Bugginess onn Firefox and an Update Log

Open radicalmunchkin opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

It would really be cool if you had some sort of report about the changes made to the extension. I'm kinda confused with the changes made and want to know why you can't choose which engine you want to use. By the way, the engine is extremely buggy on chess.com with firefox. For context, i'm using violentmonkey which is the only way that it works on lichess (it shows a blank board with tampermonkey on lichess). Today when I used it it kept giving me errors every few moves, it's really bad. I barely know how to code apps in python, so I don't really have much of a clue why it does this, and why it's being so buggy.

Hmm, there are lots of engines to choose from, if you need engines like Lc0 which use SharedArrayBuffer, launch A.C.A.S with the ?sab=true URL parameter. I have always thought engines without SharedArrayBuffer would be slower but the Stockfish 17 WASM single threaded offers kind of the same performance as the multithreaded one in my experience. Then, the way A.C.A.S enables SharedArrayBuffer on GitHub pages is a bit hacky so I just think it's better to default to the single threaded ones.

As for the update log, would be wise for sure. I have added a bunch of new things lately so I understand it can be confusing, but have also tried to update the docs, have you read it?

What engine?

I can replicate this so I can try to fix it. Not sure how long it has been this way. I'll probably avoid making new features and just rewrite the code and fix bugs since some files have grown to quite large sizes and it's just not great maintainable code.

What engine?

The normal engine, I don’t have the option to choose any engines now. I usually use A.C.A.S. by opening up a chess.com tab and letting it automatically open an acas tab. This tab is the homepage for your io website, and then I click on “Open A.C.A.S.”, which then sends me to the actual tab for the tool. This one crashed a lot, it kept just spamming the same error every few moves.

You should have at least like 5? Click the settings button.

I cannot replicate this. Also, do you remember what error?

Hey man, sorry that I haven't answered you in a while, but I mainly gave up cheating (and chess for a bit) but I checked back and there was no issue with A.C.A.S. other than the fact that every time you open a game it open up a tab of the ACAS website, not the actual gui.

You shouldn't use A.C.A.S to cheat anyway.

Not what I meant, but I still wanted to let you know of that little issue.
