Guest Referee Problem (more of a warning really)

rptDX316Posted on 07/06/03 at 15:41:33

On two consecutive cards, I tried to run a Ken Shamrock versus Rob Van Dam match, with X-Pac as the special guest referee.  However, every time that it came time for this match to happen, TNM would close itself and the match could not be run.

After various testing, I discovered that the game will crash if you use a dash in the name of a referee (i.e.: if your referee is X-Pac or Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, it crashes, but X Pac or Stephanie McMahon Helmlsey is acceptable).

Just thought I'd post this, more as a warning and explanation to those who have experienced this, and might be wondering why.  Sorry if it was already common knowledge.

Thank you very much. This bug has gone unreported for six years now *g*

It'll be fixed in TNM 7 Second Edition.

Cool.  Now the dreams of those who want to see 8-Ball, A-Train or D-Von Dudley donning the stripes can finally be fulfilled!  ;)

I actually found that one a few days back when I was simulating Oliver's wedding, but I didn't identify why it happened.  Having Friar Ferguson referee the wedding worked fine, but Reverend D-Von gave me an error 5.  Guess that's why.   ;D
