Post Season stats not posted correctly

Eugene Church · 11-06-2006, 04:50 PM

A month or two ago, I posted this problem with the POST SEASON STATS on the Tech Forum and battists said he could not recreate the problem.

Well, I still have the same problem in every league I have set up.

Will you please check this out again?

On the REGULAR SEASON and POST SEASON League Schedule, it shows the final score of a game, but it doesn't list the players who hit home runs in the games. It shows "HR - NONE", even though there were several homers hit in the game. This is not random, it happens every time, in every game in the regular season and post season.

And in the POST SEASON Box Scores in the BATTING section, it doesn't give the POST SEASON accumulated totals for doubles, triples and home runs...only "0" is listed, when it should give the total number for the post season.

Nor does it show Home Run and RBI totals for the POST SEASON on the right hand side of each team's lineup in the final boxscore.

It only gives "0" in each of those areas.

Also, in the POST SEASON Box Scores, the pitchers' ERAs are "0.00" and the Won-Lost record is "0-0"

During the regular season the game has the correct totals for all of the above...except on the LEAGUE SCHEDULE screen...it does not list the Home Runs hit in the game...only "HR - NONE".

Moving this to the proper forum.

Could you upload your league using the FTP instructions here?

Sorry, not computer literate enough to do that.

Give me detail instructions and I will attempt to do it.

Does this problem appear in your leagues?

Your best bet would be to download an FTP application like CuteFTP or LeechFTP and then apply the instructions I linked in the other post. That's pretty much the easiest way you can do it.

And no, I've never seen that happen any any of my leagues on either of my computers.

Thanks for the help.

It looks like I am the only one having this problem.

I just created a test league today...with only 8 teams...and the post season stats are fouled up in it, too.

I was hoping that it was the previous league that was the problem.

I have Mozilla. I will see if I can follow your instructions to upload it.

Eugene Church · 11-06-2006, 09:33 PM

I tried to figure out the procedure.

I used Filezilla to ship it.

I used the address, user. password, etc...and shipped it to your server, just the way I do to my website.

It looked like it disconnected from the server with a critical error before it finished.

Let me know if you did not get it.

I named it "eugene church.zip" as per the instructions.

Eugene Church · 11-06-2006, 09:47 PM

I went into the "game save" folder on your server and saw that some of my league made it to it...but they are not identified with my name.

Sorry, the only way to know which files belong to me is the date I sent it...11-07-06.

The "backup 2006 11 04 16 51 35" is one of my leagues that is messed up.

I tried to put "eugene church.zip"...but for some reason...probably my ignorance, it put it in the game save folder without the id.

Can you use what you received to try and figure out why I have the problem with the post season stats and boxscores...also League Schedule screen with the lack of player names who hit home runs?

Eugene Church · 11-06-2006, 10:18 PM

I tried to ship it three times.

One league named "New Game.lg" was the last one I sent. It is the smallest league...only 8 teams...it was a test league to see if the "post season stats" problem continued in a newly-created league.

It did.

I saw several "critical error" notices right at the end of the transfer...but the upload was successful...at least that was the final entry on the window, where you see what is being transferred.

Sorry for the mess.

Hope you can figure out the problem.

Erik W. · 11-07-2006, 06:09 AM

You didn't make it into a .zip file first.

I'll try to collect all of the pieces and see what's up.

Sorry...I told you I am not computer literate.

It was an interesting situation. I thought for a moment I had done it right.

I have gained a little knowledge.

Maybe the next time I need to post something here, I will do it right.

Hope I didn't screw up your forum here.

Markus answered my post on the Discussions Forum and said there is no problem with the game...it must be my computer.

I will uninstall the game and reinstall and see if that clears it up.

Don't spend a lot of time on it...unless it is an easy thing for you to do to find the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Erik W. · 11-07-2006, 01:09 PM

I spent long enough on it to figure out that it works fine on my PC, even using your league. Hopefully a re-install will help. Let us know.

And no, you didn't screw up the FTP. I just moved your scattershot of files into one folder, so it's not much worse than having it zipped right now.

Thanks for your help, my man.

Hope I can repay the favor one day.

Eugene Church · 11-07-2006, 11:05 PM

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game...same thing happened when I created my league.

However, prior to creating my league, I ran the MAL league created by the game and everything worked properly.

Bewildering.

My league is two subleagues, 5 divisions with 6 teams each...no minors...on financials.

It is a far simple league than the MAL, which must have 15 leagues and 100 teams.

Any suggestions would be sincerely apppreciated.

Eugene Church · 11-08-2006, 03:35 PM

I just created a league and basically used the default settings.

I did set up the structure the way I wanted...2 subleagues...5 divisions with 6 teams in each.

ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM THIS TIME !!!

This seems to indicate the problem is caused, when I change some of the default settings. My mixture doesn't seem to go well with the game.

This sounds like a game bug to me, if this is the case.

I am going back and create the original league with the settings I want...and see what happens.

Hopefully, it will work...and life will be great again in my fictional world of baseball.

Eugene Church · 11-08-2006, 06:10 PM

I set up the league the way I wanted it...that is, I changed some of the default settings to suit my needs.

It fouled up again.

Regular Season and Post Season Schedule screen did not have players, who hit home runs in the game.

Post Season Box Scores did not accumulate stats in doubles, triples, homers, RBIs...pitchers W-L record and ERA were "0-0" and "0.00".

I will try another test league and go back to using almost all of the game's default settings.

I can't get this fixed otherwise.

Maybe someone from OOTPB can offer some assistance and tell me what is going on.

If you give me the option to change settings to fit my league, the game should still operate properly.

I can't get it to do it.

battists · 11-08-2006, 10:32 PM

Eugene, could you try this?

1. Create a new game
2. Set the game up the way you like it
3. Before you click on Start Game, click on Templates --> Save this setup as a template
4. Enter a name like "Eugene Template" and click Save Template
5. Open up My Computer or Windows Explorer, and look for the world_templates folder inside of your OOTP directory.
6. Find the template that you named (like "Eugene Template.wtp")
7. Zip up this file, and e-mail it to me at steve.battisti @ ootpdevelopments.com

I'll grab your template, and try to replicate this problem.

Let me know if you're not sure how to do some of this. I know all about you and technology.

Thanks very much!

Steve

Eugene Church · 11-09-2006, 12:42 AM

Yeah, you are so right about my computer illiteracy.

I will give it a try to get you the template.

Eugene Church · 11-09-2006, 12:44 AM

Don't know if the problem is just because of the weird way I play the game...no financials, scouts, coaches and no minors...or if there really is a glitch somewhere that could cause other people problems.

Here is a detailed report on what I did to work around the problem.

Great News...at least for me.

I finally solved the Post Season Stats Problem.

Or at least worked around it. The problem is still there, if you disable some of the default settings....which specific ones, I am not sure.

I went back and set up another league and used most of the default settings.

This time the Post Season Stats were right and the Home runs were correct on the Regular Season and Post Season League Schedule screen.

Here are the changes I made on the successful run...I kept notes.

Disabled injuries
Set Active Roster to 23
Disabled Expanded Roster size
Disabled Secondary (40-man) Roster size
Disabled Spring Training
Set schedule at 150 games
Set Foreigners Percentage to zero
In Strategies I set all of them to the frequency I wanted
Set 2B to .9750 in the League Totals Modifiers section
Set HR to .9500
Set SO to .9300
Saved it as a template
Put my name in as Manager and Commissioner
Started Game
Changed my Manager settings to stop all messages

Why do I change the default settings?
When the game gives me a choice and I don't use that feature, I disable it...for instance the scouting system and coaching system...personality ratings...expanded Roster and Secondary Roster sizes...financials.

I usually change Stats Details to Low Detail, but left it at Very High Detail, just in case this might be part of the problem...even though it was nonsense to think that it had anything to do with the problem. But then again, none of the settings should affect the Post Season Stats and the Schedule Screen. They don't seem to have any relationship.

In fact I left all of those defaults enabled that I normally change to see if they were affecting the Post Season Stats...and my problem went away.

It seems that they have an unwanted effect on the game...at least in my particular case.

It is really strange that no one else had this problem show up.

I guess I play the game in a weird fashion.

I'll keep looking at this, Eugene with the hopes of asking enough questions that we might stumble on a solution to get you your universe.

BOY, ENDGAME...YOU ARE SOME STUPID AS WE SAY IN LOOZIANNE.

That is exactly what caused the problem.

I ran a test league just to see and in the "low detail" mode, you do not get Post Season stats accumulated or Home Runs shown on the League Schedule screen.

I changed it to the "normal detail" mode and it worked fine.

Eugene Church · 11-09-2006, 09:35 PM

battists, you might want to point this out to Markus.

Using "low detail" setting cuts out the Post Season stats in the Box Scores and doesn't show home runs on the League Schedule screen.
