I need someone of the webmasters to help me with uploading gif images. I
have waited for over a week to publish my new presets that need these
images, involving wholly automatized catapult pieces, etc. Now I have to
wait yet another week, and if it doesn't function perfectly then, yet
another week. I have sent a zip file to the chessvariants account, and it
should be uploaded to
http://www.chessvariants.org/graphics.dir/winter/small/, or wherever 'Winter: small set expanded' is located. Could someone do this, please. It took some effort to program these presets, and I want to be done with this now.

Someone in the staff must wake up now. I am still waiting to
publish three presets that include the Zeppelin and Sw. Cannon,
etc., where the moves are wholly validated. I have waited over 
two weeks to publish them. I can't publish them because the 
graphics doesn't work. Fergus is supposed to do this but he 
doesn't respond. This is very frustrating. It involves the piece
set 'Winter: Small set extended.'

$dir = 'http://www.chessvariants.org/graphics.dir/winter/small/';
The following php code line must be corrected:

'ZX' => 'wzerox.gif', 'ZX' => 'bzerox.gif',

It should be:

'ZX' => 'wzerox.gif', 'zx' => 'bzerox.gif',

But there are still some problems. I forgot to include the Cannon 
in the php code, which is a necessary piece. Also, I happened to 
set the Zeppelin to Z, which is the same as the zero pieces.

So the cannons have to be added to the php file:

'CA' => 'wcannon.gif', 'ca' => 'bcannon.gif',

and the Zeppelins must be changed to:

'ZE' => 'wzeppelin.gif', 'ze' => 'bzeppelin.gif',

Sorry about the delays Mats. I am back in school and things are very busy
for me. I will try to get to this in the next few days. Sorry it's so
frustrating for you. Keep in mind, this site does not have any paid staff.
Just volunteers.

Mats, check the images now, and let me know if they're good. Joe
