Might as well start the next page.
Getting too many errors myself, I'll attempt a redownload because I probably typoed a line in settings.ini |

1. If you want the schedule generator to attempt to plug away until it finds a working schedule, change 'auto_retry=false' to 'auto_retry=true'. (Going forward, I'm going to refer to operations like this one as 'setting auto_retry to true'.) 2. Under the general heading, set interleague and balanced to the desired settings. (Note that these settings don't change what the scheduler does, just what it writes to the file. Your settings in-game will have to match.) 3. Under the general heading, set the league structure. You can find a description of the format at this link: Out of the Park Developments Online Manuals 4. Under the divisional-series, subleague-series, and interleague-series headings, set the preferred series length for each kind of opponent, and the minimum number of series. (Currently, the minimum number of series is two.) The scheduler will schedule as many series of the preferred length as possible against each opponent, scheduling one shorter series to make up any shortfall against the desired numbers. 5. Under the break heading, set up the break days. If you aren't using week-aware mode, just set the first three options (break_days, all_star_percentage, and all_star_length). Note that some break days are required, because I still haven't quite worked out how to do perfectly compact schedules. 6. If you want to use week-aware scheduling, remove the semicolons in front of 'all_star_day_of_week', 'start_day_of_week', and 'off_days_of_week'. Set them accordingly. Note that you'll still need regular break days to help the scheduler fit everything in, and week-aware mode takes significantly longer to assemble a schedule. 7. Set up the length of the schedule under the schedule heading. The numbers you give are the number of games each team will play against a certain class of opponent. The scheduler may adjust these upward if it can't figure out how to fit opposing teams to games. 8. Set up the intra-day scheduling of games under the time heading. Games will be scheduled to start between first_start and last_start, on the hours and half-hours plus start_offset (e.g. with the settings in settings.ini, games will be scheduled between 1105 and 2105, including at times like 1735). simultaneous_games controls the number of games which will start at the same time. Other games will start in the next slot. |

Downloaded v1.4 (and its fresh settings.ini) - let's see if that fixes the issue.

If you have older settings files that aren't working, it's good to compare them with the most recently-released files. I haven't really been trying to build in much backwards compatibility as regards changes to the settings files.

If you post your settings file here, I can take a look at it. You can also open a command prompt and run the batch file inside it, which should force the window to remain open so you can see the error text. I can have a look at that, too, to fix any potential bug. |

Thanks. I'll have a look at it later today.

I'm using a schedule made by this utility, and it's pretty good. A couple things, though:
The number of games played by each team varies wildly. Going into late May of a 162-game schedule, some teams have played as little as 34 games, while some have played in 45. I know I set this to have an "unbalanced" schedule, so did that make a difference in making the schedule? Because of this, some teams have stretches where they don't have a break for more than a month at some points. What could I do as a user to remedy this in future schedules I make with this utility? This is something I'm keeping a close eye on, since I like the idea of a schedule generator that generates games at different times, and not just a set time like the in-box OOTP schedules. |

"Unbalanced" refers to games vs. each opponent, not necessarily total games. However, with so many off days in this season, a large range in games played is common with the generator.

Hi Fishbreath. I like the tool, but i'm having issues with off days bunching up. Is there anything I can do to mitigate that?
I'm messing around with a 32 team league with 2 sub leagues divided into 2 8 team divisions each. I'm trying to make each team play 4 3 game series against each of their 7 division opponents for a total of 84 divisional games. They also play 2 3 game series against each of their out of division opponents for a total of 48 out of division games. They play no interleague, so that's a total of 132 games. I then put in 16 days of breaks. The breaks seem to bunch up so that a team will be off for 3 or 4 days at a time, then will end up with an entire month with no break. What am I doing to cause this? |

One of my other personal code projects is relatively settled right now, and another will be cooling down for a little while in the next month or so. I hope to revisit the scheduler and make some improvements toward the end of March, which should help to pack schedules more tightly where desired, and spread off days around more evenly. I hope to write it to look at the schedule from a more time-first perspective, starting at opening day and building series by series, rather than starting with the opponent a team needs to play the most, then attempting to distribute games against that opponent evenly within the season. |

Trying to get a handle on how this works. Before I dig to deep could it handle a schedule of this type?
Every team plays 18 games against everyone in its own division: 72 games Every team plays 6 games against everyone else in its league: 60 games Every team plays 6 games against every team in a division in the other league: 30 game Total = 162 Basically you get a home and home with every other team Only thing is I need 3 versions of this schedule. Where the inter league division you play is rotated similar to the NFL. For example one year the AL East plays the NL East, the next the NL Central, and the one after the NL West. If you could jumble up each of the 3 versions a little to give it a little variety that would be nice. I would like an All-star break and dates to closely resemble today's MLB. Any help would be much appreciated

The generator can't do "this division plays that division", unfortunately.

I created three different versions for the schedule request above. See this post:
