HTML Free Agent page

The thing is, there are plenty of free agents... it's done this to me ever since the conversion to V4. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do you fix it?

Killebrew · 04-24-2002, 05:27 PM

It appears that league is in the middle of the rookie draft, and if that is so you can't get the free agent info again until after the ammy draft is over.

crackpott · 04-25-2002, 04:15 AM

We have yet to begin the amateur draft... and this happened throughout the season as well.

little help? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

So you have free agents in the free agent pool, but they don't show up in the html report?

During the season this page will show the free agents and the Free Agent HTML output pages work fine in v4, here are 2 examples with leagues using OOTP4/STB2003:

<blockquote>quote:<hr />So you have free agents in the free agent pool, but they don't show up in the html report? <hr /></blockquote>Correct. It's been like that for an entire season. I put up with it for a year, but in the offseason it makes things brutal.

<blockquote>quote:<hr /> Are you the commish? If no, I'd ask your commish to update the FA html page. <hr /></blockquote>I am the commish, and I've tried updating it. I'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with the current time of the season, as it's never shown the free agents properly.

Sorry for the trouble guys, but I've got lots of owners wanting to see it. I appreciate any help.

<a href="http://www.dblc.ootp-leagues.com/DBLC/agents.htm" target="_blank">This one is from a league that was imported from v3.</a>

crackpott · 04-28-2002, 02:50 PM

when we were using V3, it worked. We switched over to V4, using talent-only ratings, and since then it never has.

Can you PM (this forum message system) or email your league PW to me - I am studying your league file to see why the free agents are not being put onto the html pages. I think it has something to do with the scouts on feature though, but I could make sure if I had the league PW.

Thanks!

Killebrew · 04-29-2002, 10:35 AM

Hi crackpott - whew, I finally figured it out after trying nearly every possible league setting or option (arg)!

Excuse me while I attempt generating some pity <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> : I thought it might be related to the large amount of players your league has (3600+ players means an average of over 112 players per team) so I pruned about 40 players off each team. That was not it, though if you ever experience crashes or slow sims pruning the rosters will help

. I then tried changing teams around and redoing the schedule (it's a somewhat unusual league setup in that there are 32 teams) but that was not it either

. Took the coaches off, turned all teams to AI control, reset the league, deleted the HOFers, rearranged the divisional structure, simmed a few seasons with various setting changes, argggg! Finally figured it out - it's the TALENT ONLY reduced rating setting

.

I tried setting other leagues to this setting too and the same thing happened so that is it for sure. The reason we have not seen complaints is that this is probably not as common a setting as regular ratings or the other reduced ratings option. Unfortunately since you have this locked it means you will have to wait till it gets patched before Free Agents will appear in the html reports

. You can still view them within the game but for now that is the only way to see them.

crackpott · 04-29-2002, 11:56 AM

Thanks. I was wondering if that might be the problem, you've been a good help.

Anyway, hopefully, Markus will include this in the next patch. This offseason I'm screwed, but hopefully next one I won't be.

DHS23 · 04-29-2002, 05:41 PM

Way to go Killebrew. I was getting kind of tired of having to go into the game just to look at one free agent. At least we know the problem....wish there was a solution in there though.

crackpott · 04-30-2002, 01:52 PM

when someone with status in patching the game replies, acknowledging the problem, i'll be content.
