OK, I uploaded the white SVG image to the alfaerieSVG and svg/alfaerie dierctories, where fen2.php can find it, and put all derived PNG in the alfaeriePNG and alfaeriePNG35 directories.

There are no solid pieces in the Alfaerie set; black pieces are made by filling the outline pieces with blue. So I had no use for the second image.

I repost this message that got unanswered, because I fear I was not clear given the volume of our numerous daily messages.

I need a Badger. I have designed one and tried as much as possible to respect the parameters of the 'wking' for the example. Are they good enough? If yes, could they be added to the Alfaerie list?

Here they are in png. I have also made the .svg that can be modified if necessary

It will be cool if I can get an answer.

Happy new year again

@HG: what do you think about this? Thank you.

I'm attempting to add your Badger to the Icon Clearinghouse, but having an issue with uploading. But I'll get it somehow. :)

@HG or anyone else havin authority for managing the Alfaerie list of pieces: I'm going to need a Badger!

I have design one from a model and tried as much as possible to respect the parameters of wking for the example.

Are they good enough? If yes, could they be added to the Alfaerie list?

And ... Happy New Year 2024 to all friends there!

Is there a SVG icon for "Elephant-Rook", I mean RA in Betza's notation?

I don't think so. But when using fen2.php to render the SVG you can make arbitrary combination icons by connecting the image names with two hyphens. Like belephant--rook:

To HG: this Wolf's SVG looks a bit confusing when seen in small size on a big board. What is strange is the rounded lower side. Because the mouth can be taken for the ears or the horns of something else and the ears can be taken as a mouth. I would suggest that you make a straight horizontal line for bordering the head in the bottom (like for other animal's icons, horse, camel, etc.). I hope I am clear...

Great dog/wolf svg, thanks HG

For me, more piece images = good thing (though of course I'm quite a piece-nik). I'd make a bunch if I could, but I lack both the talent and the tools.

Because the Alfaerie set frequently disappointed me when I needed a canine images, I now created a wolf image for the SVG and PGN sets:

BTW, there is something very sick in the Comment submission system. Several times now the message that I am posting did not appear, and no amout of retries would make it so. I would have to sign out, and then sign in again, and post entirely from scratch to make it work.

@gbtami if you want to do, I can create Makruk Alphaerie with drawing Ferz and Khon but taking proPawn from here’s Ferz.

May I ask you to provide a license in the download, please?

It's very nice seeing the Zebra compounds! I can use the Zebra/Rook for my Kuhani, and Zebra/Bishop for my Mtawala. I'll still need a Zebra/Queen for the Malkia, though (and a Camel/Queen for the Sultana would be a good sight).

Likewise, Zebrariders, Gnuriders, Bisonriders, and Buffaloriders are a "thing" (though I personally use them rarely).

Of course I have dozens of other pieces that I'd love to see symbols for, but asking for even a large share would be unreasonable. A couple that I would like to have, though, are the Bodyguard (from Hiashatar) and the Friend.

May I use this for my personal variant ?

@Greg: thanks, I confirm not seeing anything abnormal now

I tested the ability to view SVGs on my iPad 2 and my Fire tablet. Using Game Courier with the Table rendering method, the SVG pieces would not show up on the board, though they would show up in the game description. This was so for Chrome, Safari, and Edge on my iPad2 and for Firefox and Chrome on my Fire tablet. After putting Firefox in desktop mode, I got the pieces to display on the board. I tried Edge and Chrome on my iPad and got Chrome to display the pieces on the board after putting it in desktop mode. While software on the iPad 2 may be out-of-date, Firefox is even more up-to-date on my Fire tablet than on my desktop. So, I think something else is going on, such as mobile devices limiting the display of script-generated SVGs.

@Fergus, can you please clear this image from the cloudflare cache: https://www.chessvariants.com/graphics.dir/alfaerieSVG/wchancellor2.svg

Done.

@Greg: yes it looks ok, even with Safari

Thank you for confirming.  This was strange.  I had to open the SVGs in a text editor and look for something that looked different in this image.  I found a strange code in the layer object for the layer with the knight: "filter:url(#filter869)" I don't know how it got there or why it only affected Safari.  I have replaced the original image, but it is still cached for the moment.  Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

@Greg: yes it looks ok, even with Safari, for the image you put into the comment section. The one in the main page is still the same, with the knight part blurred.

This is a test:

Ok, I think I fixed it.  Please let me know if this looks OK.

The images in Jean-Louis last comment do not show up for me on an Android tablet using the Samsung browser. But when I paste their URL directly in the address bar I can see them. It could have to do with the fact that they are on a http site, while CVP is https. Depending on browser security settings links to http on a https page might not be valid.

Anyway, what is seen on Safari is very strange indeed. The Knight part is totally blurred.
