I've noticed some different things about Shako. First, there is a folder called originalShako, and Shako is the only game with such a folder. Second, there is a Shako file called shako-chess-mxdel.js, and it is the only file matching the *mxdel* wildcard.
Definitely something wrong there, and considering the 'modified' date probably of my doing. It seems the file was moved 'out of the way' by changing an o into an x. I don't recall doing this, but I was probably experimenting for how to hack new games directly into the Jocly library, to discover which files it actualy used for running by removing those and try what would break.
The curious thing is that in the Jocly install on my website the name is shako-chess-model.js. The date is exactly the same, though. (And just a few days before I implemented my first game, Team-Mate Chess.) I must have renamed it after the jocly/dist/ sub-tree was copied to CVP.
The problem is that the content of that file is also not what it is supposed to be. It is not uglified, and looks like the source file jocly/src/games/chessbase/shako-model.js. Normally the files jocly/dist/browser/games/chessbase/*-chess-model.js are a concatenation of the base-model.js, the variant-specific model file and perhaps some others, and then uglified. The uglification is probably not essential (the hack I used for implementing my games was to replace the uglified variant-specific part from such a file for a similar game by source code of my own game, but it needs to contain the base-model.js code to work.
Problem is that I cannot find the original uglified shako-chess-model.js file anywhere amongst my files. I tried to put back this file (on my own website) from a recently compiled Jocly from the back-porting project, but apparently the base-model.js file there is no longer sufficiently compatible with the old one for this to work. Unfortunately I forgot from where I clopied the Jocly version on my website, otherwise I could fetch a shako-chess-model.js file from there. Perhaps Zied still has a version on the Musketeer Chess website.
[Edit] I now managed to find a shako-chess-model.js file in the Downloads folder of one of my Windows systems. When I put that in the Jocly install on my website (and go through the cumbersome procedure of flushing the cached version), Shako works again there. The file is probably the same as that in the originalShako directory (where all files do have the same date). This directory does not exist in the Jocly install on my website, though. So I have no idea how it got created on CVP, which (at least for the jocly/dist/ part) was supposed to be a copy of that. It looks like someone copied all shako-* files on CVP to this directory, and then renamed the shako-chess-model.js. Anyway, I copied the shako-chess-model.js file now back to the chessbase folder on CVP as well. This should fix the problem if nothing else was changed.
