CatoBase 6.1.3 Update

Download load it here.

A few bug fixes. I think this takes care of everything I know about, bug-wise.

Changes:
  • Fixed error that would crash program if an r###.html is referenced in ltrans.txt instead of p###.html.
  • Added better error handling to the importing of the ltrans.txt file.
  • Fixed the code to not include a pitcher's postseason wins, losses, and saves in his regular season stats. This only occured for pitchers who were involved in a transaction during the season.
  • Fixed error on HOF page that showed batting stats way too high for players with 'pre-sim' history. Also, players will now be listed alphabetically and column headings will repeat every 30 rows if photos are not used or every 7 if they are.
  • Added a check to make sure incoming players do not have duplicate CatoBase PlayerIDs. If duplicates are found, the program will tell you the name of the player and exit. Find one of the players with the given name in OOTP and edit his birthdate so that a different PlayerID will be created. This is a very rare problem.
  • Added an asterik to indicate hit-less at-bats were added to rate stats for players who don't meet the minimum requirement on team batting leaders page.
  • Changed the way CatoBase tries to correct the 255 Bug in OOTP. The old way produced too many false positives, so pitchers would get 256 R, ER, or RBI added when not needed. The new way compares the number of ER with the expected number of ER based on CERA. There will be a large difference if the 255 Bug is involved.
  • Updated Awards charts to show only the stats from the league the player won the award in. Before, it would show the player's total stats and the alphabetically last team he played for, even if that team was in the other league.

Things I still want to do include:
  • If a player played for more than one team, list the teams on the player page in chronological order, instead of alphabetically.
  • Career positional leaderboards
  • Team for HOFer's. I guess if there were multiple teams, it would be the team the player spent most of his career with.
  • Figure out VB.net and restart from scratch.
  • Let me know about anything else you'd like to see.
