Nice "freaks and Geeks" Avatar That show is awesome!

Thanks bob! That show was awesome! Like every show I love, it gets cancelled. (Examples: Smith, Life With Bonnie, Arrested Development, Raines, Joan of Arcadia, etc.)

I'm pretty sure Same Weir was based on me.

P.S. We should totally start our own "Freaks and Geeks" Fan Club on here. Hahhaa!

I know it's no longer the morning but:

...I'm so glad Yankee4Life is back. He's really the glue that keeps this site together! Welcome back Yankee!

I don't know past history or what has occurred previously, but a merge between mvpmods and eamods could also take place. *ducks quickly*.

*duck quickly* and then RUN LIKE THE WIND!

I'm not attacking the reasons for charging, I'm peeved for two reasons

- I defended the site when TheSpungo started charging for a mod to the skin of my teeth, then less than a month later the site is doing the same thing (Different intentions yes, but from an outside viewpoint it's the same). It makes me feel like a hypocrite and has left me with a real sour taste in my mouth.

- I'm not classified as a modder because I haven't submitted a mod in time, despite working my tits off for the past four months trying to create a mod which will benefit this site when it is complete. Certain members who have submitted one CTS generated from a ready made template get this designation and thus get access to all tools (Which is all I really care about in the downloads section TBH).

Why don't you just subscribe?

Here is the face I am referring to:

She's saying, "I hate you. I want to live for my kids," to the Mantracker in this frame.

Mantracker? That guy wouldn't even need a horse to find me. I'd get five feet with my knees and then be caught.

With my possession of the world's worst directional sense, there'd be a greater chance for me to bump right into him than of him finding me.

EXTERIOR: A million kilometres from the plotted course, a desolate arctic desert.

Mantracker: Well no one one would have gone this far out, let's turn around.

Meanwhile, in a location so far out, no one would have considered anyone to have ventured there...

Dylan: Where am I? How do I...? Why am I lost as a lamb?!?! [Gulp.] Help!

I don't know if you watch Mantracker, but here is the premise of the show from Wikipedia:

The show's premise involves an expert tracker, known as "Mantracker," who pursues two individuals in the remote Canadian wilderness. The pursued must elude capture while attempting to reach a finish line within 36 hours. Mantracker never meets the team prior to the chase, nor does he know their destination. Travelling on horseback and aided by a local guide, Mantracker mostly relies on his well-honed tracking skills to trail them, although some equipment (such as regular and infrared binoculars) is also used. As stated by Grant in the show's introductory tagline, "Know your land. Know your prey."

The pair are two cousins from Nova Scotia, Rob and Michelle. This is the end to their particular episode. For some reason, Michelle it seems thinks that if she gets caught by Mantracker, she's going to be executed. I have never laughed so hard, Michelle's end-game face is priceless: Enjoy.

If you are seeing those crashes when you are trying to start a game, it sounds like a cyberface issue, namely that your roster reference a cyberface that is not in your models.big file.

That's just what I was going to say! You beat me to it, Jim.

Hey Andy, I don't know if you've seen it, but I updated my Defensive Rating Calculator to include an import/export feature. It might be of some use to you. As well, I plan on incorporating the feature into my other calculators as well.

Good luck with school!

KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(or in your case, PATSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I really don't know how to help you with the schedules man. All I can say is that it worked for me.

Haahah! Kind of like my avatar!

(Joe didn't notice until the sixth inning.)

Hey Andy!

I'm currently updating my split calculator to give much more accurate results. I don't know if you'd like to wait for that.

What ratings did Mike Lansing have?!?!?

From my experience, CPU sliders affect simming games. as does level (MVP, All-Star, Pro, etc.). That may have had an affect.

As for the scheduling, when I simmed through it, I got through the playoffs and managed to start the '99 season.

Yeah the only problem is that the game has been locking up when doing that as it asks for a non-existent team to optimize and doesn't allow it to happen.

Hmmm. I think your only other option is to fill each lineup in MVPEdit, making sure there are no empty spots.

Good luck Andy.

Hey Andy,

Yah, unfortunately for the schedule to work, each lineup has to be filled, including the minor leagues.

Just allow the game to "CPU Optimize Rosters," and then start your dynasty.

Hey Andy!

No problem!

I simmed it throught the season, and it worked fine for me. Make sure that all the rosters are filled, or it will crash.

Hey Andy, I don't know if you have already completed the schedule file. But I had a little free time on my hands, so here it is:

1998schedule.rar

The time of games might not be exactly correct, they're based on the Retrosheet.org schedule data.

It includes the '99 and 2000 seasons in it as well.

Also, I have yet to test it, so you may want to do so before releasing it the masses.

thanks for your advice DylanBradbury.

One other thing, if I wanted to create a uniform with numbers on the front of the jersey can I do that,

because there are empty slots for each team with no uniforms, correct?

Best bet, PM a Uniform Modder like RoyalBlues.

I've been using Kumala's Final datafile for a while now, but am having some trouble finding a good balance for pitching. I like to give up unintentional walks, but I don't want every CPU hit to be a homerun.

What sliders are you using for:

Pitch Meter Difficulty

and

User Pitch Control?

Thanks a lot in advance folks.

Does anybody know how to edit a datafile??

Unfortunately, you'll need a third-party Macro Recorder. The recorder in OpenOffice, and the one in Excel will not record things that are done outside the OpenOffice/Excel, which you'll need in this case to get the stats to my rating calculators.

No problem man! Good luck finding a good macro recorder.

i don't even know what a macro is

but i've thought about something like that. i would prefer a method that allows me to copy lines from baseball-reference.com into a spreadsheet and generate ratings that way. it's the least amount of steps i could think of. i have to take into consideration that i am doing this for 3250 different guys, so anything that can save me even a microsecond adds up quickly. plus it would be one way to make it consistent. the only issue i've come across (besides not know what a macro is) is that i was hoping to generate attributes from the two best seasons each guy has had. the issue is that i don't have splits for anyone before 1954.

i tried copy and paste from that site the other day, but the stats get all entered into one box. i know it can be done, but i just haven't had the time to figure out how to make it work yet.

Hey homer,

A macro is a set of instructions for a computer. A macro recorder is a piece of software that "records" user actions for "playback at a later time". More information can be found here.

So my idea would be to paste your stats in excel, record a macro that would copy them to my calculator, and paste them into a new spreadsheet.

Hopefully that makes sense. I PMed tebjr with details. Most Macro Recorders are either crappy, a virus, or expensive and good. The most popular is JitBit, but it's $40.

(To paste baseball reference data into excel: Right click on a cell > Paste Special... > Text > Click OK.)

Edit: I'm working on improving my split estimator. It might be a while, but it's looking good so far...

Sent you one back man.
