number of players limit not working?

[Idsky]

On Studio, on a new project (factum) I set

Code: Select all

'players' => array( 4, 5, 6 ),

But when I create a game, it only has 2 player slots (it should not allow that few),
and when I try to add a player I get the error: "Can't start game with less players"

If I set

Code: Select all

'players' => array( 4 ),

Then I still only get 2 slots but no + or - buttons on the player slots.

Reloading gameinfos.inc.php in control panel appears to work fine.

The lobby correctly shows 4 slots before I hit the 'Create' button.

Oh I see the problem bug (with studio code and my previous behaviour, not my game settings).

I started a game with 2 players before I increased the minimum player limit to 4.
Now, it defaults to 2 players if I start another game, even though that is less than the minimum allowed number!
And it won't let me increase the value since 3 is still too few players!

I tricked it into working by gradually increasing the minimum player number first to 3 (+ button then successfully added a 3rd player to reach new minimum) and then 4 (+ button then worked once more to reach new correct minimum)!

Yes, developers can block themselves with saved preferences if they change the game player number.
But they can also unblock themselves by changing player number again, launching a game with a larger number, and then getting back to the numbers they want.
Anyway, good that you found a solution
