Custom FET MA (mornings/afternoons or Morocco/Algeria)

[Liviu Lalescu]

You are welcome! 

[Pure]

Dear Sir,
I couldn't install the newest version FET.MA, I have an old version, should I uninstall the old one?

[Liviu Lalescu]

Dear Pure,

Please call me simply Liviu 

There should be no problems with having multiple versions. Please show me the error message you get. What MA version do you use?

You could try to remove the configuration settings of the old MA. Windows: search the registry for the section fet, key fettimetabling, remove it. Launch FET-MA17.

I am not sure I will reply this night, because it is 23:41 now here.

[Liviu Lalescu]

I released the new FET-MA18 version. Minor things, but the seeds behavior changed for some files. Please report as soon as possible if your file was solvable with FET-MA17, but not with FET-MA18. The link, as usual: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/custom/ma/

I hope I have good news for you: I just finished integrating the custom FET-MA18 into the new FET-6.0.0 official version. But I am still in testing and it will be a long way before releasing the new official FET-6.0.0. Please let me know if you would like to become a tester / help me testing, by writing here or by email to me (see https://lalescu.ro/liviu/ for email address).

I wrote here: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?topic=4794.msg26575#msg26575 about the new snapshot for FET-6.0.0. For the moment, there is a snapshot version there, including a Windows executable version. You might want to help me with testing.

The new official FET-6 version will incorporate mornings-afternoons, all you have to do is to select an option in the menu. I hope you will appreciate it. You can test this facility and please report if starting with the same random seed FET-5-MA18 and FET-6-snapshot do not give the same ending random seed, and send me that file.

Thank you dear Liviu;
I hope I get the time to test the new version 🙂

[Liviu Lalescu]

You are welcome! I hope you'll like it as much I I do 

Note that you cannot open new files with the old FET. So keep the MA18 file for reference. It must solve with the same start and end seed for MA18 and 6.0.0-snapshot, in nearly the same time, this is the test.

Also, note that some constraints are changed in names. We only have "days" and "real days" in the new constraints. Old files are opened correctly.

[Benahmed Abdelkrim]

Yes I like it very much.
But what about translation?  It would be long and tiring work if we translated all these new fields again into the official version?  There must be a trick that can be used?

[Liviu Lalescu]

Oh, of course, it's good that you reminded me. I will use your Arabic fields from both the official 5.49.1 and MA18 to the new official 6.0.0. But some fields were changed.

If I forget, please remind me.

[Benahmed Abdelkrim]

Thank you. Ok no problem 🙂

[Liviu Lalescu]

I added a new snapshot version, fixing a bug: the generated locked file was saved with mode "official" always. I changed the location of the snapshot (test) version: https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/test/

مرحبا
مستعدون للمساعدة، كما لدي عديد من ملفات الصعبة يمكن مشاركتها معكم

[Liviu Lalescu]

Thank you, Mr. BOUHADEF!

To help me testing:

Starting with the same random seed in both FET, run the same file on the old MA18 ( https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/custom/ma/ , get the MA18! ) and the new FET-6.0.0-snapshot ( https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/test/ ). The random seed after the generation must be identical and the generation times must be comparable. Otherwise, please report the file (in MA18 format) and the random seed.

Not really need to check very difficult files, but files with many combinations of constraints.

Also, you can send me the files (in MA18 format), but files which finish in at most 30 minutes. And note that I need MA18 format files, because FET-MA18 cannot open FET-6.0.0 files.

I will write to Volker, but I am not sure he can do it.
