What things cause errors in the schedule?
Apart from what's written in the manual. I know a few of them but I was wondering if experienced modders could add the ones they know about, to compile all that information in one place?
The one's I know:
If your editing on a Mac, use a text editor that allows you to change the line ending to Windows format. I use Brackets, which is an open-source one.
Your race name in the schedule file must match the feature race file exactly.
The maximum amount per day is 3 meetings, with 8 races max each
Prep race spelling must match the feature race file and the schedule file.
Race names can't be more than 32 characters maximum
There can't be spaces at the end of the lines in the files, which you can find easily by using a text editor, like Brackets, and choosing "Show Whitespace".
As an added aside, I really recommend using a text editor like Brackets, because it will highlight errors if it can. While editing the featureRace file, if you put the text editor on XML mode, it will show if one of your brackets <> aren't closed properly. Plus it can be set to automatically generate the closing bracket, which helps.
At the moment, I'm motivated by trying to debug a schedule that's crashing to desktop without an error message, but it could help new modders if it was all in one place as well.
