This is quite a different patch list than the first patch list for the 2006 version...and that's a good thing.

phenom · 03-27-2007, 07:17 AM

Personally, I hope you DON'T fix the mutant, demon facegen "issue".

outstanding. thank you.

PotatoPeeler · 03-27-2007, 09:08 AM

What about this bug (if it is indeed a bug): http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=142578

Any word on when this might be fixed? I haven't been able to run a 1901 to 2007 historical sim yet because of this.

novamustangs · 03-27-2007, 10:17 AM

Is there anyway the park modification pages can be changed to..

a) list parks in alphabetical order and league order on the pull down menu, right now they seem to be listed by league order only, if even that
b) give us some sort of menu or dialog box to choose a park graphic file instead of having to type in the file name
c) fix the fact that the enter key doesn't do anything when changing the 2B and 3B park factors

Just a suggestion.

BigCity · 03-27-2007, 11:14 AM

Two things I ran across in my replay - hopefully easy...

1. When simulating multiple years and the special award turned on, the game doesn't stop and ask you to name the award.

2. It would REALLY be nice to have a trade report (trades only) that would show some extra info, like star ratings.

Both of these are small, and could certainly wait till next year - but it sure would be nice......

wouldn't that stop the sim at the end of every year?!? I'd hate to start a 50 year sim the night before only to find out it stopped at the end of year 1 the next morning...

I had a AAA player get injured (the guy who was hit by a coyote, incidentally), and the news article made it sound like he was on the major league club, when he's not. Not a big deal, but...

First patch to be released only two weeks after the game itself? Now, that's service!

How do you get hit by a coyote? Bit by a coyote, maybe.

Dunno. But the guy's contract has a clause that specifically prohibits Coyote Boxing, so that might be a clue.

Man, if I go back home and find out I misread that news article, I'm going to be disappointed.

Then I'm going to edit it!

If I remember my Saturday morning cartoons, coyotes are terrible drivers. So, I could believe hit by coyote...

Could be a text error, but…

That coyote is really a crazy clown/
When will you learn that you never can slow him down?

Maybe the coyote was riding an Acme@ rocket at the time?

Yeah. Ultimately, I conceive of this award - and ideally a couple more of them - being one for which we can define parameters and the process will become automated.

If you wanted to sim without stopping, all you'd have to do is turn the special award off.
