Another OOTP 12 Update, Version 12.5.34 released!

[Markus Heinsohn]

Hey guys,

since the prior version had a couple of issues we wanted to fix, we just released a new OOTP 12.5 update, version number 12.5.34.

It fixes the following compared to version 12.5.33:
- Fixes a rare bug that results in the spring training schedule being generated twice
- Fixed problems with the "Ask AI to set up entire organization" command in the team transactions screen
- Tweaked contract negotiation AI with minor league contracts
- Fixed a problem which prevented certain trades when a salary cap was enabled

Here is the complete changelist compared to version 12.4.27:
- Added an "Offseason Summary" to the Offseason Center which lists players added/lost during the offseason for each team, along with WAR and team leaderboard for WAR added.
- Added a "GM Transactions History" section to the Manager History screen. It lists all major transactions made for the teams you were in charge of. This only applies for transactions happening after using this patch.
- Added a "Preseason Predictions Report", listing projected standings and a top 10 hitters & pitchers list for each sub-league. It gets generated on the first day of Spring Training and is available from both the league menu or the Spring Training screen. For leagues without Spring Training it is available in the league reports screen on Opening Day.
- Added functions to add states and edit state names in the nations editor
- Decreased effect on fan interest of players signing/leaving
- Tweaked formula that determines FA compensation status to make the number of Type A & B FA's more realistic
- Added "FA type" as a possible column to sortable player lists. For this to show up, the user has to delete his \tables folder inside the OOTP 12 user data folder (i.e. My Documents\ OOTP Developments\OOTP 12\)
- First year player draftees no longer change their bonus demand after being drafted unless they are drafted far higher than expected.
- Improved roster AI
- Added the option to disable delayed injury diagnosis
- OOTP will load and display news from the OOTP Developments server on startup (can be disabled in preferences dialog)
- OOTP 12 is now tracking how you play the game, i.e. which screens you visit most frequently (disabled by default, please enable it because it will help us to improve OOTP). The data tracked is 100% anonymous.
- Fixed several bugs and minor issues

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'll tell you why, Santa Clause (Markus Heinsohn) just came again. This has got to be the grandest community in the whole world. And why? Cause we get multiple Christmas' every year all thanks to the extremely hard work and dedication of two grand gentlemen - Markus and Andreas and everyone else with OOTP Developments.
Hmmm. I wonder what else Santa has in his sack of goodies?

question
the 12.5.33 updated messed up my finances for my league

the league has not launched yet so its a clean file

ok the issue

the teams now say no money for fa's and extensions and also the avg development budget is not the avg i set its random
so my question is does 12.5 fix that bug/issue?


edit : 12.5.35 does not fix the issue at all . so my new question is this is there a fix or am i gonna have to regenerate fictional finances?

[Cryomaniac]

And people claim that the developers don't care?

[tkift]

Not sure what I did wrong but when I downloaded the patch for the previous 12.5 patch from the forum post instead of waiting for the Apple app store, my version of OOTP12 now thinks it a demo version. Is this a case of reinstalling the original program?? and should I wait for the app store to catch up. My 12 league is ready to run a sim.

The patch is not compatible with the app store version - you have to wait until Apple releases their own version of the patch.

Just reinstall the original program (and whatever patches they do have), and you should be fine again.

As for the league, if all players are not on the same version (and patch), you will experience issues such as financial budgets going out of whack, etc, so the league should be advised to wait until Apple gets caught up.

Thanks, Randy. The app store still does not have the first version of 12.5. I guess I'm on the disabled list until Apple catches up.

Yes, please assign fictional financials to all teams, that will fix the issue.

Yeah, the update is submitted to Apple, but they always need 7-10 days to approve it, sorry.

i will do that but y did it mess up the finances in the first place ? do you know? is that bug fixed in the new patch meaning will it do this again


edit : i regenerated finances and still said no money for fa's or extensions but the development budget when back to avg
but i was able to offer contracts to the FA's even tho it said no money for fa's and same for extensions. is this suppose to be like that and my other pro league says it has money for fa's and extensions . im just tring to get a clear line on if thats the way the new updates are suppose to make it to be or if there's a bug . and again its a clean file no mixed versions as i have not imported exports yet

I downloaded the update file (*.exe) but it comes through after installation as 12.5.34.

Edit: I am an idiot 12.5.34 is correct. Don't know why I thought it should be 35.

Well they don't since they haven't added all the things I want, even those things no one else cares about.

I agree, they haven't fixed my problem, even though I never told them about it or tried to help report it. They clearly don't care.
