Attempting to use 'real-life lineups'

feeds@yuku.com (iverson3ai) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:48:08 GMT

When replaying the 1994 season, I am attempting to use 'real-life lineups' but I continue to get this message for a number of teams:

"Unable to load real-life lineup for 1994 ______. One or more lineup positions are empty."

However, when I go look at the team's manager profile, the lineups are filled and things seem to be just fine.

Trilogy and Windows 7

feeds@yuku.com (jim255) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:28:30 GMT

Thanks to David I eliminated the Invalid Argument error message on my new Windows 7 laptop by installing the version C patch that I thought was in place but wasn't. New problem: I've only played a few games but have noticed that results I know occurred (at-bats against various pitchers) have not registered in the batter-pitcher matchups of the Score area of Trilogy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, jim255

Replaying 1994...

feeds@yuku.com (iverson3ai) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:26:43 GMT

Just a quick question:

I am replaying 1994, which everyone knows was shortened due to a strike. I was playing around with some things tonight and saw that it listed only '117' games for the teams...and when I went to the schedule, it did not list games beyond August 11th, 1994.

However, I want to replay the entire season as if there was never a strike. How can I do this?

Thanks!

Transferring Old seasons from old PC

feeds@yuku.com (copegjc15) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:13:32 GMT

Hi all,

I have a question. My PC crashed and I had to get a new computer. I had previous seasons that I never got to create an "export database file" for. The data on my old PC was recovered. I re-installed DMB 9c on my new computer. However, I can't figure out how to get my previous seasons that was recovered from my old PC to actually show up in DMB. Any ideas?

problem with netplay guest

feeds@yuku.com (WWBA) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:53:52 GMT

I have worked through many netplay problems, all of them on the hosts side. Until last night I had never seen an issue with the guest. A friend of mine using a DSL modem and a vonage router is able to connect to me and we can play the game if he is the visitor and I am the home team (ie; I make the first move choosing pitch selection and defense). However if he is the home team I get the game screen with the red light waiting for him to make the pitch but he gets sent back to the default...

Invalid Argument error message - Windows 7

feeds@yuku.com (jim255) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:03:36 GMT

I just bought a Windows 7 laptop and have only encountered one problem when playing Diamond Mind: If I click on the Box Score tab during a game, an Invalid Argument error message pops up and won't go away no matter what I do. It also pops up occasionally when trying to pull up a box score from a completed game, but at least in that instance, I can close the error message box.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Netplay Game Initialization Failure

feeds@yuku.com (gordianus) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:31:42 GMT

Here's the situation:

I pieced together how to get the connection going from different forum threads and we are able to establish a connection. I have been able to send chat messages to the connecting manager. We have loaded the same database, we have the same game version number 9C of the game, and we are both using an XP operating system. After getting the comnnection established, I start up the scheduled game. The game displays the manager controls window and then after...

"Unable to find DMB files at location:"

feeds@yuku.com (nemodomi) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:09:15 GMT

Similar to a problem discussed in this thread, suddenly I'm getting the infamous "Unable to find DMB files at location:" error when starting up DMB.

It appears that DMB is now looking in a wrong location for my DMB databases, because, when I select "Add reference to existing database ...", I get this:

feeds@yuku.com (delatopia) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:56:52 GMT

They just popped up one day during some kind of transfer or DB install. Not sure where they came from; is there a way of getting rid of them? They don't appear anywhere else that I can see.

Netplay Question

feeds@yuku.com (gordianus) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:27:17 GMT

Do both netplay managers have to have a gaming port open on their respective router's firewall? Or does only the host need to have the port open? And if both players need it open, must it be the same port number on both routers?

Playing our SSL playoffs last weekend, we were not able to get the netplay to work and finally had to meet face to face to play them. I have more playoffs this weekend and would really like to be able to use the netplay feature as there is about 800+...

Can't delete bad schedule

feeds@yuku.com (joelee) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:32:27 GMT

I made the mistake of creating an Organization schedule (which has no teams), then realized my mistake and generated a valid league schedule. I have only one league in the organization with no divisions, 10 teams, and 162 games. I apparently attempted to start the season using the erroneous organization schedule and got an error message telling me there were not enough teams. Now I am trying to delete that schedule and use the league schedule. But I get a message saying the organization one...

I autoplayed Apr4 with no problems, then when I autoplayed the 5th it did the first 4 games and then I got an error box "The computer manager was unable to choose a starting lineup for the next game." I autoplayed the subsequent games (Min/KC and Bos/Mil) with no problems, went in to try to play the Det/Bal game selecting the computer to play both sides it gives the weather report and then when I click ok it does nothing - back to the main screen. ...

Games not in export list?

feeds@yuku.com (edge6766) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 09:47:35 GMT

Hello,

I just played 4 post seasons games vs an h2h opponent. When I went to export the games to send them to the commish the games results are not listed. No games are. I chose export statistics, chose our two teams, on the next screen it says "no game accounts". The games are in the system. I can run post season reports and see the stats. The post season standing show the results.

What am I doing wrong?

Unable to Open DMBSGM File when Deleting Players from Database

feeds@yuku.com (Blumer) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:03:47 GMT

I am attempting to delete players from one of my databases. The players were fictional players created with a UID of "-1". I can delete one player. When I attempt to delete a second player, I get the pop up error message "Unable to Open DMBSGM File". When a attempt to delete the second player a second time, DMB crashes. Rebuilding the database index has no impact.

Suggestions?

What are ".xga" files; are they even valid ?

feeds@yuku.com (Shoboat1) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:26:13 GMT

One of my league members had a problem retreiving a boxscore. In looking within the database folder I saw the boxscore files I expected (ending in .box ).

However, I also saw several instances of what appeared to be a duplicate file but ending in ".xga". The ".box" file is readable by wordpad; the .xga file just contains gibberish which tells me it's been saved in another format.

Anyone else run across these before ?

Thanks,

Steve

I am trying to post total plate appearances (sim & real) along with PT% in the "Saved lineup" tab of the MPROST.DSR file. I have input the lines below.

The first two work, but the PT% is incorrect somewhere. Does anyone know the correct syntax to display the PT%. I have managed to...

Help, help with NetPlay!!! URGENT

I'm playing Game 1 of my first-round playoff series with a manager that's in the San Fran airport waiting for a red-eye flight back to Texas. We're hung up. He's hosting and has a green light, though nothing is happening on his end. When he tries to save the game and exit, it tells him he can't do that when a play is in progress. Apparently, we had this happen last year during the playoffs and the game was lost. That one, though, was in the 8th inning. We're only in...

Ongoing Problem Starting/Opening DMB

feeds@yuku.com (Jeff in Western WA) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 10:34:02 GMT

This problem seems ongoing but, getting worse: DMB 9c, it plays fine- though I noticed lately some "delays" longer than usual in PBP text I think, but, overall game works well, it's "exempt" from my AVG Free 8.5 AntiVirus scanner. In fact DMB Telephone tech support helped me install it when I purchased this computer in 2008. Dell Inspiron, 3GB RAM, Windows Vista, properly updated with patches.

Lately, possibly as the current played season goes further and...
