Bug report thread

[Gandalf]

Post your bug reports in this thread.

I know id3 had something to mention and wanted somewhere to post them. And no "it doesn't show how awesome by Necromantic team are" is not a bug. :p

I'm fairly sure Charles Darwin hasn't retired.

Some of the text has apostrophes not showing correctly (diamonds with ? in). Most likely it's a font/browser thing.

I'm fairly sure Charles Darwin hasn't retired.

Root cause is coding not dealing with uploading earlier games later - a later game of theirs was uploaded that did have Mr. Darwin in it, then an earlier game was uploaded which didn't which made BBDB think he was retired. It should look at the match dates and not run the "are you retired" code. Thanks for the example of this bug (which I thought existed) I will see what I can do about it. I can fix the symptom easily but fixing the root cause may take longer.

You should give an example like your first post

Fortunately I think I know where you mean. Unfortunately in trying to fix it (weird collation problem from the original source of that data) I have turned all apostrophes and dashes in the skill table into normal question marks. Doh! So I need to go through and manually amend them all behind the scenes.

I'm assuming you meant the skills sections and not elsewhere... let me know if you see it anywhere else and I'll look into.

The BBM records show that the Carrions have caused 59 Casualties but BBDB shows 56.

I'm guessing this is because not all matches have been uploaded so any retired / dead (and in this case there's not much difference) players' stats haven't been picked up.

Actually, no, BBDB is correct in this instance. The saved game files have a lot of total stats for the team. There is only one match uploaded for the Carrions, I checked it and it does indeed show you had 56 before that game, and caused 0 in that game, so it is correct to say a total of 56.

I suspect BBM has some games that were not "uploaded to cyanide" - ie there were connection issues but the game was uploaded to BBM anyway. Maybe there's some converse cases too - where you didn't upload it to BBM for some reason.

The figures BBDB has will match those on the cyanide server and I think that's the right thing to do.

Zara suffered a smashed knee but shows here as badly hurt (confirmed uploaded file correctly says smashed knee). Looks like BBDB doesn't cope with star player injuries well.

Black orcs should have MA 4 :-)

Looking good though.

I mentioned elsewhere that I found the bug that displayed MV4 as MV3. It's fixed so won't happen for any new data uploaded, but for the ones that are already there I need people to flag them up on a case-by-case basis really & I will fix them manually.

So thanks for the link, will get it sorted tonight.

Thanks for the effort, but it's not just the player types, it's the individual players too that need to get fixed...

[Raveen]

All the Chaos Dwaves and Tomb Guardians on the Rock-Knockers and Carrions.

The Zombies on Fistful of Boomstick (except Mia Allen for some reason).

Thom y-Orc from ELO.

[Gandalf]

Team value is taken directly from the client. However this means it is using the latest team value which may be affected by injury.

Instead, on team pages, the value of the teams should assume no injuries. On the match pages, the team value at the time of the match should be displayed.

[Raveen]

I think this is a Cyanide log issue but:

Game 97 hasn't recorded the Coach for the MarS Spiders. In BBM you have to insert the coach name sometimes so I'm guessing it's a known issue.

[Gandalf]

Not A Bug...

As far as I can tell there is no way to find the coach's name in the data the game produces. BBDB relies on me going into the data and manually linking the coach with the team (which I usually do in short order, but I'm slacking :p). Notice for example how when you upload a game to BBM it asks you for the names of the coaches, though it's usually pre-filled in (presumably becuase those teams have played each other before).
