Fixed.
"but" is better.
Thanks for posting the error.

I also noticed the story did not say which team Moreno played for. I added it in.

in the PBP ... "What a great catch my Dwyer"

My first guess was that it should be "by Dwyer" I am guessing you could just do a search for "my" and find it.

Then I thought about it and it could be used like 'my oh my' in which case maybe separating it into 2 phrases (maybe with !! after catch and player's name) so it seems like 2 different statements by the announcer.

I did a search for "my" and it did not give any PBP objects.

Maybe it has been fixed by tysok.

What position did Dwyer play? Maybe I can scan all of the flyballs lines for that position.

He played RF.

Also had this one on ID 332:

"The Chicago Cubs were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's 7-7 loss at St. Louis at Wrigley Field." (game went into extra innings and lost 9-7).

I'll check all of the PBP for the Dwyer problem.

This second problem has shown up earlier and was reported. Markus has to fix it. The Text Database is correct and has no token error.

I'll report it again.

Where was the "7-7 loss"?
Was it in a news story?
Was it a suspension story?
That would be helpful to know.

Eugene Church · 08-02-2008, 03:09 PM

I only found one place in the PBP that said, "what a great by [%game fielder]".

And it was correct. The word "my" was not in it.

I checked the "difficult catch" and "very difficult catch" categories.

Maybe it was "my" and tysok or pstrickert corrected it.

I also checked the "normal catch" category, too.

I'm sorry, I don't see this in the Text Database.

I don't see a Transactions category.

I'll check with pstrickert and see if he knows where this type of message can be found.

Caught this one, a news story error...not sure if it's been reported previously. Version 9.1.2 (Windows).

I have the Expanded Roster Size rule disabled, yet there is a news story on September 1st referring to expanded rosters ("Today the active roster capacity rises to 0"). Screen shot below.

Cork55 · 08-03-2008, 04:02 PM

Got another one for you Eugene. Since each team had a player suspended, the word two should be changed to "one of their players" or something along those lines.

Fixed.

I checked the Text Database and the token is correct.

For whatever reason, it didn't convert to the proper number...or...

Since you disabled Expanded Roster, maybe that is why it is giving a zero.

Looks like there shouldn't be a news story, if you disabled it.

I will BZ this in Bugzilla.

Thanks for posting.

Any chance of getting an updated text file soon?

Vinny P. · 08-04-2008, 12:16 AM

Found this in the Online Manual:

Commissioner Portal

 The Commish Portal menu option only appears in the Manager Menu only when the game is in online mode, and the current user is the commissioner. The in the section of the online manual dealing with online leagues.

The last sentence makes no sense lol.

Do errors in scouting recaps belong in a separate area?

I don't have access to the game manual.

But I will give the error to battists.

Thanks for posting it.

I was not involved in the Scouting writing as I know nothing about scouting terminology.

I think RBLwebguy might be the one who takes cares of Scouting.

Send him a PM.

Actually you caused the error, if you named your award categories.

You should always include the word "Award" in all of the Award categories for it to work well with the News.

Check your entries and I think you will see that you only included "Golden Gloves". This caused the News story to be "Golden Glovess". An "s" was added in the News template to make "Award" plural.

If you had put "Golden Glove Award", it would have read "Golden Glove Awards".

I took the "single s" out of the Headlines, so yours will now read "Golden Gloves Winners".

Or if you change it to "Golden Glove Award", it will be "Golden Glove Award Winners".

Ahh okay.

thanks
