Bad room Id

[BigFIsh]

SmartFoxServer:
[WARNING] > SysHandler -> Bad room id. Action: pubMsg >> java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "null"

This error occurs randomly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'm using "simpleChat" as my Zone at the moment.

I think it has to do with the smartfox.onJoinRoom = function(myRoom:Room) { - sometimes it faile to excute.

Any ideas?

I did some further testing.. this is very odd..

Upon joining a room, using simpleChat example, this message ">> Room [The Hall] Joined" should be shown in the chat area.

The interesting thing is.. when publishing the .swf file as .html for my browser (F12), it works every 2nd time. i.e. I have 12 simpleChat.html running in one browser and 6 out of 12 shows the "message", rest is blank.

When the chat box is blank - I type in a message, and I get the bad room id error.

I'm testing from the same computer which runs the server.

Hope this narrows things down.

I found the problem...

And the problem was... ?

if (evtQueue.length > 0)
{
smartfox.onRoomListUpdate(evtQueue[0])
delete evtQueue
}

I forgot about that little piece of code

I have the same exactly problem, but I can't find the solution. I think it has something to do w/ what the whole join room thing.

Correct, if you send a message without being joined in any room you'll get that error. Make sure to handle the join errors properly on the client side to avoid that the client can send requests after a join failure.

The thing is that the nJoinRoomError doesn't get called. I test it a lot, just run the simpleChat in firefox and you will eventually get someone who is in the game, but not the userlist.

if it doesn't get called there's no error then

Can you better explain? The game? which game?
Please try to be as clear as possible and explain the steps that you execute and the problems you get.

The above problem has been fixed so I don't know exactly what you are talking about. (maybe starting a new thread with a clear description of the problem would have been more appropriate)
