Set "File Area to Search" to "Games"
Set "Search Keywords" to "n2pts1_2"
If you have trouble searching (it may take several hours for the new
file to make the search listing), then just List All Files (it was
uploaded tonight Mar 29).
Here is what is new/fixed:
* Version 1.1 - Bug Fixes:
- The driver list did not add drivers properly. It
appears that drivers are listed multiple times when
using more than one .STN file
When I looked for a driver name, I allowed too many
characters to be searched and ran into the Laps Run
field by one character. I fixed it by shortening
the driver name character allowance.
This is why this bug was there:
I do an exact search to differentiate between drivers.
Therefore, "Jeff Gordon" is different from "Jeff Gordon".
If you look at the charts, you will see something like:
Driver Starts Percent
-------------------------------------------------
Jeff Gordon 1 1 100
Jeff Gordon 3 1 100
Jeff Gordon 1 100
Well, those extra numbers in the middle of the chart are
NOT supposed to be there. They are saying that the
driver is:
"Jeff Gordon 1"
"Jeff Gordon 3"
"Jeff Gordon "
This would be 3 different drivers to me. I just search
for less characters now so I do not run into the Laps Run
field, which is where this additional number came from in
the driver name.
- When moving the charts up and down for Bonus Points and
Laps Led the drivers listed were scrambled and most
drivers are listed many, many times.
This was caused by having the sorter not clear data
before resorting. This allowed the list to sort amongst
a new list multiple times scrambling the order and
listing drivers out of order.
Fixed by clearing data before sorting list.
- If the driver listings went over 99 then drivers would be
listed with a % sign in front of the number (eg %100).
This also caused the remainder of the chart to shift over
and become scrambled.
Fixed by allowing more room for Driver Numbers.
- New Features:
- I added a Best, Avg and Worst column to Start and
Finish Position charts. I renamed them from Avg
Start to Start Pos and from Avg Finish to Finish Pos.
- I added a Starts column to the DNF chart. This was
because the Percentage of DNFs is based off of the number
of races the driver competed in and not the number of
races in a season. Therefore, the Percent column might
have one driver with 1 DNF at 20%, but another driver
with 1 DNF at 100%. I only included this so I wouldn't
get bug reports of bad math. ;)
- I removed the "Total Races" entry from the Save All
file SUMMARY.TXT. I used to put this at the top of
each chart, but now I only put it at the top of the
file once and remove the others to make the chart
look cleaner.
