While I was standing on the toilet changing a lightbulb, I fell off and hit my head. That is how I came up with the ideal of the Flux Capacitor.

At the same time, I thought of this baby.

http://www.planetootp.com/AULineup/default.htm

It goes through every game and displays the starting lineup for your team for each game along with the game result.

So, game one, you can see who batted 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. and also see if you won the game or not.

Then I can do some math and report:

With Willie Mays batting 4th, the team is 22-4.
With Willie Mays batting 8th, the team is 1-6.
etc.

I can also report how many different lineups the team had thoughout the year, what was the most popular and the records of the lineups.

Cool stuff.

Here is a peek a boo at it. Note: Still working out the code for the 7th, 8th and 9th batter, so some of that information shown is incorrect. (I need a football break).

[Comedian2004]

Here is a new screenshot:

Notice how this team after a full season had 42 unique lineups. This was an old team I had drafted and then cloned the league and let the computer run a couple years. Most of my original team is still there. They did trade Hacker for Al Smith though.

The top grid is the 'most popular' lineup. Per say, Willie Mays was used in the 3rd position the most, Al Smith batted cleanup the most, etc.

This was a NON DH league. It gets complicated to see if a game is a DH game or not, as I would have to look into another file to get that information. I may do that anyhow, as that contains some other information I would like to get, like the date of the game.

This routine is actually examining the CSV dump for the pbp game and figuring out who batted 1st, 2nd, etc. It was a real humdinger to write that routine!!

I have to smooth a couple things out, then I want to add a few more things before I release it.

Hope to have this released tonight, but working on a major website now. Only 150 more pages to design! Thank you COPY and PASTE!

I have a bug in this program that causes some teams to loop. It is a very tricky routine, as I am searching the PBP for the at bats, where it screwed up earlier was when a batter is announced to bat, but did not get to bat. (runner caught stealing, picked off). I solved that, but have to track down why it loops on a couple teams. I also have to have it remove the spring training games.

this is a pretty cool idea

AULineup is here...

Let me know how it works for you.

http://www.planetootp.com/AULineup/default.htm

To use, select your league, then the team and hit START. In a couple of seconds, it will display a screen full of data. Wait for it to finish and then you can scroll down and look at the rest of the games.

I added the date of the game, colored the game score with light green if the team won, light pink if the team lost. You can also sort by any column and switch teams without having to reload. If you change leagues, it will automatically restart the application.

Enjoy...

Now back to work on AURemovethoseDAMN jumpingBananas program.

[Raidergoo]

Here's the flaw . . .

I cannot highlight all the data then right click.

One thing I noticed during testing the 1965 Reds is that the lineups used by the AI matched decently with http://www.baseball-reference.com/te.../1965_bo.shtml


Sisler:

Harper
Rose
Pinson
Robinson
Coleman
Johnson
Edwards
Cardenas

AI:

Harper
Coleman
Pinson
Robinson
Tommy Agee
Rose
Cardenas
Edwards

[Comedian2004]

Nope, it uses a grid.. I will see if I can write a copy to clipboard routine though.

Pretty display?

[Comedian2004]

You can now. Right click on the top grid and select copy.

It will copy the team name and the most popular lineup to the clipboard.

I also added a new field that is displayed. It shows the starting pitchers ARM for the other team. (Not a picture of his arm, but if he was a Leftie or Rightie.)

I also color coded the arms to make that visual a little better. I also added color coding to 'most popular player in that slot'.

This has to be one of the most colorful programs.

[Raidergoo]

Oh, my! I knew you'd deliver!

Would you like a ridiculous challenge?


Export the data as HTML, and make it look like

http://www.baseball-reference.com/te.../1965_bo.shtml

especially the Most Common Lineups section. . .

The use of color is very nice touch, almost completly right. A note somewhere in the app needs to explain the usage of the colors, though.


EDITED TO ELIMINATE A BONEHEADED MISTAKE

Now I know why I donated a few duckets to you, You have enhanced the playability of this game, Thank you again for all the hard work and for all of you who use these programs please donate a few of your duckets to keep up these great programs

[Comedian2004]

Come on, challenge me...

1st, the link you showed, displayed game by game POSITION, not the batting order. That would be a different program.

So, I went ahead and duplicated the thing anyhow. Mine shows the game by game result, with the starting lineup. Wins by the team are still highlighted, the most popular player is also highlighted.

Here is a sample output:

http://www.planetootp.com/1963%20New...es_lineup.html

NOTE: The player links are not correct at this time. I will add them later.

I will also put at the top the number of unique lineups and the most popular lineups.

Trying to figure out a unique lineup was tricky. At first, I thought if I used a formula, like (ID*1) + (ID*2), etc. where the 2 is their position in the lineup, it would give me a unique number for each lineup. But, if playerID 3 batted 2nd and player ID 2 batted 3rd and they were swapped, the number would be the same.

So, I came up with this way:

LU(x) = JOESMITH-BILLWALKER-JIMJONES...

That gives me a unique string for each lineup and then I tallied them up. Now, to get the top 5 popular lineups, I have to backwards engineer the string, which may not be too hard.

Watch for another update late this evening, or earlier if I get bored in web designing.

[Raidergoo]

Look at the bottom of the page.


EDIT

This post has been significantly edited from the original to correct errors on my part. It now has the correct PDF file.

What I really wanted to point out was http://www.baseball-reference.com/te.../1965_bo.shtml

It is significantly different than my original link.

[Comedian2004]

Ah, well, my end result is very close to what you had wanted to post. Only thing missing is the positions. Not sure if I can add that though, as that information is not contained in the file I am looking at for the lineup.

Mine is prettier too.

[Klew1986]

It's not working for me. It just stays on the screen where it says like loading or whatever. I select the team, then an error message comes up that says

"Unhandled exceptiong has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continute. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Index was outsie the bounds of the array."

What should I do?

[Comedian2004]

Let me add some more error trapping later on and see if we can see what the problem is.

Make sure that your CSV dump is uptodate. If you sim any games AFTER you do the dump, it will error for sure.

[robster1225]

man, I want to try this in a couple of my online leagues. To bad I can't do a CSV Dump for them.

oh well...

[Comedian2004]

Maybe talk your commish into doing it for you.

[Comedian2004]

I added something that may help us.

Before you select a team, click on FILE and select DEBUG and then select a team and click start.

It will run a little slower and you will see a number flashing up in the status area. Note what the number is when it locks up or errors. This should be the game that it is working on.

Then look in this folder (change your to your league)

C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\OOTP Baseball 2006\data\saved_games\1950A.lg\news\txt\leagues

Attach the log_#.txt file as an attachment here and I will take a look and see what the problem is. It could be something bizaare that happened that game.
