TBL-Roster 5.0 - No club records?

Post by Viking »

When I start a new game with the TBL-Roster v. 5.0 and the start date patch (IE 2012), all NHL club records are viped out. Most number of goals or PIM a season, for example. Have I missed a file, or is it the editor? I have edited/added players, but not teams or leagues.

Apologies if I have missed something obvious here, but I did a search.

Sounds like something has gone wrong. I've just checked the v5.1 rosters and all of the usual NHL team records are present. The file can't be missing because you'd get an error when trying to create a new game.

If you go into the folder where you have your roster, what is the file size of your club_records.dat file? It should be about 678 kb.

Email your copy of your DB to me and I'll take a look. archibalduk AT gmail DOT com.

I started a game with 5.0 when it first came out and I had no team records either. :dunno: Never said anything cause it wasn't that much of a deal at the time and everyone was pretty busy with things around here anyway.

Same here. I havn't tried 5.1 yet, but it seems to be alright as the file Archi mentioned, is around 678 kb.

edit* Is it suppose to look like this? (5.1 roster) Further down its 7 more records, rest empty.

That's exactly how it should look. :thup:

The vast majority of records are blank at start up because there is nowhere in the DB to store this data. So it's not until you start simming though games and seasons in-game that you'll see those records being set. I've posted screenshots from a game I just created using the original unedited v3.0.4 DB by SI Games which shows all of the records that can be set via the DB. This shows exactly what should and shouldn't be blank. IIRC the only record editing we have done with the TBL Rosters is to update some of the NHL team records (I think that was for something like v4.2).

Just one small note: The database structure SI published has a mistake in it which means that when I wrote the editor to edit the player records, certain Name ID numbers were reversed. I thought this was a bug with EHM, but now I've just booted up the 3.0.4 vanilla rosters again, it seems the mistake lies in the database structure itself. I'll write a simple patch to fix the reversed name IDs (it is very easily fixed) at some point when I have the spare time. This will mean that for the following record categories, the names will appear incorrect (but the values remain correct):

* Most Assists
* Most Career Goals
* Most Career Assists
* Most Career Points

Here are the reference screenshots from the default/vanilla 3.0.4. DB. These will be useful for comparing with your copy of the DB to see if any records are missing (I checked the NHL league records and a couple of random NHL teams in v5.1 and all seemed fine):
