Re: [Bug-gnubg] gnubg - edit mode - how to choose bear off direction / tray

[Ian Shaw]

The position posted shows White to play 3-2, not Red. That's why the points are 
numbered from White's point of view.

To change who is on roll, click the small chequer icon next to the players' 
names. Click the centre of the board to bring up the dice selection window 
(assuming you have chosen manual dice).

>> You can select the direction of play at any time with the Direction

or, from the menu: View... Play Clockwise.

Many thanks for your input Ian - I did already try that. It only seems to 
switch the 1 point between the *top* two corners. <screenshot below in OP>

The situation I am trying to set up is

1. I am red
2. I started from the top right (moving my pieces anti-clockwise) 2. So I want 
to bear off in the *bottom right hand corner*


Can anybody try to paste this position in their gnubg and see if they can 
achieve this gamestate?

Position ID: EAA22zZg0MCONg

I (Sebalotek) have a 3-2 to play and my opponent (Bob) holds the cube at 2

Thanks again!

Hi,

Please can anyone help?

Please see attached screenshot..

I'm red and I'm trying to work out how to choose to bear off my checkers in the 
*bottom right tray* but I can't seem to find a way. Edit mode seems to only 
allow me to bear off at the top left or right?

The gnubg id is 

Position ID: EAA22zZg0MCONg
Match ID: AYFpAYAAUAAA

Many thanks for any light you can shed - it's probably me being really dense! :)
