Board Game Arena

Hi everyone!
I had nightmares when I was implementing a tie breaker and then fixing bugs in it
The problem is that you cannot replay a game which is finished and my game finishes straightaway after a tie breaker (obviously). I need to create a new game, amend players scores in DB and then play one round for each player for game to be in the state when at least 2 players have a tie to check if bug is fixed. It usually takes up to 2 minutes for 1 iteration which is annoying after 10th iteration of bugfixing. Is there a way to do this faster? Is there a way to return back to the game after it was finished using saved states?

You can run PHP functions from chat on studio (https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Tools ... BGA_Studio), so I'd suggest making a function which gives the players resources/puts the game into a lategame state. Alternatively, you could run the end game scoring directly, and then just check score_aux after doing that.

Thanks, Archduke, will try to do a PHP function, I forgot about this ability

You can also try to dump and export a database state _just before_ game ends with the PHPMyAdmin then create a new game and import.

You can then debug the very same end game score to challenge and debug your ties.



Another way to debug end game states, is to and before to see how are the scores or interesting variables. It can help challenging _without_ ending the game.

Thanks, cpasbanal, will try to dump the DB state!
