Please have a look, comment, point out bugs, omissions, general feedback, all that stuff.

I won't start work on version 1 just yet, probably wait until after the baby comes. So, as per development plan (see separate thread) some things - the largest of which is player-level data - will not be done until then.

So.... try and focus on looking at what is there, not what isn't there

Initial upload problems have been sorted now. They were due to the inexplicable decision of a PHP function to say that "1" was not a string entirely composed of digits???!!!! Two of the 4 matches have been uploaded so if the others could be too that would be grand.

It doesn't yet cater for multiple log files, so if you have this then short-term let me know. I will hopefully get it fixed by next week.

Website usage tips:
- if you hover over abbreviations it will often tell you what it means.
- most tables are sortable. Just click on the header.

I submitted our game I think, but think ours had multiple log files..... BB_Chaos001 and BB_Chaos000 in the folder....

Yes your game is there. You can see it on the matches page.

Can you send the 001 file to me via email, or upload it to some 3rd party website please?

I think it's uploaded now dude

can you see the folder here?

Yes, all 4 matches have uploaded, you can click on "matches" at the top, if your game is in the list then all is well.

notj - yes thanks I have taken a copy of that file

The website is now at the much nicer-looking URL of gandalfgames.net/bbdb though the old link will still work.

Anyone going to give any feedback it?

Looks good; I don't really have much in terms of feedback at the minute - it does what it says on the tin, and can't complain at that

I'm looking forward to stats, graphs and squad pics.

I won't lie, I'll only get really excited when it gets some lovely cosmetics; would be ace to see some character models for team members; and find a cool way to display your team as opposed to just a list of names.

But good work dude - Is there a way of pulling all the historical matches from BBM (when the time comes) or are we going to lose the RTBBL Hall of Fame?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll deal with it in the order that makes most sense to answer.

Yes but not easily... you can get the replay files from BBM, watch them in Blood Bowl and then you will have the files you can upload to my website. Tedious but I have started going through Season 6. The more data there is, there more impressive it will look and the more you can appreciate its power (hopefully). I reckon I will have some spare time to go through even more after the baby comes - from my last one I recall alot of holding the baby only requiring occasional attention, a good situation in which to go through the process of loading more old games.

Hmmm.... well I can show you some stats now, with more to come? I'll see about graphs, might be possible without too much effort.

Look at this page http://gandalfgames.net/bbdb/team.php?team_id=4 it shows the team with the most games in there thus far, my Nurgle team. Do you find it at least a little bit interesting, to be able to see how they have performed in every match, at a glance?

Ah, it's nice to get a user's eye view. I don't really have any cosmetics like that planned, beyond club logo. But the data is there for people to create their own to contribute. I'm not saying I won't do any, it's just not in the current plan. When the current plan ends, though....

There is yet more data to come. Can I interest you in that? I'm looking forwards to the player history page, so we can see how many scrapes Alan got into, and how on earth did a snotling get to level 4? As well as being interesting (to some people) it helps with creating fluff, backstories etc. and show how some players have become legends (for one reason or another).

Looks really good, top job so far! I know I'd appreciate being able to see that level of data from past matches easily even if it's just for willy waving purposes!

Thanks Rav

Released a few tweaks today...
- now supports multiple log file uploads (kinda essential, that one)
- Match rating now appears on the match list page. Quickly see the greatest games in the history of RTBBL!
- Uploaded some more season 6 games
- team data will refresh if the game uploaded is the latest game for that team (need people to verify that one on Sunday)
- tried to make WDL on the team page coloured but met with some difficulty. Will try again.

Apart from that last one I think that's everything done that will be done for v0.5, then it will be on to version 1 (player level data), though I am still happy to take requests based on this current version.

How come I don't exist as a coach?

Or, Percy, for that matter.

I like the coach profile with the match history bit.

Coach names aren't included in the saved game... so I have to manually hook up coaches to teams. This needs to be done just once per team though so it's not arduous. I've given you your two teams now.

You mean the page I just linked to? Thanks. Looking at it again I think I should add the competition (eg Season 6 league) into there.

Yes, that page is sweet because it opens up more fluff & stats than just the teams.

Probably be good to have a 'what competition was this match in' column, like you just said. Any chance of filters on the columns too?

Be good to be able to upload a pic & bio (optional, of course) too.
