Please Help Save My Long-running Dynasty League

Eugene Church · 03-05-2024, 12:33 PM

HELP!
HELP!
HELP!

In 2008, 16 years ago I began the Islandian Pro Alliance and have recapped it on the OOTP Dynasty Forum for all those years... I have played 78 seasons over that time... I would really like to get to 100 years and retire the dynasty... I would also like to reach 1 million views... it is nearing 800,000 today.

Really hate to lose it.

I hope you OOTP expert gamers will help save my IPA.

Problem: AI did not schedule the playoffs... playoffs were not listed in the League Events.

I put Playoffs Begin in manually in the League Events and created a new begin date... it did not create a playoff schedule, so I manually created the first round of the playoffs and played the games... the game played, but there is no mention of the Playoff Tree or Playoff Coverage... the playoff stats for each team is not present.

And the AI did not schedule the second round of the playoffs.
I stopped there and hope some of you can solve my problem.
I use Custom Playoffs and that part is done correctly, I think.... it looks like the proper info is in the customization.

Where is the problem and how can it be solved?

Please help save my Islandian Pro Alliance.

Any chance you can post a quickstart? I think that would be the best way for some of us to try and play around to see what's happening

Sorry, ayaghmour2, I don't know how to post a quickstart.

I am not very literate as far as my OOTP knowledge is concerned... not very good with computer technology.

I'll be glad to try and post a quickstart, if you can tell me in detail how to do it.... keep in mind, I am not an IT guy.

Once you are in game:
File > Quickstart Games > Save Current Game as Quickstart

The harder part might be sharing it. Have you used google drive?

Yes, I can give you the link on Google Drive... I just posted the league folder for two people who offered to look at the folder and see what they can figure out.

If you want that link to Google Drive, I will send it to you in a PM.

Let me know.

I hope that your league will be fixed soon, Eugene.

Hope so, too. ChromEagle... thank you for your support.

I have asked God to help me... never thought I would be praying for something like a fictional league dynasty about a world that doesn't exist.

Yeah, buddy... that's a weird prayer, ain't it?

Eugene Church · 03-06-2024, 11:38 AM

Great News!

Ktulu downloaded my league and checked it out... he played out the playoffs and everything went well... the history of the season was posted properly... there were a few items that puzzled him... the playoff schedule mainly... but the AI apparently overcame the glitches and finished the season with no errors in the history.

My eternal thanks to Ktulu for doing this.

You da man, Ktulu!

Westheim · 03-06-2024, 11:56 AM

All hail Ktulu!

ChromEagle · 03-06-2024, 11:58 AM

That's fantastic! God heard your prayers, Eugene.

I know the anxiety, even if it's just the game taking a bit long to process January 1 f.e., in a save that's this old (mine's from 2012)

Great to hear! Glad someone was able to get it fixed before I had a chance too. The community tends to lend a hand when needed

Hey, folks... Westheim has one the all-time best dynasty reports on the forum... it is well-written with humor and is very well done.

If you've never read it... you are missing out.

Check out the story of his historic Portland Raccoons today.

Oh please, Eugene, you're making me blush.

As old Diz once said, "It ain't braggin' if you can do it!"

And Westheim, "You've been doin' well for years now!"

(Note for you young 'uns: that was a quote from Dizzy Dean, the great Cardinal pitcher of the 1930s... he was telling the sportswriters how great he was)

Thanks to Ktulu, the 2079 IPA Pro Cup playoffs will begin.

I can't believe this has been going on since last September... about 7 long, tedious months... unbelievable... I'm SOOOO glad I didn't give up... now at least EC has a chance to reach 100 seasons and just maybe get 1 million viewers.

Sorry for all the delay... I know you are sick and tired of the back-and-forth trying to solve the problem.
I'm afraid it has run off over 200 viewers... my views have dropped from 300 a day to 75 a day.
Hopefully, they will come back when the playoff coverage returns.

In the glitch, the playoff game to decide the Tycobbian North title had to be replayed and the Mahaska Haymakers won this time... White River won it before the glitch... oh, well, that's the way it goes... that's easy to live with as long as you don't live in White River.

I will repost the 2079 season recap and the season stats... then give a Pro Cup preview... the first-round playoff coverage will follow.
