[FF]: FF Draft Assistant Rewrite

Other Fantasy FIRST
#21

I have posted an updated version of the program at the CD-Media page listed in the previous post. If you have a version that does automatic team fetching, you can just grab the Update zip file and replace the main EXE with the one in the ZIP.

Changes:

  • CD Text automatically includes Code tags
  • File menu now includes a “Reload List” menu item which allows lists to be reloaded during the draft without restarting the program
  • The program no longer needs to be restarted when errors are encountered loading list files (not sure about other files yet).

#22

Can code-tags be in the settings somewhere? They’re not universally used among the current draft runners (and I don’t like them).

I mean, not that it’s a huge deal; I’m just nitpicking.

#23

Sure!

I turned the autorun checkbox, which I never implemented anyway, into a checkbox to enable or disable the code tags.

Eric, Alex and I all use them and Ed doesn’t use the program so the default state of the checkbox is on.

Updated installer and update zips [strike]will be posted shortly.[/strike] are posted.

#24

Ah, you’re right, my bad. Thanks!

#25

No worries! Flexibility is always a good thing and it was pretty easy to implement.

#26

Another thing. Can you implement a ‘copy text’ button.

#27

Hmmmm… that would be handy. Probably a little tougher to implement. I’ll see if I have time to work on it before I go home for the holidays on Wednesday, depends how my project at work is going.

If I don’t get it done before Wednesday I probably won’t have time to work on it for this season of drafting because I won’t have a development machine at my parent’s.

#28

I tried to uninstall and install the new version. I am getting an error message saying libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it still doesn’t work.

#29

Eww… well that’s obnoxious. I did the development for the latest version on a different machine and must have missed a compiler flag of some sort or used a new version of the compiler that requires that dll for some reason.

Looks like that dll can be found here:

You can either put it in your C:\Windows\System32 directory or the GTK\bin directory inside your FF Draft Assistant install.

Hopefully that’s the only one that is missing crosses fingers

#30

Done, now it wants libstdc+±6.dll.

I appreciate your help but I’d prefer you to work on the waiver wires and I’ll draft manually.

#31

Ok, sounds good. I set up a Teamviewer session on my desktop before I left and my boss lent me a laptop from work, so hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to attack this and either get a version without the additional dependencies or an installer that includes them posted up.

#32

I’ve posted updated versions of the instaler and update file that do not have the extra dependencies. Turns out it was the newer version of the compiler that caused the issue.

#33

A feature not urgent but worth implementing if you get bored: being able to decide who goes in what tier (for redrafts mainly)

#34

I think it’s possible to do that now, but it’s nastier than normal. You wouldn’t be able to randomize easily, but you could list the names of who you want in tier 1, then the names of who you want in tier 2, enter that list and unselect “Randomize Players”. Of course, then you get the fun of randomizing tiers yourself.

Or you could just enter a partial list to randomize. Again, not easy, and then you get to deal with renaming file outputs and whatnot.

#35

I just have two separate draft files and copied the random team list from one to another. Works for me with 2 instances of the program running.
