Chess

Will Need to set table locations via the config. Can place anywhere you like. Uses Vec3 for placement.

— Fully Playable Chess for RedM

A complete, immersive chess experience built for Red Dead Redemption roleplay servers. Challenge a fellow outlaw to a game at the saloon, wager your hard-earned cash, and settle it over the board — all without ever leaving the game world.

Gameplay Features

Full chess engine — every legal move enforced: castling, en passant, pawn promotion, check, checkmate, and stalemate
Multiplayer via server relay — both players see moves in real time; colours assigned randomly each game
Promotion picker — clean in-game UI to choose Queen, Rook, Bishop, or Knight on pawn promotion
Material advantage display — captured pieces and score advantage shown above and below the board
Check highlighting — king square turns red when in check
Last-move highlight — previous move squares are always marked
Legal-move dots — click a piece to see all valid destinations

Game Management

Draw offers — offer a draw in-game; opponent sees a notification bar at the bottom and can accept or decline without interrupting the game; accepting closes the UI for both players
Resign — in-game confirmation modal (no browser popups) before forfeiting
Spectator mode — bystanders can watch live games from the same table
Idle-timeout auto-forfeit — configurable inactivity timer ends abandoned games automatically
Disconnect handling — opponent is awarded the win if a player disconnects mid-game

Betting System

Optional cash betting — enable with a single config toggle
Configurable min/max bet limits
Winnings pulled directly from your framework’s wallet (VORP or RSG)

Technical

VORP Core & RSG Core compatible — switch frameworks with one line in config.lua
Pure JS chess engine — no external libraries; all move validation runs client-side
Western-themed NUI — dark wood tones, gold accents, serif fonts — fits seamlessly into any RDR2 RP server
Escrow-safe config — config.lua is excluded from escrow so you can always edit table coords, betting settings, and framework selection
Multi-table support — add as many chess tables as you want across your map
oxmysql dependency is optional — remove one line and it’s gone

Installation

Drop the chess folder into your resources/ directory
Add ensure chess to your server.cfg
Open config.lua and set your framework and table coordinates
Restart — done
