Language

Config.Locale = "fr"

Translations are located in locales/. An unknown locale falls back to French, then English.

Placement gizmo

ChessGame.placement controls the integrated gizmo. The defaults are suited to precise placement:

placement = {
    rotationSnap = 2.5,
    translationSnap = 0.01,
    gizmoSize = 0.35,
    controls = {
        switch = 'INPUT_CONTEXT_X',
        confirm = 'INPUT_FRONTEND_ACCEPT',
        cancel = 'INPUT_FRONTEND_CANCEL',
        snapToGround = 'INPUT_INTERACT_OPTION1',
    },
}

Use the on-screen prompts to switch between translation and rotation, snap the board to the ground, confirm or cancel. The board model and all piece models can be changed in ChessGame.models if you use compatible RedM props.

Bot permission

Keep the ACE name in sync with your server.cfg:

ChessGame.botCommandAce = 'lo_games.bot'

add_ace group.admin lo_games.bot allow
