MLB09 Save Reader Beta Version 0.8.3498.17806 Release

Re: MLB09 Save Reader Beta Version 0.8.3498.17806 Release

Didn't work. I tried getting rid of everything but the .dll files and still got the same message.

edit - OK, I figured it out. Sorta. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to a different directory (reinstalling to the same directory didn't work). Viola, it worked. But I'm not quite sure why. There where no files present in the original directory that are not in this one.

Which brings me back to my original question. When it generates output, how do I view the output? I saw where you said it puts them in the directory with the save reader, but what should I be looking for?

The output is xml files. Say you generate a player home page for Albert Pujols... the file will be named Pujols_Albertpro.xml The ratings page is Pujols_Albertrat.xml.... etc. Team pages use the team's short name (i.e. STL1_ROS.xml or BOS0_LIN.xml) the number is the league (there are duplicates when you consider all teams). The numbered files correspond to box scores... 1.xml is the second box score in the save file. Each game played has TWO box scores, one for the visiting team, one for the home team. Thus box scores 0.xml and 1.xml will be identical, 2 & 3 are the same, etc. I will be putting all of the output files into user-configurable folders in a future release. You can tell the program where you want the files to go. This is a beta, so things aren't as clean as they should be...yet.

All xml files should open fine in a browser... I've tested them in both IE (v 6) and Firefox (v2, v3).

It's not putting the files in the save reader directory.

The current release doesn't work with Roster files, right?

I only play RTTS. Has there been confirmation on whether or not this works with RTTS files? I tried it with a 19MB file that I think was one of my save files from March and it didn't too well. Also, I couldn't find my guy in the list after importing.

It should. Let me know if it doesn't (obviously, there will be no box scores in a roster file, so that won't work).

I haven't seen a 19MB save file before. I'd be hesitant to say it works on anything pre-patch, although I don't think that they changed the file structure. I'd be interested to see this 19MB file. If you want to upload it somewhere and give me a PM, I'll take a look.

It's not putting the files in the save reader directory.

Are you seeing the players and teams in the fields on the form after you load your save file? Do you have any .db files in your installation directory after loading a save file?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I cannot do anything with the Roster file. I haven't tried with franchise yet, so maybe the problem is mine. I'll keep you posted as soon as I try a Franchise save.

I'm getting the following error when it's at "Decoding Lineups" on my RTTS save file:

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Screenshot</td></tr></tbody></table>

Can you upload your save file somewhere that I can download it? I think I know what the problem is, but I'd like to test the fix with your file to make sure I got it right. PM me the location. Thanks!

Fantastic stuff - I remember this giving MVP so much life beyond the game!

I seem to have a slight problem... its installed (using a new installation of NET 1.1) and the program loads correctly.

The save file appears to load correctly, but if I generate anything - although it appears successful with a message at the bottom of the SAVREADER, there are no generated files in my installed directory??

Could they be going anywhere else? Or what would they be named so I can search for them,?

Cheers

Ive got the exact same problem - ive not got any .db files in my directory and I can see all the players and teams in the options.

Ive re-installed and the same problem.

I'm seeing the players and teams after loading the save file, but I don't see any .db files after loading the save. And whenever I select a team or a player and generate a stats page or box scores, it tells me that it is generating the output, but the files aren't showing up. It has to be putting them somewhere, but I can't figure out where for the life of me. I tried running a search on my hard drive for some possible file names, but I didn't come up with anything.

The files should be in the same place as your MLBRosterReader09.exe file. Search for mlb09.db should be in the same place. Look for any .xml files in there. It could also be in the C:\, C:\Windows, or C:\Windows\System32 directories... I'm checking on that and will have a better fix in the next release.
