Game not starting

[adela82]

I don't know what to do. I'm developing Awkward Guests, and the game doesn't start, and I can't see the error because the page loads the box themed previous to the game but stops, with no message.

In fact, in table settings, I can't change the number of players despite I have from 3 to 8 players in gameinfos, and I reloaded it several times... I don't know what do next.

The project name is awkwardguests.

Thanks in advance

Normally, F12 will help to show you in the developer console, it will be something in the JS.
but your game doesn't show anything meaningful apart from your JSON cannot be parsed, which usually means that the general formatting is wrong.

You've missed a curly bracket off the end of function or if statement, or a ',' after a function definition, or you've screwed something in the define at the top.
Try using this:

I had this problem when there was an syntax error in dbmodel.sql : no SQL tables are created and the game stops without errors.

I use the Developer tools but shows no errors...

Check this situation, if you can see a thing!

On the other hand, I still don't know why the gameinfos doesn't load the number of players properly

I created a table and can set players from 3-8.

Starting lets the game freeze immediately, and the console just shows 1 entry. Seems that the game does not even reach the client.

Sorry that JSON error I get is because of my adblocker - same for my games.

All your DB tables are created, but there are no rows in references, solution or clues.

but yes the F12 console does not even show the 'constructor log'.

I checked all the files for syntax errors and they all passed.

Can you add var_dump('here'); (possibly add die(); afterwards) in the game.php see if anything gets run at all.

Maybe the best place to start are the changes you made recently and rewind those until the game loads again.

This looks the most ominous:

Pure guess, but that 50 into global 11, is the game progression being set to 50. If this is the last thing that happens then it's perhaps one of your game actions.

I think you're only allowed a default if there is only 1 option:
"transitions" => array("" => 45, "zombiePass" => 2)

You have a double ;;
$this->cluesDeck->moveCards($cards, "offer", $player_id);;

Thanks! Where do you see those logs?

BTW, It keeps saying to me "Can't start game with less players" every time I try to change the number of players, no matter if I change the minimum or maximum, and no matter if plus or minus... I don't know why!

There are some buttons at the bottom of the page. If you can't get to them because the game doesn't load, then instead load a different game and you can then hack the url to suit your game/table id. Someone mentioned that you could bookmark the link and then just hack the table id.
