Title: Weird bug in filter "PlayedCount not_contains 0"
Post by: eldiau on January 26, 2020, 02:24:55 PM

I found a very weird bug confirmed on both v2.6.0 and v2.4.1 on linux.
I have a filter:

        filter               Played
                sort_by              PlayedTime
                reverse_order        true
                rule                 PlayedCount not_contains 0

when a game is played exactly 150 times, the next time attract mode is run it doesn't appear in the list anymore, if I edit the .stat file and set the played count to 149 or 151 it is listed again.

Looks like the filter is working exactly how it should.

Maybe you want "not_equals" because a lot of numbers contain 0.

10
20
30
40
50

Good eye on seeing this issue.

I saw the problem pretty quickly once you presented it. The post made me curious and I looked at the WIKI that had the same wrong rule (which I have since updated). My guess is a lot of people are using this flawed rule and don't even know it. It's kind of a big issue when you consider that 10% of numbers contain a 0.

I see, "not_contains" is quite self explanatory if you actually read it!
I blindly copied the filter from the wiki, the cut and paste joy!
Sorry I posted it as a an attract mode bug!

Thanks for helping out!
