Players' choice
BBA allows you to draft any player for any position. This creates great opportunities to use the program, which by default serves as a Table Manager or a manual or automatic TM client.
In order for the obtained results to be as credible as possible, you should use a CC card that matches the style of play of the selected bots. The program folder contains examples of convention cards *.bbsa. The selected Convention Card only affects EPBot's bidding and the interpretation of bids.
The player is selected from the auction context menu (from the header).
Single player can be selected in the ROOM as:
EPBot;
Ben - the default path to run file is "C:\Ben\" or current BBA directory. The folder must have: table_manager_client.exe and subfolders: \config and \models. Table_manager_client.exe creates a huge number of large files in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp which should be delete manually;
GIB - the necessary version 6.1 or 6.2 files must be located in the current BBA directory;
WBridge5 - the WBridge5 program must be installed in "C:\wbridge5\" or its files copied to the current BBA directory;
Standard BOT - any bot that uses Blue Chip Bridge networking protocol and is launched manually;
Manual - any number of items to play locally in the selected room,
and also at TABLE MANAGER as:
Manual member - requires manual entry of bids. This mode of operation is suitable for playing with the table manager as a remote partner;
Automatic member - the bot bids automatically. Useful for playing with the table manager as a standard BOT.
In the text box that appears on the left side of the application, enter the Port and IP address of the manager computer.
The THE WHOLE TEAM section allows you to select the entire team 1 or 2 at the same time.
If the automatic bidding is suspended, program will try to restart a deal and bots after 60 second.
You can manual restart the suspended bot by clicking its checked position in the popup menu again or manually terminate it.
