Hi,
Some days ago we (Catalan players community) play an important tournament with Eliot as tournament software. Some issues were found when using Eliot.
Note: we use Arbitration (duplicate) mode, using a Master game template, and DISC 2.5.12 [1] (Catalan word list)
Issues:
1. If you need to add manually a move (word and coordinates), because it isn't in list of movements (word-coordinates-score), then it's always computed as invalid move (0 punts). An easy workarround is set 0 as game listing limit, so all moves are computed and listed in move list.
2. Sometimes, after pressing"Search" button, list of movements is empty. No moves are shown. A workarround is type a filter and clear it. Then moves are shown in list of movements.
3. A weird and bad thing (maybe is It related with 1?). In a game 3 players play same movement (word, coordinades, score), but Eliot assings different scores!? One player gets 46 points, and 2 other players get 0 points! I attach game file (Mundial2015-mati-Mancor.eliot). See round 9: PRES 15H
4. Very close to 3. There were moves zeroed incorrectly. See round 7 of 2n attached file (Mundial2015-mati-elPrat.eliot). Round 7, MOCARIA 5D is a valid movement, but computed as zero by Eliot. :(
5. Sometimes, When you create a new game with a Master game Eliot crashes (Catalan dictionary, Arbitration mode). I cann't get you any hint. Eliot rashes and closes automatically.
6. Minor issue. I was unable to change language menus on OSX. Neither Catalan, Spanish or French. On OSX Eliot only shows menus in English. On Linux or Windows I was able to change Eliot language menu.
Issues 1 to 4 are really a problem for us (Catalan community). We are trying to promote duplicate scrabble variant, and Eliot is a great tool, but such issues are a pitty. I dont' know if these issues are shared by other lang/dictionaries, or they are caused by digraphs tiles (French distribution are free of them).
Any help?
Yours,
Joan Montané
