Well, I printed the Game Guide and - when I had some free time over the last several days - I read it all. It boggles the mind how Markus could pack so much stuff into this game. I'm utterly amazed. I figured I'd read the manual, apply the first patch, and then get "down and dirty" with the game itself. So far, so good.

Thanks again for creating such a professional manual. By reading it, I learned so much about OOTPB . . . and some things I didn't really understand clearly about baseball before.

I have posted the first version of the Customization Guide. It's only got some of the topics covered so far. See the first post in this thread for more information.

There are also stickies in the Mods and Names/Nations forums, as well as the OOTP 2006 FAQ.

Enjoy!

So, battists, when do SI put you on the payroll?

D Love · 06-08-2006, 11:07 AM

Steve, may I suggest you list the date each document was last updated in the 1st post?

Since you said yesterday that you'd update the game guide to reflect the patch, I'm not sure whether that has been done by reading the 1st post.

The updated Game Guide has been posted (same link as in 1st post). Each document in that list has a version number near the top of the document, that can help you determine whether you have the latest version. I hope that helps.

The updated game guide still says version 1.0.

I downloaded from the link above that says version 1.1.

thanks for the great guide.

Fixed, sorry.

Just downloaded the file and it wouldn't unzip. Said it was an invalid file.

QuestGAV · 06-08-2006, 04:17 PM

ZipGenius didn't display any files inside the archive, DLing again to make sure it wasn't just the download but that seems unlikely if two of us are having trouble.

Cornelius McGillicuddy · 06-08-2006, 05:26 PM

just tried it again and the file is still invalid.

steady teddy · 06-08-2006, 06:26 PM

The file is invalid for me too.

HercMighty · 06-08-2006, 07:15 PM

Same here.

Cornelius McGillicuddy · 06-08-2006, 07:26 PM

Well that's it then. The file is invalid.

battists · 06-08-2006, 10:18 PM

Crud. Sorry folks. I need Marc Duffy to repost this, or someone at SI tomorrow.

So, if you're desperate and around for another few minutes, PM me and I can get it to you. If you can wait, please hang on until tomorrow.

On June 8th I downloaded the new game guide, but could not extract the zip file. The file seems to be corrupted.

battists · 06-09-2006, 08:22 AM

Should be fixed now, please try again. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Cornelius McGillicuddy · 06-09-2006, 12:22 PM

Steve, it's hard for me to read all that stuff on a computer screen so I'm printing the guide. I finished to page 230 when I had to stop and order more color ink. Could you please post the changes made prior to this page so I can print that also and add it to the end? Thanks, Rich.

I remember reading in the pre-release reports about a guide called "A day in the life of ..." for solo players, online players and commishes. Is that still being worked on?
