very fast game
A 1 hour turn around game - very quick, but it only 5 points in so it doesn't matter if you miss a turn or two.

Need a Mod - Bug with Unit Placement
In the game http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7581 I'm Russia and I took both Con and Smyrna from Turkey. But because of a bug somehow Turkey was able to retreat each of the units in those spots into the other spot which destroyed my unit but still gave me control of the Area. At first I thought it was a graphical bug bu Turkey had to disband one of the units in question and now has a unit where he shouldn't.

Why do countries with 0 SCs left have to enter moves to disband? People rarely do it and the game takes another day or however long...

Also, when a unit has no choice to disband, why must orders be entered?

Unitless map bug details
Details on what happened with the unitless map bug are inside
kestasjk (95 DMod(P))
08 Jan 09 UTC
I found a couple of games which had disappearing units again, I fixed those and checked through the code and found no problems (the code has worked fine for almost a year, and only certain records were affected, so it wasn't likely to be the problem)

The SQL which inserts the record does join three types of table, MyISAM, InnoDB and memory, which shouldn't cause problems but I changed the memory table to be InnoDB as a precaution

Also I noticed some users were running the gamemaster.php themselves, so I've reenabled the gamemaster password. The database should lock people out of causing problems by running multiple gamemaster.php, but with the database acting up this is an extra measure

Theres also a check that moves get inserted, so if the problems continue at least it'll realize and roll back the process before things are saved, and I'll have some data from the crash logs on why it happens

After running the process script (on the dev server, then here) it didn't find any new moveless games and didn't bring up any errors. Maybe the table type change had an effect, maybe it's just a really rare problem and it'll occur again. Either way there shouldn't be any problems, so hopefully no more messed up games

Sorry for the delays, hopefully there'll be no more surprises before 0.83 comes out, which will have more checks to make sure the database isn't messing up

Are you doing transactional processing, checking the result of your SQL calls, and issuing rollbacks on error?
Draugnar (0 DX)
08 Jan 09 UTC
Whenever I have DB issues, I find it's normally because some bingo before didn't wrap related calls that were dependent on each other into a transaction with an on error rollback and retry.

gameID=7871 is still not right. Pieces are in Spring '01, but the game is in Autumn '01. Should we just play from there? Would be interesting, but its not right.
http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=7693&msgCountry=Global

We missed Spring Retreats 1903 and Autumn 1903 and unit placement.
kestasjk (95 DMod(P))
08 Jan 09 UTC
mwalton the map is reporting where the units currently are, the game may have been processed early at some point when I was dealing with it last time, so no moves were entered for spring '01. I think it'd be best to play it safe and just play from where it is now
kestasjk (95 DMod(P))
08 Jan 09 UTC
Draugnar yep we use transactions, the code previously didn't check whether moves were inserted because the SQL says "insert the moves", it looks silly having a check right after that saying "were the moves inserted?", plus it has worked fine for months. Because no checks were performed the bad data gets committed, now with the extra check if there's a problem it'll get rolled back and the game is flagged as crashed, and a full error is logged
kestasjk (95 DMod(P))
08 Jan 09 UTC
Was that one of the games that had problems before DJ? I've looked through all the other games and it looks like they all got their orders in and the turn processed like normal
YES Kestas that is one of the games. Look through the maps. Yo can see it skip from Spring 1902 to Spring 1903.

I've moved that game back a turn, and mwalton's game too, since these are the problem games

Is the fact that none of the countries on the map of this game are colored also related to this bug? The game was drawn around the time the bug surfaced... and now it doesn't look as cool as it could have...

Quite probably yes.
Whilst its not great, as everything is back in order I'd personally suggest just moving on. Obviously it'd be nice to have the full map, but there's not much loss and anyway, one day you'll look back with pride and reminisce!
