Bug Report.

Under default play conditions, trying to load an empty save slot that doesn't exist goes to a file not found indicating a file of null.

May need to do a quick null check on restore and redirect back to a defined page, maybe stats?

Thanks Wolf, I'll look into that. I definitely tested that before, but maybe when I added more slots or changed to localstorage I broke it.

I've started looking into it. The problem repros in Chrome but not IE. I'll get to the bottom of it.

Okay, fixed it. Grab the _functions.js from the current AC. http://www.mediafire.com/download/six8f ... reator.zip

I verified that it does the right thing now in Chrome and Firefox, and I made sure it still does the right thing in IE.

Confirmed fixed. I no longer have the issue. Thanks Tlaero!

Might have to implement some "Union Rules" if this overwork - exploitation!!

I know I'm long of tooth (born 1950), if you watched these when new (guilty), you are too. And what the hell are you doing on a rock wall? Course I paddle my ass all over Puget Sound (kayak) too.

I'm a few decades younger than that, but, yes, I'm one of the older ones at the climbing gym. Well, except for the time my mother came to visit and I took her there. She rocked the place.

For some reason, every time I open AC and populate Game View, after 15 seconds or so the title message becomes:

Please wait while the Game View is populated. This can take a while. (Not Responding)

But what I see is:

Please wait while the Game View is populated. This can take a while. (Yes, I'm talking to you Wolf!)

After a while, once it's sure that I got the message that the game is getting too damn big, it goes ahead and loads. Seems like it didn't used to take this long.

Yeah, I didn't even do the last round of performance improvements until you sent the first alpha of your game and I was shocked how long it took. You certainly put AC through its paces.

Quick question: How would you post a score in the HTML at the top for only one page? Without having a complicated if else statement and pages for each score.

Or, to put it another way, what would be the easiest way of posting a numerical variable in the HTML header of a single page?

[Wolfschadowe]

If you mean the descriptive text that displays above the image, in AC that can be done with a function surrounded by [[ ]] for that particular page.

For example, in the AC Text field at the top enter something like:

Player, your current score is [[scorefunction()]]

then in game.js

Code: Select all

function scorefunction()
{
var score = whatever;  //Whatever you need to calculate the score, or whatever you want to display
document.write(score);
}


Let's say the result of the function is 42. The top of the webpage would display:
Player, your current score is 42

For changing text, just do something like:

document.write('This is the variable text to include')

This would fill in the score for that page only. This also works for the AC title fields for bottom text or hit target text. Hope I understood what you were asking, and hope this helps.

Ah yes, exactly what I wanted. Thanks a ton!
