Wrong league date

Another Mike D · 03-13-2005, 12:22 AM

I run a league, and for some reason whenever people download the file, the league date is incorrect. I've been running this league for years and simmed 10 seasons and never had this problem.

The weird thing is, when people unzip the file, the league date is the correct year, but the month and day are that of a different league...or the prior file. The standings and stats are all updated, just the league date is wrong. It's causing all the exports to fail. I usually zip the file, and remove all older boxscores (older than a week real time). The other day, I was so irritated, I just zipped the whole file up with all the boxes and logs and it worked fine. I don't want to keep posting a 14meg file and I've never run into this issue before while pruning...but this has happened 2 sims in a row.

Any ideas?

Thought I should add, I had the problem as well when I downloaded from a different computer. Even cleared my cache and everything. Also tried unzipping to a new league folder. Nothing works.

Are you sure that you zipped all the .dat files?

Was just about to post. Apparently, the league.dat file was not in the zip. I guess it was getting deleted somehow when I killed the boxes. Never happened before, maybe I changed a setting on winzip that reordered the files.

Thanks, all my stupidity.
