[Rails-devel] Problem to start new games

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik or Brett:
On testing I realized that currently for some games/variants a new game cannot 
be started:

1830 coalfields does not work 
(Null pointer exception in Game class), 
however 1830 base does work.

1889 does not work
(Configruation error: Invalid quantity 0 for train cert type 6 in 
TrainCertificateClass).

1856, 18EU seems to work.

However loading either an older 1830 coalfields or 1889 save file still works.

Another strange thing:
The  Available Games dropdown shows next to each game instead of the game 
status the same label "Notes".

I am pretty sure that neither of this was caused by my work, do you have an 
ideas what happened there?

Something is wrong with passing on the game options selected (or not) in
GameSetupWindow.  
If Options is expanded and a variant (such as Coalfields) is selected, the
log shows:

2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to Coalfields
(GameSetupWindow startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to Highlight
(GameSetupWindow startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to Suggest  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to no  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to no  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to no  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option UnlimitedTopTrains_D set to no
(GameSetupWindow startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to no  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to no  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to no  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to PRR  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477) 
2011-07-09 14:44:17 INFO   Game option null set to yes  (GameSetupWindow
startNewGame 477)

and it's these null names that cause the crash.  If I code the null names to
be ignored, the base game starts, rather than Coalfields.

Not sure why this happens, but something related to options must have
changed recently.

Erik.
