[DROPPED][LOW] Expired Session Variable

[Natmus]

The only problem was that I had forgotten to create a garrison before transferring troops to the keep. Surely I did not deserve all those messages for one minor error?

What did you do exactly?

Looks like your session expired (had you left the game for some time?), and so the cheat code kicked in plus all the validation messages popped up as nothing matched since all your lord's details had effectively vanished with the session variable.

Nice find!

I'll put in a fix asap.

Also will move this to the Bugs forum

Nothing! Absolutely nothing!

Okay, what I did was to transfer some riders and warriors both to a keep. The problem was that I hadn't bothered creating a garrison first, so I simply filled out the numbers and pressed the 'To' button.

That's all. Apparantly that's enough to set off all those alarm bells. About the two first messages I could suspect that the numbers had been entered wrongly, but I don't think so. Even so, I can't investigate that now, as I didn't consider it an error at the time. More something of an amusing coincidence, and an over-eager programmer

I'm onto it. Thanks Mads.

The strange thing is that I can't recreate it now. It may have been a stranger error than simply a missing garrison.

What was the time delay bewteen you hitting "To" and any previous action such as viewing, moving, seeking etc?

Or you've just stumbled across my Mouse-trap code!

Ten, fifteen seconds tops. I was in the middle of my turn, so I couldn't have been logged out from long time's disuse. As I remember it I was simply playing my turn, and decided to ditch the troops of that lord to move faster to pick up troops another place. So I wrote in the numbers he was travelling with, and pressed "To".

I knew immediatly I had made an error in not creating a garrison first, but was surprised of the amout of error messages.

Riiiiiight

Odd, I've just been trying to replicate this and cannot - I always get the Javascript message saying that I need to select a lord or garrison first

I wonder whether somehow the JS interpreter simply didn't kick in for that one refresh - I haven't heard of such a bug in Firefox before but maybe it's a possibility...
