What the…I have no idea of what happened, let me fix this.
Nice ideas but you have to remember you only have a few characters to write in your article. How can you fill all those option in with so lillte characters available? And you have to remember that they have to be for every team and every result.
These are already there, check the announchment topic;
- Winning/losing manager’s names.
- Winning/losing team’s country.
yeah got that to in firefox 3.0
nah, the strongest species survives, money rule the globe, and world domination lays ahead…. :P
The opportunities to make income are there for everyone to take. Some teams get richer because of better management and that’s about it. And I do think if managers stick to a few principles, then all managers can make money one way or another. When I first rejoined the game almost 5 seasons ago, the market seemed over inflated and rather stagnant in term of transactions dynamic, but with time…and a bit of patience…I have managed to find great deals.
The biggest problem, from what I have noticed, is that half the managers don’t yet grasp the growth system in this game, because they are either don’t bother to read the forums, or are too lazy to as questions.
how about a salary cap
thats what world elite soccer did.
Hi,
Great work with putting together the newspaper article screen, this should make it really easy for everyone to put together some fun articles.
On the draw scenario there appears to be an option missing for an expected draw. The current options only allow for a draw when one of the teams were expected to win. It would also be nice to differentiate between a score draw (e.g. 1-1, 2-2) and a no-score draw (ie. 0-0).
You could also pick out key events, so you could write an article about a player being red carded or injured maybe.
It might also be useful to be able to pick a certain type of match, so that people could write a report specifically for a Champion’s League game, rather than having to make it general enough to apply to all types of match.
Some suggestions for new variables to improve the customisation:
- Winning/losing manager’s names.
- Winning/losing team’s country.
- Player names. For example By selecting winning team player number 1, you would be able to use the goalkeeper’s name.
- Winning/losing team’s number of goals scored in the first half, 2nd half and in total.
- Winning goalscorer’s name.
- Winning/losing team’s shirt colours (could be used to describe players or fans)
- Random number of minutes, to allow some variety on “X event happened on 72 minutes”
I can’t wait to see the newspaper come together!
cheers,
Neil.
the latest one is really cool…
they have shifted abnormally off their place… or is it just my eye… wait let me refresh:)
yes confirmed, they have shifted off their own countries:)
portugal is in sea now and spain is in portugal, netherlands is in england:P
Totally agree. But first we have to completely stablish what we already have.
thanks for reporting. you were right, I was restarting the server.
cheers!
The following error has occured a lot of times.,… may be u guys were restarting the server… just to inform u
esp after turn 102 in MT.

At the moment i have 3 players injured in MT and 1 currently in FT.
If i may, i think the newspaper would be alot more interesting if there where interviews in them a.s.a.p..
Injury comes from what the oppenent do against you, like hard tackling. If they do hard tackling you have a higher chance to get injured. Frequency looks good to me, only had 1 this season for 6 ticks.
Is it just me or everyone else notices that frequency of injuries have gone up. ( even with normal tackling) and players with stamina over 90… more than 8 injuries this season itself… and in MT turn 102, 2 players injured in one league game:( . this is the second time i have had to play with 10 men due to injury.
this is not a complain… just trying to know if other teams also have seen similar trends…
Nirabdha, we have many types of article planned. My choice when implementing was to first implement the one I thought was the most important. But now that we have a full structure behind the newspaper it will be easy and fast to start adding more types.
use %{match.man_of_the_match.name} for now
what would the tag be for man of the Match? (MOM)
As soon as we have enough match results articles to launch the newspaper we’ll start adding more categories ;)
now need to recorrect that article again:)
i think more types ( just match result is not enough)… may be some analyisis and other type options should also be provided
By the way, don’t think we wasted our time with this new mailing editor, we got this free functionality from another website, it was just a matter of adding a few lines of code so we won’t be sad if we don’t use it.
Few posts from the admins only thread about new mailing editor :
Sly – I prefer very simple mailing. This just suxx
Philipp Leibeck – thanks for the effort, though for ingame mailing a plain notepad is enough imo. the new version has a lot to offer, but is not necessary/adequate.
Vaughn – rather see a simple friends list to choose from :)
I personally think it’s unnecessary, but we decided to give it a try ;)
When I said %{match.winner_team.manager.name}, please read %{match.winner_team.manager_name}
I guess Nirabdha was refering to www.linode.com, our ISP address. The links Danilo listed are a good way to know if we are experiencing any kind of trouble. Twitter should be the best option, we’ll try to always inform you guys there if the site has problems.
GREAT PLAYER, BOOST THE NEW LEAGUES WITH THE OLD ZORROS FROM THE SPANISH LEAGUE.
CHEAP AS EVER YOU CAN IMAGINE, BUILD UP SUCCESS NOT JUST A TEAM, BUY CHEAP GROW BIG.
YOU WILL NOT BUY ANY BETTER. THEY MAKE GETAFE BIG, NOW IS YOUR TURN!!!!!!
LO TIRA EL GETA, JODER QUE PRECIOS!!!!!!!
GETAFE, Michel vete ya!!!!!
The idea here is to have a good library of templates to generate interesting and unique newspapers, each turn. This stage of maturity will take a while to be achieved, but I think the result will be nice! For now, as you already know, we only have articles talking about match results. But the plan is to have many types of articles, in future! We already have a doc describing a few more of them.
twitter.com/rubysoccer or rubysoccer.blogspot.com … Those are our best options.
Ignore mine i thought you wanted individual articles :) you meant generalised right? i should read more carefully
danilo, what was that site addres u gave earlier to check, when RS was not working (that was i guess your ISPs address)… seems it is not in my favourite list… once more:)
@Nirabdha: you almost got it right…it is %{match.winner_team.manager.name}
