Could the team average stats have average points per game please?

Could the team average stats have average points per game please?

Done... also put total points on the "Advanced View" page (I'd like to keep the same columns across those two pages).

Lets have a Team SSP chart as well, please

I've added a column for total SPP on the team list page, currently populated with to remind me to implement it properly at some point.

[lawastooshort]

That's just total points, unless I have missed where you put it? I meant total points/total games if you see how I mean?

[Gandalf]

Yes you have missed where I put it. It's entirely logical

"Advanced View" page has totals
"Average Per Match" page has.... yes, averages per match

[lawastooshort]

Aha. Perhaps I was on the wrong page...

[Gandalf]

Indicate if a match went to overtime.

I know this is possible as my first attempts at logging results got the scores from a different source - this source actually gave the score as of the end of normal time. Having just played cup matches I have been reminded of this.

[id3nt1ty]

And just for id3, an API for match stats since you wanted an API and you asked how easy it is to get the data.

I've just remembered about this. Very nice. That's exactly what would be useful.

I'm slowing working on bb-dugout. Got a very simple team creation page, but it doesn't save anything. At the point now where I need a proper backend that will allow the user to save teams they have created. Once I have that I plan to try and generate teams that can be imported into Cyanide's Blood Bowl. If that works out I'll do a little polishing, then you lot can have a play.

After that, I'd like to advance the team creation to really make it a bit more useful/interesting. For example, being able to give skills to players without having to level them up in game, or creating custom teams (Slann, Bretonnian, Symin, etc) that you can't create in the normal client.

In the back of my mind I am tempted to try a web-based blood bowl game (I know, I know, FUMBBL exists - it's more a curiosity/technology thing), or maybe league management outside of the blood bowl client. More than likely I'll get distracted by some other Great Idea or project though...

[Raveen]

OBBLM is a good place to look for a management tool.

[id3nt1ty]

Oh cool, I hadn't seen that!

[Gandalf]

I installed a copy of it on my webspace somewhere, out of curiosity. I let Rav have a play around with it. I can give you the logon details & URL if you're interested (and if it made it across my recent webhost change).

[Raveen]

Regarding the game logs. It would be nice to offer .csv downloads of the logs for easy spreadsheeting. Not essential at all, but a nice to have feature.

[DaigaroOgami]

oooo yes, that would be.

Then you could scrutinize your own dice/stats, etc until you found an outcome that satisfied you.

[Gandalf]

Doable & not too difficult.

I won't do it for a while though - I want people to test what BBDB is saying first.

[DaigaroOgami]

This is the best place I can think to put this question, because it's only a question really.

BBDB is only populated by match reports right?

How does BBM work with the 'live' links to get the team rosters? Would the BBM bloke have had contact with the people at cyanide to access their severs?

[Gandalf]

There's another folder (related to the one you have to go to to get the files to upload) that gets updated with latest team rosters when you view them in the client.

I assume BBM monitors that folder for changes & uploads any new/changed files that appear in there. As BBDB is a web app only, it doesn't have access to your disk.

I could conceivably make something so you can upload these files, but the effort/payoff isn't really worth it.
