1.9.3 stages

[gyboth]

two new features are implemented in the current cvs version.

CPU team strategies
====================
in 1.9.2, teams have a more or less random style and formation and stick to it throughout a match and for several weeks. since the very beginning of the development of the 1.9 branch, i was planning to make cpu teams react to events in live games; i just waited until the live game was more or less stable.

alefzero came up with the idea to create strategies in XML files. this is now implemented. in a nutshell, such a file tells a CPU team how to prepare before a match (taking into account things like the average skill diff between the team and its opponent) and which actions to take during a match. the system uses tokens and conditions, just like live game commentary files.

here's an excerpt from a strategy file:

Code: Select all

  <prematch cond="_LAYERDIFF_ > 1 or _AVSKILLDIFF_ < -14">
    <formation>532</formation>
    <formation>442</formation>
    <formation>352</formation>
    <prematch_style>all-out-defend</prematch_style>
  </prematch>

    <match_action cond="_MI_ >= 40 and _MI_ < 65 and _GOALSTOWIN_ = 3">
      <sub cond="_SUBSLEFT_ > 1">
        <in prop="best">forward</in>
        <out prop="weakest">midfielder defender</out>
      </sub>
      <style>all-out-attack</style>
    </match_action>

of course i won't go into strategy details here; if you're interested in writing a strategy (and testing the system, which is by no means complete and bug-free), read the strategy howto.

betting
===============
well, not too much to say here. the user can bet on matches without user participation. a screenie is worth more than a thousand words:



the betting system probably needs refinement, too. in particular, i'm not sure it's not too easy to make a lot of money with betting.

This means more strings to translate

[gyboth]

can't be helped, new features = new strings in most cases.

but don't worry, once you've reached 100% (which you did), for each new release you only have to work 10-15 minutes

the first draft of the job exchange is cvsed. it looks like this:


there are bound to be a lot of bugs still, so please test.

note that there are jobs from abroad, too (otherwise there'd be a lot fewer bugs ).

i also have to add a few things, like right-click to apply directly without looking at the team info. and i believe the success function is flawed, teams from abroad always accept your application right now

When when when when when when when when when when when when when when when is it coming...!?!?!? You know what I mean... Bygfoot 1.9.3...

Oh when oh when is it coming.... ooooohhh, Missa can wait

good news, mr jones: today within an hour, i'd say

i can't imagine, however, why a computer-savvy man like you doesn't use the CVS version especially considering how easy it is to get one with the bygfoot-update script, without having to use that horrible CVS syntax.

Well, gimme some time - my gentoo system is only a few weeks old and haven't gotten around to the update script. But I have considered doing it

lame indeed. when i install a gentoo system, it's finished and highly profiled within 3 days
