OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Version 0.9.9 Game and Data Update Now Available

JeffR · 03-21-2013, 06:53 PM

Our second game update, Version 0.9.9, is now available, and also includes this week's data update:

FHM - Update 0.9.9

Installation instructions: After you download the file just install it over your existing game (you don't need to un-install the old version first!). Make sure to select the correct path to your game if needed.

Note that you may need to clear your browser cache to get the correct file, as the file name is the same as previous versions. The correct file size is 37,958 KB and the game should show 0.9 BETA Build 9 on the Game Start Screen after updating. If you get a different file or the game continues to show Build 4 after updating, clear your cache and re-download. If that still doesn't work, try downloading from this alternate link.

Saves from earlier versions are not compatible with this version!

Changes/Fixes/Additions:

*** 0.9.9 (21 March 2013) ***

Crash Fixes:

Crash when trying to view skater stats after using search function.
Crash after editing the length of staff contracts.
Crash when goalie is assigned to skater position.
Occasional crash when clicking on names on Goalie Leaders page.
Occasional crash when using Ask Assistant to set lineup after a trade.

Other Bug Fixes:

Junior players with NHL contracts no longer have those contracts switched to the junior team.
No longer able to add untouchable players to a trade via the player profile action button.
User's own team no longer refusing to trade some players.
Generic name "Jo Avg" no longer replaces names of retired players on transaction reports; links in those reports will now go to the correct player record.
Draft order no longer being calculated twice.
Popup label on "Giveaways" column in Skater Stats 1 no longer says "Goals Against."
Occasional instances of no players being available for selection in 2014 draft fixed.
Elitserien playoffs no longer occasionally start before the end of the regular season.
Contract offers made to players who subsequently retire no longer transfer to their 14-year-old replacements.
Incorrect team names/abbreviations displayed in in-game view.
Incorrect value displayed for single-season hits record on leaderboard.
Players no longer disappear when a team exceeds its import quota.
Inverted home-away games on KHL schedule corrected.
No longer impossible to access trading block or trade offer screen on the trading deadline.
No longer possible to play a game twice because play option remains available after using "Finish Today."
Enough replacement players now being generated to populate lower leagues.
Major Junior teams no longer ignore player rights of other CHL teams.
When scrolling from a scouted to an unscouted player using previous/next, star ratings from previous player no longer remain visible.
2014 NHL playoffs no longer occasionally not occurring.
Trading of draft picks no longer stops after 2012-13.
Large number of new players from non-hockey countries no longer being generated.
Injured players no longer occasionally impossible to place on injured list.
Names on goalie leaders page no longer go to wrong page when clicked on.
Team names now saved properly when edited.
Wrong game no longer appears when attempting to view summaries of KHL playoff games.
Traded draft picks no longer remaining with team that traded them.
KHL teams no longer placing too many young players on trade list.
Extremely cheap ($1000) contract extensions in some leagues no longer occurring.
Career stats screens for goalies no longer display NHL instead of correct league name.
Exiting while in in-game view no longer causes issues with game summary.
Clicking on player names while viewing mental ratings or goalie stats in roster overview no longer links to wrong player.

Changes:

New method for AI to evaluate value of draft picks; should be more variety in the picks included in AI trades now (they won't always be 4th rounders).
Player valuation now considers usefulness of player's ratings for his position and style of play.
Historical finances now operating at much more realistic levels (team budgets are still being allowed to vary for now, this may be changed to a fixed amount if they rise or decline too much.)
Historical games now require a save name before starting.
Recall waivers have been removed from the NHL.

Data Changes (not a complete list):

Players debuting in 81-82 and 82-83 added to historical database.
NHL transactions accurate as of Wednesday, March 20 (give or take a couple of rookie signings where details aren't available yet. Zac Boychuk's waiver pickup also didn't make it in, but he'll probably be somewhere else by next week, anyhow.)
Data editing was affected by the website outages last weekend, so not as many leagues as usual had work done - there are changes to the NHL, ECHL, NCAA, OHL, QMJHL, KHL, Swiss, Czech, German, Finnish, UK, and Swedish data this week.

Note:

Certain letters in Czech player and team names are appearing as ? or W on some screens. It's particularly noticeable because a number of Extraliga skaters were rated too strongly in this update and tend to get signed by NHL teams in the first offseason. We'll address both issues in the next update.
