New Computer: Installing Version 9

feeds@yuku.com (lpcoop) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:17:37 GMT

Have just purchased a new Dell Inspiron 546 running Windows 7. Have the original Diamond Mind Version 9 game disk.

Pls advise how to install -- I have no instructions. Is there a wizard? Windows 7 is different.

Any help?

Tks.

Extended Postseason Schedule...

feeds@yuku.com (iverson3ai) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:25:27 GMT

Just me again.

I am, as you may know, replaying the 2009 postseason...and have completed the Division Series portion of the postseason and am now moving onto the League Championship Series.

My question - how do I generate the schedule for those games? I have some background, but I am not doing it accurately and the DMB disk does not generate the schedule for you beyond the Division...

Installing L/R splits

feeds@yuku.com (patrickjc) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:45:55 GMT

I just received Steve's fine upgraded 1964 L/R splits. I am having trouble importing them into the game. I opened the zip file, and extracted the files to my 1964 season folder, but that didn't seem to do anything.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Patrick

Generate Reports for Postseason

feeds@yuku.com (iverson3ai) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:17:54 GMT

I am currently replaying the 2009 MLB Postseason and noticed that I am having difficulty generating reports for team batting, batting leaders, team pitching, etc.

Is there a specific way to do this? I go through the routine that I thought worked, but nothing shows up.

Thanks in advance.

Changing Fielding Ratings, etc

feeds@yuku.com (tiger500) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:42:24 GMT

I want to change some fielding ratings - range, error rate, and Throwing Arm for OF & Catchers. My question is, just by changing the ratings Ex: Av to Vg - will this make the player automatically have more range or if throwing arm, better chance of throwing out runners during the course of season? Also, if I lower error rate Ex: 125 to 90 - will this theoretically lower the number of errors? Is this all I have to do??? Also, taking a step further, would this same logic apply to bunting,...

exporting transactions

feeds@yuku.com (WWBA) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:36:58 GMT

When you export stats the final tab is transactions. Can you not move players from one team to another using this or is it only to promote and demote players? My league only allows trades at the break so all of my transactions have always been included in an exported database so I've never really learned about this feature. I just sent out the database for my LCS round but I accidentally made a trade before doing so that shouldn't have been included. I thought I could send my league...

Using real transactions & lineups

feeds@yuku.com (lpcoop) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:42:45 GMT

I want to start a new replay of the 1946 American League using real lineups & transactions

I have set use real lineups & transactions under league rules
The real transaction report for 1946 data disk shows that all real transaction for 1946 are present
Team roster screen, however, shows active rosters more than 25 for each team
When I attempt to start the season and load the first game, both team rosters are larger than 25
I have properly restarted the...

Ballpark image sizes?

feeds@yuku.com (HomerJ) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:31:31 GMT

Not sure if this is the right sub section, but here goes. I have taken a lot of the colour images from spos site to use in my game as I dislike the plain green/black images of DMB. I have recently changed to a 19" monitor so the images as well at the DMB screen are significantly bigger than they were on my old 14" one. What is the best size to set the images too so I get a nice clear, no jagged edges image? I have got most at a minimum of 800x600. I can photoshop the images up to...

Trilogy Installation

feeds@yuku.com (Deadred) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:00:18 GMT

After downloading Trilogy onto my desktop, then placing it in the C:\dmb8 folder and extracting the contents of the zip file folder, I'm able to bring up "The Bridge" on my screen and view the contents of Base, Score, and Log Games; however, how do I access the weather, tunes, and attendance feature of Trilogy?

Playoff Question

feeds@yuku.com (jd1986) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:56:38 GMT

I have only one league, 8 teams make playoffs. Added division series games to schedule now when I import the results I have to do it game by game.
Any suggestions?

Can it do one player's stats vs. one team?

feeds@yuku.com (badandy86) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 23:58:03 GMT

I'm wanting to find out how a certain player did against a certain team. Is there a way to do that in the software, or would I have to go game-by-game and do it manually?

Creating a pre-season schedule

feeds@yuku.com (smithyed) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:17:58 GMT

While fiddling with the options on reports, I noticed that there is an option to create a pre-season report. I scampered over to the Organizer to see if I could create a pre-season schedule, which could then be tied into the regular season, which would then just slide right into the post-season. Alas, pre-season was not an option... am I missing something here?

Many thanks for any assistance on this matter!

Ver 9 & Ver 10 compatability

feeds@yuku.com (jst8131) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:10:06 GMT

If in a league and person who runs league/ sends out stats is still on VER 9, while some owners use VER 10 will this work, or must everyone be on same version?
thanks

Updating Overall stat entry problem

feeds@yuku.com (skunkle) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:51:45 GMT

This may already be somewhere as I failed to do a search.

I decided to enter updated OVERALL stats for the Tiger/Twins teams for todays playoff game. I'm using the 2009 zip projected season of course and I'm only updating players that IMO are way off their projected stats.

I had no problem finishing the Twins batters but I gave up on the pitchers. When I entered the 'overall' updated stats on Jon Rauch I couldn't complete the work. A box...

player over use

feeds@yuku.com (Fishguy77) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:05:48 GMT
I am replaying the 2006 season and have noticed one player, Oscar Villarreal (mr) for Atlanta has been over used by the CM. In real life he pitched 92.1 innings and in the replay (totally CM) he has pitched 124.1 with one week to go in the regular season. How should I have set up the season to avoid this? I am sure there are other players that have been over used. Maybe the game should reduce the players talents after he has gone over a certain percentage of his real life stats.

Exporting/Editing Player Profiles??

feeds@yuku.com (rusty staub) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 08:30:36 GMT
Can you export DMB player profiles and edit them in an external program (ie: Excel)? This would be for the purpose of mass editing. I want to take a block of seasons and give players the same fielding positions/ratings for all of their individual seasons. I think it would take about 1/1,000th of the time if it was possible to do externally...

Quick help needed: Playoffs

feeds@yuku.com (desabends) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:06:59 GMT
Ok, here's the question: I have two leagues, 3 teams from each league make the playoffs. The best record in each league gets a bye.

How in the world do I give a team a bye in the first round. The scheduler keeps telling me I don't have the teams seeded when I try to generate the first round sched. The #1 game is filled and the #2 series has no teams.

dmbenc9 history reload

feeds@yuku.com (Deadred) — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:25:21 GMT
Can someone please tell me, EXACTLY how do I reload our dmbenc9 history, which we have on a CD as our backup, into the dmbenc9 program?? Is there a particular file inside dmdenc9 that our backup dmbenc9 history CD should be loaded into, or what?

I've already tried to reload our history CD into the dmbenc9 program, but after about an hour of messing around with it, I gave up. At this point, I don't know if I was doing something wrong, or if it just isn't designed to...

Team Totals Report

feeds@yuku.com (rcm3739) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 09:35:18 GMT
Is there a way to isolate in this report the totals of LHB vs LHP, LHB vs RHP, RHB vs LHP and RHB vs RHP?

Adding teams to a league

feeds@yuku.com (bryanfagan) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 16:06:00 GMT
I can see myself messing this up. I need to call on some experts. Here's what I'm trying to do:

I want to add the 1919 Whitesox to the 2008 American League. I want the 1919 Whitesox to replace the 2008 Whitesox. I also want to add the 1955 Dodgers to the National League. I want the '55 Dodgers to replace the 2008 Dodgers.

I'm guessing this is possible. Is there a simple way for me to do this? I just read the rules and I know I will...
