New build, contains alot of tweaks and bug fixes. As well as a few surprises.
I highly recommend this update

My favourite change, and very selfish on my behalf, is that I've added "Fischer Random Chess" board configurations.(about 100 of 960 possible starts)
I've always wanted this in a chess program and never had a go of it yet. so :D

Also Ive converted over to sa actions instead of do. Which means that if you have been using the "Custom Bar" my apologies, just open it up and look for ;do and replace with ;sa
There should be two occurrences.

Other Notable Changes
-Tweaks to Board Update Checks, as much as i possibly can.
-Added "Move Log", very basic more to follow.

Also, ive been listening to the complaints regarding "Quickmatch", so im going to build a better more robust. So you can pick and choose your opponent, as well and create one if none suite your fancy.

Language Packs are on trial, I'm completely in the woods about what to do for it, so for the moment you get your own packages containing the language file changes and chess language file.
If anyone can recommend something better, I'm all ears.


Package is for 1.1.2 and 1.1.3.
If you installed the last package, you will need to uninstall that before going ahead with this version, I've kept the packages the same and version as well, to keep you from doing this.
Download here
Preview Here

Languages: If you do not see your language here, please follow this link
NOTE: As with the main package, these language packs are not final, and will need to be uninstalled at a future date. What this does however, its stop your errors in your forum log regarding missing languages.
German
Thai UTF-8
Croatian UTF-8

Quickchange Log:
14-16/AUG/07
-Fixed a bug with userSearch
-Added basic Move Log
-Added Fischerrandom Chess
13/AUG/07
-Started preparing Sources files for submission
-Converted over to sa actions instead of do
-tweaked board update check

Ok, tonight I got around to fixing up the bbc code for the next version.

What new? well its actually fixed now, displays the grid correctly which is a good start, and have a blank square in the first grid is good as well

Also ive added the ability to flip the board, if you prefer to have black below.

on top of this, you can now highlight any square on the board using '!' which will be in the new highlight color option

example
:
[chess=true]rn!bqk!bn!r/p!pp!pp!ppp/!131!3/8/8/8/PP!PPP!PPP/RNB!QKB!NR[/chess]

[chess]1n!bqk!bn!r/p!pp!pp!ppp/!131!3/8/8/8/PP!PPP!PPP/RNB!QKB!NR[/chess]

p.s. Ill alter this format as I go along, but I think this might be a good way to stream out updates, just with a quick post of whats been added, similar to a blog.
This way well 1/ you know I'm still working on it  :pcc 2/ You can suggest/or question these updates/changes

Ok tonight, I added in the feature request to change the chat area to either log, chat or both.
This means, ive removed the option in the settings to show log. Reason for this, is because your selection is saved when you switch between.

Also added an experimental preview button in the current matches page.
Basically, when you click on the link, a tooltip is used, and the board is pull using ajax and displayed. Code is similar to that used in the bbc
This should allow quick viewing of the board, if it works well, ill be adding it to several other places.
Should come in handy, once i get around to putting in the tournament

Enchanced castling today.

So basically you have so many choices on how to castle, well two.

a) Click on the castling image below your avatar

b) Move your king to the correct castling position, here you will be presented with the option, to either move or castle
