Confusion about start_day_of_week

SSG Troyer · 06-11-2006, 12:29 AM

In the schedules that shipped with the game, there are two different phrases for this field.

In the year-by-year ML schedules, we see

... start_on_weekday="2" ...

Everywhere else (including the sticky above), we see

... start_day_of_week="2" ...

Are either/both correct?

start_day_of_week="2" is correct

The saving grace for the "major_league" year-by-year files is that specific historical start dates are already set to begin at a certain point on the calendar and the correct day of the week would be redundant information. If the file says to start on April 15, it is to start on April 15 and not for example the first Monday on or after that date.
