Title: Blank screen?
Post by: Vellos on July 06, 2012, 02:03:21 AM
Is anybody else getting a completely blank screen when they click "play"?

I'm not reporting this as a bug yet because it may be a problem on my side.

Yep, looks like an update went bad, and Tom's probably gone to bed already.

Anyone else like how a game breaking bug is something that we "hope" we can fix?

I thought that was a nice way to say that.

It is fixed in r6237.  Entirely my fault, my apologies. :(

So what happened to cause that?

I forgot to remove a parenthesis and neglected to test the seemingly minor change.

Was the parenthesis with the link of play and quickplay or what part of the code caused this? I am just curious.

I thought it amusing? If we can't get laughs out of the good and the bad, what's the point?

I left an extra bracket at the end of an if condition in the playchar script so it caused a syntax error as php parses that script when players try to access it by clicking on play.

Personally, I don't know if this is clearer than my previous explanation.

You know, I could have imagine Tom doing something like this for an April Fool's joke, but include the message numbers increasing. :|

I did nothing but update the live server on this one. So while Foundation caused the bug, he also fixed it. So please don't put down the developers who put in their spare time for no gain except glory.

Don't worry, he was clearly kidding. We all love Foundation, our favorite troll. ;D
