Upload game

[kvazmatik]

I'm trying now upload my first game on kongregate but without succes. What I get is blank screen with error textures.

I guess it's server problem. So I googled but without anything usefull ?

See if the console log in developer tools (F12) says anything that helps.

I haven't uploaded to kongregate but probably path problems  (absolute or relative). developer tools should show what path they are looking for 

 this.game.load.image('example', 'assets/example.png');
 or 
 this.game.load.image('example', '/assets/example.png');

Thank you mattferndale, I removed slash symbol and now it's showing textures. Hurray!

Unfortunately game input become active only when I click on very tiny spot in TOP-LEFT corner but that's most likely kongregate's fault.

Ok so with input problem. I uploaded game also on NewGrounds. Clicking on game does not turn it interactive. I found that maybe iframe is blocking game canvas.

Am I missing some metadata in header ? Anyone got running game on these sites?

Are you using 3.7.1 which is listening on the click event to activate sound? Previous versions only listened to touch events.

[kvazmatik]

Tried 3.7.1 and using 3.6. but that's not the issue.

I mean when you load webpage with game. Game is running but it's not interactive so you have to click on it. What I found, is I have to click on iFrame which is overlaped with game canvas. Only small area are not blocked by canvas (white lines, see picture).

I figured out this problem by adding css code into header section. Css z-index property did the job.

<style>
  body {
   margin: 0px;
  }

  canvas {
   position: relative;
   z-index: -5;
  }
</style>

@kiklop133 did you figure out how to resolve this?

[kvazmatik]

@bobonthenet Yes I did, see my previous submission. So, topic can be closed I guess.

[bobonthenet]

@kiklop133 rather than making the user click outside the game within the iframe which is not ideal. I just found out you can add the following to your game config. I hope this is even better for you.

 input: {
    keyboard: true,
    mouse:  {capture: false},
    touch: true,
    gamepad: false
  },

@bobonthenet code is working flawlessly, and if that's make game experience more stable why not use it . Thank you.
