It should now be fixed for new Diagrams generated by the Applet. But it might still be easier to just edit the image names in the Diagram you already made than redoing it from scratch. While fixing the issue I was baffled by the fact that the Applet had stopped working completely; its board mysteriously disappeared. After a lot of debugging it turned out that it was upset that another Diagram had appeared on the same page, in the Comments. The Applet needed to change some settings after initialization, but the way I had programmed that was not resistent to the betza.js file being read a second time, undoing some of the changes. I guess it was a very bad idea to have some of the standard initialization code execute unconditionally when the script gets loaded, in a script that could be loaded multiple times. Eventually I modified the script such that custom post-initialization code can be executed after all Diagrams on the page have done their initialization, rather than just the first one.

I also made the Applet close the ad side bars when the board has more than 10 files. This should prevent the compression we see in the screenshot you posted.

BTW, I noticed that you are using piece IDs of more than one letter. The Diagram was not really designed for that. In particular, it confuses its detection of which promotions are allowed. Because you use both K and DK, and put DK amongst the promotion choices, it now thinks K is also an allowed choice, because there is a K in DK. I am not sure how this can be cured without breaking already existing diagrams.

@Greg:

OTOH, having one or two ugly pieces among good-looking ones would provide a really good incentive for creating the missing SVG. :-) The variants you authored do not seem to feature that many pieces for which we have no SVG yet.

  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item
