Is there a way you can get your password re-sent to your email address if you forget it?

Do you have source-codes of Game Courier available?

No, I don't make the source code for Game Courier publicly available.

How does one go about publishing one's game on Game Courier?  Can I start from scratch, or is it necessary to have a preset and edit it?  Do I just leave to the editors?  It doesn't appear to be as cut-and-dry as putting things on the Pages is.

See the Developer Guide:
http://play.chessvariants.org/pbm/devguide.html
in particular the section called Editing a Preset.

I'm not sure if one can get a clean slate preset; it's best to find a game somewhat similar to yours and edit that preset into one for your game. It's fairly easy to get a preset setup to play most games, but getting the preset to check rules can be more difficult; most presets available here don't check rules (as far as I know).

Я не могу сделать ход в партии. Нет клавиши сделать ход

I do not speak Russian. If you speak English, it would be best to use English. You cannot move in a game until it is your turn. I have added lang="en" to the page so that Google translate will know what language to translate the page from.

Я не говорю по-русски. Если вы говорите по-английски, лучше использовать английский. Вы не можете двигаться в игре, пока не настает ваша очередь. Я добавил lang = "en" на страницу, чтобы Google translate знал, на каком языке для перевода страницы.

I believe that the Russian user named  Сергей Бугаевский is boycotting the open invitations since he accepts them all indiscriminately choosing to always drive the black side and after the first player makes his move he never responds. I suggest forbidding him access to Game Courier.

My move in the game and I can not make a move. Writes an error. Help


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 07:49 PM UTC:

I think he is honestly trying to play the games, but he doesn't understand how things work, because the site is in English. I'm hoping that Vitya Makov can step in and explain how things work to him. I've also noticed that his userid begins with a capital letter in the Person table, but it is all lowercase in the GameLogs table. I wonder if this is causing some bug that prevents him from moving.

Please do not accept my invitations for playing Symmetric Chess.

My move in the party. I can not make a move. No button to make a move. Writes an error. How can I make a move in the party? Help

What error does it write?


Сергей Бугаевский wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 08:04 PM UTC:

 

This preset now uses the new code for identifying check, checkmate, and stalemate. Let me know of any problems with it.

ILLEGAL: p g9-g7; on turn 2:

There was no p on g9. It is an empty space.

Go back with your browser's BACK button, reload the page, and try again.


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 08:10 PM UTC:

That is an example of rule enforcement. You are being required to make a legal move.

If you think the move you tried to make is actually legal, let me know which log you got this error message for.

I tried making the same move in your game of Unicorn Great Chess, and it let me make it without saying the move was illegal. I only got as far as the preview, since I can't send a move in your name. Once you get to the preview, you have to enter your password and click the Send button.


Сергей Бугаевский wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 08:28 PM UTC:

I click the preview. And there is an error message. Tell me in which column should I send my password?


🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 08:50 PM UTC:

In the image shown below, it is the field that says "Password:".


Сергей Бугаевский wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 09:10 PM UTC:
I have after the user ID, there is no password column

🕸📝Fergus Duniho wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2018 09:13 PM UTC:

It will be missing if you are already signed in. In that case, just click the Send button.

Let me know of any problems with it. ILLEGAL: p g9-g7; on turn 2: There was no p on g9. It is an empty space. Go back with your browser's BACK button, reload the page, and try again. 3.

I copied the log to your game, changed the userids to some of my own, and made the same move you are trying to make without any problem. The one discrepency I see in the error message you are reporting is that it identifies the turn as 2 instead of 1. I don't know why it would say that, since this is the first turn of the game. I tried it again to see if there was any way of manually changing the turn number, and I didn't find any way to do that.
