Bug: WOA

[Ruddertail]

I logged in, was planning to make a run. Went to the scores, found my targets. Went to bank, pulled out $30 mil cash by typing in the numbers. Went to attack, saw one of my targets was green, so I went to hawks to Prepare troops. I select the mission, hit "Send" and it says "Not enough turns", and shows me at 0.

I'd had 436 + turns. I'm not sure when exactly in that sequence the turns disappeared, but apparently, they did, because I sure don't have them now.

So... That's everything I can think of, and I think I have the sequence right. If you need more info, let me know.

I am just plain not getting any turns. Wait, sorry, in the past day I have received 15 turns. something is obviously bugged in WoA, so if anybody can check it out, that would be great.

[Slasher]

I got 288 this morning when I woke up and I had 35 in the turn bank, the turn bank can't be right

[Ruddertail]

It's back... Had 400 + turns last night. Log in this morning, 165.

Turns in the turn bank also went down. I think it was 80 something last night, and it's now 60.

[Freenhult]

Told you. It never went away. My turn bank in WoA is still buggy.

[Ruddertail]

Yeah, but you weren't losing turns off the main account or anything, were you?

From what I see this is the portion of code that has changed at some point because it is not what we run at ME:

File: funcs.php

code: Select all

    //Turns, Forces, Attacks
    if(PERMINUTES == 0)
        $times = $config[maxturns];
    else
        $times = floor(($time-$user['turns_last'])/(60*$perminutes));
    if($times > 0) {
        $user[turns] += $times*$turnsper;
        if($user[turnsstored] > 0) {
            $out = min($times, $user[turnsstored]);
            $user[turns] += $out;
            $user[turnsstored] -= $out;
        }
        if($user[turns] > $config[maxturns]) {
            $user[turnsstored] += ($user[turns]-$config[maxturns]);
            $user[turns]  = $config[maxturns];
        }
        if($user[turnsstored] > $config[maxstoredturns])
            $user[turnsstored] = $config[maxstoredturns];
        
        if($user[forces] < 11 && $user[forces] > 0) {
            $user[forces] -= $times;
            if($user[forces] < 1)
                $user[forces] = 1;
            fixInputNum($user[forces]);
        }

        $last = $time - $time%(60*$perminutes);
        $lastturnbank = $time - $time%(60*$config['bankperminutes']);

The PERMINUTES raises questions because it is a constant that is not defined in constants.php. In constants.php line 318 you have define('perminutes', 'perminutes'); but that is not the same as PERMINUTES. Also the code with $times and $user['forces']? What is that doing?

It was a later addition. Thanks for pointing it out, at least now I have somewhere to start.

[Freenhult]

...Omg. Major Deja-vu.

I just inspected your WOA account and it seems to have 450 turns. I haven't touched it either.

Kraken, can you post your current game time with your current turns every time you have that problem? I've looked through both threads and every single instance of someone having dissappearing turns their current turns were always divisible by 3. This leads me to believe that the bug resets your current turns to 0 and the turns you see are just what you've gained in the time since it happened to the time since you noticed it. Since we get 3 turns per 15 minutes we can theoretically count back to about when the bug occurred and that may help us localize the problem.

So if you have the bug, post the details here. And does this thing happen often enough that I could experience it easily by creating a test account?

[Kraken]

yes yes, i currently have 450 turns thanks to a favor from Daisy head.

Just a note; that's not the problem:

code: Select all

devari@devari ~/Desktop/FAF $ grep 'PERMINUTES' *
conf-proc.php:  define('PERMINUTES', 0);
conf-proc.php:  define('PERMINUTES', $config['perminutes']);
funcs.php:      if(PERMINUTES == 0)

[edit] Err, I should note that what I have on my Desktop is the source from this morning...[/edit]

Another note; I've set up a few extra lines in the turn fakecron that email me if something really weird happens. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why this is happening, so I want to see if I can "catch it in the act"; basically, I want to see if it really is the turn fakecron that is causing this. Hopefully it'll pop up again soon.

Perhaps it simply is some "black magic" due to the WOA database merge or whatever happened with that old backup? There doesn't seem to be a logical reason anywhere along the line...

I've got a very sketchy guess that only accounts from the "original" WOA are affected. So a test account wouldn't do the trick.
