Here's the game in question: https://www.warzone.com/MultiPlayer?GameID=32507118

Here's the details error that pops up when you try to boot the guy who didn't take his turn yet:

The error has to do with https://github.com/Derfellios/King-Of-The-Hills/blob/main/Server_AdvanceTurn.lua#L52:

PlayerID = game.ServerGame.LatestTurnStanding.Territories[Hills[1]].OwnerPlayerID;

It looks like all the problems come from Hills being empty or nil.

Yeah it's so wierd.

We noticed at the start that hills locations were not appearing in the mod menu (where it lists the locations).

I'll notify the guy who made it.

And based on the game settings, you also had at least 5 neutral territories when the game was created, right?

Oh, the game just gave me an error as well:

Sorry, the mod "King Of The Hills" has failed.  Error: 
pcall failure in function Client_GameRefresh ret=-1 Error: Exception: Spectators cannot send game messages

Um, we had manual picks available on every single territory, so there were no neutral territories at start. But after we all picked, on the next turn there'd be a hundred or more neutrals.

Ah, that is the problem then, since pickable territories are not neutral (they have a different ID under the hood), so when the mod was making hills, it found 0 neutral territories, thus having no hills in the game.

And now each turn the mod will crash because it sees that all 0 hills belong to the same owner, and then tries to make the owner of the hills the winner of the game.

poor confused mod

I can see this mod is generating a lot of errors, nearly 4000. I'm going to remove it from the mods list for now, but if the creator (or anyone) can fix it I'll put it back up.

@Fizzer will that allow Alpha's game to advance again? or is his game ruined now?

^^

If the mod author updates the mod it will, but otherwise unfortunately I don't see a way how to...

@Fizzer JK_3 already found the problem for Alpha's game, and I know how to fix JK_3 error he got when he opened the game. It's just that we cannot update the code without the mod author updating his github code and refreshing the code here in Warzone. Do you have the power to step in in this kind of situation? This might occur again seeing how Dabo1 and Derfellios both aren't (really) active anymore while they do have created some mods that are used from time to time

My poor sweet summer child
I'm sorry it had to be this way
Mod: "was I a fun one?"
Me: "one of the best"

*shoots mod in face*

4000 errors? I assume this is from the same game....

If Derfellios doesnt come back I can just steal his code and upload a V2, but last time I check he was seen online 23 hours ago, so I assume they are gonna fix their own mod.

It looks like the mod is still crashing the game...

@Fizzer how to fix the game now? you might have to manually delete it (and perhaps refund Alpha his coins 👀) to make it stop crashing.

@Alpha since Fizzer isnt actively responding, and the mod isnt going to fix itself, the best thing to do would be to ask the other players to surrender to you so you can get a few of your coins back. (Since its a coin game, you cant VTE.)

Right, well, I doubt they'll surrender.

well its just about the only way to end the game

or it must keep sending so many error messages to Fizzer that he decides to just erase the game from existence
