I think we have a new bug in Dark Chess too...  I challenged a friend to a game, he accepted and made a single move, and was awarded a checkmate!?!  Now, he's thrilled with the result as it gave him a very easy boost in his ELO rating...  but I think we do have a problem :)

Here's the game

Hello everybody I downloaded chessblock, but I have no idea where to download Tiny Portal from, can some body help me out. I use Smf 1.1.6, thanks in advance.

Godsongz

If chessblock is your only reason for wanting TP, don't bother.  Chessblock is not integral to the operation of SMFChess, and TP (while very useful for a lot of things) is a MAJOR change to your forum.

Should you decide to go that way though, TP can be found at http://www.tinyportal.net/

Hi,

we have done all the manual edits and created the tables in the DB yet the chess mod wont show. Any ideas?

Thanks for this Godsongz
Went over it, and realised the mistake
uploaded a new version
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=download;mod=1102;id=70432
To Manually Update:
Just extract the zip file and copy ChessFunctions.php & ChessXml.php to your Sources Directory

Went through several games with no issues

Feeble, I followed these directions (and overwrote old versions) but the chess mod is till listed in package list as 1.0, not 1.1. Anything to worry about?
No that's perfectly fine,
I don't know how to make patches for SMF Mods at this point in time(to be honest, I've forgotten how)
The files that you are copying over are just the changed files.

trying going to ?action=chess
I apologize for the trouble you've had.
I'm not really to sure why you got the modification parse error. I have a feeling its to do with a php5 limit but can't be certain since no one else has had it.

Thank you feeble for releasing 2.0 version! Been standing by waiting patiently.  :D

I had the same issue, but already corrected it with the new version. Let's see how it goes this time.

This is one very professionally done mod, one of the best around. I don't suppose I can be greedy and ask for more like this, such as a checkers one ;-)

Anyway, thanks for the effort 100/10!

No go on the index.php?action=chess :(

Feeble,

On Dark Chess, is it supposed that every player now can see both its pawns and the opponents? Because before we could see just our own pawns and now we see everybody's pawns the whole time.

bumping...

from what I read, in Dark Chess each opponent can olny see opponents pieces if they can be "taken", like this:

White View:


Black View:


What happens after the fix is that all the pawns are visible the whole time to both players. Is is supposed to be this way?

Hi everyone i just installed this package and it installed successfully and i see the chess admin but i cant find the link to the chess page in my menu,im using a custom theme.

ladyshanae

Cafenubia - you need to add the link yourself to the top bar since you are using a custom theme.  You can access the page by going here:

http://yourboardURL/index.php?action=chess

As for me, I'm getting a TON of Undefined index errors.  I am not that familiar with what the error itself means, though I know it's coming up pretty much every time I access any part of the chess mod.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?  I've tried to do searches here, but I'm coming up empty handed.

Thanks :D

Would you copy and paste the actual error into a post here?

ladyshanae

One of them looks like this:

Quote8: Undefined index: SMFChess_admin
File: /home/.leucorhinos/ladyshanae/hprpg.net/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2904

The code on the line is:

    'title' => $txt['SMFChess_admin'],

Another error looks like this:

Quote8: Undefined index: SMFChess
File: /home/.leucorhinos/ladyshanae/hprpg.net/Sources/Chess.php
Line: 53

The code on the line is:

'name' => $txt['SMFChess'],

These are just some of the errors I'm getting.  I'm not familiar enough with PHP to understand exactly what 'undefined index' means, so help there would be super because I really don't mind troubleshooting - but when I'm not sure what things mean, it makes it a little hard!  :)

Do I have something missing from a language file maybe?
