Board Game Arena

So I folowed along the wiki and added:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `board` (
`board_x` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
`board_y` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
`board_player` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`board_x`,`board_y`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

to the dbmodel.sql.

I started a new game and checked, but there is no table board in the database. I also get an error in the logs that the board table can not be found. Do I miss a step here?

Same as usual, make sure the file on the FTP folder was correctly updated. Nothing wrong done from what you say.

make sure the file on the FTP folder was correctly updated

I struggled with this before? How can I make sure? I have set up vscode that updates happen automatically like described.

I check with FileZilla, WinSCP works too.
If you can't find the issue, please share your project name, so I can have a look.
And if you want to join Dev discord (link in the studio doc), you'll probably get faster answers.

Now it worked.

I had to close and reopen vs code, enforce the sftp sync from local to Remote. And now the table is there.

Not sure why it didn't work before.

And thanks, I joined the discord.

You also have a command palette to force sync in vscode

I know it must be exhausting to keep answering the same questions every few months. I did read over the other threads to try to find the answer.

Here's what happened. I edited my .css file and .js file as instructed in the "Add the board" section of the tutorial. I have confirmed that the board.jpg file is loading and is not the source of the error (I did have to sync my img folder, but at least I figured that part out myself). But I'm still getting the stuck at 10% "loading game art" hang, yes, even after ctrl+F5.

The thing is, the error I'm seeing in the console is not a part of the .js that I've touched. This error is being flagged at line 65:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'insertAdjacentHTML')

Here's the code at line 65 for context:

I think you've removed/renamed the div with id="player-tables", that will cause the error you're seeing. If you don't need it you can remove that js or just retarget it to the new player container div.

Thanks. I will comment it out for now in case it will be used later in the tutorial, but I checked the VS Code timeline and I did not touch anything at all in the .js file (even accidentally) except this part: So that player-tables div was there from the start, but didn't cause an issue initially.

I see this in the emptygame project:
