i "finally" fixed the history format in arbiter 0.45. there were some "problems" with mouse path saving because i used a dumb formula, but now it is working well. now Arbiter history contains about 32 basic indexes for each game, and you can imagine how many indexes you can build of them. So, i uploaded 0.45debug4 version and it will be the last debug version before 0.45 release. history converter and history browser will be developed a bit later ![]() |

I don't think IMC was made to dictate history parameters to programmers. The only thing they can do IMO is determine which programs are legal for use with best ever lists, and no-one is going to say a program is illegal because it added "illegal" new parameters into its history! I don't think there would be any more fighting about the issue if both programmers agreed to my proposal. |

Having seen the new clone and a testing version of the new arbiter, I have to propose something to the minesweeper programmers, and I'm not sure how either will respond. I'd also like to propose it to the IMC. You know the clone rankings? How much fun info is in there, comparing most of the worlds best players in many ways. This was made when very few people played Arbiter as I understand it. I love the clone rankings. Gradually Arbiter gained support, and got added to the clone rankings despite it not recording clicks into history. I remember this made some coding hassles. At this point, lots of people play clone and lots play arbiter, and not just because of .97 colne having bugs. Also, a few very highly ranked sweepers use arbiter. Now with clone 2006 released, we have a multitude of new things recorded into history: Distance travelled by mouse, flags used, amount of openings, the amount of each number 1-8 displayed on the board, and finally the total amount of squares that have a number. New arbiter will have other things recorded into history, and it's up to rilian to discuss and announce that. I've seen a few and I've liked what I've seen. As it stands though, for what's recorded into history, it's hard to choosse between clone and the upcoming arbiter. Both have unique things in their histories, and I like them all. I think, why should I have to choose? Surely we, as a community, want our two minesweeper programs to be able to have history files that can be compared and ranked side by side, rather than have widely differing indices. I don't mean they should be the same format, but they should be able to display the same index in a "clone and arbiter" ranking. My proposal is: What is recorded into history is not to be complained about by either programmer as "copying". Further more, I think that as soon as either Rodrigo or Dmitriy *decide* that they will add something new into what is recorded into history, that they tell the other programmer to give them an opportunity to code it into their next version too. Let me clarify that I mean the history file, and not anything else like the counters, history window etc. I'd really like a ranking that can use all the goodies that both Rodrigo and Rilian provide. |

Hmmm... New clone looks good ![]() ![]() I don´t like restart under key F3 (too close to F2) because it brings me to UPK mode and that´s annoying for me ![]() Another thing is buggy timer (see attached screenshot - time displayed in counters window is saved into history). Oh and Dmitriy if I remember correctly, you explicitly allowed usage of programmable counters in new clone. Your post about stealing them is thus unfair don´t you think? ![]() |

I just want to give a big thumbes up for the new clone. I realise that it's a big pain for dial-up users like myself to download the .net thing, but clone is worth it. There are heaps of options for nearly everthing. The counters window has a heap of values you can keep track of. All the old values, also you can have openings, mouse distance travelled, RQP IOS and IOE, Ranks for everything, the number of every number in the game (as in "how many 1's are there on this board), how many squares you have opened and more. There are also up to 10 customisable counters you can use. You write your formula (with a list of parameters like .97 clone used for "search" and "autorecord" functions, but with many more available parameters), write it's name, and it appears on your counters window. You can drag and drop each counter to a different place in the window (and leave spaces if you like) to make it easy to read. Autorecord is similar to .97, but it has many more parameters to use. History is similar to .97, and that is great. A few format changes, a few more things useable as parameters for search (meaning that more things must be getting recorded into the history file, such as amount of flags, mouse distance and amount of openings). On a "personal" note, nearly all the prerequisites to figure out MBV/M3BV are there too (getting recorded in history), which is very nice for me. An unfortunate omission from history is the top ten lists. You can do a search for that information, but it is slower. Bring back top ten Rodrigo!! Help file is now a html help file instead of the old notepad file. I haven't needed it or looked through it much yet because clone is very easy to use. For the different modes (classic, UPK, density and cheat), the "restart" thing has a different colour, meaning you won't forget which mode you're in. Normal mode is, of course, yellow. I've seen no evidence of the old bugs whatsoever, which makes sense since Rodrigo lost the .97 source files, and that was the only version to have those bugs. Finally, yes, .net is annoying, but lets say you avoid clone because you don't want a 22 meg download. Some time in the future, you might find something else that needs .net, download it, then think "why not download clone now, since I have .net now anyway", and you might really love it, and be annoyed that you couldn't play a great program for some months just because you downloaded .net later. You might as well get it over with and download .net, even if just to say, "well I don't like clone so I'll use arbiter instead", so you can make an informed decision about which program you use. Just to be fair, I'm not saying clone is definitely better than arbiter, it's just my preference because it is a very impressive program. The upcoming new version of arbiter that I'm helping to test has many features that look quite promising. This long rant is mainly to convince everyone that .net is worth downloading, since for most people, that would be the only obstacle to giving clone a try. Thanks Rodrigo!!!! |

Definitely for MBV (Modified Board Value). This value does not realte much to the 3BV, 3BVis only one (small) part of it. MBBV is a way too long, M3BV - the same. I like the short and exact name: MBV. |

So, with my ideas for a modified 3BV getting closer to completion, I think we as a community need to decide what it will be called. I like M3BV (modified 3BV) but others seem to like MBV (Modified Board Value), and I suppose you could use MBBV (modified benchmark board value) too if you liked. I like M3BV bacause it keeps 3bv in its title, and therefore pays respect to Bechtel. MBV is more concise though. I also like that the M in both versions can stand for "Modified" or "McCauley's", whichever you like. What do you think? ![]() |

Hello everyone! I'm here to annouce that finally, there is a new version of the Clone available!! :) Now, it is called "Minesweeper Clone 2006", and has a huge amount of new features, including: - Game design changed completely into a much more professional look, with lots of icons, and the addition of many helpers of any kind (visual, typing, logical, etc), in order to make the navigation through the windows of the game a much more intuitive activity. - Several bugs that caused program crashes, from version 0.97 beta (and that could not be fixed, because of the loss of source files) were fixed, so no more worry about crashing and missing videos of games. - Measures time in thousandths of second. - Has a much more powerful Counters Window, completely customizable, and with lots of indexes and counters. - Supports the creation of custom indexes to be used in conditions, video file name, or in the history window. - An entirely redesigned history window, 100% customizable for graphics and tables, ability to save statistics in any graphic format. - A full table of buttons to assist typing of all names, conditions and formulas in the game, preventing input errors. - A highly detailed high scores window, with several different records available, with the date, and organized in classic, flagging, and non-flagging. - A proper and complete help file, instead of a readme file. - And much more! And it is REALLY important to remember that if you want to use your history files from previous versions of the Clone, you must import it using the button "Import History", in the history window. You can download the program on the completely redesigned site http://www.geocities.com/minesweeperclone, and also on the mirror http://www.planet-minesweeper.com/clone Everything you need to do to install the Clone is explained in the download page of the site. Please read it. If you also would like to have your history file converted from Arbiter to the new Clone format, just drop me an e-mail. I really hope you will enjoy this version a lot!!! :-) I would really want to know the opinion of you guys about it! Thanks for your patience and sorry for the long waiting. Have fun with it!! Rodrigo. |

Gergel, all vid recording in Arbiter uses extremely precise timer "LMD hi-timer" which gets maximal priority in system for it's operations. Games are recorded correctly, but, as you probably seen, adding a bunch of counters to the counters window does not speed-up game. try to watch game with disabled counters at all and you wil see everything is going well. Another thingy, the only way to calculate so many counters in real time is using the syntax analysing algorithm and it takes much resources. For example, counting 10 indexes will take it go through the analysing function 10 times. now multiply it on a 100 times per second and you willsee that a thousand ore more analysing operations per second are going comparably well.. also, just a note, i guess that calculating/reloading counters every 0.1 second instead 0.01 second will increase speed a lot.. hmm good |

Hey, congrats Levente! - if you're not only making this up. As I watched this video the counter seemed to be extremely slow. Well, first I checked the speed of display but that was OK. So I replayed it twice with a simultaneously running stopwatch (one on the computer and one on my watch). The result is approximately 64 sec both time. ![]() I would like someone else to check this, because that also can be an arbiter lagging problem. I hope it's the latter (because that can be fixed faster than one's reputation). |

And even if vids arent absolute proof they are infinitely better than nothing. without vids you have absolutely no proof, and even after said person (forgot his name) successfully submitted fake vids, dont forget that he was kicked out after they were discovered to be fake! And there are significantly fewer people in this world who can fake vids than people who can find this site and just post wrong scores... Anyway, for what reason don't you post vids? Arbiter takes away a whopping 520 KB of hard disk space, the clone needs ~800KB. Surely installing them (or actually, unzipping them :D ) isnt that much of an effort? Another reason I think we all would like to see vids is, well, it would be fascinating to see a 33 played... ![]() |

@ Lombardi: I wouldn't have believed 33 without seeing the video myself. When I said "so you should have no problem posting .mvf/.avf files", I wasn't saying it would be automatically accepted, I was more saying that to shut the guy up (well, shut, um, you up). As with any sport or pursuit, minesweeper would be greatly enhanced by trainers, better equiptment and reaserch and analysis. I have little doubt even a sub-30 is possible, given the right board, right sweeper and right conditions. Hehe, my verification code is 4-S-E-X. Ah, the possibilities. I'm giong to take a screenshot of it.....OK, posting and linking it... see "website" for link. hehe. |

the point is it's impossible to get score like 33, and it's naive to beleive someone, if he can send you a video of it. i don't know if you guys were posting to this site already, when (fu*k i forgt his name) sent *cheatproof* clone videos to detrusor with new records ( 52, then 46, two days after a 45 followed by a 43 the same day). already this is nearly impossible (like it was for him, too, so here was kicked off the bestever). and you guys would believe him if he sent you a vid of his "33"? there are no extreme low 3bv-boards you could get such a score, even on the clone you wouldn't get it. and even if there is a board with 3bv 70 or less, you won't be able to finish it, because there are too much guesses to solve. and you will be afraid while playing, another argument to blast. AND you have to be a champ like dion to finish even a 70 3bvs board that fast. impossible. and he would have been to this site long before already, because you need a long time to become that fast. how long took it for lanyjé to get 48?? and from there on to 43 or 41? years. how long you think do you need to get a sub40? or a sub37? or even a sub35? i just can laugh about it. that's the point. peace, ladies! ![]() |

So what would you say "the point" is? The rules are quite easy: submit your vids and you will be accepted into the highscore lists. What "The point" is is irrelevant. Actually I think you might be playing some other game, who knows? Changing your record by 20 seconds on this speed level is **** hard in the version we use, and in our version time records actually get lower... |

Which point would that be? The one about the scores being ridiculously false? I got that one. The one about the regular sweeper making a joke about the spammer/cheater? There's no way I could tell between a regular pretending to be a spammer and a real spammer. What you said is similar to what a spammer would have said. I assumed both posts were made by the same person or people that knew each other. |

I am posting to tell you about a new game I hve just finished making. It is called Slick Sweeper 3D and is a fully 3D version of minesweeper. It has cool features like rotating, zooming, recentering, hint, undo, online high scores and so much more. Please check it out at http://www.scidian.com/swslick.html, I am sure you will enjoy it! |

thanks Dennis! Actually it took 183 exp games won in the last 5 days, and now my hand is about to fall off. By the end I wasn't able to top 6.6 c/s, after hitting a peak of 7.02 on the 3rd day. I'm just happy to be ahead of Manu on exp for at least a few hours... watch him get a 47 by the end of the AR! okay and why is the human-identifying text "****"? Someone doesn't know how to spell...

Got another 62 today, on a really hard 124. I'm going to Atlanta tonight and will be gone until Sunday. So I'll have 5 days to return to form and get a better AR. @Maestro: Send your videos to Detrusor, and since you're claiming a WR, it will most likely be required that you send in your history. Also, it will probably be scrutinized. |

@ everybody ! ![]() Finally i finished work with the arbiter 0.45 counters engine, i mean, engine that counts effective clicks, openings, modified 3BV routines, simple clicks and other statistical stuff, so, soon i will renew the arbiter history file format and release this version and you could start recording your game effectiveness history. ![]() i have deleted old 0.43 version from my site and decided to upload 0.44beta version, which has a load of improvements. it has no help file at all and actually is not a release. ![]() _______ Schu, Badgers, Benny Benjamin, i will send you a copy of 0.45_debug version so you could test the MBV (modified board value) stuff before official release. It looks leet, i have to say ![]() happy sweepin all, see ya ! |
