BIG THX!!!

Please remove these unneeded lines from Edit Metadata also. I’ve written new page, thank you, but when I tried to revert it to Members-only, error repeated. It shows that I’m veteran contributor with nine or more submissions, so I cannot publish more if I have nine submissions to review (even if it’s not).

While it was giving you the same error message, it wasn't due to extra code again. This time, another variable was undefined, which caused its counts of the database to return the wrong values, and the solution was to add a new line assigning its value.

There were a few lines of code that were held over from an earlier version of the code, and these lines used an undefined variable. The result was $itemid being set to just "MS". Removing these lines of code fixed the problem.

I had the same problem and same message. Now, this has changed and when I try to enter a new game, here called "NewgamecazauxIdontbelieveitexists", I get this:

Error: You may not edit NewgamecazauxIdontbelieveitexists, because this (MS) is a preexisting submission that you (jean-louiscazaux) are not the author (duniho or ) of. If you chose the same name by coincidence, please go back and enter a different name.

I've made several tentatives. Apparently, I cannot enter any new game.

  • I click “Post Your New Game”;
  • I enter index information and click “Step 2”;
  • Then I face impossibility to create new item due to this bug.

That’s not what I meant. I was looking for Reche's Super Faceoff Masquerade and could not find it. Please be clear about what you were doing and walk me through it step by step.

Hey, it seems like both logos in dark & darker mode have the same silver moon image in them.

They do not. One is from the Motif Shogi set, and one is from the Symbolic Shogi set.

Can I suggest one replacement in darker logo? – change moon to khon:

No, the moon, as a symbol of the night, is representative of the color scheme. But I might replace it with another moon-themed piece, such as the Alfaerie Mage. Then I might replace another piece with a Kanji Shogi piece.

But not without errors… that’s its new answer on 2nd stage:

which is the same piece but was drawn by me for another graphics btw;)

All that's fair enough. It's your decision, after all; but thanks for at least respecting my input (which not everyone does tbh).

Still, at least the Fortress could be a different color, like gold or grey. (I personally would opt for lime, lavendar, or fuchsia, but in context that'd be a bit much.)

I decided I liked your Champion better than the Alfaerie Champion.

This in particular is a great compliment. :)


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Sun, Apr 21 04:21 PM UTC in reply to Lev Grigoriev from 07:40 AM:

This should be fixed now.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Sun, Apr 21 04:00 PM UTC in reply to Bob Greenwade from 02:40 PM:

As it happens, two of the options I would've given over Champion are Cardinal and Camel.

I have avoided using Cardinal or Chancellor for C, because the Cardinal is also known as an Archbishop, Princess, Paladin, and other names, and the Chancellor is also known as Marshall, Empress, and other names. I was initially using the Alfaerie Camel, but in looking over your pieces, I decided I liked your Champion better than the Alfaerie Champion.

And since I'm mentioning it, where you put the Fortress I would've suggested something more whimsical or offbeat:

I was going for something more suggestive of a Chess variant piece when seen out of context. A doubled-up Rook is one of those obvious designs that you, Jean-Louis Cazaux, and Musketeer Chess have all used.

The champion and phoenix were chosen to help spell cvp.

BUG WHICH HURTS THE CONTRIBUTORS OF THIS SITE!

We cannot publish anything new or edit metadata of existing pages! System stops us on the 2nd step, tells us that we are veteran contributors with more than nine published submissions (even if it’s my old acc without any pages on it), says that we cannot publish anything if we have nine submissions for review (even if you have a few or none of them in this status), and, to publish a new page, we should convert a members-only page to work-in-progress (which is also impossible because to do so we should edit metadata which it treats as creating new page) or collaborate with editors, which is the last remaining way for us.

I also see that some of my icons also made the grade for the row along the bottom. Awesome! I seriously am truly honored.

(They're not the three I would've chosen myself, to be honest, but to get anything at all is more than I could've expected!)


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Sun, Apr 21 02:09 AM UTC:

I have added new logos for the Darker color scheme. They feature a black cannon and a natural colored nightrider in the style of a winged horse. In the big logo on this page, the cannon was designed by Jean-Louis Cazaux and the nightrider by Bob Greenwade.

To find a specific piece, you can type the piece name and "chess" into the search bar. You'll get a limited number of possibilities, and the piece you want is most often in the last one under my name.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Sat, Apr 20 06:51 PM UTC in reply to Bob Greenwade from 05:15 PM:

I followed the link to your thingiverse profile, but I didn't see all the pieces you have posted images of here in your comments. The closest I found to a Nightrider was the Zebrarider.

I figured out that you're packaging multiple pieces together, and I have to browse through each package to see them all.

The coloring is very splotchy, though more so on curved surfaces than on flat surfaces, as can be seen in this color image of a color scan of my Likebook Mars:

Conventional solution for this problem is to apply 'dither' to the image: add white noise to the brightness of the individual pixels, randomly chosen from a homogeneous distribution that has the width of one brightness quantum.

And I'll get right on putting the link in my profile.
