Been Busy: New Update:

If you are using previous versions, empty the folder and unzip the new version to it.

When first running it, click on the configure button and use the buttons to set the 3 locations:

The three locations are as follows: (Identified by the button name here)

1. Browse (if not the default location)
2. Select League (This is the .lg location)
3. League Site (This is where your reports are generated)

#1 just makes it easier for you to browse for a .lg folder.
#2 lets you pick which league you want to work with.
#3 is where the HTML reports are generated. YOU MUST generate reports for the program to work. But I think the program does it at the end of the season anyhow.

There are two other options you can set on this page. One is the max number of players and the other is max number of boxscores. They are 3000 and 5000 by default. If you have a smaller or larger league, you can change them. This would speed the searches up if lowered, even though they are VERY fast. If you league is larger, you may want to increase the #. The best way to see is to see what the highest BOX number you have is and also the highest P### number you have. My league I am using has 24 teams.

You can then save this league to a name (if you have multiple leagues), Then click on the SET DEFAULT LEAGUE and the next time you open the program it will use these settings.

You then want to go into the UTILITIES section and click on INDEX PLAYERS. This will create a text file with each player listed that will be used by the program to make searches quicker. Right now I do NOT have it automatically generating this file, so you will have to manually do it for each league. If you have not ran the game since the last time you ran it, you do not have to run it again. You would only do it now if new players have been added (draft, etc.). If you have multiple leagues, you would have to run it each time when it is switched.

This will be automated in the next release, but I wanted to have it manually done so that I can see the speed of it. The INDEX button will change and show you every 100 that are indexed. It took me just seconds to index my 2800 players.

On the main screen, the SEARCH for box scores is disabled, as I am going to completely redo this section.

The EVENTS is fully functional along with the UTILITIES.

EVENTS: This section allows you to pick a random event for your league. Nothing happens to your league, you will have to manually make the changes. You can click the random button as many times as you want, in case an event that does not apply to your league appears. The Random Player button is really cool. You click it and it will randomly grab a player and display his name, his player #, his team and his position. It will even pick players with no team. It is looking at the players in the C:\leaguesite folder (or where yours is located). It will also create a link below it that you can click on and it will launch your default browser with that player's stats. You can also click this as many times as you want, in case you are looking for a certain position. There is also a PICK RANDOM NUMBER button. Put in an upper limit and a lower limit and it will generate a random number between the two. Use this as you need to.

UTILITIES: Click on one of the positions listed and you will get a list of all the Gold Glove winners for that position, sorted by their names. So, if Johnny Bench won 6, he would have his name listed 6 times in a row. They are sorted by their first name. If you click on their name, it will create a link to their stat page, if it exists. If you get a PLAYER NOT FOUND, then the player is not in the leaguesite folder and has retired. I will be adding a retired player check later on. But it will only work with HOF players, as the rest are not saved, that I know of.

The No Hitters button and the 3+ homerun buttons work the same way, creating links if you click on the players name.

I have quite a bit more I want to add to this section, including 6+ hits, and other stuff.

As you can see, when I do something, I do not mess around!!
