The location shouldn't make much difference.. especially if some are showing up and others are not. I just wanted to check if it was some unusually long file path or something. The default location shouldn't show this problem.

Again, I'll send you the link to the files tonight and hopefully that works it out.

thanks
David

I noticed this in the college wishbone playbook

there are a couple of offensive plays missing

My install is fairly recent, so it isnt from me tinkering around. I havent used that playbook

Hi Gary.

I think in the case you show, the play is no longer on disk. If you look to the right of the play list, you'll notice the information for the play selected has no play name, no formation name, and the PlayID is 0.

So I think this is a case of a playbook having a reference to a play, but the play is no longer on disk.

ok thanks forthe file,David.

I unzipped it where you told me but i'm still having problems because it created a "plays" sub folder in the "plays" folder.No changes .the players still do the same ..
I'm going to try to figure out whats going on later tonight.I figure I messed up somewhere when I unzipped.I actually have to go to work this morning so wont be able to post earlier than 6pm

Does this happen with all default playbooks, even the 8 man?

lurker, please try this...download the following file and unzip it into your plays folder.

Its the default 11 man books.....see if they still give you a problem

To quote James Kirk, "This is damn peculiar".

Can you please open the Plays folder in Windows Explorer, take a screen capture and either post it here or send it to me? I'd like to see that they're at least showing the correct filenames and sizes..

Gary, I sent lurker my full plays folder last night. So he should have all the stock play files for 2.1

thanks
David

My concern is if they are deleted from the actual playbook. Thats all I put in the zip, just the pbk files.

Several of the playbooks listed nonexistent plays. I know that it caused me some of the same problems lurker is having.
The game was still trying to use them.

I just deleted the entries from the playbooks of all the bad plays. Thought it may help some of the bunching up issues.

Hi.

Well I'm sorry you're running into this.. I really don't understand what is going on but I'm sure we'll figure it out.

There are a couple of things that would be helpful.

1. Can you please post or send me a screen capture of the folder you put the plays into. I'd like to at least check that the file names and sizes are what I would expect.

2. In the game folder there is a sub folder called debuglogs. Can you please zip up that whole folder and email it ro me (support@wintervalley.com) or send it to me via PM.

3. I may need to send you a special version of the main DLL and the game executable. It will take me a night or so to get that working (I have to setup my machine for the older build). This special build will be a debugging version of the game and it will generate a lot more information in the log files. Would you be willing to give that a try?

Again, I'm sorry you're running into this. When it's all said and done, it's probably going to be something pretty simple. Maybe a system setting I've not run into or something along those lines. If there is a bug in the game.. and it's certainly possible.. I'd like to have that cleaned up for V2.2 so others don't run into the same problem.

thanks again
David

Hi.

Lurker, I've PM'ed you a small application utility that I would ask you to run for me and send me back the results.

The instructions to use it are in the PM

thank you, and I hope I can get this sorted out for you as soon as possible.

thanks
David
