when this will be fixed?

how can i fill width of chess game to same as my forum size ?

sounds very interesting.
I am eagerly waiting for a final version where illegal moves are impossible..

wow its awesome thanks...i was wondering if u can do the same for pool as i have many member in my forum who like to play pool more than chess..but wow i really love it as i love chess..i will soon install this thanks so much

great installed.

Do you make other games like backgammon? Would be great!!!

if someone wins the game doesnt end? I won but game is still playable :s

yes final version, there illegal moves impossible would be great..

well...i would LOVE it if it would work 4 me :(

i installed it and all and it shows up in admin cp ...i enable it and created a new forum wich id i used for the chess settings...but NOTHING shows up...:(

ANY help would be appreciated !!! THNX

You need to start a thread in that forum. You should see it at that time.

thnx, tulsa !!! now it appeared, but the table is empty and no figures on it :(
edit : WOOOOOT !!! nvm...i had the images in the wrong folder !!! now it WORKS !!! :) SWEEET !!!

edit2 : uhmm...the bad thing is, the autorefresh(ajax) dont work...so u need to refresh after each move...and you can make a lot of illegal moves wich still count...for example i can make 7 moves and my opponent only one...and the game still works...:( that needs to be fixed. CANT wait for a full working version!!! THNX, mate...GOOD WORK !!!

I think if the illegal move thing gets sorted this will be a very popular hack any advances on that part yet?

I want to turn the board for black, how to do that? its hard to play from up to down..

^^^^^ definitely is whats holdiong me back! great idea for a mod!!

I'm gonna go with everyone and praise this mod :up::D Great mod, shame that it's no longer updted...

NICE mod!!!!

My problem is that there are a number of typos in the FAQ, but I can't edit them with the FAQ Manager. Does anyone know where I can edit this?

In the subjects of the FAQ:
How do i castle?
How do i move my piece?
How can I choose who plays i a game?
How do i promote a piece?
How do i play chess?

Also in the FAQ items themselves:
"The game currently dosn't enforce..."
"It is upto the players..."
"...specify the players names..." (should be players' names)
"...click on it and click the pannel to the side..."
"If you dont have javascript..."
"The pieces colour..."
"...the pieces initial..."

There are also a couple of punctuation/capitalization things I'd change, and a few things I would word a little more clearly.

I realize some people don't mind things like this, but the people on my forum are not those kind of people. They are the kind of people who care about spelling and grammar and it makes me look bad to have "my" FAQ contain so many errors, and I'd like to fix it if possible.

This isn't a slam in any way, mind you. I really like this mod and think it is well implemented overall. I assume the author just didn't put as much time into proofreading the FAQ, what with being busy writing the code.

im so interested in the go...

doesnt work for me.
did the whole step by step installation, but after i create a topic it returns a blank page.
Images and chess.php are in the right directories.
Forumid is also correct.

As said above, i got the same problem on my 3.6.2 forum...
Nothing at all shows up after i make a topic...

does this work in 3.7?

*bump* ???

great idea but has alot of problem

I have really been enjoying this (except for the numerous typos in the FAQ) but I just ran into a snag: If you accidentally remove a piece from the board, or you want to promote a pawn, the instructions say to "To promote a pawn the syntax is slightly different. To promote a white pawn on square b8 to a queen you would type (b8,wQ) If the piece is black replace the w with a b. To Promote into a different piece change the Q for one of the following: Q - queen, R - rook, B - bishop, K - knight." However, I tried this and when I tried to replace a knight to the board, using this method, "K" placed a KING on the board, not a knight. Please fix?

will there be any more developments with this?

anyone get this to work in 3.7?

Has anybody tested this with 3.5?

This works okay in 3.7.0 except for the following error every time a game is viewed:

If anyone has any idea what the problem might be then I'd appreciate some advice.

Thanks for the great mod!

Let's see if UNIX forum members like to play this!!

Hey Folks,

This mod is GREAT but still amazing buggy on vB 3.6.8 !!!

For example, the views of the board are different depending on browser (IE and Firefox) or userID. We have problems with AJAX on and AJAX off.

We tried three games, all of them resulted in board errors that make serious play impossible.

This could be a really great mod. What is the current status?

Is it supported?

Anyone interested in improving, further developing or debugging?

Thanks for the feedback!

worked on 3.7 for me

I figured out that this mod was conflicting with the reputation part of Paul M's "Display Unread Posts". Switching this off and only displaying the unread posts lead to the error disappearing. I don't use rep so this mod now works fine for me on 3.7.0.

glad it worked man :D

its a great hack that 3.7 needs

Excellent mod.... i was looking for a good chess game for vBulletin or ibproarcade but only with negative results.

This works well in my forum, is vBulletin 3.7.2 PL1

I will rewrite the code to improve the game a little because it is still incomplete. The mod can't check if the move is legal. I will work in this.

You can view the mod working in vB 3.7.2 here http://megaunder.com.ar/showthread.php?t=2487

PS: Sorry for my bad english :S

ZeK005,,,
Great job...
Keep the ball rolling:up:

i've been toying with a few improvements to this mod on my Dev board. Mostly under the hood changes thou.

I can confirm that it works on Vb3.7, as my own board runs it on that.

This mod is supported, however i only check this board infrequently, so if its important you need to contact me on my own forums as is noted under Support.

ZeK005: if you want to add an option to enforce legal moves, feel free; I could add a hook location or two to allow you to create it as an addon, if you let me know where you want them.

It'd be good if it could be controled by an additional option with three selections:
allow all moves
allow legal moves only
thread based move legality.

Where by the last option would allow a parameter to be specified to enforce legal moves or not.

I have purposfully not included this feature myself, as i've never believed it to be nessisary: your home chess set dosn't do it, yet you can still play chess. Enforcing rules also prevents derievitive games being played or as has happened a couple of times on my forums, a thread that ended in a controversial draw sparked another thread between two members who were arguing as to if white could have forced a win from their position. This custom setup would have had to be done move by move if legal moves were enforced, instead the moves posted already were simply copied into the first post of the new thread.

Great I installed it :) Thanks m8 for your reply

Good stuff! Just installed it on VB3.7.3

Anyone try this on 3.8+?
:confused:

what would be cool is replay arrows under the board; rewind(goes back to beginning of game) forward and back and fast forward (go to last move)

ruger: none of my boards have yet been upgraded to 3.8 so i've not personally tested it; however there is no reason i know of that should prevent it working on 3.8 If you try it, let me know how it goes.

cnbcad: i'll sum up what i've already said about this, the arrows to go back and forward are partially implemented on the dev version; however thats not ready for release yet.
