Game records download

Post by Excalibor »

Hi all!

Is there a link to download game records from the new TygemBaduk server, or just through the client?

Thank you very much!

It actually stores a copy of the game on your computer automatically in the Program Files/TygemGlobal/Games/ folder. They are in .gib format and would need to be converted to SFG using another application.

Yes, I found out I can use Multigo, for example, to convert it to SGF... I was thinking on a web profile where you can download your game records as you can do in KGS (http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?user=PlayerName) or IGS, for example; I can't find anything like that in tygembaduk.com...

It's useful to get just records on different computers without the need to install the client and connect (which can be hard through proxies, etc).

Thanks anyway! :-)

On my Windows 7 (64-bit) system it is storing the games in:
C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\TygemGlobal\Games

None of my standard programs (Drago, MFoG, SmartGo) can open this format, so I guess I'll have to use MultiGo as a converter.

If you point Dropbox at the Games folder, you should be able to access them from more or less anywhere, right?

Interesting, saving the games on the net... It may be a way to overcome this limitation (which is certainly useful! Particularly in KGS you can download all games of a given player, by month, which is great to study their strong points and learn from them, e.g. attacking, shapes, etc...)

thanks for the advice! :)

I agree, it's a really useful feature of KGS, enough to be worth emulating client-side for other servers, like with Dropbox.

I have found that the game you save via Tygem client for Windows (XP) is in:
Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Temp\TygemGlobal

It is hard to find it, and the game is saved as download#.gib file. Moreover, on my WindowsXP machine Tygem client is saving a game always as the same file, so you can save only one game at the time, then copy it elsewhere, and save another one.
