OK, 4.1.0a is released, which contains the fixes to the draft we found while running it in our leagues. Things look to be working very smoothly now. Probably shouldn't have released when I did, but with the baby, you know.. was a little rushed.
So, most everything was revamped in the draft. Most of the features are easily just shown in screenshots. Each screen in order:
Admin:
- Support for supplemental rounds
- Full support for inserting, deleting picks, etc.
- Auto pick if timer expires
- Customizable auto-pick AI
- New region to see who is auto-picking
- Draft timer supports down to minute scale
- Draft order is automatically populated from last year's results (not shown)
- Support for serpentine drafts (not shown)
Draft Screen:
- Faster UI/table (partial page rendering supported)
- Customizable columns
- Can view each player's details in-draft without going to an external page (not shown, similar to how development page and the draft selection page look)
- Just a helluva much better experience
Picks screen:
- Can view each player's details in-page (same as on draft page).
- Note that I added a tab to the player's page. You now can toggle between the development and the ratings for each players. This has also been added to the Development player details panel.
As stated, I plan on adding a history tab to view past drafts soon. And I will do a readme. And there are some other minor additions I will probably add as well. I'm not giving any timeline since, you know, we just had a baby and its the holiday season, but hopefully soon. Let me know if you have any questions/comments in the meantime.
A few notes about installing:
- Do NOT install while doing a draft. You have to wait until any draft is over.
- Do not forget to go to the Admin screen and click Generate UI Files after installing, to copy over the new icons and javascript.
- Make sure to clear your browser cache since there is updated javascript. If the Apply button doesn't seem to work, this is most likely the issue (you browser has the old jscript file cached still)
And lastly, my total donations for all of this work I've done is $0. Please keep me motivated. I'll need it with this new baby too
