| Andreas Speiger (Andique)

I think you must give the relevant pieces in the piece-definition the macro (attribute never-moved? true) before the movesection. | ||
| Andreas Speiger (Andique)
New member Username: Andique Post Number: 17 Registered: 11-2007 |
for example: (piece (name Squire) (notation "S") ; Short for Squire (image White "images\ROYALCHESS\WSquire.bmp" Black "images\ROYALCHESS\BSquire.bmp") (attribute never-moved? true) (moves (move-type normaltype) (Squire-moves) ) | ||

For what it is worth, I have taken Mariano’s files and have made a .zip file out of them. The game appears to be playable, and it is a good first attempt at making a Zillions file. Since the sound files add 150 megs to a file that is otherwise under one megabyte in size, I have removed those. http://microblog.samiam.org/ZoG/other/TRC.zip | ||

Oh thats cool,, is there possible to use this command?: verify in-zone? If not, how can i express that? | ||
| Garry Francis (Warrigal) New member Username: Warrigal Post Number: 5 Registered: 7-2012 |
You have to define a zone first using the 'zone' keyword. You would normally use this to define something like special cells, a destination area or a promotion area. There is a good example of the latter in the online help. | ||

Also sometimes the pc craetes pieces from nowhere, i think its a bug, how to prevent this? | ||
| Sean Duggan (Dream)
New member Username: Dream Post Number: 84 Registered: 9-2000 |
Do you know which piece is being added or which source piece it says is being moved? Usually, to add a piece out of nowhere, you need either a drop command or a situation involving cascade where you get more than one piece added during a move. One thing which is jumping out at me, why does the Knight moves set map to m1 through m8? It happens for both sides. The "fixed" version by Sam instead maps it to k1 through k12, but that probably isn't right either. I assume you want that to work like a regular chess knight?  In general, can you describe each piece's movement? It's difficult for us to figure out if your pieces are doing what they're supposed to when we don't know what they're supposed to do. | ||
| Sean Duggan (Dream)
New member Username: Dream Post Number: 85 Registered: 9-2000 |
I think I understand everything except the castle maneuver, which is the one which is the one which is generating the error messages involving a move being generated on B12 with no piece there. I'm going to assume that castling always places the king two steps to one side and involves the rook (and all of those attendant bits where you have to have empty spaces in-between, not attacked on any of those spaces, etc). As a general thing I've found when implementing wider boards, this makes castling more difficult, since it involves more spaces that need to be cleared. Once I set that up, I'll provide a link to the ZRF and you can let me know whether it fits what you expect. | ||

Check this out and see if it works for you. I did some guess-work on the Squire piece. It looks like it acts like a Pawn except that it can always move forward two (risking En Passant by Pawns and Squires) and can promote to all of those other exotic pieces (which never happens when I play in Zillions, but that may be an artifact of how it handles piece value). https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zs1f00dr9n61fp/TheRoyalChess.zrf | ||

It was a good first try. Really, the one thing you missed was cribbing mechanics from the version of chess that shipped with it. That's how I did a lot of my chess variants, reading the code that exists and figuring out how to change it. Incidentally, did I guess right on the Squire movement? | ||
| Mariano Moran Fougerat (Marianomf)
New member Username: Marianomf Post Number: 22 Registered: 10-2013 |
Thank u for teaching me lots of things, well the squire on its initial move goes 3, the castling i couldnt put it for (o-o-o-o)(o-o-o-o-o) but the rest was like i designed it, just perfect.

Huh. I'll admit that I don't quite get what you intend with the O-O-O-O and O-O-O-O-O maneuvers. Both of them require more movement than can be done without moving the King first. And, out of curiosity, how do you feel Zillions doesn't properly handle castling correctly? I know there's a common misconception that the rook can't be threatened anywhere in transit if that's what you're thinking of. Lastly, your Squire still won't move 3 spaces for their first move, but that should be easy enough for you to implement based on how the Pawn does it (protip: Add a 3rd row zone and check that after the first two moves). You might want to reconsider how en-passant works if you want to avoid the Squires stepping three and escaping attack. | ||
| Sean Duggan (Dream)
New member Username: Dream Post Number: 89 Registered: 9-2000 |
Make that, add a 4th row zone since it's two from the 2nd row. :-P | ||

New member Username: Marianomf Post Number: 23 Registered: 10-2013 |
Thank u for the suggestion, it worked perfectly the Squire 3 forward check it on https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zs1f00dr9n61fp/TheRoyalChess.zrf The castling (o-o-o-o)(o-o-o-o-o) means a castling of four squares(short one) and of five squares (long one) | ||

2?, ((its 4 (o-o) and 5(o-o-o) I kept the 2 Os and the 3 Os for the idea of short and long castling)o) I intend to keep it as in the dropbox link version is | ||
