Hi!
Playing arround with scids FICS interface for observing
games I found that it would be pretty usefull to add
something like
button $w.bottom.right.silence -text "Silence" \
-command { ::fics::writechan "set gin 0"
::fics::writechan "set seek 0" }
grid $w.bottom.right.silence -column 1 -row 1 -sticky ew
to the connect method. It just switches off game information
(begin/end of games) and seek display.
For observing games receiving of seeks and game infos is not
that desirable IMHO, especially if one wants to see the
whispers and kibitzes within the output. A better way to
deal with this would probably be to gag seeks from the
output window.
Additionally I found that the setting of the game clock by
the server seems to confuse scid. I.e. if a game is relayed
the clock information comes from the relay. So some
additional parsing is required here. Currently one gets an
"error reading move <last move>" after the next move is
entered.
One could also think about adding kibitzes as comments to a
game that is currently observed, this could probably be of
some interest for a later analysis.
Now I've also to report a slight bug: closing the fics
console by the close button of the window manager (ie. not
using the Close button of the dialog) throws an error
message.
