Neverwinter Chess
Released by BioWare, Designed by BioWare's Jonathan Epp
For 2 players. (There is no computer AI to play against, though you can play a single-player game if you play both sides yourself.)
To start or join the game, talk to the Gamemaster. If you wish to leave or end the game, talk to the Gamemaster.
Once the game is underway, players move their pieces by talking to the piece they wish to move. A dialogue will start to show the player what moves are available for that piece.. Note: to Castle, talk to the Rook you wish to Castle with.
For Advanced Users - Things to do
Want to improve this module yourself? Here's some ideas:
Make the fights between pieces more interesting. Start by modifying the ContinueFight function in the chessinc.nss script (remember to make a backup, just in case something goes wrong).
Use Monsters for the pieces, instead of humanoids. Archon anyone?
Updates to Module
v1.2
- Fixed an error in the checkmate script. There was a specific circumstance where the game would mistakenly think it was in a checkmate condition. Thanks to Kellas Reeves who gave me an excellent example of the problem.
v1.1:
- Fixed a problem with pawn promotion
- Fixed an instance where a king could be moved beside the opposing king
- Can no longer castle through or out of check
- Can now castle by talking to the King or the Rook
- Changed all GetObjectByTag commands to GetNearestObjectByTag to allow multiple boards in the same module
- Board orientation now takes the facing of the center waypoint into account, which means the board can be rotated. Users who wish to place the chess game on their own maps can set the board orientation by rotating the waypoint in the toolset.
v1.01:
- Fixed a problem with en passant moves
- Added test for check and checkmate after pawn promotion
v1.0:
- Initial release
