CSV Retired Players Issue

landru22 · 03-30-2020, 09:19 PM

I'm not sure, but I may have mentioned this some time ago. In case I didn't here is the issue:

When a season advances to July 1 and you create new CSV files, the retired players stats will go to their respective files for skaters or goalies. Unfortunately, there is no longer a reference that I can find that corresponds to their name. Their PID's are preserved in the retired files, but their names and PID's are no longer in the player_master file. There is no player_master_retired file to look up the name either.

I think that may be a result of the way retired player ID's are handled in the game, but I'll check and see if there's any way we can keep them in the master file after the player retires.

I know ih FHM4 that retired players would get a new PID and their bio info was moved into a player_retired_bio file (or something like that). Maybe we need a player_retired_master file.

We're going to add them to the regular master file, with a new column added to that one to mark retired status.
