Online Utilities (OU) for OOTP 13

Anyone know any tricks or have detailed instructions on how to set this up?

Yeah, the Live Sim broke during the upgrade to OOTP 14. I actually have it fixed for my league, but will release a formal patch in the coming days with some additional fixes. Namely, I'm going to take a stab at a quick-fix to reduce the development memory some, in the hopes it resolves some league's issues with that. If it doesn't, I'll have to do a rewrite which I would not enjoy at all.

Actually, this probably isn't a memory issue, as updating the dev links is not memory intensive at all, just time intensive. If a process takes over 5 minutes, you'll get a time out from the browser (webservers usually default to 5 minutes, but some differ). However, in many cases the process is still running on the server past the 5 minutes and will complete normally, even though you don't see it saying so in your browser.

Basically, you likely will see development links on all or most of your HTML files, and can safely ignore the error.

Could we add the Rule 5 Draft to OOTPOU?

Does OOTP allow it to be imported? Would be a lot of work, honestly, it's completely different than the normal draft.

Also, FYI, updates are being delayed since the server I do work on for some reason isn't letting me SSH to it anymore. Trying to get it sorted out, but I can't work on OU until it is fixed

Version 6.0.4 Released! Sorry it took some time, took a while to be able to get into my server. As usual, just unzip the file OOTPOU.zip into your cg-bin directory.


Patch notes:

- Fixed the Live Sim feature
- Fixed the Development Links
- Significantly reduced the amount of memory required by the Development and Last Sim utilities
- Fixed the VORP columns on the Allstar, Awards, HoF and Stats utilities
- Added the WAR column to the Allstar, Awards, HoF and Stats utilities
- Added an Auto Complete button to the draft, that will automatically complete the rest of the draft (using GM's draft lists, if possible)
- Fixed the icons in the Draft Admin screen in certain setups of OU
- Added CG and SO to the Stats utility

For those leagues that were hitting the memory limit on the Dev/Last Sim utility, let me know if this fixes the issue or if you still see problems. In my tests, it looked as if memory usage was reduced by ~60%.

I'm in middle of a draft in ootpou but I'd love to update to latest version is it wise to upgrade now? Wanna use that auto complete feature on Thursday . I know to backup both dir but what's the chances it could mess out current draft

Shouldn't mess with the draft, but to be safe, just upgrade once the draft is complete and you need to auto the rest.

Backup the picks.txt file, of course

The Development reports aren't working properly for our league. Only Speed and Position changes are showing up. I just upgraded to the latest version and double-checked that I was importing the correct CSV files. Any ideas???

If you click on a player in OU, you will see all their ratings/talents as 0. What likely is happening is that you set your CSV's to export using a scout or no values, so all their values are 0. Go into OOTP Setup screen, and look at the CSV export settings. Somewhere down in the list is a setting that toggles whether you export the true ratings, OSA ratings, or a scout's ratings. Make sure it is set to true ratings.

Note that if this is the issue, every single player will show development from 0 -> current value when you run development next, which may be ugly. I suggest prior to running development, you delete the OOTPOU/development/prevRatings.txt file so it recreates a new baseline and doesn't create a massive amount of 0 -> <value> development.

Didn't work. Selected "Show real player ratings" in the Configure data export to CSV files section like you instructed, deleted the file you suggested, still only showing speed and position changes.

How do you get rid of weird letters showing up in the utility when players have accents on their name?

[EKomrska15]

Nevermind found it

I see ratings for the players now, but it looks like you deleted all development?

[EKomrska15]

Any chance we can get the readme updated because I have never used the last sim feature or live sim feature because I'm unsure where to plug them in at...Currently this is how it looks

Yes, I re-installed the Utilities and started over. It looks to me like everything is installed properly but now we're not getting any results on the Development tab. Do we just need to wait until the next sim, as the last one provided the base line?
