Voices of the Game Text File - Additional PbP - of baseball's announcers

[Divervog]

I'm uploading Version 6A in a moment. I think it has all the corrections mentioned here.

Can't guarantee AP style all the time. But I do sincerely appreciate the feedback and letting me know when stylistically or grammatically it is incorrect. I do a lot of cut and paste with it and try to get the edits, but I know I miss some.

I definitely adjusted the Holy cow! to at least apply consistency. And the Go crazy, folks! Go crazy! for the same reasons

As far as the Casey Stengel issue, not sure what caused that. I hadn't noticed it specifically, because I play a lot of older leagues, which is isn't used because of the timing condition, most likely. Since you noted, I definitely have noticed the problem. Hopefully, it clears with this, may try some other options to help clear it if it continues.

The tie it up, I thought I had in the tie it up category. Clearly didn't, added condition, which should be correct.

Thanks again.

There is very little, if any new content with this update, I had some issues loading game after my changes were made for this update, so I went back to the previous update and just made the changes. But hopefully, I can identify the recent errors and get the content additions up soon as well.

I've got work to do today, but hopefully I can get in a game or two.

Here's an interesting one.

Top of the 10th, and the PbP says the new pitcher is in for the save.

[beepollen]

Also, got this on a home run call.

[beepollen]

Spacing issue.

[beepollen]

The "3-hits" doesn't get the hyphen.

That one's not mine...

I've noticed it for a while and haven't been able to fix it... also the 3-hits shutout below isn't mine, but I adjusted that one.

They will be in the next update from me. Maybe later tonight

[beepollen]

Kudos for this one - made me bust out laughing.

But the text is much longer than the box, and for whatever reason, there's no line break.

[beepollen]

Capitalization issue.

[beepollen]

Another line-break issue.

[beepollen]

At the end of games, seems to be defaulting to the "We had 'em all the way." line.

"The game looks easy from up here." With a guy on first taking a big lead: "He looks runnerish." And this gem, after the opposition second baseman took a bad hop grounder in a sensitive area. After a few minutes of writhing on the ground, the afflicted infielder arose to the cheers of the crowd, and Ashburn remarked, "Way to hang in there, if you'll pardon the expression."

My favorite of all time comes from way back in the Sixties, related by my Dad, who was listening to a late, late night game on the West Coast. When the Phillies were bad. Ashburn observed it was midnight in LA, thus 3:00 am on the East Coast, and, if anyone was still listening (the Phils were way behind) they must be "red-hot Phillies fans". Love the cynicism. My Dad was proud. Admittedly, far too random to make a good file for the game. But too good not to pass on. Ashburn was great.

I also believe that you will need reload the englishVOG.html after each game patch and update. The englishVOG.html file must be renamed english.html to properly work within the game.

Do you mean english.xml?

[beepollen]

xml, yes.

Same here. I've never messed with a pbp file. But if a player makes an unusual number of errors in a game, can you drop Harry's "He's turned his life around. He used to be depressed and miserable. Now he's miserable and depressed"?
