Optional Files - wowChess
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
To make this work in 3.0 (and not screw up your chat) you just need to comment out lines 114 and 115 in wowChess.lua.
Code:
--Called when its loaded
function wowChess_OnLoad()
-- Hook ChatFrame_OnEvent so we can examine messages
--WoW_ChatFrame_OnEvent = ChatFrame_OnEvent;
--ChatFrame_OnEvent = wowChess_ChatFrame_OnEvent;
wowChess_MoveLogSetFont();
I've also found that the resign command results in the opposite of the intended affect. When a player's resignation is accepted, it gives the win to the player who gave up.
Originally posted by Hexarobi Seerah, I don't have many people to test against, can you give me some more info? I thought resigns were workin fine.
I'll have them test again for you.
