Hi Guys,
Glad you're making progress on this after my lack of. The scripts
started out very simple and grew as a result of alpha and beta testing,
so I'd advise caution before change.
I'm happy to try to answer any questions about why particular features
are in there if that will help you. In general, the engine packs were in
part created to allow CGOS newbies to easily get started, a lot of the
features are there for their sake. Anything which increases dependence
on the end user's knowledge or expertise is generally a bad thing. Of
course you may wish to abandon this aim, it is entirely up to you.
One issue you have already come across is the need for the trade-off
between consistent playing strength and risk of losing on time, which of
course has an adverse effect on the rankings. The lite pack has been
developed on a single core P4 equivalent (AMD), which is 7-8 years old
to avoid the pack upsetting the ranks if it is run it on an old (or
heavily loaded) machine.
I hope this is useful input. Thanks again for picking it up.
Regards
Raffles

There is a difference in how I have written the batch files, though.
Perhaps that is relevant. I wanted to start/stop each program
individually, and I noticed that several loops can be eliminated in
that case. The code is simpler, and can be simplified further by
making the engine name into a parameter.
Actually, everything above the :LOOP statement is only present for
initialization.

Okay,
I played around a little and have the "heavy" versions working, or so
it seems from watching things go for about an hour. But I failed to
add the low playout count Fuego instances to the "lite" pack. I added
300, 1k, and 3k versions the same way I added the others to the
"heavy" pack and they all start, but as soon as they have to make
their first move they crash. The issue may be that all three are
running in the same directory or they may be missing a file (although
I think I copied everything that seems even potentially relevant).
This caused a few games ending in losses on time. I subsequently
removed the lite-Fuego instances. I could add them to the "heavy"
pool, but that would dilute it too much, as the "heavy" script runs
them on- by-one instead of in parallel.
