Apparently the batters in my league are quite prolific. According to your most excellent program (must find money to donate, as should everyone else!) I had 5 instances of more than 11 runs scored in an inning (4 12s and a 13! ) Of course, they were all in either the minors or spring training.


Speaking of which, is there any way to have the minor league team name show up instead of the parent major league club in game mentions like those (runs in an inning)? And yes, I do have the No Minors History checked adn Top Level only checked

[pstrickert]

I suppose there's no way to replace "In Game #1094 . . ." with the date of the game, is there? Likewise, is it possible to identify the team for which the player of note plays? Instead of "Joe Camel blah blah blah . . " it would read "San Jose's Joe Camel blah blah blah . . ."

Well, you answered my question about the more than 11 runs in an inning.

The minor league team should be being displayed, as it looks it up in the teams.csv file. It is really, really, really, really early in the morning here. (9am), so my brain is not awake yet, but I will check. It is possible that I am not doing a minor league check there, so I will check and see.

As far as the In Game #1094 (wow, I had one of those also), The reason I am putting in the #, in that format, #1094, is if you click on the line in my program, it will take you to the box score and let you see it. Of course, you have to have box scores saved turned on in OOTP. I will add more information to those lines showing the date. If you use the CHECK DUMPS option, those links will not work. I will add that, as I save all box scores, like you should do!

I put the date in others where I do not have the box score number so that you can go look at it. In those cases, I would have to load in another file and look up that game. I could actually do that when you click on the link, but if I had it do it when it found it, then it would slow down the program.

Now that I think about it, I read that file in earlier, so I guess I could actually read it into memory in an array for later use by my program. You are making my brain think early.

I get started on a program and I have a hard time calling the program done. I keep adding stuff and fine tuning it. I am having so much fun with this one, that I keep adding more and more stuff.

To me it is so interesting to look at the file after I AUTOSIM 5 or 6 months and see stuff that I would have never knew happened. Like:

The biggest win this year was 20 runs.
A pitcher throwing 10 walks or hitting 3 batters.
A 23 inning game.
A 15 hit shutout.
A batter walking 5 times. It don't happen very often. I see Gehrig and Schulte doing it in mine.
Less Bell hitting 3 triples in one game.
Seeing games with 11 run innings and clicking on it and seeing that the team came back from 7-0 to win with 11 in the last of the ninth.

I am also noticing that I and others use the program different for different leagues. I play historical now, so I may autosim 10-40 years, hop in and play out a year for a team. It is nice to have the dumps option on and see something that happened during those years. It is even better when I can view that box score. Now if I was playing a fictional league with full minor leagues, I would want to see the games where it happened in the minors. I see some minor league hitters name a lot of there getting 5 hit games or winning the MVP, I may want to go peek at this guy and make a trade for him. But that is me.

I am going back to sleep.

I am getting an error that says:

"Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click to continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit the application will close immediately.

Value cannot be null
Parameter name: oldvalue"

If I click continue it remains on "Checking out 2969 player's history files...."

This happens almost immediately after clicking the start button, and it is the first time using the program... may just be I have the wrong file selected or something.

[dlevei01]

I had that same problem. You are likely going to the wrong folder for your path. Go to just the league folder, not the import/export folder. That fixed it for me. If I'm wrong, hey, what do I know....

[Comedian2004]

Program was updated a few minutes ago.

Updated interface with easier to follow layout. Drop down menu for some items.

New special team trivia added - Month by Month w/l breakdown

Really cool option:

A teams record when a certain pitcher is starting:

So, if Vida Blue's team is 24-2 when HE started, this would be displayed, if the option was set for 20+ wins, as the default is.

Also shows pitchers record if their team loses 20+ games when he has started.

Really wish OOTP showed this. This is a very valueable stat.

I also debugged the most runs in an inning. I got very confused with that code. It now shows that Boston scored 11 runs in the 1st inning, Boston beat Chicago 12-3.

Makes it easier to find a game where a team scored 11 runs in one inning and lost. Note, the links work on that, if you wisely save box scores.

I know sometimes it says: Boston beat Chicago 2-21, and it should be 21-2. So what. Sue me.

Question...I did my csv dump and opened the program, I like the new interface. I heck all the things that i do not want the game to show and one of those is injuries. I run the program and check all the entries and there are career ending injuries still listed. I also choose to save my settings. Reopen the program and all the settings are saved except one and that is injuries so I have to recheck that box...I would also like the team that i am picking as a special team to be saved until I choose to change it

[Comedian2004]

OK, the CEI are being displayed from the history file. I will add an option for CEI.

As far as saving the options, every time I add an option, I have to add them to the save and load option. So, I do not update this option often. I will update it next time.

I think I have an error with the pitchers team thing, I have to double check it.

[targy]

I ran the program and have all awards shut off and no minors. I just checked the entries and it showed minor league teams that have scored a certain amount of runs in an inning and a few entries for awards

[targy]

Another one, have injuries check to ignore and I started the game and got a CEI

[Comedian2004]

The minor league teams scoring the runs. That may be tricky to limit, as the file that contains a zero or a one for the team name. Which, I thnk it home/away. It use to house the team number. Now I will have to look it up in the games.csv file, just not sure if it is doable.

The minor leagues awards. I will look at that. I know I can block the CEI though.

[Comedian2004]

I fixed the CEI thing, those should not show up if you are telling it to ignore injuries.

I will look at the minor league awards later this week. I have to create a league with some history that has a minor league.

below is an error i get after it reads players and begins gathering team info. i click continue and if ran about 30 mins seemingly doing nothing. any advice?


this program looks awesome!!

*edit-reread post 59

it errors on getting game information, let me know if you need more info.
thanks

[Comedian2004]

Click the debug check mark and run it and let me know where it is when it errors.

Clicking continue at that point just aborts it.

[biggamejrs]

getting game information

[Comedian2004]

If you hit the debug before you ran it, it would tell you more information on what section of the game information you are getting.

Did the program work before? If so, what month are you in?

[dlevei01]

Don't worry, I'm talking the baseball kind.
The News York Giants committed 5 errors in BOTH games of a doubleheader.

That's the fun and odd stuff that your wonderful program finds!

Amyone up for fielding practice?

And as a Tigers fan, defaulting to the times the Yankees have been shut out is pure inpsired genius

[orwell]

This is an excellent program. Thanks for putting so much time into it.

With the latest update, a new error has appeared when I run it. It processes the players ok but it starts to gather games information an "unhandled exception error" occurs (index outside bounds of the array.

Thanks.

[Comedian2004]

Try it again after and note the ID number of the error. You can now see an option to disable that ID part of the program. If you turn debug on, I would have a better understanding what part you mean.

Orwell reports: gathers games information

I don't use that phrase. I use compliling games and also getting game information.

Let me know the date of your sim, i.e. June 4th, 2004

Very important is to know the date of the sim. Is it before preseason? There may be a problem if you run it after the preseason starts and before the start of the season. OOTP does not wipe out the box scores and some other files. And the CSV files are not in sync yet. So weird things happen. The best time to run the program for solo play where you play the games out would be around November. Make it compile around 500 or so and then you are set for playing and simming until maybe around the all-star game, or even as early as May. Then you run it again. But maybe changing it so that it does not display as much as before. Tweak it.

It has to be tweaked for the way that you play the game. Hopefully I gave you enough options to tweak until the cows come home.

[biggamejrs]

I got mine to work by just hitting the merge button. I didnt see what player it errored on tho.
My league date is May 29, 2009.

Also, did you get my donation yesterday?
