When you double click a piece it disappears :(

thats intentional, it allows you to play handicap matches and start a piece down

oh i get it :p

Can you point me in the direction of this control panel?

And where is this control panel that you are talking about?

BTW, great mod! :up:

I was refering to the 12 piece pictures on the left side - clicking a square and then clicking one of the images puts that piece on that square.

Great Job,,, keep the ball rolling...

Requesting please add member ranking system...:cool:

A few things, the Java move doesnt work for me either...It will only work when I type in the co-ordinates.

The FAQ doesnt seem to install itself...

What control panel are you referring to?

Cheers and nice job.

hmmm... anyone else missing the faq?

As for the javascript problems i think i've got a fix for that now.

Disabling html, bbcode [img] code smilies and post icons in the chess forum seems to solve the problem.

Put me in the missing faq group.

I also am missing the faq

ajax will better

ok, i've uploaded an update it contains the faq entries and a fix (i hope) for the vbseo issue you should now be able to enter forum/chess.html as a forumid

This looks like a great mod. Good work!

I recommend checking this Thread, to Disable (if you want to) Duplicate Posts Control on the Forums. You'll need that for the Forum Not to Stop you from Moving when you made a Wrong Move (Example when you try to Move when is not your turn and you decide to Move Again before the 5 Minutes Double Posting Forum Control)!! ;)

How do I disable the "duplicate post" function?

Great Hack Carnage-!! :up:

I hope You Relesa the Checkers Game Soon!! :p

My Best Regards To You!! ;)

:)

Well I've installed the new version, it now holds the chess.html setting but when the chess forum in the site is clicked on it acts like a regular forum and not shows the game.

Also I don't see the FAQ.

FAQ - Is there now. Thanks. :up:

Works now thanks!

Can you choose a different set for the pieces? Something that looks a bit like this -

What a pisser. works fine in 3.6.8 great job!!

If you want to make customised images add a graphic for each of the pieces named by their initial into a new directory inside the /image/chess/ folder and change the relative admincp options.

Also for all of you that are keen on an ajax'd version, using a modified version of the quick reply ajax code i've got it partially working.

My board is also now running 0.2b Changes so far are just to the javascript that powers the replacment of pieces changes are now made to the board as pieces are replaced. Expect a release tommorow sometime once i've had time to change the templates to use phrases properly.

Can't wait.

It'd be Great that the Board refresh it self every X Seconds in Future Versions!! :up:

It'd be also Great to have the Option to Enable/Disable the Hack in the Control Panel Settings for the Hack and not have to Turn it all Off!! :up:

I hope this Ideas can be Useful Carnage-!! ;)

My Best Regards To You!! ;)

:)

This is indeed very original, havent gotten to test it out yet. Waitin for ajax, but Im gonna click install and nominate for MOTM.

Very nice mod!

can you make the game "Do not get angry" ?

Its a nice game :D

Scrabble is a nice Game too, to play with Multiplayer

That'll be what the ajax does, althou i'm probably only going to have it do that for the two players that are acctually playing.

disabling the product is a better way of doing it as it'll save resourses by not loading and evaling useless code.

oh and 0.2b is released.

Great Carnage-!! :up:

I Hope You Implement that Improvement Soon!! :p

My Best Regards To You!! ;)

How do we get the chess board to setup correctly? Meaning the Queens suppose to be on their colour, White Queen on White Square/Black Queen on Black Square, the board needs a 180 degree rotation. You could probable make it so the creator gets the Whites closest to them and the second player gets the Blacks further way.

I've edited your hack to swap the White and Black peaces around.

the board is correct and it isn't correct - it depends on the colouring of your alt1 and alt2 colours. If alt2 is darker than alt1 the board will appear wrong...

on my board if you use the rp skin the board is correct select a different one for example the rouen skin and it appears wrong.

Maybe i could correct this by allowing the admin to switch the options for alt1 and alt2 but as i've demonstrated, this is skin specific.

Yeah forgot that boards can use different color peaces. Sorry!

Yes I think it would be a good option for admins to select.

Can't wait for the Ajax version! Good Hack!

Game allows illegal moves. :(

Think of it as a board game, which it is. You can make illegal moves there as well but it doesn't stop you from playing. The moves made are logged, so it's easy enough to see if someone has cheated.

Yes, but once something is done illegally (by accident) there is no way to move back on your turn is there? You have to wait until the next turn?

Is the board setup the same for both players? meaning is black always at the bottom? it appears to be for me....

yeah black is always at the bottom, there have been suggestions to change this but its not a priority since you could always use the admincp options to flip the colours. (set black to white and white to black)

As for the illegal moves, yes it does allow for them if your opponant makes an illegal move you can take it back in your turn by making the reverse of their move eg they moved a knight (a4,a5) you can reverse it by doing (a5,a4)

How does each player know what colour they are? Does the first player always get a specific colour?

Could each player see their colour at the bottom of their board or is that not possible?

Chers for a great MOD.

Running 3.6.7 and uploaded all....looked great til I posted the first game and it wouldnt move any pawns...yet....I was able to set up the demo page just like the author!

cant wait for the ajax,

and if possible special tournement room and rating. :)

A few notes:

In Chess notation, the ranks (or rows) are numbered starting at the bottom and increase in number as they go up. You might want to conform to this standard as most seasoned Chess players will find your system backwards.

Secondly, it would be nice if posts in a game thread that were NOT moves would look like regular old posts. There's no sense in logging things that aren't actual moves.

Otherwise, I like the hack!
