Stats - Not added in 2011, So...

[Scritty]

My VB app started by using an exact string match on the full name from the scorecards. A right royal pain in the backside.

I'm certain there is a unique player ID in the game (there was in ICC2002 when Magpie was developed).

I've just finished coding the EWCB "MVP" for my own team and will implement that as well if I get around to it. It gives a far better "man of the match" award than currently

Looking forward to getting back into this project.
Since starting this thread I've decided there is no way I am going to buy another strategy or text based sports sim of any variety that doesn't have the proper stats in. I'm downloading the trial to check the output format of 2011 - but I have no intention what-so-ever of buying it.

I Am using the same method but I know it is going to bite me in the ass down the line.

But there is no other way with the current score scorecards.

No need to wast your time, I have downloaded it yesterday and the scorecards look exactly the same.

Quick reply to this. Not ignoring this but will be busy fixing various bits today and possibly tomorrow so the game is ready for the CD Master, so will reply to this (have pointed Chris to the thread) later.

Looking forward to a possible solution to the problem.

bumping this as was looking forward to the reply but it looks like it was forgotten/ ignored.

A fan project is ongoing - 2 in fact.

http://childishthings.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1816

These can never compete with an in game system realistically because manyy of the variables needed to produce a comprhensive set of stats are simply not accessible vis the data that is currently exportable - i.e scorecards

[cardassian]

yeah i know about the fan projects and am happy to help test them if required.
however sureshot had inferred there'd be an official response coming soon and it hasn't yet so was hoping the bump would be a little reminder.

[Blade007]

Hope it works. I assumed the same after his last post.

There will be an official response, but we need to discuss it between us and there's other things we've been hectic with like the patch, CD master and we're working hard on the iPhone as well. Not being ignored, just tight on time and don't want to give a response that isn't worthy of the questions being asked here.

Cheers, understand your busy, thanks for the update.

Seems very reasonable

Just to let you know. I am reading this thread. I'm considering ways that we can output score-cards as csv files for you to read so that you can create a stand-alone stats program to go with the game. We're busy working through all the fixes for the current version at the moment, but it's a great idea for the future. Probably next year's version I'm afraid. Happy to look at outputting in a format you agree on.

Hi Chris,

In an ideal world each match would be output as one file (rather than 4 seperate innings files) in a .CSV format

Even better would be the option to output the stats screen (the list of all current players and their statistics batting/bowling)

This would allow "tactical" stats on a game by game basis, and the second would allow us to archive individual years for the entire "cricket universe"

In my case, both would be used in Excel.

Being in CSV format to start off with would mean substantially less messing about sorting out "what goes where".

In fact even in C++ it would be easier in CSV. Most apps take this file format in one form or another.

competition,
date,team one,team two,
innings one,
player one,method of dismissal,bowler OR [fielder if run out or caught] OR [wicketkeeper if stumped],score
player two,
etc
bowler one,overs,maidens,runs
bowler two,
etc
extras,total
innings two
etc


The main list exported under either batting or bowling tab (one for FC, OD, T20,second team and tests) in more or less exactly the same format as it looks on screen now - but CSV.

So a long list with all the players in whatever order

name,matches,innings,runs,not outs,average,scoring rate

or

name,matches,innings,overs,wickets,maidens,runs conceded,average,RPO


This is ideal - but I'll take whatever is possible.
(being selfish) of course other potential devs may have other ideas.

It will be awesome if ICC gets stats same as cricket coach.Waiting for it.

This year - at best - it will be a user made addon. (with all the hassle of remembering to save every single match and season stats...one missing = wrong/useless stats)

The hope is that in 2012 it will be incorporated in the game. It's not as if the game is a resource hog. Barely see my CPU monitor hover above 3% with it running and it takes less HD space than a 5 minute Youtube clip.

Still...fingers crossed we get access to a decent export.
