OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Various problems in the financials.txt file

The financials.txt file is really quite messed up. There are a couple of issues I've seen logged, but a couple I haven't. Here are issues I've seen:

1. The header row has lots of extra " marks all over, which screws up opening the file in Excel. (not logged)
2. The media contract numbers seem ridiculously low for every year. I mean, the game's default is $25 million, and in the financial.txt file it never gets past the $600K range. (not logged)
3. The 2009 line is missing cash maximum, which throws all the other values off (logged).

There may be other issues I haven't found. This file needs to be redone.
