BZ 3537 : Re-Importing Names.txt Files
Please, please, please fix this!
I've read that someone said someone said it was fixed , but I can't find where someone actually SAYS it was fixed (and it's NOT fixed). I also found a thread closed for being a duplicate thread, but I can't find the original thread...... Anyhow, if you import a new names.txt and/or first_names.txt file, weird things happen like 400 players named Bubba and no one named Jim and such silliness. This is a HUGE thing to me and I implore you, Mr. Markus, to re-examine this issue! Thanks. |

Would that someone would say this is being addressed or made into a BZ at least?

Edit: I know you laid it out plain and simple in the OP, but can you point me to some other discussion that entail even other circumstances, etc... Thanks in advance. Thanks in advance.

His reported problems are all things I have witnessed with my own two eyes.... http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ight=names.txt http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ight=names.txt PS. I have created, as you may or may not know, an alternative set of names to be used for OOTP. I get many messages from people complaining about misspelled names and Names that they think I should have not included in a set and in every case so far the offending names are NOT from my set. For example, I went to great pains to eliminate all the special characters from the name sets I edited, but names with special characters still sometimes appear after re-importing the name files. And as the poster in the above links, I can find no rhyme or reason to the quirks. Every time they seem to be something new, as if they were some kind of mutating virus trying to reinvent itself to avoid detection..... EDIT: I should mention that this only happens when using the "Re-Import Names and Ethnicity Database" Function under league set up. If I change the file manually and begin a new game with the altered file in place, there doesn't seem to be an issue. Last edited by Questdog; 08-31-2009 at 06:43 PM. Reason: More info |

Thanks for the responses, Q. As I was unable to turn up original research on this item, I have logged a new BZ with a severity indicative of your dilemma. BZ#3537
