@FergusDuniho

I thought this was next on my list to fix the diagrams for (from a change in the diagram designer), but I'd already done the movement marker conversion. However, now I see that

  1. two of the piece images don't show up, using the combination codes B!R and R!B. In the setup diagram these pieces use B.R and B.R instead, and they show up. Was there yet another change to the diagram designer for which we need to scan the database for broken images, or was this an old mistake?

  2. in the setup diagram, the 0th rank displays offset (on my laptop); any idea what's wrong there?

The Zebra+Knight versions of the Hartebeest are bound to 1/4th of the board

square distance of a Hartebeest on a 8x8, it seems a bit weird

The diagrams no longer work as intended because of a change in the diagram designer:

I'll make the necessary changes when I have a chance.

Edit: done, although using the !-markers rather than the ./#-markers.

This looks like a somewhat playable variant, only the weird board size is killing it

Also, the movement diagrams are broken
