Mr_Whippy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'd be happy for a New Years day release. Perfect cure for a hangover! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Slowly.. But still going. It looks like Christmas eve is too early for a release as it takes me a bit longer setting up all the leagues as I am doing all research myself as well. Got 71 leagues left to research and to put in the system. Right now I am doing about 4-8 leagues a day. Before creating a league I first have to find all information about the teams like Cities, Stadiums and kits. Then I have to put the cities etc in the database this is including hunting down the coordinates etc. Then after creating the cities and stadiums I have to create the teams. Which then have to be put in the correct divisions. Last but not least I have to set the boundaries per league to make sure teams are not floating all over the place. The research part takes away a big part of my time. Bl**dy hell! Fantastic work you're putting in GE - absolutely staggering. I hope you gain some well deserved praise for this. If ever you have the misfortune to be in Birmingham one day, the booze 'n' grub is on me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden eagles Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 I hope you all had a great Christmas! Just wanted to let you all know that I am still working on the update. Got 14 more leagues to research and that will end the research part of this Database. Then its a matter of creating approx. 400-ish clubs, stadiums and some cities. More updates will follow after tomorrow. I expect to be done with all the leagues by thursday. Then I have to add all league related cups. Once that is completed I will add as many county cups as possible on friday. Friday night I will prepare a release version which will be tested on a long term holiday run. Depending on when that is finished the release will be shortly after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCxING Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Be interesting to see who played for who. I started off as a trainee for Sutton United. After I failed to break into the first time I played mostly Sunday league football but 4 years ago I played for level 11/12 side Croygas Phoenix and was offered to play for Colliers Wood in the combined counties (higher standard of football) until I injured my knee and then I was working every other Saturday so had to pull out of Saturdays again. It was a shame because I was winning everything with my Sunday team, didn't lose a game all season one year and won the treble (League Winners, County Cup, League Cup) Bloody injuries are always decent players downfalls.

FCUtdWill Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Also how fast will the performance of this run? will it be very slow? I doubt it'd be very slow, you're only loading 14 leagues at the end of the day, you won't have to process every single result from every single division. See what it's like when you load the top leagues from 14 countries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you add Leo Branton to AFC Liverpool (he's my brother) Also how fast will the performance of this run? will it be very slow? I wouldn't hope for any players to be added. Think about it, there are over 5000 teams that need to be added with at least 15+ players to be added to every team. It would take forever especially for one person.

There won't be, as all teams will have auto-generated squads, which will make it more fun as you don't know which players you're going to have when you first load. And then changes every time you start a new game with the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawlore Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thing is, GE is doing a hell of a lot of the legwork in creating the league structures and teams, and as a one-man project, it's phenomenal. But, with his permission, there's really nothing to stop other people taking the released data and building on it by adding real players. I've never been one to toy with the editor much, but may just have to see what information I can find about teams in my local area once it's released and see if I can get a few real names in the mix. Provided there was a degree of consistency from one team to the next in terms of player quality (working from the assumption that most attributes are likely to be <5 for most players), a community could leap on what he's putting together and really run with it. Of course, I could be on my own on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden eagles Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 A quick update guys..Am getting close to end the first and most difficult phase of this project. All research is done thank God! Now its a matter of entering the data in the database. I've got the following to add to complete the first Phase: 287 cities 387 Stadiums 387 clubs. 51 leagues. (This will be easy to set up once the clubs are created) After that its a matter of putting the league cups in, finish the U18 competitions and testing. So far everything looks great. Rev 1.80 is still on its test run and is now in 2025 without crashes. This is without the last 51 leagues of course. You wont be hearing much from me in the next few days as I am really working my butt off trying to get everything done asap. Its hard to keep going at a fast pace as this work is really boring (the data entry part). Saturday morning I will be able to know more about a final release date which I still hope is this weekend!

Once This Database is completed people can do with it as they please. As long as I get some credit for the ground works. Anyone who can add on to this database to make the overall game experience better can do so. That will only benefit everybody in the community.
