Players with no teams for extra_config

Post by zbguy »

I'm trying to prevent free agents in my database from retiring prematurely. Setting their retirement date in extra_config past the season prevents players on teams from retiring too early, but free agents are unaffected. I guess leaving the team field as empty (or "") does nothing. What do I put in there so that extra_config recognizes them?

Did you try using "[None]"?

That's how the values are saved in the editor.

That's an Editor specific command and won't work in the extra_config. xECK29x might know the answer however.

I have never figured out how to enter extra_config entries for UFAs either unfortunately, I'm not sure what the game uses for "Free Agent", and with the known buggy code with the extra_config parsing in 1.4.1 as is you will get a lot of crashing if it isn't proper.

This is something we would need to ask Riz directly.
