I need some help from the staff. I can't access my piece graphics. If I
try to use the graphics for Secutor Chess, and I denotch the 'Exclude pieces not
in setup' and press 'test', then the graphics isn't visible and I get
an error message:
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'sets/.php' for
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in
/home1/chessvar/public_html/play/pbm/play.php on line 705

Here is Secutor Chess:
/play/pbm/play.php?game%3DSecutor+Chess%26settings%3DSecutor_Chess
I need this graphics for two variants I want to implement. I designed it
particularly for my variants. Can somebody help me with this? The
graphics file seems to be located in the wrong directory.

I think you're trying to use a set file that was never added to sets.php.
You need to send me the name of your set file, so that I can add it to
sets.php.

Somebody in the staff, please wake up! I have now waited two

Mats,

You haven't yet sent me the information I asked for. Since your pieces are
showing up, I assume that it is using an already existing set file. I need
the name of that file to put in sets.php. I do not need the graphics and
the contents of the set file.

Why is my request being ignored? I want to add my graphics. I have already
programmed three bifurcator presets that I want to add. They will hardly be
played, but I want to add them anyway, while there is so much talk about
bifurcators lately. The graphics is ready, and the list of piece
denotations, also.

Mats,

Did you actually read my previous message? Stop whining about being ignored
and give me the information I asked for. I am waiting for that information
before I proceed. To repeat it for a third time now, I need the name of
your set file.

Fergus, I already sent this to both you and David. I used the email in your
Person Information (fergus@chess.....). I try again.

I see that your zip file is called winter_small_set.zip, but none of the
set files bear the name winter_small_set, and your email has not mentioned
any other name.

M Winther wrote on Mon, Feb 15, 2010 07:28 AM UTC:
Fergus, in Set group 'All', there is a set called Winter : small set. That's all I know. However, I think that David placed this particular version somewhere else. But why don't you create a new set file and give it another name? I provided the $pieces array, so it should be easy.

For your future reference, the quick fix, which doesn't require me to
change anything, is to change the Set Group from All to Unique. You can
then update or test your preset without losing the graphics.

But I have now added your set to sets.php. Your set is called winter-3, and
it is now identified as 'Winter 3' until you tell me something else to
call it.

Although winter-1 and winter-2 were already listed in sets.php, they were
not on my harddrive. This tells me that I did not add these other sets for
you. When it comes to adding new sets to Game Courier, always contact me,
not David Howe or anyone else. Even when someone else remembers to update
sets.php for the new set, I might accidentally overwrite it, because I
normally work with the local copies of the code on my computer. To
guarantee that any changes to Game Courier's PHP code remain stable, they
need to be made to my local copies, not just to the files on the website.

Thanx. I think this piece set is attractive, especially when combined with certain
board colours. See, for instance Mastodon Chess (8x10)
Winter 3 is an extended set of the one that Mastodon Chess uses. As it now
contains so many pieces, this set can be used for many chess
variants. It is smaller than most piece sets. This could be suitable for big-
board variants.
