I have always wanted to make a chess map, before I even knew that there was one already. I am building it from scratch with my own triggering.
Progress is excellent so far.
I have completed all directions and triggers for the castle piece, pawn, knight, bishop and king and queen! Currently a minor aligning problem with castle and queen, should be fixed soon!
Ok- Aligning problems fixed! And Alignment system enhanced.
The gameplay will be nice and easy. You simply have to unload a unit from your dropship, over the desired unit you wish to control. If you make an accident, simply unload another unit and your move will be reset. To finish your move, you simply unload a different unit aswell.
There will be NO cheating, it will be impossible. The downfall to the anti-cheating process is that when you move your unit to an enemy unit to kill him, you will be glued to him to avoid the ability for you to instead move onto another enemy unit (thus breaking the rules). If you do this accidentally however, you can always reset your move. Anyway, every other anti-cheat mechanism does not work like so, so it wont be some cheap mechanism.
I hope my version will end up better than the current chess, as it is being made in a more modern time with more knowledge at our hands. I just had a look at the current chess game. Let me tell you, this pwns it. No waiting or anything, this is instant as soon as you make your move. Unlike that one by gold.
Heres some screenies!

Well, they will use the grid system to determine where they are allowed to move, and you simply move them to the area and finish your move by unloading a unit.

very very nice, but the pics arent good, lol....anywayz...yeh this ahta be a cool game, isnt it hard to create the triggers though...I mean you have like to creat a trigger for every place you move a board peice so that the computer will know where to move so its not like a win-win scenario, you know???
lol
but good luck, sounds cool

That my friend, is done through the use of a mobile grid
I have now perfected the alignment system, so all units will stay perfectly in the center of their square.
And the Bishop is 100% complete!
By the way all these units are complete for player 1 so far, I have not started player 2 yet lol.
King is 100% complete. Queen is the only one that remains, and is the hardest to trigger.

Reviewing the chess board, I notice one design flaw. There is one row missing in my map. Between the two opposing teams at the start, there are 3 rows instead of 4 rows empty. I dont think this should be a major problem but if so please tell me because it will be harder to implement as progression continues.
ADDITION:
Ok I couldnt stand having that difference between the real game and this so I restructured the triggers to fit the new row, it took a good hour but it was worth it!
Tomorrow I shall work on player 2 then I will beta test. After which I will release the game here for all of you to try and give me feedback!
ADDITION:
The BETA is READY to play! Check OP for download!
