Is there a way to make the session open for 24/7?

i mean my game needs the server doesnt delete the empty session, is there a way to interfere it?
what i mean about that is make the session running even its empty?

For what purpose are you trying to keep a session running?

Sessions aren't meant to be permanent. They will disappear eventually. If you want information to be stored permanently you should store it in an INI or a BDB.

Im using sessions to make worlds, worlds represent the main game place where people can build and lock the worlds or claim it

The sessions are in BDB inside game-ini but then if theres no players exists in the sessions it will disappear,
i was wondering if making the empty session permanent and saved all information inside it?

Sessions cannot be permanent. You'll have to create some other system that only relies on INIs or BDBs to create or save worlds.

The 'Blocks' example in the download shows one way you could do this.

is there any tutorials here on what type of system should i make without using the Sessions for the world?
i really need help with this

Apologies for the delay. The 'Blocks' example should be a good starting point if you need to store a lot of information. It shows a basic world system, as well as syncing the worlds.

If you only need to store a little information, you could also use the GameINI. However, I'd suggest using the BDBs if you can, as they will most likely more efficient.
