NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

Purpose of this program:
I have played NCAA football since 98 and before that I had every FBPro Series game. During that time I have filled hundreds of notebooks with stats from my seasons. I have built various applications that go hand in hand with the NCAA Series. Playing FBPro for so long I fell in love with the webpage options that were present in the game. With NCAA 2014 being out last game for the foreseeable future I am creating a website that I can use instead of having to fill up tablet after tablet of data.

Webpage Example:
Click Here to view what your end of year webpage will look like. (v3.20)
Click Here to view what your preseason webpage will look like. (v3.20)

Change Log:
(v3.20)
*Update School logos and helmets, Bowl Logos, Bowl Trophies
*Bowl Records (link)
*Various Bug fixes


(NCAA2014_Webpage_Maker.exe.config)
*Dynasty Config file allows the follow:
*Ability to change the order that bowls appear
*Ability to change starting year of dynasty. Open the file and change the value of <add key="StartingYear" value="2013"/> from 2013 to the desired year. You must also change the starting year in utility.js (found in the HTML directory) when you open it change the value of var startingYear = 2013; to the desired year.

*Webhost000 support added. After much work we have been able to get v2.3 working on Webhost000. Now anyone can run the new version and post their seasons to the web to have access to them from anywhere.

*HOW TO USE
You must process you files in order. Do your End of Year file, then your Recruiting file. Archive this season. NOW CLOSE THE PROGRAM!!!! You must do this after each season you archive or your links between seasons will not work properly. Then you can do the second season EOY and REC files, Archive then close the program again. I can not stress enough that you must close the program after each season archive. If you want to create a preseason preview make a save at week one before you have played any games (you can do this in your second season on, but not your first season). When you create the report it will make a new season directory for the new year.

8/3/14 (v2.2a)
This is an updated version of the webpage maker program that is designed to run on a webserver. It uses scripting and ajax to pull data in and create the pages. Skulletor has put in a ton of work converting the program away from the access db backend which makes the processing much quicker and the final file size much smaller. This version is built to run on a webserver, if you plan to run it on your local machine you will need to install wamp and play around to try and get everything working.

*Sortable tables: some pages (attendance, SOS) have sortable tables
*Coach data added to the team landing page
*Playoff Bowls are sorted to the top of the Bowls Page.
*New logos, tried to update as many Bowl/Conference logos as possible
*Coaches Page shows Team Record/Career records
*Hot Programs page shows team trends over last 3 years
*Standings now pull Conference Names from Dynasty file
*Fixed bug where Roster Analysis was using backup players in starting lineup ratings
*Miscellaneous bug fixes
*Single conference/bowl champions: if you click on a conference or a bowl from the team page, you will be taken to a page that has all the champions for a single conference
*Faster and leaner: create a full season report takes less than 15 seconds and requires less than 15 MB of storage. Access DB no longer required/needed

4/30/14 (v2.2) - Added Roster Analyzer to the team roster page, also added a button to the program to select three random games. I play only three games a year and sim the rest and use this button randomly select the games I will play.

- Click here to Download NCAA 2014 Webpage Maker! v2.2 (4/30/14)

- Click Here to download Microsoft Access Database Engine This is required to run v1.4 and newer as I changed the database from mdb to accdb which on the user end takes up ~33mb instead of 143mb. Thanks to RedSoxFox7 for tracking this down.


1/23/14 (v2.1) - Added Recruits page and Top Programs by conference page. Also added a links.html page when you click on either Awards or Rankings and Stats on the navigation bar at the top of the page. This was just a quick simple solution for the menus not working properly on my Andriod phone (as opposed to Chrome on my laptop which everything was written for).
1/14/14 (v2.0) - Added Conference Champions, Bowl Champions and added a Trophy Case (Conference Championships and Bowl Titles) to the bottom of each team page.

1/2/14 (v1.9) - Fixed bug where Top Performances by Team would not run, Added Report Options to allow users to choose which reports they want to run. This will be helpful for when you are doing dynasty reporting and only need to update the polls on a bye week.

1/2/14 (v1.8) - Added Top Performances for each team, Added Help descriptions for each button, Added Season Archiver. Your Reports will now be stored in the Archive/Reports directory. If you run the Archive Season function it will create Season.html in the Archive directory which you can use to launch each of the archived reports you have.

12/29/13 (v1.7) - Added Individual Player stats to the box scores for each game. This increased processing time from about 3 minutes on my machine to 6 minutes. There is a lot more calls and data being moved with the addition of the player stats but it is well worth it for the extra level of detail. I also added a top 25 individual performances for passing, rushing and receiving.

12/17/13 (v1.6) - Added team stats and redid the ordering of the link bar at the top of the page. Also attempted to fix the divide by zero bug.

12/12/13 (v1.5) - Added Recruiting Rankings by Conference, Added Coaching Jobs, Fixed issue where users team was not showing freshman who they had redshirted in the preseason. Added Helmets for Old Dominion, South Alabama and Georgia State made by Jeremy7679.

11/27/13 (v1.4) -Added Top Programs and Hot Programs, Added Yearly W-L record to each teams page, Added Attendance Rankings, Changed DB type to slightly reduce file size.

11/25/13 (v1.3) - Added Career Stats, Added Team Record Books, Added National Record Books, Added Attendance Figures to the Team Pages, Fixed Issue that would cause crash if Awards not ran at end of year, Fixed issue where the save file might have the same team in it multiple times.

11/24/13 (v1.2) - Added Strength of Schedule calculations and pages, added Player Awards, Bowl Games, Made it to where any regular season file can now be processed, fixed Independent Conference standings sorting, various back end bug fixes that caused some files to error out, added Progress bar so you have an indication that the program is still running.

11/16/13 (v1.1) - Added BoxScores to team results page. To view them simply click on the score.
Fixed Sack leader sorting. Added current Freshman Page. Added the ability to run just recruiting rankings. You normally run the program at the end of the Bowl Season. This has all the poll data and player stats in the file. If you wait until the off season you seniors will be removed. With this additional button you can run just the recruiting rankings on National Signing day.

11/14/13 (v1.0) - Initial Release, All Poll Rankings, National Championships by Team, Top 20 Individual Stat leaders in the Country, Conference Standings, Team Page with schedule results, individual player season stats and Team Roster.

Optional Downloads:
- Modio 3.0 This will be needed if you are using and XBox 360 and need to get your save data off of you usb drive and on to your computer.

I created the helmet graphics for the page a couple summers back using a personally modified template I found on the web. I have included it below so you guys can create helmets for the community. So if you use it please share your results with the rest of the community in this thread. The initial size is over 1300px to start with but need to be resized down to 350x263 for the webpage.

Very Special Thanks:
A huge thanks to Skulletor for all his time and hard work put in to making this with me. This program is built directly off the incredible work Xanathol did with his Generic EA Roster Editor. I talked to him about me creating a class that would interface his program that allow us to archive our seasons in a webpage format and he graciously gave me have a copy of his editor code to work from. Without the work he put in this app would not be possible.

You sir, are my hero.

Mods PLEASE STICKY THIS!

Re: PocketScout (XBox 360) NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

HOW TO RUN THE PROGRAM AND UPLOAD TO SERVER

Not knowing how much of the process you know I will just start from the beginning.

************************************************** *
************************************************** *
*************** STEP 1
************************************************** *
************************************************** *

I keep three saves for the game on my thumb drive.
* EOY (End of Year after the bowl games but before coaching carousel)
* REC (national signing day file).
* DEFAULT is the file I use week to week and do not use it for the webpage maker.



************************************************** *
************************************************** *
*************** STEP 2
************************************************** *
************************************************** *

In my webpage maker directory (this one I named it ps_3_03) you will have four files and one directory.
* All your data you make with the program will be stored in the archive directory.
* EAChecksum.dll and MC02Handler.dll are both direct link libraries that are needed for the program to run but you will not need to do anything with these.
* NCAA 2014_Webpage_Maker.exe is the file to run that will produce webpages.
* If you want to modify the adjustable parameters of the program you can edit NCAA2014_Webpage_Maker.exe.config with notepad.




************************************************** *
************************************************** *
*************** STEP 3
************************************************** *
************************************************** *

Open NCAA 2014_Webpage_Maker.exe The basic operation is as follows
* 1) File
* 2) Open
* 3) Select your EOY file
* 4) Fill Database
* 5) Create HTML Reports
* 6) File, Open, Select your REC file
* 7) Fill Database
* 8) Update Recruiting Report
* 9) Select your season name information for the season you just finished
* 10) Archive Season
* 11) Close the program

For each season you will do the steps I just went through. You must close the program after each season or it will mess up on linking between years.




************************************************** *
************************************************** *
*************** STEP 4
************************************************** *
************************************************** *

I did the steps mentioned in step 3 for each of my six seasons. Background info note: when you click the (step 3.10) Archive Season button it copies the files from the Reports directory to the folder name you entered in step 3.9 You will see in the previous picture I entered 1996 Arizona State HC 11 2 EOY, and when the Archive Seasons button is pressed it copies all the files from the Reports directory into that directory and you see it in this picture.

I started with my 1991 Buffalo season then processed the EOY and REC file, closed the program, opened again then did 1992 UL Lafayette EOY and REC file, closed, etc.... until I finished my 1996 Arizona State EOY and REC file. Once complete the contents in the archive directory is what you see now.

Keep all your previous seasons folders here and do not delete them. When you hit the Archive Season button it looks to see which folders are present, if you delete an old season folder (ex my 1991 Buffalo folder) it will remove the info from the Seasons file next time you hit the Archive Season button.


This pic is just to give you a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes, you do not have to do any of this as it is accomplished when you hit the Archive Season button. The Seasons file is used to store the Directory and Year of each of your seasons. This is the magic file that links together all of your seasons and makes all of the Team History, Coaching History, Trophy Case, Recent Meetings and All Time Greats features possible. Looking back at step 3 when I clicked the (step 3.10) Archive Season button (when I was processing my 1991 Buffalo season) the program Appended the Seasons file with the Directory and Year of that file, then then next time I processed my 1992 UL Lafayette file and clicked Archive Season it Appended that information to this file, etc... Also every time you hit the Archive Season button it also updates the Seasons.html file (both of these files are located in the archive directory).



************************************************** *
************************************************** *
*************** STEP 5
************************************************** *
************************************************** *

Here I am in Filezilla. On my computer side (left side) I have navigated to my ps_3_03 directory and inside it I have gone to where my data is inside the archive directory. You will see I have all six of the seasons I processed sitting there (1991-1996). On my webserver side (right side) look at the Remote site: and you see I am in a directory named 1991a. This is a folder I created on my server to store all the files from my 1991 alternate universe dynasty. I navigated inside that directory and then made another directory called archive (notice the capitalization is the same for archive on my local machine and on the webserver, this is a must for linux webservers (like 000webhost) as they are cap sensitive on file paths). I then copy all the files from my computer over to the webserver. You will notice that the only one I have not sent over yet is the 1996 Arizona State folder, I copied it shortly after I took these screenshots.

You will need to get your base site setup like mine is on the webserver side. (Note you will not have the "Files" folder like mine does as I just keep things like these howtos stored in it). If you play another season and want to upload it you will so back to step 3 and load just that new season, in my case 1997 Arizona State EOY and REC files, then archive it. This will add a new folder on my computer with the season files in it and it will also append the Seasons and Seasons.html files on my computer. If I want the 1997 season to now show up on my website I will go back into FileZilla and navigate to the archive directory on my computer and the webserver and copy the 1997 Arizona State folder to the server, but I must also copy the Seasons and Season.html files to the webserver and overwrite the old ones in the archive directory.

Re: PocketScout (XBox 360) NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

Is this an Xbox only thing?

It appears that it can be used with both PS3 and Xbox. Just need to get your files into the MC02 format. PS3 Editor How To..

Re: PocketScout (XBox 360) NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

Ah, ok. Sounds really awesome. Great work to both of you guys for putting this out there.

[PocketScout]

Re: PocketScout (XBox 360) NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

After looking around the site I came across this link for a PS3 editor. If the output is the same formatted MC02 file then it should work. If someone could send me a save file ill give it a run, or if one of you guys could give it a try and let me know if it works it would be much appreciated. Id love to have this working with both systems.

Re: PocketScout NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

If this works for the PS3 you are my hero.

[PocketScout]

Re: PocketScout NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

If this works for the PS3 you are my hero.

I don't have a ps3 to test it but looking at the PS3 Editor Thread it has directions on how get your ps3 save file into MC02 format. I can not test this as I have a 360, but since this method works for editing files in Xanathol's editor it should have no issues at all working with my program (which uses his as a base and just has an additional HTML class added to it to make the webpages.) If anyone could give it a run i'm sure many others would love to know if it works.

Also I should have a new update coming out Sunday. Just various bug fixes, added SOS calculations and pages and fixed issues that will allow the program to be ran at any point during the regular season, not just the end of the year.

Yes its possible for ps3 and i found a way!!its not my editor, but u can edit ps3 files in the dynasty editor and the generic ea editor, so credit to the makers of those...before i go on, how many are interested?? im not gonna go full out if 2 people are gonna use it


UPDATE

ALRIGHT HERE IT IS (THX TO A MEMBER ON THE NBA FOURMS FOR DIRECTIONS 1-5)

1. Download the program called bruteforce save data which can be found here. Install the program.

http://www.ps3hax.net/2013/04/releas...save-data-3-8/

2. Save the roster or dynasty file that you want to edit on to a USB.

3. Open Bruteforce with your usb attached to your pc or laptop it will then ask for your profiled id of your console which then choose the file called Param.sfo. This file allows for the program to recognize your console unique ID. It will update this so now your should see next to profile a whole bunch of numbers and letters this is what you want to see.

4. Now select the path for savedata tab and select the location of where you put your save (it is easier just to leave the files your USB since your not moving files back and forth but it is up to you)

5. Now you should see your save appear under the name tab with all the other information of your file such as time created console id amongst other things. Now what you wanna do is click on the decrypt.pfd tab on the bottom toolbar. it will ask to decrypt all files and select yes now the bottom left corner should be green meaning that the file has been decrypted.

6. Now close out of Bruteforce, and go in to the folder/ the save (BLUS31159-ROSTER-**rostername**). Locate the file "USR-DATA" and right click>>rename. now add .MC02 to the end of that.

7. Now you might be asking "What program do i use to edit?" i am recommending using the dynasty editor to edit the roster file..i am still working on the generic editor, but it does work. just open up the usr-data.mc02 file in the editor and edit away.

Re: PocketScout NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

Holy crap, this looks awesome. This is exactly what I've been looking for since Avid is such a PITA to set up.

How will it work after multiple seasons? Does it create a new "site" for each season? Or is there a way to link them all together?

[PocketScout]

Re: PocketScout NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

Right now (v1.1) it will just fill the reports directory with all the files generated. From there you can make a copy of that folder and then rename the copy to season01 or whatever you want to call it and can archive them that way. I might look to include some scripting to take care of that end in the future but right now it will have to be done manually.

Also tomorrows v1.2 update will include all player trophy rankings (Heisman, etc) and a Bowl Games page to better see who played who.

Re: PocketScout NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

Re: PocketScout NCAA 2014 Webpage Creator

I'm definitely gonna try this for PS3. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get a chance to. Thanks a lot!
