Post TBCB 2013 issues here

[Cap]

I just noticed that several fighters pics have changed from what I had before. When I did an import at some point the game added a few thousand pictures I didn't want and overwrote some of mine, no idea how many. Now I have to go through them one at a time to replace the crappy pics with my good ones. (Jess Willard with a collar and tie!!!?)

Geez!

I'm running version 1.1, but I'm pretty sure I saw this in 1.0 as well. If there are an odd number of fighters in the auto-scheduler, it seems that fighters with a last name starting with 'Z' or a lowercase letter (like 'de Keersgieter') have fewer bouts scheduled. Possibly doing a random sort of all the available fighters before scheduling the bouts would help (if that's not being done already)? It could also be an index array selection issue somewhere along the line.

I hate to say this but I have noticed another issue. I have been running a card and began to notice that when using fighters who have no designated trainer assigned to them, fighter number 2 will always have the Generic Trainer assigned to him. For instance, if I am fighting Jeff Chandler (Fighter One) vs Lupe Pintor (Fighter Two) with neither fighter assigned a trainer, the computer will assign Chandler a name trainer while assigning Pintor the Generic Trainer. I have tested this a few times now and it happens 100% of the time. This is with version 1.1. I have not tried this with the original but I think I will reinstall the original TBCB 2013 and see if this holds true for that version as well.

Woops, my bad... typo, it's now fixed!

Its also the lyric in an Ant&Dec song..... Yes your right, the commentary text should have this line removed. Its better to be safe than sorry...

First, if you hit the F9 key the game will save a screen shot to your disk automatically without your desktop behind...

This is very confusing. The RCG popup shows v1.1 improvements, however the skin data is still v1.0! This should not happen. That frame should show the default RCG picture. Who was you RCG? Can you delete your "Default.bin" file in the skin folder "Documents/tbcb2013/data/skins/" to make the skin file refresh...

I don't know who Ant&Dec is [are], but I think the problem here would be in using the phrase in a boxing context. I have not noticed "get ready to rumble" in the commentary text, but it is on the button that you click to begin a tournament.

Maybe it should be "Protect yourselves at all times." or "Let's have a good clean fight." or simply, "Box!"

I am getting confused, I can't seem to find the text ahywhere.. can you send me a screenshot to help with my bad eyesight

Here is Ant&Dec, or their stage names at the time PJ and Duncan.. They have become household names in England for the presenting skills on "I'am a celebrity", "Britains Got talent" and "X-Factor"
PJ & Duncan AKA - "Let's Get Ready To Rhumble" - YouTube

I agree we need to change this as it not worth running the risk, however "Lets rumble", "Having a rumble" etc are common slang used in the North of England to mean a fight. I doubt the copyright would be enforceable in UK courts, which is of course the games durisdiction. Its kinda like trying to copyright the phase, "Hell Yeah!"... or "Thats gotta hurt!"

Can you send the screenshot to someone@pisd.co.uk and I will change it, after all we don't want to upset anyone..

[Antonin]

Look--you wanted to be informed about important issues. Copyright is a very important issue, and like everyone here, I am bringing various things to your attention because I am trying to help.

Software is an extremely complex animal, and you need as many eyeballs as possible to help you make this product as polished as it can be. There is a lot of good will out here among us aging TBCB fans. We want you to be successful so that you can get at least some compensation for your hard work.

But as the young people say, "whatever." I'm sorry I bothered you.

I think you misunderstood, I am very thankful you pointed this out... I would always rather you guys said something than keep quiet when you think something is wrong. I will ask Aurelio to address these graphical issues now you have pointed them out to me... Thank you for your help here...

In my last post I simply tried to reassure/explain my understanding of the legal point of view. It never was, nor never is my attention to offend... Please keep the observations coming, that are greatly received...

[Cap]

Have to agree here. Judging by the cheering and applause, even in Europe, when Michael Buffer starts his "Let's get Ready...", it is a universally recognized tagline. "Let's rumble!" used to be common in North America when street toughs had grease in their hair, wore leather jackets and used switch-blade knives instead of glocks. Just to be on the safe side I'd get rid of the tired Get Ready to Rumble line. Why not "Box On!" or "Come Out Fighing!"?

As for the other, I'd get rid of that poster and replace it with a replica of an old time fight poster of which there are numerous examples to inspire.

The game will still load fine the next time but I get this error message but (and here's the curious part, to me anyway) it only happens when I click on certain fighters like Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles for example. Other fighters I can double click on them fine, like for example Floyd Patterson and Jersey Joe Walcott.

This is now fixed in version 1.1 so thank you Paul

This is with version 1.2 in Linux.

Boxers with a last name starting with a letter at the end of the alphabet or with a lowercase letter do not have as many matches scheduled as other fighters. I've noticed this when there are an odd number of fighters.

first, for example you have Mayweather as a welterweight.

and i assign to him the WBA Super Welterweight title.
the problem comes that the title of the bellt said WBA WELTERWEIGHT Champion instead of WBA Super Welterweight

Sample:

In V.1.2 this still happening

This bug is driving me nuts... I have looked for it 3-4 times already.. Try as I might I have never got it to repeat... I see in your red corner you have the same fighter, I have not tried that... here I go again...

I ran autoscheduler with 999 bouts, it seemed to run them, but kept stopping because something was missing (See error message).

[javier_83]

Hi Paul!

I found another minor issue, i am in the Autoscheduler screen, and i go from there the the fighters table, if i click back from the fighter table i go back to the menu, instead of returning to the Autoscheduler screen.

Regards!!
