Database error

Postby mervie16 on Sun Jul 06, 2014 11:11 pm

guys help me please, i can't play my dynasty because may database have a problem, particularly the workingdb. I created two roster. One with 57 teams and the other with 55 teams. The one with 55 teams is working on dynasty but the other one is not. When I load the roster with 57 teams and try to play dynasty it crashes, it shows a log of player.dbf error and null input. I checked the originaldb, currentdb and the workingdb. The originaldb and currentdb have the same players like those on the roster with 57 teams. But the workingdb is not, the players.dbf in the workingdb is totally different on the roster's players.dbf.

Can anyone tell what's the problem? Please help me :(

Not sure if I remember to well, but I think you can delete the workingdb. I believe that is used when you are in dynasty mode. Database errors happen, and deleting the db folders usually clears them up as long as there is nothing wrong with the rosters themselves.

I hope somebody can help us with this problem. I don't know what seems to be the problem with the workingdb. It ruins our dynasty game men. :( We badly need help :bowdown: :bowdown2: :crazyeyes:

As Pdub said, clearing the workingdb folder is generally the first port of call.

If your 55 team roster is working, and your 57 roster is just an extension of that, then I would suggest you look at the two added teams and make sure everything is set up properly and not conflicting with the other teams.

Invalid values, duplicate values in fields that must have unique values, and so on. Basically, if the 57 team roster isn't working, look for a problem with those extra two teams.

What you could do is make a copy of that roster, then edit one of the teams to match the values of a team that isworking. Iff it still crashes, then it is probably the other team by deduction.

There's something that I remebered, may be it has something to do with this. When I've finished the roster with 55 teams. I reset the rosters. But I didn't save it. After I reset the roster, I loaded again the roster with 55 teams. Then close the game. Copy the roster with 55 teams and renamed it. I added 2 teams to that renamed roster, add 30 players on that roster. Does reseting the roster had something to do with this stuff?? :crazyeyes:

It shouldn't matter since you loaded the other roster after that.

I've found some light on this problem. I used the 57 team roster. I played Dynasty mode. At first it crashed. Then I checked the teams' roster. Some teams have 16+ man pool. I made adjustments on the roster and made each team have only 15 players. It worked somehow. I hope this is the only problem in our roster, but so far, that's what made my roster file work.

Yes, having more than 15 players on the roster will certainly cause problems in Dynasty Mode.

Sir andrew, does the dynasty automatically add players on the game? Because when my dynasty crashed (even there's only 15 players per team) I looked looked for the players.dbf of my dynasty, I found new players on it, 90 players are added on generic rookie pool. And the players of the team that I selected to play with is doubled. Their playerid started at 4000 to 4014, and their team is in the Legend pool. I'm so confused now :crazyeyes:

It generates rookies, but it doesn't add players to the 30 NBA teams.

so the 90 added players are generated rookies.
Then what is the use of the doubled players on the team that I chose to plat with???

You aren't using the free agent pool team ID for a team are you? That's the only thing I can think of that could cause duplicate players.

Ah, there are duplicates added to the database for players on the team you're controlling. These are used for the development comparison screen between seasons. They should appear at the bottom of the database in a saved Dynasty game.

It's been a while since I edited a Dynasty save so I may be incorrect about their placement, but like I said, duplicates of the players on your team are added to the database for the development comparison screen that's seen between seasons. Those and the generated rookies are the only players that the game would add to the database.
