nodegame-server's Issues

When there are levels, bot is connected from game folder, rather than levels

dispatchWithBots should not change global settings

As it does in this line:

nodegame-server/lib/rooms/WaitingRoom.js

Line 400 in 5c07ec3

this.PING_BEFORE_DISPATCH = false;

Moreover, assuming, for example, that you have 5 real players in the waiting room, and you want to add 5 bots to start the game, you probably want to PING the real five anyway, right? But not the bots.

Think about how to implement this, and we can discuss it in tomorrow meeting.

Easy way to parse query string parameter by game or game room

At the moment, you can do it only with auth enabled or by directly accessing channel.playerServer.clientObjDecorator

There is no clear way of setting the treatment via queryString parameter, or overwriting a setting. This could be automatized.

Demo branch is using reserved word abstract

See:
https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_reserved.asp

Please rename to "publication" also in the games.

game.settings variables can only be referenced by an active treatment in views

Values and variables defined in game.settings.js can only be referenced by an active treatment (in the views):

var newVariable = settings.treatmentName.variable;

Since it is sometimes necessary to deactivate certain treatments, it would be preferable if it were possible to reference them directly without being tied to a specific treatment.

Meritocracy fails to load CHOSEN_TREATMENT

This is a bug introduced in 4.3.0.
TODO: Fix routine creating WaitingRoom.availableTreatments.

Update documentation for room parameters

• roomOwnDataDir: true
• roomCounter: 100,
• roomCounterChars: 6

Also add defaults in channel.settings in game template.

PhantomJS Bot crashes the server

When I click on Start Bot in the monitor interface the server crashes with the following error:
