League File archive not working?

Cooleyvol · 07-09-2006, 12:26 AM

OK, I may be dumb, but here's what I did:

First sim today.
Afterwards, I went to the screen to create the league file.

I clicked 15 days of boxscores, no game logs, and 15 days of messages.

I clicked the button to list the files, then created the archive.

Once done, I looked at its contents. ALL files are dated 7/4 at 958 am.

They should be dated 7/8.

At this point, thinking my owners wouldnt be able to open a tar.gz file if they don't have the right program. I extracted this file's contents to a folder I created named Universe.lg

I then used Winzip to zip that up and put the file up.
My owners say the game still shows as opening day.

So, at that point, I upload the tar.gz file (even though its contents are dated 7/4) and have an owner test it. It shows us at the point we should be at.

In addition, all the HTML reports that were in the other tar.gz file that I put up were correct, but had the 7/4 date.

Why are the dates wrong if the files are correct? I look in the actual .lg folder and these files are dated 7/8.

What gives?

Noting this and will verify with testers and TT to see if this has been logged first, and when I get the info I will post asap. Thanks.

TC, suggest you forward this thread link to both Andreas and Fidel. The process is fresh in both of their minds and we might be able to get an answer, at least to the date issue, as early as tomorrow. Thanks. As of right now, I don't see it logged. It may not be needed.

I tested it and looked at the contents and they had a date of July 4th on them, but at 10:58 AM and extracted them into a copy of the league folder and had no success, but when I did it and made sure file "names.dat" box was checked it worked. That has to be done the very first time. Now I ran the sim for another few months, zipped again and extracted to copy of league folder and it it didn't work, so I went back, checked the names.dat box again and extracted after zipping and it worked. I am TTing the fact that you have to check that box when it says you only need to do it once and the fact that date of files shows July 4th.

I might add that the file only worked when uploaded via the game.
