Creating a map for my game does not work

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

In the dialog window I entered "Runes of Oblivion as title and gave the dimensions 18x21.
Clicking the create button does nothing.

I'll look into that as well!

You shouldn't have any trouble making a map now, though it seems that maps are still a bit buggy. I'm gonna keep working on it, but if you run into any issues, lemme know!

Works now.

Klicking on the settings button (gear) on the game page gives an SQL Error:

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'columns' in 'field list'' in /var/www/gamersplane/games/maps/details.php on line 11

Editing the Map works so far but I'd like to have dungeon tiles. Like the ones in the Basic D&D rules for example:

First, the details bug is fixed.

Second, tiles are actually planned, but a bit lower on my priority list; I want to make sure the post experience is top notch first, then I plan on addressing things like the maps. Another part of it is people haven't really been using the maps, so I haven't really put too much thought into it. And finally, I'm not a great designer, and definitely not a good artist, so artwork like that would take a bit :/

I do appreciate the suggestion though!

Jut take an open source icon set... there should be some out there :-)
May 1, 2015 3:33 pm
Haha, I tried clicking on the map and the system spat out Don't peak behind the DM screen!
You might want to try looking somewhere else.

Well played, Keleth!

ROFL wonderful :-) I have set the map to not visible :-)

* Saving changes on the map doesn't work
* Scrolling the map doesn't work

I'd like to use it for fights :-)

I'd like for you to use it for fights! That's what I built it for!

I made a MASSIVE code change to how the games system worked a few months ago, and I suspect some things on maps slipped through the cracks.

So the maps system technically works now, but I'm realizing its REALLY not use friendly. I'm gonna go back to look over it again, but some 30-40% of it may need to be recoded.

Sorry you seem to have introduced a new error on the games page.
The map section now reads:

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'deleted' in 'where clause'' in /var/www/gamersplane/games/details.php on line 254

Sorry, I was lazy about releasing. Its good now.
May 3, 2015 3:57 pm
Saving the map still doesn't work....
May 3, 2015 4:06 pm
Hm... its working for me... going back to the code.

When you say saving, do you mean from the map details page? Or do you mean on the map page itself?
May 3, 2015 4:12 pm
* I put some tiles on the map.
* I klick save.
* I change the page.
* I back go to the map details
=> The map is empty.

I see...

Yah, I think I may have to just redo a large part of the maps. It was built back near the start of GP, and I've done my best to keep it up to date, but as its not a tool people were using, it fell by the wayside a time or two. I'm looking through, and JS is a mess.

I've been building Gamers' Plane for 10 years now, though its current, "working" configuration is 4 years old, which is still pretty old for a solo, on the side project.
May 3, 2015 4:37 pm
:-) better than my track record... I rarely finish side projects.
