Command by commands, do not skip any one... The 1st till the last

Or just use this one: polyglot make-book -pgn games.pgn -bin book.bin -max-ply 30

HI all! Some friends in adv. lounge still didnt find how make a bin book to polyglot, so, today I decided to make a Step by Step... To everybody that has same problem or just start using poly right now and wanna make bin books too!

Step 1: You need polyglot folder in C:\ drive

Step 2: To make a bin book you will need a pgn file too, which has collection of games, inside polyglot folder

Step 3: Open your MS-DOS and it will look like this:



Step 4: You have to change to it typing 'cd c:\polygot' :



Step 5: Now you are ready to put the 7 commands you find in readme file inside polyglot folder, anyway I posted the commands:

polyglot make-book -min-game 1 -uniform -only-white -pgn games.pgn -bin w1.bin
polyglot make-book -min-score 50 -only-white -pgn games.pgn -bin w2.bin
polyglot make-book -min-game 1 -uniform -only-black -pgn games.pgn -bin b1.bin
polyglot make-book -min-score 40 -only-black -pgn games.pgn -bin b2.bin
polyglot merge-book -in1 w1.bin -in2 w2.bin -out w.bin
polyglot merge-book -in1 b1.bin -in2 b2.bin -out b.bin
polyglot merge-book -in1 w.bin -in2 b.bin -out mybook.bin

Your book is ready!

PS:
1. game.pgn and mybook.bin were according to my files, make your changes if necessary
2. I make bin book in that way, any comments or something different let me know
3. Good bin book is made if we use good pgn file...engine vs engine

A quick question supremex....
Is it necessary to go in to the same order??for the first 4 commands?I mean to say can I make book w2 first[big database] and then bookw1[selected lines]...
and then the same for black...and then the merging operation in the order u hv provided....I know this question does not make sense...but I just want to ask that if I do like that...is it gonna affect the book??any negative impact??
Thanks...

An excelent job man, We all must be now able to make our own books and not depend on someone's book.

Many thx...

[lows]

ohh k lets start all over again the first thread let me with some dudes and this one its on his way almost getting there......
step i all'ready did


1. create a polyglot folder

2. i add it to the to the c:\local disk

3. got inn the polyglot 1.4w and the command prompt

4. choose the pgn - add it to that folder and name it (games.pgn)

5. change the usual command prompt from my name to c:\polyglot(as supreme suggest)...

6. time to add the lines and im done happy with my book????...........how i got to add those lines 1 by 1 all at the same time???
either one gives me and error "polyglot its not reconize as an interval or internal command-

CAN SOMEONE CORRECT ME I DID SOMETHING WRONG OR MISS ANY STEP'S
I HAVE NOT VERY CLEARED WITH THE "PS" OF MAKE YOUR OWN ADJUSTMENT'S I CHANGE THE PGN NAME TO THE
SAME THAT WHERE USING OR I'Am MISTAKING SOMETHING

PLZ REPLY FORUM

TY: IN ADV..

[matematiko]

The file polyglot.exe or whatever the name is, must exist in the folder you are when launching the command.

My practice is to copy this file to the same folder where the pgn file resides.

Hope this helps, good luck

[lows]

yes ,mate thank you for the reply - i did the folder and got inn the polyglot.exe on it
with command prompt plus the pgn -all 3 files are inn on that folder after i launch
the command prompt i type c:\polyglot (and punch enter) .....witch command line i'm suppost to enter ....i've been trying set off the 7 mencion by supreme and thats ween i get
that error

hope that help's

OK Folks, here is an easier way to execute book commands.

Download to the folder where you have polyglot.exe, cygwin1.dll and a PGN database this command batch file:
http://h1.ripway.com/matematiko/Book.cmd

Don't run it yet. Open it with a text editor like notepad, and you'll see that it has only one line of code:

cmd.exe /k polyglot.exe make-book -pgn New.pgn -bin book.bin -max-ply 30

cmd.exe will launch the command prompt window.

/k The /k option will make the command prompt window to stay open, this is useful to see if there were any errors.

polyglot.exe This launches polyglot.

make-book This tells polyglot to start in book making mode.

-pgn New.pgn -bin book.bin -max-ply 30 And these are the options parsed to the book making section of polyglot. This is just an example, you should come up with your own commands that fit your needs.

This post is not about how to make books with polyglot, is about how to issue the
commands, so you should know what command to issue and for this you need to read the
documentation that comes with polyglot.

If you don't want to download the file because you think it has a virus that will reformat your computer, is OK, don't download it. Just create a new one, is very simple: right click in an empty space in the folder where you have polyglot.exe, cygwin1.dll and a PGN database, select new, them select text file. Then name it to something like whatever.cmd, then edit it as you wish.

Note: By default, windows does not show the extention of known files(.txt in this case), so to rename it you gonna have to go to a procedure that is beyond the intent of this topic. If this is the case, you gonna have to find out in your own how to rename the file or just download the one I am providing.

Cheers,

I tried this also Matematiko but with the multiple big files, but it only executed the first line for white. Isn't it possible that i can make that, or impossible that one .cmp-file can have all command lines to create a multiple big .bin maybe? I tried it but it stopped after the first line-string.

Thx in front my friend

[gadogado]

Although the topic is old but I still can not make any bin book.

Note: my window : xp 7
