Started developing on BGA studio, ran into issues

[nmego]

(I'm using WinSCP)

Everytime I try uploading/deleting/overwriting/creating a new file in the remote directory I get this error message:

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Cannot overwrite remote file '/gomoku/gomoku_gomoku.tpl'.

Press 'Delete' to delete the file and create new one instead of overwriting it.
---------------------------
Permission denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied
---------------------------

Edit: I've tried using FileZilla and I get the same error message, it seems like something wrong with the server.

Did you create your own project?

[nmego]

not yet. I'm going by https://en.boardgamearena.com/#!doc/Fir ... BGA_Studio

I'm at this part:
----
Find your game in the 'PLAY NOW' section and create a table
Use the 'I want between X and X' players to tick down the maximum players number to the minimum
Click 'Express start': your game launches with the maximum number of players specified. It shows an empty canvas: in the game zone you just have a sentence 'This is your game interface. You can edit this HTML in your ".tpl" file.'.
Switch to your SFTP home folder, go into your game folder. Edit the game_game.tpl file, and change this sentence to 'Hey, this is my first game!', then save.
Go back to your browser and refresh, check that the game zone has updated.
---
I can't do the bolded part. and I don't think I can develop anything without being able to modify/create data.

You only get write access to your own projects, so you have to create your own project and then follow the steps as described. A new project is initialized as written (blank table with the text output).

Thanks, that clarified things up. But now I've ran into another problem:

Every time I make a new project and try to play its template in the "play now" menu (as indicated by the tutorial).

Well, I have to add it to my games first, but it gives me this error:

Code: Select all

Client error: TypeError: Error during callback from url /gamelobby/gamelobby/wannaplay.html. dom.byId(...) is null. During /gamelobby/gamelobby/wannaplay.html Received: {"status":1,"data":"ok"}

Then I tried to open its game page and got this error:

Code: Select all

Sorry, an unexpected error has occurred...

Game not found

Is there's a waiting period before I can start experimenting on the games (templates)? I can fiddle around with the source files but without seeing the output this won't be completely accurate.
-----------------------------------------------------
Edit: One other thing,

While I was trying to bypass this, I created a couple of games and experimented to see if I'd be able to bypass this. then I went and deleted a couple of them. but I still see them in my SFTP folder. and I can't delete them from there. Why is that? and is it possible to completely delete them (to save space and clutter).
-----------------------------------------------------
Second Edit: Now I can play the game I've just made. there appears to be a waiting period after all. But I'm not sure how that works.

I saw this one time, it has some weird delay between game creation and availability. It resolved itself the next day I could play it.
What is the game name?

Regarding deleted game you see them in remote folder?

tutorialreversinmego, it is available now and I'm tinkering around.

Regarding deleted game you see them in remote folder?

Yeah.

[Victoria_La]

Could not find tutorialreversinmego, but there is
reversitutorialnmego
and its working more less

Regarding removal have to wait until admin reads this...

[nmego]

well I did make both of them and deleted one so I probably mentioned the wrong one.

I didn't know deletion would be much of an issue and would require contacting an admin etc.. I think that would cause me to be more mindful of what projects I'm gonna create next on. (thought it would limit the room of experimentation a ll bit)

Actually delete is just a logical delete and the project can be recreated later, so I hadn't removed the files from the sftp folder of the project members.
But it's actually unclear, so better to remove the folder to make it clean. I updated that.

You can delete it again from http://studio.boardgamearena.com/#!stud ... OJECT_NAME> and then it should be good.
