Ratings editor bug

Critic_of_the_DawnPosted on 08/28/03 at 06:27:14

Because of how tag team ratings are now recorded using the new style of ring entrances, the TNM Ratings Editor plugin will detect teams listed in the new way as obsolete and offer to delete them automatically for you.

Presumably it expects to find something like this:
Cruiser Kings
and when it instead finds something like this:
Cruiser Kings (Shoichi Funaki/Chavo Guerrero Jr.)
it doesn't see it in the Circuit Specific Tag Team database, comes to the conclusion that the team has disbanded, and offers to delete it in order to be helpful.

...

Except in a less anthropomorphized way. As I generally use this plugin to clean the makeshift teams out of my rankings, it came as a surprise when it autodetected and consequently eliminated (after I agreed because it didn't say which teams were the problem) my #1 and #5 (out of 5) rated teams.

So... yeah. That could use adjusting.

Oh, also, on an unrelated note, TNM has been freezing up on me a lot lately.  I play it in a window, you see.  It doesn't stop running, but it does stop updating the window.  This can be worked around by bringing up something else in front of it then minimizing it again, but that only updates the screen to the point in time when the minimization occurred, so I end up having to do it over and over again if I want to see anything.

Trying to switch to fullscreen mode once this happens causes windows to crash and automatically restart.

No error messages or anything like that.  Any ideas on what the problem is?

I suspect that it's probably related to my computer sucking, but I can't be sure.

Thanks for the info on the Ratings Editor. I just needed to recompile it (since the libraries used were updated over the past five years *g*).

It's been uploaded to the Downloads section.

And on the other front, the behaviour you described is definitely a Windows problem. There are a few dead giveaways but the key one is that your Windows freezes when switching to fullscreen. No DOS program could ever get Windows (post-95) to freeze..

Did you install any software recently that installs system hooks (anti-virus software, spyware detectors, personal firewalls etc)? That might be the place you should look if your Windows used to run well.

Thanks a bunch, Oliver.  Will the tag team ratings that have been removed come back if they have more matches, or will they start over at 0-0-0?

Let me think for a moment...  I usually have the Cnotes open in wordpad when it happens...  I've been opening the clock/calender from the toolbar to time the varying entrances (I give main eventers music more time, etc), and I've usually got Trillian open as well.  Winamp usually plays during matches and while I write up reactions to them and interviews...

My antivirus software (Norton) is old and in need of replacement (Probably 2000), so that's probably not it.  I run Spybot Search And Destroy once a week, but generally not during TNM sessions.  And I don't have a personal firewall.  The only thing I can think of remotely similar to any of that that I have is Panicware's Pop-Up Stopper version 2.6.  Any of that seem likely?
