chess.com does not work

[alex31]

Sorry to say this but chess.com does not work in Basilisk. The site opens but no board is shown. Just installed Basilisk portable version on Win 7.

Just installed Basilisk portable version on Win 7.

There is no Basilisk portable version. If you downloaded something claiming to be a portable version of Basilisk, they are going against the redistribution terms.

Could you please provide me a link to where you downloaded this?

Thanks!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I don't use chess.com, but I know quite a few people like myself that are salivating for a "True" Basilisk Portable Version that is 100% self-containing and does not populate anything outside it's own folder (like profiles and registry...etc). That would make possible to externally store it on a thumb drive or an external SSD while leaving absolutely no trace on the device its run on.

Looks like somebody has zipped up a copy (with Flash) and put it on the Internet Archive. Don't know if that's where @alex31 found it, but that's out there.

It might be good for them to post the version of Basilisk they're running. If they (unfortunately) downloaded it from there it is an older version and could possibly cause those kinds of problems.

It's due to missing min/max CSS functions. Here's a Modify HTTP Response workaround (adjust the sizes to suit - 550px for the board, 650px for the opponent choice).

Code: Select all

[["www.chess.com",["/style\\.client\\.css$/",["max(var(--boardMinWidth), min(var(--boardMaxWidth), var(--boardMaxHeight)))","550px","/(t: )max\\(.*?\\)([;}])/g","$1650px$2"]]]]

I downloaded Windows archive x86 64-bit. It does not have installer and I thought it is portable version.

WRT CSS functions, it's becoming pretty painful to have at least min/max/clamp missing, as they replace a ton of media query baggage. I had hoped the newer release with greatly improved CSS would have it--but no luck so far!

This is planned to be implemented at some point.

I sent archive.org an email demanding removal and they removed it. To quote Terry Davis, "Score one for the good guys"
