Trade text error

kroney37 · 04-03-2007, 01:25 PM

I was playing the demo (version 2.2.0.37) and I found this error in the manager news section:

"Big Swap in , Whitaker for Cone"

I'm using the Lahman database from 1993 - no other problem with team names.

What's your league format (how many conferences and subdivisions)? Have a hunch that there may be one conference (subleague). There were previous issues with news text that references a conference name, but if the league has one conference, it'd just be a blank in the text.

It's a historic setup as it was in 1993 - two leagues with two divisions (conferences?) each. All of the league/conference/divisions are properly named, so far as I can tell.

The problem was that in the text database, some of the subject lines in this category used a reference to "subleague," which is not a valid piece of data for these messages. (For instance, it wouldn't make any sense for a message to say "Big Trade in National League" for a deal that involved one player from the National League and one player from the American League.)

I'm pretty sure that's the reason why you saw no text displayed in this message--the program didn't have a value it could assign to the variable.

The problem affected seven messages in category 412. I fixed five of them by deleting them, because they didn't mention the names of the players involved. I fixed the other two by changing the variable to "league," which is a value the program recognizes for these messages.

These changes will be reflected in the new english.xml file that comes out with the patch.
