OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - StatsPlus App for Real-Time Sims

Apologies for the cross-post, but wanted to make sure that online leagues that do real-time sims, or use Slack for communications, had seen my post in the mods forum regarding the StatsPlus desktop app. Maybe your league hasn't done any real-time sims in the past, but you'd like to try them out for playoffs, or big games. This app can increase engagement in your online league - real-time sims are seriously addictive.

The app is more than just Slack integration, 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, and support for live box scores in leagues that use SQL reports, for example.

Even if you are not doing real-time sims, you can use the app to have it post game results and injuries to Slack while the games are being simmed a day at a time.

App home page for screenshots is https://statsplus.net/desktop/

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
Supports live box scores for leagues with SQL reports (OOTP doesn't support this by default)
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 (OOTP doesn't upload the last box or log for games during the sim)

I've been running a league doing daily real-time sims for some time now (USBA), and the league absolutely loves having Slack updates in real-time while the sim is running, and the improved web page. There are a handful of leagues successfully using the app now, and I've love to get a few more leagues going.

If you're interested, PM me your e-mail address, and I'll send you a Slack invite to a group I have set up for real-time support, and where you can also make feature requests for future versions.
