicap back to 0. Now, when I click the black/white stone again, I can get the "nigiri" option back, but the handicap is set back to 3 in the window.

Maybe it's just that the dialog shows the number 3, and it would actually be an even game.

I was afraid to test it out, though, because I didn't want to play a handicap game.

Here's a screenshot (and no, KGS admins, I'm not playing myself. I'm just looking at the dialog window here):

It's a bug. I will fix it in a new version. Thank you.

It's a free game, go ahead and play yourself

Ah, I've been deranked for just chatting about talking about playing a game (which was also free) and then resigning against my wife. I got my rank back by emailing the admins, but it was a bit of a hassle.

Maybe that won't happen here, but just want to clarify before any drastic action is taken

Version 1.4.0

Major changes:

1. With the new version the client works through a new JSON-translator, located on gokgs.com (the old one worked through the metakgs.org translator). The ban issue has been fixed in the new translator. The system of bans now works as in a normal client. In addition, the response time of the client has become the same as in the CGoban client (if you experienced some lags while playing or reviewing games, now everything will be at the same speed as in the native client).
2. Added editing of the own info. In the window of your info was added tabs for working with the list of friends / blacklist and list, for whom you follow.
3. Added the posibility to exchange links on users and links on games in the chat. Adding links works through the context menu of the user and the context menu of the game in the list of the games (link on a game is not a permanent link, it works only while game is active on the server, but link on a user is a permanent link, that's why you can use it in your info).

Minor changes:

1. Added a new sort type of the games (column "vs."). With this type, list of the games is sorting by the strongest player for both sides. This sort type was setted as default type.
2. In a game room nick names of the players (under the avatar) are now a clickable, when you click it the info of a player will be opened. For rengo games, nick names of all 4 players will be clickable.
3. From now you can open your own info just by click on your nickname in the upper right corner (on the left of the "Exit" button).
4. All opened challenges will be automatically closed when your game starts.
5. Fixed a problem with displaying a tab character in a user info window and in the chat.
6. The Private challenges are now supported (challenges opened in a private room are also works).
7. Fixed bug with values of komi and handicap in a challenge window, when the difference of ratings is more than 1, but the players manually set nigiri.
8. Increased the font size in the chat.
9. In the window with user info was added a checkbox "only ranked". Depending on it, either the general statistics of games or only rating games will be displayed (the field "recent games" also depends on this flag).
10. The RecentGames field has been changed. First, W and L were replaced by more standard O(win) and X(lose). In addition, all the characters are now clickable, after clicking on any of it the corresponding game will be opened.
11. Fixed bug that user couldn't start a own challenge while being in a private chat.

Hi KOCMOHABT,

Thank you.

Some months have passed since I tried to use this new version,
and I have forgotten how to run it, on various platforms.

Could someone ( Kirby ? ) update this table ? Thanks.

Code: Select all

Platform      Browser

Windows       Chrome ( only ? ), Firefox ( ? )
Mac OS        Chrome ( only ? ), Safari ( ? )
iOS           Safari ( Unsupported ? )
Android       Chrome ( only ? )

The main problem with FF, that they will check my extension for months. It was funny last time when i released a new version of WGB, but FF team didn't checked my previous version.
About Safari and iOS, it's hard to say. I haven't tried to make a corresponding extension.
Anyway there is an idea to run GoUniverse on gokgs.com, then you will be able to use it with any browser on any OS.

Version 1.4.1

- Now all 4 players in a rengo game have black/white marks in the list of players in a game room.
- Fixed bug with rengo game record in a user archive.
- Fixed problem with clocks when the opponent added time for you.
- Now user can add a time to the opponent during a match.
- Added a panel with "Start review" button after end of the match.
- Link to the player under his avatar in the game room now has a regular context menu.
- Fixed bug with setting roles in a demonstration.
- Implemented finding an admin feature in the chat room.
How it works:
Type "\admin;" message. (There must be no characters before the command "\admin;", the text after the command will be skipped)
You will see a message with links on currently online admins (nobody except you will see this message)

Hello, the new version of GoUniverse ask me access to my browsing history, i dont understand why its needed?

I've tried to reinstall extension and didn't see anything like that. Can you describe how this happens?

[Fenring]

I just uninstall, and when i search extensions on chrome web store , find Go Universe and click on the button "add to chrome",
i see a windows with :
" This extension can:
-Read and change your data from websites files.gokgs.com and http://www.gokgs.com (which is normal)
-Read your browsing history"
My chrome is in french(as you can see with my poor english), so maybe not exactly the same sentence in english.( i just checked with chrome in english,and its the same)

[KOCMOHABT]

I've reproduced that. It will be fixed in the nearest update, thank you.

Is it possible to see the Open Games tab, Active Games tab, and Fan tabs? They're quite useful, but they don't seem to appear for me.
