I hate to bump a thread that seems to not be generating much interest, but since I finished what I'd wanted to get done, I figger I'd give it its own post:

 

http://sharebee.com/1ac865ad - Feud Calculator - Version 1.0

 

Drop down box at the bottom filters feuds (selects one of the participants);

Saves to wherever you want (Got that one after a really depressing mere 5 minutes of googling at 2:30 am last night);

 

I am not sure if adding importing from TEW2010 save files is worth the 5-6 hours of messing with hex files, but if I thought anyone would give a damn, I'm 90% sure I could do it... 80%. Assuming Adam and GDS didn't come down on my head.

I'm working on a fix for this.

 

It boils down to, you don't have some DLLs that the program needs. This is probably something a real programmer would know how to use, but as it stands I have to do some googling.

 

If you want a quick fix, the simplest is this:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en Download that, it's the Visual C++ Runtime files, which should (I'm told) make it work. I haven't been able to try it because all my computers have Visual C++ installed.

 

However, if you're not into that sort of thing (installing DLLs) I'm working on finding a real solution.

 

EDIT: I looked into it. I've got 3 options:

  • Stick with the Microsoft distribution above
  • Rewrite the whole thing, after a day or two of reading on how exactly one makes Windows forms without using the CLR (which is what's giving me trouble now), or
  • Make a whole big installer, which seems ridiculous to me, considering that it's a 1MB program that doesn't really do all that much.

 

Any input on which you guys think is best, would be appreciated. Obviously, I'll be working on option #2 behind the scenes, but barring a breakthrough there.

Damn. Could you try this: http://sharebee.com/ed13cc9d

 

I'm reasonably sure that I made the mistake of putting out the Debug version, instead of compiling it as a Release version. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, that can cause problems. I can't guarantee that'll fix it. But I'm hoping... Plus it's way smaller for some reason. I really can't say why.

 

In other news, I looked into the save file importing. It's a little more trouble than I thought it'd be, but if I can muster the effort to spend the week or two (or less... when I do things, I can get obsessive) to really get every piece of data I need, I could PROBABLY do it. It's really annoying to import the data by hand so I think I should! :p

That's a result of not having the right .NET support.

 

Relatedly, Microsoft is pissing me off with all their "gotchas" to get their "super convenient" features working.

 

"Oh, try this .NET thing! It's so convenient! It'll run on any (windows, but that's Microsoft) system, cause we made it soooo convenient! Except they have to install a ton of ****."

 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en Should fix that. Or so I'm told. I'd love to be able to guarantee it, but I'm really feeling too burned by the constant problems (not your guys' fault at all) to make such a claim.

No. It takes 2 things into account, as of now: Turn (If you try putting in 2 heels, for instance, and then hit "get feuds" (or "export") the Feuds list will be empty), and Style. I made a few guesses as to what styles go together.

 

I also had some inkling of adding in a feature that you had to be within 1 "push" level of each other, but I don't think that's in now that I think of it.

 

EDIT: I lied. I put it in. Took a few seconds. Added the new link in the first post. Which I took all of like a minute to re-write.

 

EDIT 2: I don't know yet how it would work to import .tw0 files. With that said, it's inconvenient to use this tool. So naturally, I have to improve it in other ways while I pick through the important save file bits. And one of the things I wanted to add from the beginning, but couldn't find the information to get -- "Max length" for feuds. Which is not so much to say, "2 shows" or whatever, but if you have a lower midcard feud, the match will suffer if it's longer than 12-odd minutes (according to this list I just done found) so the fact that your worker's got B stamina and can keep wrestling for days doesn't really matter; On the other hand, a Main Event feud where one of them has like, D momentum will mean only 6 minute matches, and that's worth noting.

 

EDIT 3: I'm really good at editing. It's so subtle, too!

...

...

Added Max Time to "Feud" worksheet. Also fixed a bug where feuds above the worker's current push weren't recognized.

 

EDIT 4: Working on adding save game importing. At this rate, I give it about a week. Maybe less, since everything seems to slip into place when I'm least expecting it, but maybe more.

 

EDIT NUMBER A BILLION: I lied. A week was way, way, way way way over-estimating. Currently working out some kinks in the stat lists; It currently tells me that in my GCG game, Samoan Machine has 238 (!) Brawling skill, for instance.

Again, feels like bumping. Finished imports. As usual, 90% of problems hilarious oversights on my part.

 

NOTE -- This is something that's out of my control: You have to run this in administrator mode if you want to import files from your Program Files directory. I've been avoiding this so I can run it in Debug mode by copying the 3 important save files (001.tw0, 002.tw0, and 003.tw0) to my personal folder (Nathan in my case, since that's my username. And name. But yours might be Goober, Johan, or whatever), which allows the program to be run out of administrator mode. First post will be updated toute suite.

 

It's worth noting that some (note: Not most, definitely not all) workers tend to get mixed up. For instance, for whatever reason, Toshiharu Hyobanshi's stats are ACTUALLY the stats of Yatsuhiro Atsushi. I'm working on a fix to this, but it doesn't seem to effect too many workers, so it shouldn't be too big a deal until I get it fixed. fixed

Hey,

 

I'm sorry that you haven't had much positive response, because it is deserved (even more so if you didn't use sharebee).

 

As for the app, seems like a good alternative if you don't have Excel installed so i'd recommend for that. I don't understand the fued section but will re-read this thread to see if it becomes clearer.

 

Otherwise what I feel it needs and the reason I downloaded it was to find out the current workers momentum, if you can add that it would be great.

 

Thanks for your hard work!

I'm sorry, I just use Sharebee because I don't have a "proper" host. So, Kenwyne, I'm sorry it's shady, that's never happened to me so I didn't know. I apologize sincerely.

 

Is there one that's preferred, before I jump in headfirst into uploading someplace else that's widely disliked? (It's worth noting, I don't have any premium accounts anywhere, or anything like that)

 

---

 

@BiggN: I'll have a look for Momentum. I have some vague ideas about where it's probably at in the save data. It's not gotten any positive reviews cause nobody (until you, then I got some more since -- Hi guys!) posted anything since I got the most important feature working. Oh. And cause all the features that WERE in it were broken. That was probably part of it too.

 

---

 

Another 2 quick notes. In case you guys didn't notice, I add to my posts a lot...

 

Anyways. It's getting kinda late here, but I'll add more complete notes on exactly... what this... DOES tomorrow morning. A lot of it's silly stuff, really.

 

Secondly, I found the exact bits I'd have to read to get Momentum. The only thing I'm not 100% on is how convenient it's gonna be to connsistently read "Not Yet Assigned" results.

Good work on this Linsolv. I would try it but I've been having ridiculous problems with Netframeowrk lately and an MMO I'm in BETA for. I can't risk messing up the game again but I'll definitely give this a whirl in the near future.

 

Just wanted to say your hard work is appreciated! :) Apps like this for people like myself (computer illiterate) are a huge help.

Hey, can you upload this to a different site? The one you're currently using wants me to give some surveyer my personal details. No, thanks.

 

Actually, it doesn't

You are clicking on the wrong link.

 

Instead of clicking on the big "download" button which is just BS advertisement designed to annoy you... click on one of the links under that for Rapidshare, FileFront or whatever else its using these days.

Questions - Confusion

 

I must be missing something here on how this works. Could you explain what I am seeing?

 

I have the correct promotion, so I see there is a data window on the left and right and a drop down menu at the bottom. At this point should I be selecting a worker from the drop down? If I do what does the left and right data windows tell me? Should I be selecting workers from those windows? If I do an export I get one sheet with workers and times and another with workers vs other workers and times. What is this telling me?

 

Thanks.

mcorey -- Read the first post again, I updated it with the information you asked for.

 

Genadi -- I doubt you're computer illiterate if you can fix problems with MS's stupid .NET framework. Heck, it took me a day or so to figure out that could be a problem for people.

 

Honestly, I'd much rather be programming this in any number of languages I think are way more fun than VC++, but I'm not clever enough to figure out windows. Not the OS, the popup dialog things. SO I have to use noob tools.
