RBI and RUNS CAPS
IN OOTP baseball, there is a cap on both runs and rbis for a season set at 255 . The database field limits for RUNS and RBIS were set at BYTE LEVEL in a season. If the RBIs or RUNS exceeds 255, it is resets back to zero. I have sent a troubleshoot ticket to this, and reply comes back they have no solution although this has been known since 2002 and I would think they would have optimized their database as the game improves and expands; in other words, they are not planning at this point to optimize the database to change the fields to at least a decimal level or integer level which would permit numbers greater than 255.
I have one player in my league that has exceeded the limits. Since the developers have offered no workarounds to this issue, does any of you have any workarounds you have come up with to deal with this issue. Thanks |

I'm fairly sure this will be addressed in V7:SI. The only workaround without a significant amount of manual bookeeping is to avoid the scenarios which will create this (reduce number of games, etc.

That is uh pretty hard to excede. Since im gonna say 80% of people will never have to worry about this (likely closer ot 90) it shouldnt be on the priority list.

I'm assuming (at this point) that Markus will have the chance to redesign the DB under SI - but the cost of that might be incompatability with older leagues... we'll have to wait and see. |

I can't pinpoint what thread I read it in but Markus posted somewhere that continuing current leagues would be in the new SI version of oopt. Don't know if I read that here or on the SI board and am heading out the door so don't have time to search and link.

Well, if the DB is expanded, that would likely mean a slower-running game at times. All that we need is one more lame-brained reviewer to give a less-than-awesome review because of how long it takes to simulate an entire season, lol. (I'm not naming names, but I'm sure more than a few of us saw that).

Yet many played that game to death, and some still do. Look at the Catobase utility some are using. Some say it takes hours to compile all the stats, depending on how many seasons they are compiling. To them it is worth it. As long as OOTP 7 and beyond was compiling stats, that add and enhance game play. I don't think many OOTPers, would have a problem with the game taking a little longer to do things.

I'd tend to agree with Skipaway. I don't think necessarily OOTP is too slow right now, but certainly increasing the sim time for a season is not desirable. If it takes too long to sim a single season, then that's going to be a negative for me.
Of course, everyone's idea of what constitutes too long is different. Suffice it to say the sim times should try to stay in line with whatever OOTP is doing right now. A small decrease may be acceptable if there are a ton of new and interesting features added, but overall, I'd prefer to sim times stay the same as they are now. |

I think if Markus does make the fixes, which I really, really hope he does, he will also find a way to make imports work. Maybe not perfectly, but to some degree.

I wouldn't mind if it was a bit slower (due to enhancements). I can still remember playing Front Page when it would take 24 to 36 hours to sim one season.

I think when this was discussed before, it turned out that upping the stat limits required a ****load of code editing in thousands of places. Which is probably why it hasn't been done yet.
