OOTPHist v2.0.1

Cato · 01-31-2003, 04:40 PM

Okay, I don't think this will fix everyone's problems, but it should fix alot. And hopefully I didn't introduce any new bugs!

OOTPHist v2.0.1 is here

Anyone who still has troubles, post it here and/or send me your data files so I can run them through the debugger. Be sure to send all Exporter files AND the 5 HTML files from the game.

Enhancements/Fixes:

The program will now handle data errors in the CSV files better. Most errors should be corrected without user intervention.
Fixed 2 Win Shares calculations in the Fielding section.
To account for really terrible teams, added a Bill James rule to prevent Offensive Win Shares from being greater than 78%, or less than 22%, of Total Win Shares. A team in the JOBL showed that this is necessary. Without this rule, their 81 Win Shares (27 wins), were divided up into 254 OWS and -173 DWS. With this rule it's 63 and 18, that makes a little more sense.
Fixed error that occured if NO award winners were selected.
When creating Minor League Leaderboards under certain circumstances a error occured that caused processing to stop. This error will now skip the current stat and continue with next one instead. What are the circumstances? If a pitcher met the required innings for rate stats and had zero At-Bats against, a divide by zero error occurs when calculating OAVG. This should be a very rare error, since a pitcher with any significant number of innings is going to have At-Bats against.
If importing data from the Exporter program, team names can be longer than 16 characters.
Fixed PlayerIDs not being the same as in previous versions of program.
When entering Edit Team Abbreviation screen, if duplicated abbreviations are found, a dialog box pops up.

Cato,

This is a brilliant utility and freeware at that. Thank you for all your hard work. You have enhanced the OOTP4 experience so much for so many people you will never meet. It is much appreciated.

It is crazy fantastic.

I think Cato would love it if I reminded people that this program is donationware

Thanks Jeff - your error checking and ignore additions solved my divide by zero problems on the leaderboards and I got everything generated perfectly

. I also solved my particular divide by zero problem --> One pitcher had insane AA stats in the most recently imported season: 2304.7 innings pitched in one season, an ERA of 0.02, and sure enough .000 OAVG and .000 OSLG! I'll dump this joker's stats and rerun the utility to get the correct AA leaderboards now. Thanks again, you rool the pule (and all others drule).
