RedM Chess and Checkers Script Poggy Chess

A RedM chess and checkers script for VORP Core, RSG Core and QBCore RedM: five tables ship placed in the world, players sit down to play a friend or the built-in chess engine with seven chess levels, and can put money on the game. Every game is saved per character, with Elo ratings, a leaderboard and a move-by-move review.

What players can do

• Press G at a chair: the character walks over and sits down the way the game's own people do.
• Play the player in the other chair, or the chess engine when sitting alone.
• Move pieces on the table or on a second board on screen, with a move list and three camera views per seat.
• Watch a game in progress from within 20 metres.
• Open My record: every game the character has played, with a replay of any game move by move.
• Pick up a saved game (one without a wager) later from the same chair.

The marble set

• A black and white marble board with white and black marble pieces, each one veined differently, and a carved horse for the knight.
• It comes with the script as its own resource, poggy_chess_props. Start it before poggy_chess and every table uses it.
• One switch in /poggy goes back to the game's own wooden set.

Chess and checkers rules

• Chess: castling, en passant, promotion, and draws by stalemate, repetition, the fifty-move rule or too few pieces. All checked on the server.
• Checkers in American, Russian, Brazilian and Pool rules, or house rules picked at the table.
• Checkers captures are picked one jump at a time, pieces that must capture are ringed, and the rules in play stay on screen.

The computer opponent

• Seven chess levels, beginner to grandmaster, and three checkers levels.
• The top three chess levels ask Stockfish at chess-api.com and fall back to the server's own engine when it cannot be reached.
• Hints (H) and an evaluation bar in games against the chess engine.
• The engine's moves are chosen on the server, never by a player's game.

Wagers

• Between two players only, in cash or gold, with your own minimum and maximum (1 to 500 by default).
• Both stakes are taken when the game starts. The winner receives both; a draw returns each stake.
• Standing up or leaving mid-game loses the wager, and an opponent who stops moving can be claimed against after 5 minutes.
• A server restart returns both stakes, paid the next time the player is online.
• A death ends the game with no result and returns the stakes by default. It can be set to a loss for the player who died.

Ratings

Each character has an Elo rating for chess and one for checkers, starting at 1200, and a leaderboard. Games against the chess engine are never rated.

Commands

Settings you will change first

• Config.Tables: five tables ship (Blackwater, Saint Denis, Rhodes, Armadillo, Sisika Prison). The script spawns the table, board, chairs and pieces.
• Config.Wagers: on or off, Currency, Min, Max.
• Config.Death.Outcome: "abandon" or "forfeit".
• The chess engine level the start menu opens on: "club" by default ("medium" for checkers).

Every setting is also in /poggy; every word players read is in translations.lua. See the RedM chess and minigames guide.

What you need to run it

• VORP Core, RSG Core or QBCore RedM.
• poggy_core 0.27.0 or newer (free).
• oxmysql. The database tables are created on the first start, so there is no SQL to import.
• config.lua, translations.lua and the SQL are open. The rest is protected by Cfx escrow.

Updates

poggy_core installs new versions and merges your config and translations, so your values and tables survive.
