Post your Gemp-LotR bugs here

[MarcinS]

I had the same bug today multiple times.
It was each time a shadowplayer assigned a minion due to a skill like. Here it was in my first turn on site 2 and on site 8 during OneFathomes turn.

I saw the samething with the Orc Assasin in some games today...

If the problem was with what I think it was, then the restart I did today morning (about 3 hours ago) should have fixed that. If you are still having the same problems, please post again.

My username on Gemp is DurinIII. I don't remember the exact wording in the error message, but it said something to the affect of... Faramir cannot be assigned to more than one minion. There was only one minion assigned to Faramir. The other minion was assigned to Aragorn.

yeah. that  should be fixed already.

It was at site 5 or 6.  I played a Gorgoroth Assassin and a troll.  I assigned the Gorgoroth Assassin to Faramir, then when he went to assign minions he was getting some sort of error message (I don't know the exact wording since I couldn't see what he was getting) about too many minions assigned to Faramir.  I was playing with DurinIII, so if you check with him he should be able to tell you.

Maybe he was trying to assign Troll to Faramir which was not legal, because Faramir didn't have Defender+1 and that's the error he was getting: "Faramir can't have so many minions assigned"?

That's the message he was getting, but he wasn't assigning the troll to Faramir.  He assigned it to someone else and still got that message.

Actually, thinking about it, that bug also popped up in another game yesterday where I used Between Nazgul and Prey to assign Enquea to a companion.  Enquea was the only minion on the table and he was getting "Legolas can't have so many minions assigned"

[MarcinS]

Yeah, because from client (browser) perspective, he was also trying to assign Enquea to a companion, and then the server when counting how many minions he tried to assign to the companion, it was counting Enquea twice - once because it was already assigned, and once more, because the browser told server, that he assigned Enquea to the companion.

Now after fixing the problem, where players at the end of assignment phase can only assign unassigned minions, this should work correctly.

Today i got this several times:

"There was a problem communicating with the server (404), if the game is finished, it has been removed, otherwise you have lost connection to the server.
Refresh the page (press F5) to resume the game, or press back on your browser to get back to the Game Hall."

As I posted before this happend during a game and than the game was stuck. The only way out was to concede after I updated my browser and emptied my cache. Before I did those two things, even the concede-button didn't work.
Maybe you know the problem. All other sites worked well so i don't think that there was something wrong with my internet connection or something like that...


btw:
Great job Marcin!
Maybe you could think about a savegame option so a game could be saved and continued if one player has to leave because of whatever. Would be great!

It might have been a problem that was already fixed yesterday morning (GMT time). As for being unable to concede - were you getting the same error?

[tanzhamster]

Yes got the same error during the game in the morning, before you fixed it and sometimes during the day, especially before i posted it here.

If you're getting 404 error during game (the number in brackets in the error message), then it has to be one of the following things:
- server was taken down, possibly for restart,
- game you're trying to access no longer exists, which can happen only if the game was finished at least 10 minutes earlier,
- for some reason your browser is unable to connect to the server (proxy problems?) and something in the middle (proxy?) sends 404 instead of a proper response for this case.

If this problem persists, try to close all browser windows and login to the game again (main page of the game). If you will not be redirected to your game after entering Game Hall, then it means your game was already finished. If you will be redirected, you should be able to continue your game.

One more thing. What browser are you using?

[tanzhamster]

I use firefox. Closed all windows. Restartet browser got back to Gemp and was redirected to the game. even after i restartet my laptop.

In the other cases i just was a spectator and could go back and join again without any problems.

So, after you logged in to the game again (after closing your browser), you got redirected to the game, you were immediately getting 404 errors?

[tanzhamster]

yes. even after i restarted my laptop i was redirected to my game that was stuck.


when i was a spectator it took some minutes until i get a new error.

Aaaah! Let me put it very clearly - there is no way of "un-stucking" a game. If it's stuck it will not proceed, no matter what you do, because server doesn't know how to proceed, as it has encountered an error in the game code.

All the time I thought you had problems with 404 errors, and the list I gave for possible causes, are for the 404 problem only, and not "stuck" games.

[MarcinS]

Since the restart yesterday at 11:30am GMT time, there was no stuck games (I checked the logs).

[tanzhamster]

okay :-D
