Over time, there have been a few threads on the forums (like
here) about posting highlights to Slack during real-time sims. I've had this in
my league for a while, and finally invested the time to put together an app that should let any league (or individual) doing real-time sims have similar features.
The app works on Windows, Mac, or Linux, and takes a few minutes to configure one time. A couple other leagues are using it successfully, and provided some feedback, and I'm looking for a couple more leagues to try it out before making it widely available.
Visit
https://statsplus.net/desktop for more information. The current release is v0.4.0, and the app could still be considered "beta".
The app is more than just Slack integration, too, it also creates a parallel real-time sim page that has improvements over the default page produced by OOTP - no more white screens, no full page reload, no partial page updates, for example.
Slack Integration Features:
- Slack integration for league highlights, personal team updates, and more
- Capture league highlights (e.g., no-hitters and injuries) to a common Slack channel
- Post every score update for a single team to a private Slack channel for any GM
- Post a summary of all game scores when a game day ends
- Captures scores when the sim "flips", no more wondering what happened to end the day
Enhanced real-time sim web page features:
- Avoid full page refresh, loads images only once
- No more white screens or partial page loads
- Up to 10x reduction in bandwidth usage, and 50x reduction in total HTTP requests
- Splits association leagues across multiple tabs
- Very mobile-friendly
- For OOTP17, upload live WPA graphs during the sim
- Upload final game box scores and game logs as each game completes
