YaY Ultimate Edition 3

The following comments are expresed for its creator

"Hey Guys,

I just want to share few pictures on how the new YaY Ultimate 3 is coming.

The next picture is just a snapshot of the installation screen.

This time we use and instalation file that will be unzip al the files and subfolders in the right place. Includer folders are Winboard(which includes:polyglot,winboard_x, a powerful winboard.ini file with most of the commands built in, we included a YaY.bin, Rybka2 and a polyglot.ini file ready to play with the included Rybka. This will not be the stronger of the setup but will be YaY work almost instantaneously, even for the newbies. This will be a good starting point and you will evolve and get into a more advance stuff as you progress).

The next shoot shows a screen that will pop in case YaY detects winboard shortcuts in the YaY folder, in order to appear these shortcuts need to pass some string comparisson test to be sure they are shortcuts with the intention to be used with YaY to connect to Yahoo. 3 different preconfigure shortcuts were added: one for polyqlot, one for chessbase and what for no engine at all. You just select the desire shortcut and continue with the log in process. You can add as many shortcuts as you wish but window size limitation will only let you see six, which I thinks is more than enough

The next snapshot shows the user sign in window, now you can save user ID and passwords to an encrypted file in your hard drive and next time these added users will be shown in the dropdown menu. Additionaly you can select to save or not to the save the user to defile or to deleted from the file.

Next screens shows you the Region selection. YaY nows shows 10 different regions and once selected you will be able to see rooms for the Italian server, Mexico, India, Germany,USA etc where you will see some rooms that are not shown in the normal Yahoo pages.

Note that the numbers in the parenthesis next to each room is the actual number of players in that room at that time.

And last but not least a look and feeling of the YaY_Ultimate_3 folder

There is more to come....like new commands: for example a command called profile was added, if you profile a user, YAY will automatically launch the default browser of your computer(Internet Explorer or Firefox or whatever and show the user's profile)....and there is more and more...The documentation will explain what each of these commands is for and how to use it.

OK fellow members, that's all for now, we are still testing and debugging possible errors so by the release date we will give you a more stable and reliable product. We just wanted you have a look on what is going on behind the scenes.
