So I decided to create a new map https://prnt.sc/rTE7qrZ3Bmdw
It's stuck

Okay then please open a bug report here https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=39713 and tell me the exact steps you did so I can try to reproduce it...

Ecrit par Reichsheer, 29.03.2022 at 16:47

My scenarios 'Colonial RP - Charlemagne', 'European Powers (1700's GGG)', 'New World Coming - RP', 'Medieval Empires AtWar RP', 'Qing Vs Joseon & Japan (1750's GGG)', 'GGG: Alt History (EU)' are all uneditable with the error code 'Error: TypeError: b.getSource() is undefined, Script: https://atwar-game.com/java/game/atwar.game.min.js?v=202203241749, Line: 1, Column: 654189'

Unfortunately some maps that were broken by old versions of the map editor are permanently broken, there's not much I can do about that. However if you're creating new maps you shouldn't have any problems now.

And occasionally when trying to connect to edit a map; it doesn't load (forgotten the exact sentence that comes up) and I must close down the atwar tab/go back a page on the browser (sometimes multiple times) for it to actually let me into the map. This can't be an issue on my side and I've tried different computers/browsers, I've recently moved houses and have very good internet speeds.

Edit: when saving changes, they sometimes wouldn't register the next time I loaded the map too (this I approached both Mobster and Sid on)

It takes the system a few minutes to update after you've made any significant changes. There's also the possibility you might need to clear your browser cache. But if a few minutes have gone by and you've cleared your cache, and are still having problems, then you can report them here: https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=39713. I do read them and fix things as I can

Mapmaking bugs should be a priority atm. I'm grateful for the changes but I still experience the same issues with mapmaking that I did 4+ years ago.
Mapmaking is one of the main reasons to buy premium too and helps freshen the community with new maps

Edit: [One!] of the reasons I didn't play for three years was because of mapmaking issues!

When was the last time you tried making a map?

Because I literally just spent the last month fixing a shit ton of bugs in the map editor so we could get World Map 2.0 released...

This community *says* they want updates, but they really don't.

This has been my experience with AW since the beginning. People complain about "no updates" => I give an update => they hate it and don't use it => cycle repeats. I've concluded what this community really wants is to play the same way they've always played. They still want to complain for the enjoyment of complaining, but they don't really want any changes.

I try to keep it possible for the old players to continue playing the way they always have, but my real focus is on developing the game for new players.

Apparently its close to being finished. So...
Extended for the billionth time. New deadline March 31, 2022.

So I was confused here, but the meta team's World Map 2.0 is a totally different thing, separate from this contest. So let's talk and figure out how we want to handle the contest. It doesn't matter when the official map comes out...

Bug Report
Expected behavior
When i play casual or long games with my map 1600's Age of Empires, i expect to be able to play normally after turn 15.

Actual behavior
If you play with the map 1600's Age of Empires and clones/presets of them like Riddle of Steel by Your Laki after turn 15 and with minimum 3/4 players, you can't connect to the game and the chat tab shows a lot of stuff related related to this bug, mainly "error stack trace in x, y". Many guys can actually rejoin to keep paying the game but many others like me can't rejoin to it. Laki said its possible if you try many times reloading the page, but that never worked for me while playing that map in specific-

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Make a casual or normal game on the map with 3/4 people minimum.
2. Play till turn 15 or 20, after those turns you will see all kinds of bug related stuffs on the chat tab and you can't rejoin to play the game.

Information:
Browser: Chrome

Browser version: 99.0.4844.51 (the most recent)

OS: Windows 10

Any other relevant information:

I thinked this stuff was related to the recent bug Dave fixed related to amount of troops on the map, but it seems the bug its still on this specific map.

I tried playing the map in question for 20 turns, but didn't get any errors. Of course it might be just by chance, who knows.

Do you remember the last time it happened? If I can know what date it was, or which game it was in, maybe I can find something in the logs...

Bug Report
Expected behavior
I have chosen Master of Stealth as my strategy of this game https://atwar-game.com/games/?link=7517721995

Actual behavior
When I login today the strategy became Lucky Bastard so it screwed up my plan completely

Steps to reproduce the behavior
No special step to reproduce, my strategy was changed by system.

Information:
Browser: Chrome

Browser version: Version 99.0.4844.51

OS: MacOS 11.6.5

Any other relevant information: No

I'm sorry to hear that. It's going to be difficult for me to do anything without any steps to reproduce.... this is the single most important thing for me in any bug report.

I tried the following steps to reproduce on my own:
1) create casual game
2) choose Master of Stealth strategy
3) make a few moves, then leave
4) return to game and check strategy .... still Master of Stealth for me.

I did this twice. 2nd time I made sure that "Lucky Bastard" was my default strategy (under user profile / settings).... still it worked correctly, staying Master of Stealth after I had chosen it.

If there are some different steps to reproduce that I should try, please let me know and I'll try them. Otherwise, for now, I can't reproduce it.

---

For what it's worth I did check the logs, and I see where you did select Master of Stealth (note to self -- see log entry at 2022-03-12 05:10:30.8377). I also see that your default strategy is Lucky Bastard. I can't tell which strategy you actually have in the game right now. Unfortunately it won't show me what strategy you have now until the game ends.

Great Dave !!!
Now it works, I also tried a ruined map, it doesn't always manage to solve it but if you erase all the borders of the nation that has problems and recreate them then it works.

I'll do other tests anyway and if I find any problems I'll let you know

Face that I would like to make a map with the current nations I would have a request that, barring unforeseen events, would only cost you a change of RGB, you could have the inaccessible areas colored blue instead of red so you can do the great lakes of Canada, Russia , etc...

Great, glad it's working for you now

I'll go ahead and mark this bug as "fixed".

Regarding the no-go areas being red, that's another bug I already know about, which will be fixed soon...

Ecrit par jon snow targary, 18.03.2022 at 12:14

Yes bro this

So.... the reason this is happening is because technically that map is broken. It has been broken since 2013.

When it was last saved in the Map Editor (2013-08-28) there must have been an error, because it never finished saving 100%. Specifically, the background never saved. That's why it looks all black like this:



Is this what it looked like when you last played it?

---

Btw I've made an update to allow "partially broken" maps like this one to continue being played, so you can try playing it again.... but I can't do anything about the missing background, sorry. We would have to get the original map author to re-upload it.

As far as game mechanics goes.... if the game lets you do it, it's legal. (I mean if it lets you without opening your browser console or hacking code -- that's different, obviously.)

We're not going to make any new rules about walls. I don't want to get into the business of judging whether one end is a few pixels too far, blah blah blah. Rewalls, serbwalls, wallfucks t1 -- so what. That's just the nature of the game.

...And for the record it's pretty clear WD didn't do anything wrong here, I'm just talking in general that we shouldn't have rules about walls to begin with. Then we wouldn't have these stupid arguments.

Ecrit par Eridans, 13.03.2022 at 07:40

I just did another update of the Map Editor... could you try it again please?

I've fixed what you and WD were talking about, about what happens in Brazil, Siberia, etc etc. Of course there are still other problems, but at least the ones you described should be fixed now.

By the way, if you have an old map that is bugged with this problem you would need to Save again the map and it should correct it. But -- important -- you have to force the Map Editor to re-process the borders. Simple way to make this happen:
1) draw a new no-go zone somewhere. Could be anywhere, could be tiny, doesn't matter, just something new. This makes the Map Editor know something changed with the borders and it will have to re-process them all.
2) save the map.
3) delete the new no-go zone (you don't need it anymore).
4) save the map again. After this the map should be fixed.

Yes, our Facebook login is blocked, unfortunately. I will be removing it completely in the near future.

There's a long story but, suffice to say, Facebook is making unreasonable demands and I'm tired of them taking this approach where they shut us down first and ask questions later. It's been going on for a couple months now.

All users who have their atWar account login tied to Facebook will need to switch to using a normal username/password login going forward. I'll make an official announcement about this once I've had a chance to remove Facebook completely.

If you, or anyone else, is unable to login and can't reset your password, just send a message to our support team at https://atwar-game.com/contact/ and they'll help you out.

Oof, thanks for the info. Seems like a pretty clear bug... It's on my list now

Note to self. the following client error was logged 4 times between 2022-03-13 07:14:16 and 2022-03-13 07:58:07 (first for Clovis, then Agel, Verperius, and finally Taibi):

|SYSTEM - Error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'TurnActions'), Script: https://atwar-game.com/java/game/atwar.game.min.js?v=202203021744, Line: 1, Column: 410905, Stack Trace: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'TurnActions')

- no related errors in the service logs. (searched 3/11, 3/12, and 3/13)

Well, that's definitely frustrating. I've had casual games bug out on me too, after spending like an hour making all my moves. It sucks

I don't have to tell you about atWar code though -- this will be a fun bug to try and find

I looked at the game and it does indeed appear stuck and permanently bugged... that will be in the lobby for a while I'm sure. Maybe until we move servers again!

Thanks for all the info though, I will go ahead and mark this as [OPEN] as of now and hope we find a solution someday...

That game is closed and gone now, so I have no idea what happened, sorry.

Next time please be sure to follow our Bug Report Format, and if possible include a screenshot. That really helps with tracking things down.

Damn, can we just keep cwing and a admin fix the results later? we have a scenario CW log to know who actualy won a CW in the scenario discord so the clans involved can always keep the data between FO and the Empire, as well as others like the one we did with epic clan.

Atm only the 3 cws shown in the bug report are the glitched games since sid fixed the previous ones when they happened before.

Yeah that's fine you can keep CWing and I'll fix the results later.

@Sid how did you fix these before?

Hi there, I've seen your bug report, I will get to it but it will take me a while. If it were a quick fix I would do it already, but unfortunately I think this one will be another one of the hard-to-find bugs.

To the meta team: Dave will personally fire you and scrap your bread rations for this month if u don't finish the map.

At the moment, the meta team is waiting on me to fix some more bugs with the map editor, so don't be too harsh on them. There's not much more they can do until then.

I did go ahead and cut their bread rations though, because why not.

Ukraine must be freed from its current oppressive government. Anything that comes out of Ukraine is debunked within 48 hours. Oh also, I wonder why Zelensky was in the pandora papers. Any ideas?

One of my former employees was Ukrainian, living in Kiev. I remember him telling me, 2-3 years ago, how all they (the Ukrainian people) wanted was for Russia to leave them alone and stop meddling in their country. I believe him.

Say what you want about the Ukrainian government (no government is perfect), but I still don't think they deserved to be invaded.

My scenario is great. But these low ranks don't know how to host scenarios. They just host maps because they don't know what a scenario is or where they are found. This is understandable since most noobs just click on "New Game" then play whatever they see--which in this case is my map because I decided to promote both my map & scenario.

I've updated it so Promo'd scenarios will show up in the New Game menu too.
