FOF Version 6.1 Upgrade/Patch Released.

[Guest]

If they don't, hell, its their loss, IMO. Is there really a way to tell if someone has or hasn't updated on your end, Aaron?

In all likelihood, no, he won't even be able to tell.

I recall reading on something that it recommended you do it just before or after TC...

Unless there's a drastic change, it really won't matter if everyone upgrades--just you on the commish machine. Once the commish machine upgrades, the sims are run on the version on that machine. Not upgrading for an individual would just mean that they don't get to see the updated combines, etc.

Ok let me see if I have this straight. So if I upgrade everyone else has to? If I dont upgrade, it wont have any affect on the sims.

Well, i updated already. It does wonders with combine results.

Nah. You are the only one who has to if we want to see the effects of the update. Whether one or all of us does is irrelevant, as long as you do.

Not quite.

• We will see the visual/cosmetic effects of the update (combine numbers, less scout error) ONLY if we update on our personal machines.
• We will see the effects of the under-the-hood stuff (defenses used better, for example) ONLY if the commish updates. The commish machine impacts the sims that are run.
• We can submit a 6.0e export, and it will work on 6.1 (if this works like in the past).
• We can submit a 6.1 export, and it will work on 6.0e (if this works like in the past).

Yea I know. I was just was saying if Aaron updates, we are good as league to get the new "under the hood" adjustments. Whether GM's update or not is their decision if they want to see the new cosmetic adjustments, although I deem the combine update more than comsetic.

Hey Skydog,

Do you know if the double team has been fixed, I've got a game coming up in my other league that this is necessary to know.

No idea. I haven't looked at any pbp stuff yet.

Maybe I fucked something up, but the picture files seem to be messed up (OSFL Logo on the player info screens for draftees, no team logos on player screens, etc).

I downloaded the Universe files, thinking that was it, but it wasn't.

What did I do wrong? :(

[Guest]

Nothing wrong. Jim's patches since November 2003 have been complete full installs. As a result, it overwrites picture files in the default game directories. You'll have to re-download ours.

Gotcha.

Thanks, SkyDog!

I still think I need to migrate those over. I'll do so tomorrow.

Ok, I have some beef with this patch.

Prior to patching, I intended to renegotiate Martin Cothran's contract this sim and he demanded a contract worth $44M over 5 years. Now that I've patched, Cothran suddenly wants $51M over 5 years.

I guess it's just too late now and I'm screwed out of the money? Imho, it's kind of ridiculous to make this change in week 6 of the offseason, when teams have already figured out their available cap space and are still in the process of renegotiating players and signing free agents. And the fact that it's undocumented in the patch notes is even more frustrating.

I'd really like to see tonight's sim delayed and this patch rolled back until after the offseason or following the draft. It's really not fair to do this now if it affects player contract demands.
