BB Manager

[Raveen]

Actually Gandy, you of all people would appreciate the stats it supplies, knowing that you're a number whore of some distinction

It's a little bit of a faff to get started with but once it's there it's a lot of fun. 

[Raveen]

For what it's worth I've added the Gandalf vs Spinx game manually. All I've registered is the score so no casualties or anything. It does mean that our sigs are all showing the right ranking though.

Oh and I checked the stats of the Gandalf vs Idan game - given how badly it went for Gandy I was surprised that his d6 and 2d6 charts were roughly average. the block dice chart on the other hand... Wow, that's a lot of skulls

[Gandalf]

Yup, the blocks were terrible, plus every attempted pass in the 2nd half failing. I did have brief periods of luck in that game, unlike against notj when it was relentless misery.

Another thing that the charts may not show up is that when one of my player did go down, a few of them were stunned, a mere 2 KO'ed but a freakish amount got injured. That would be on the 2d6 chart, right...?

[Raveen]

Yes but not your 2d6 chart. Those rolls are made by your opponent. It's probably possible to analyse just the injury rolls but I've never delved that far into bb manager.

Updated first post with instructions stolen from the Orca-Cola Cup forum.

I will be using BBManager to track season 2 so please make sure you read the instructions before you play your first game.

[Idanmel]

I'm already registered from last season, so I don't have to do anything in BB manager atm, right?

[Raveen]

That's correct Idan, although you could sticky this thread

Signatures

Dynamic signatures are available:

Signature 1


Signature 2



You just have to configure the league ID and the name of your team:

Code: Select all

http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/Signature[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR].aspx?Type=png&[COLOR="Red"]leagueid=240[/COLOR]&[COLOR="Red"]Team=The Big Legs Skavens[/COLOR]

ou:

http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/Signature[COLOR="Red"]2[/COLOR].aspx?Type=png&[COLOR="Red"]leagueid=240[/COLOR]&[COLOR="Red"]Team=The Big Legs Skavens[/COLOR]


You will find the league ID in BB Manager, in the "League" tab.

These signatures display in real time your V/D/L statistics and your ranking in the league.

Special characters
If your team name contains special characters (like é, ü etc.), you should encode them; to do that use the function on this page: http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_urlencode.asp (use the textbox in the "URL Encoding Functions" section, and click on the "URL Encode" button)

Size
You can set widht and height in the URL:

Code: Select all

BBM is able to generate team images:     

       

    How to get the images of your teams?
-> launch BBM
-> launch BloodBowl
-> open a team roster in the game (let it open a few seconds)
-> in BB Manager, go to the menu "Tools - Roster images"
-> Type in your team's name (take care of spaces and special characters, the name should be strictly identical)
    -> BBM displays the image URL that you can post on websites/forums/blogs etc.
   
    After that, the image will be automatically updated each time you open the team in the game.

    Note: when you modify a team, for example after a match, for the image to be updated, you have to open the team roster again (because BBM gets the data when the roster is opened, not when it is closed).

The Weird outcasts appear in the RT Cup league, but not in the RT Cup Season 3 League in BBManager, yet it is there in Blood Bowl.


Anything I can do to add them?

[Raveen]

Did you submit the match twice, once to each league? If not then go back and do that. I'll take a look tonight and see if there's anything gone awry in BBM.

[notjarvis]

I submitted the match to the RT Cup league, but could not submit it to the Season 3 League, as I am not a member of that league, according to BBManager, and there was no option to submit a match to a league I'm not a member of as far as I could see.

I'll try again tonight. See if theres Ian Option I missed.


I'm in the S3 league in Blood Bowl itself, just not in BBmanager.

[Raveen]

Did you get the password in? Worst case I can dummy the match in which should persuade it to let you post future games.

[notjarvis]

Can't check here, and i was in pub last night so i Couldn't test it (will have a go tonight) but.... as I recall.


When you attempt to Submit the Match it gives you a drop down as to what leagues you are part of, that you can submit to.

RT Cup Season 3 didn't appear in the drop down to submit the match into, and I couldn't seem to find a way to enter it.

Never got as far as the password , as I couldn't find a way to select the RT Cup Season 3 League

As I say, will have a look tonight, as Blood Bowl isn't installed on my work machine :-)

We had an unexpectedly low turnout last week, as per earlier posts it's fine people not turning up every week, I just wondered if everyone (or, specifically, id3ntity's friends) knew that there tend to be games on every week? If you can't/won't be there it's handy for others to know beforehand, especially as the season goes on and the number of potential opponents decreases.
