2014 Discussion Thread

[mstreeter06]

The 2014 season is about to begin! Working on turning the calendar year over game. I'll have an updated league file/reports up in the next 15 minutes or so!

[mstreeter06]

File/reports are updated leading up to the first day of Spring Training. We'll sim the 1st half of ST on Wednesday morning, the 2nd half of ST on Friday morning, and then Opening Day 2014 on Monday morning! Thanks!

Statslab is updated (for the most part). I have a few kinks to iron out tomorrow.

Any franchises that want to change/update logos, mascots, minor league city moves, ballpark changes (name, wall heights, dimensions, factors), or a future relocation of the ML franchise (pending commish approval) must write up a press release in the Team Press Releases thread before the Opening Day sim (Monday the 29th). Thanks!

None of my picks made my franchise's top 20 prospects list.  WEAK DRAFT, lol.

I have done some cleaning up of the .zip files of the league file. I trimmed down the League File (top right of the forum) to include only the 'settings' folder in the 'AFBL.lg' folder plus all the ".dat" files. The Images Pack is a zipped folder of the "AFBL.lg\news\html\images" folder. This will greatly reduce the size of the files and help out the website's backend.

Anyone having issues should...
-close their game
-delete the AFBL.lg folder from your 'saved_games' folder in the OOTP14 folder
-download the updated League File (zipped folder of 'AFBL.lg' folder with only "settings' folder and .dat files)
-click 'Check for updated League Files' (there shouldn't be any updates since the just uploaded League File is current at ST Opening Day 3/8/14)
-export for the 1st Half ST sim which will run tomorrow morning (7/24) at 6am CT

Thanks guys!

Nice matt, is the images file an updated file with changed uniforms for the guys traded?

Yes they should be. I just created the zip file this morning. Please let me know if it doesn't reflect it and I'll do some checking...

I just added an AFBL Chatroom using the web irc chat node we used for the live draft last night. I think the link will continue to work so I'll keep it as an active link in the top right of the forum for anyone that wants to hang out in there to talk trade openingly or privately or talk about whatever.

1st half of ST sim has been run. File/reports are up with Statslab right behind it. 2nd half of ST up to Opening Day 2014 will be simmed Friday.

Hey matt, looks like our trade wasn't processed properly in game - my guys are still in my organisation while Pratt is now listed as a free agent.

I was a dummy and processed it before grabbing the exports. I've fixed it on my end and have spoken to Mike. Sorry about that!
