[SOLVED] is it possible to suppress bugging tables???

[Rudolf]

Hello,
since Saturday, I cannot make an express start, the server says there is no enough free players... (but all are available).
So I have to connect each and join to start. I should be caused by still existing tables (bugged).

Works fine for me. Happened to me before when almost all my pikiou0-9 accounts were in games already.

I think the problem is caused by remaining bugged tables:

4358
2907
541
300
296
199

is it possible to suppress it? I did a close, but nothing happens.

Indeed, the problem is there are games you abandoned but which are still running and therefor prevent zombie players from "express" joining other games (yup, that's a BGA Studio bug).
So you need to end these games, and the only way I know of is to move from a state to the gameEnd state.

First, find a state with a 'gameEnd' transition to state 99. Let's call it beforeTheEnd.
Then in the SQL table named global, change the global_value with global_id=1 (seems to be current state id) to the id of beforeTheEnd, so the state engine is set to that state.
And finally, add "$this->gamestate->nextState('gameEnd');" at the start of getAllDatas before refreshing the table page.
It will move from state beforeTheEnd to state gameEnd, actually ending the game and releasing all accounts associated with it.

Thanks Pikiou for the trick.
I did'nt code an end link right now, but I will.
