Hello, Everyone!

I've downloaded the chess_05.zip from Xela's site and have been having
difficulty getting past step one with Xela's Chess bot!

I've uploaded all of the objects and ChessObjects.txt file to my models
path. I also have made what I think are all of the necessary changes to
the ChessSetup.txt file:

Here are the contents of the .txt files:

ChessNames.txt =

wk=White King
wq=White Queen
wb=White Bishop
wn=White Knight
wr=White Rook
wp=White Pawn
bk=Red King
bq=Red Queen
bb=Red Bishop
bn=Red Knight
br=Red Rook
bp=Red Pawn
k=King
q=Queen
b=Bishop
n=Knight
r=Rook
p=Pawn
whites=Whites
blacks=Reds
clearing=clearing

----------

ChessBoards.txt =

world=Arcanum
universe=Active Worlds
scan=16n 2e 8a 2a
board1=16n 2e 2a 270

----------

ChessObjects.txt = (all of these files are uploaded and the names
compared to those listed listed below)

bs=chtbs.cob
ws=chtws.cob
sq=1.00
wk=chtwk.cob
wq=chtwq.cob
wb=chtwb.cob
wn=chtwn.cob
wr=chtwr.cob
wp=chtwp.cob
bk=chtrk.cob
bq=chtrq.cob
bb=chtrb.cob
bn=chtrn.cob
br=chtrr.cob
bp=chtrp.cob

----------

Still, no objects appear when I load the script, although the Xela says
"Ready :)"

Any clues?

Thanks in advance!

Hiya, lord fett!

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Actually, I had corrected that problem yesterday with this:

world=arcanum
universe=Active Worlds
scan=16.000n 2.000e 3.00a 270
board1=16.000n 2.000e 3.00a 270

Still, no go! Bah!

Also, the 4 cells that I am building the chess set in are completely
free of other objects as are the immediately adjacent cells. Do I also
need to clear a portion of the other, wider-surrounding cells as well?

Thank again for your response.
Arcanum

Hello, Alex! Thanks for responding.

[View Quote] Done.

"correct them in the ChessBoards.txt file"

Did that too. Still no go.

This is my current ChessBoards.txt file:

world=arcanum
universe=
scan=17n 2e 2a 270
board1=17n 2e 2a 270

- The area all around the build site is clear.
- My Xelagot is entering the world like this:
Universe Name: "Active Worlds" (with a space)
Home World: arcanum
Coordinates: 17.000n 2.000e 2.00a 270.0


When I load and start the Chess_Setup.txt file, I get this:


However, no chess board shows up.

Any more suggestions?

Thank you EVER so much, Mauz! That was it!

I downloaded the new version as soon as it came out and installed a
clean copy. As I was not 'upgrading' from a previous version, I just
assumed (silly me!) that this new version didn't come with any built-in
scripts, so, I created my own \script folder and dropped the chess
script in there!

Bah!

Sill me!

Thanks for your help, lord fett, Xela and ... Mauz!

Anyone wanna play chess?
