Game courier is broken: It is no longer possible to resign from games

David Paulowich wrote on Mon, Nov 10, 2008 09:10 PM UTC:

Some of my older drawn games here can no longer be viewed, including a Mir Chess 32 game and a Mir Chess 36 game (quoted below).

This preset will enforce rules and spot check, checkmate, and stalemate. BANNED INPUT: drawn on turn 54: The drawn command has been banned from user input here. Go back and try again. What is otherwise valid user input in Game Courier can be banned in a GAME Code program for the sake of better enforcing the rules. See 'Restricting User Input' in the Game Courier Developer's Guide for details on how this is done. If you believe that your input should not have been banned, contact Fergus Duniho or whoever programmed the rules for this game.

It seems this concerns the automated games in which one of the players has
castled. The Shako games and the Ultima games are okay, but the Falcon
Chess games and the Chess on a Longer Board games are not, and my GCT1
Anti-King Chess game against Roberto Lavieri (who castled in that game)
also does not open.

The View command doesn't work.

There are (were?) also some problems with choosing a piece set.

I'm getting this error message in my active games:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: userid_name() in
/home/chessva/public_html/play/pbm/form_move.php on line 161

This includes timed and tournament games.

The matter that Joe Joyce mentioned is fixed for now. When the database
server wasn't working earlier this morning, I modified Game Courier to
not require userid.php for some things that don't use it, so that I could
still do some thing with it while games couldn't be played. But I guess I
didn't do it perfectly. So I have simply undone what I did until I can
make the modifications more precisely. I will attend to the drawn command
later, as I must go to work soon.

The drawn command works now.

The View form now works. What problems are there with selecting a piece
set?

Resigning from games should work now.

My mistake. I had to fix the preset for Large Nahbi Chess (by rewriting
alfnahbi which Uri Bruck had inadvertently deleted). The problem is simply
that alfnahbi isn't referenced by sets.php yet.
