I have questions, I need lots of help with!

Post by Redspade »

I am wanting to spectate some games that are being played on fumbbl, I have tried reading anything on this subject but I cannot find anything that gives info on how to spectate specifically. Another question is that I was told that Christer's Replayer is at replayer.fumbbl.com, I have tried this address and nothing shows up. Also something else I trying to find out about is the auto updateer for the team list, most people say you can find it in a results file. My javabb game does not have a results file am I supposed to make one.

I appreciate any help I can get with this, I am trying to run a league of 16 teams and anythiing that helps speed that up would be helpful.

I think these people are saying you can find the updated roster file in the "results" directory. The updated roster will be named "<teamname>.html" in the "results" directory under the main game folder.

SkiJunkie - I have tried looking everywhere for the results folder, the only thing that I see is endgame.tpl or roster tpl I do not see anything that results or team name. Another thing is I have downloaded all of your patches and unzipped them into the file and replaced all files but my javabb still says 5.1 and finally yesterday I got to see all the different pitches. It changed weather every kickoff.

It sounds like maybe you are not preserving the directory stucture when you unzip. You need to make sure your unzip program has what ever setting is necessary to preserve the directory structure within the zip file.

Now it is possible that the "results" folder will not show up until you finish a game and it writes the results files. At this time, it will create a results folder if one does not exist.

Also, you don't need all of the patches. You only need the full 5.0 download and the latest patch (5.7d). Well, I think you need the 5.1 patch to get the weather pitches. So you should unzip the 5.0 download first. At this point there should be several directories under the folder you unzipped to. There should be a "pics" directory, and a "sounds", and a "teams". If these are NOT there you are not unzipping and preserving the directory structure. Now unzip patch 5.1 (if you want the weather fields). After that the game will say 5.1 if you run it. Now unzip 5.7d. It should now say 5.7d when you run it.

5.0 didn't have the weather fields. You can download the pitches seperately, if you want ones with dots. Then you don't need 5.1.

If you are still wanting to check out game replays, you will now have a lot more to go through. As of now, fumbbl.com stores replays of each of the over 300 games per day played, so you can look at current match reports, view players comments on them, and watch a replay of any game that might look like it was interesting.
