== I can't access the Studio back-office, I get a 'Not authorized' error message? ==
== I can't edit the files in my game directory, it looks like they are readonly. What's happening? ==


You should first connect to the Studio website (with any of your <developer name><number> accounts). As the authentication is shared with the back-office, then you will be able to access it.
Maybe there is a maintenance operation underway.


== I don't know the name to use to commit my game, what name should I use? ==
If you don't get access back after some time (say one or two hours), please send us a mail to check.
 
The game name for committing is the name of the game in lower case and without spaces or special characters (ex: puertorico).
It is the same name as the name used for the game folder in your SFTP access.
 
== It's pretty annoying to log in with multiple users to start a game. Is there some easier way? ==
 
You can use the 'Express start' function. It will automatically make the specified number of players join the game (using the first of your ten player accounts available) and start the game.
 
During the game, there is a red arrow on the right of each player name, that you can use to open a tab from this player's perspective.
 
You can also end the game in two clicks by clicking the 'End game' button then selecting 'Express game stop' in the popup.

BGA administrators will translate the game in French before the game release.
The community will translate the game in all language after the game release with the collaborative translation interface can be used to translate into other languages.
 
After the game release, the collaborative translation interface can be used to translate into other languages.
 
== Is there a special way to declare the strings that must be translated? ==
 
Yes. This declaration is made through transparent functions, that depend on the context.
 
In javascript files, you should use _( 'My string to translate' ).


In php files, you should use self::_( 'My string to translate' ) when the string can be translated on the server side (ex: title included in the game layout) and clienttranslate( 'My string to translate' ) when the string must be translated on the client side (ex: message for the game log).
Check [[Translations]] to see how to make your game translatable.

On BGA Studio, there is the gameserver you are developing on, and the main site server that is used to launch the games. The game icon, box and the publisher logo are hosted on the main site server, so they are not immediately available when you modify them on the gameserver. To deploy them on the main site, you have to use the [[Studio back-office]] to do a commit.
'''Concerning game_box.png, game_icon.png and publisher.png''':
You must use "Reload game box image" function from "Control Panel / Manage Games / Your game" to make your change visible.


'''Concerning other images''':
Other images used during the game are immediately available without any action.
If the images still don't show after that, please try emptying your browser cache and reloading the page.

== I added some game options / some game statistics, but they don't show? ==
== I added some game options / some game statistics / some game infos but they don't show? ==
 
An extra deployment action from the BGA administrators is needed to activate new game options and statistics. Please contact us.
 
== Is there a quick way to access the database for my current table? ==
 
Yes! While playing a game on studio, you have a "Go to game database" link at the bottom of your game. This link will bring you directly to the database for the current table.
 
== What is the best way to debug? ==
 
On the server side (PHP), you can use one of these:
* die(var_dump( $variable_to_inspect );
* throw new BgaUserException(var_dump( $variable_to_inspect );


On the client side (Javascript), we recommand installing Firebug for Firefox (or using the 'Developer tools' with Chrome that have about the same functionalities), then:
When you modify one of these 3 files, you need to use the corresponding update action from "Control Panel / Manage Games / Your Game" in order we can take this information into account.
* console.log( variable_to_inspect ); will give you the object structure of the variable in the Firebug console, without blocking the execution. It's often a good idea to precede this call with a console.log( '### HERE ###' ); to find more easily the appropriate line in the console log.
* alert( variable_to_inspect ); will popup what you wish and pause the execution until you click ok. This won't be useful for complex structures, only native types will get plainly displayed. But this is sometimes useful just with messages to make sure which way the execution goes.


In general for debugging, think of using the 'Save & restore state' functionality. It enables you to save the state of your game just before the issue you are investigating, then come back to that point with one click as many times as needed to understand what is going wrong. You can save up to 3 different states.

=== Some frequent errors ===
If you are developing a game in the public domain, yes (or you can make your own if you feel it's better).


; The following error occurs when launching the game "Fatal error during creation of database ebd_quoridor_389 Not logged."
If you are developing a game for which we have a licence, we will usually provide art files from the publisher.
: Check that you didn't use $g_user or getCurrentPlayerId() in setupNewGame() function or in an "args" function of your state. As these functions are not consequences of a user action, there is no current player defined. As a general rule, you should use getActivePlayerId() and not getCurrentPlayerId(). See the [http://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/bga-studio-focus-on-bga-game-state-machine presentation on the game state machine] for more information.
