I am out now…

After 42 suspended, It is the time for me to leave making updates for a while. Also there will be an update at Christmas with 2008/2009 rosters. But It will works with original games. Koste has an updated db for some nations but It doesn’t work now. I will have a look and If I can solve the problem, I will release it.

Need help for ASIA…

Well… I have started to create Asian national and international tournaments because we are about to finish European Leagues and I have nothing to do with it now :) (I think some of you will ask me about 08/09 roster update but I can’t deal with it by myself. Maybe I can find a way later. Anyway..) Back to the question, I need help to make players, teams, stadiums and managers I want to make this as real as I can. But I can’t find some information about them. If someone wants to help, please contact me.

Here is the list for ready leagues:
- Kazakh League
- Iranian League
- Jordanian League
- Qatari League
- Indonesian League
- Kuwaiti League
- Bahrain League
- Saudi Arabian League
- Syrian League
- Emirati League
- Libyan League
- Yemeni League
- Iraqi League
- Indian League
- Omani League
- Arab Club Championships
- WABA
- Lebanese League system was changed into real system.
- Asian Club Championships system was changed into real system.

WBMu v3.1.0 Beta coming soon…

Well… As 42 suspended, soon I will also suspend doing updates for a while. But before my suspension, I will think of releasing 2 WBMu updates “WBM v3.1.0 Beta and v3.1.1 Beta”. I am at the final progress of WBMu v3.1.0 Beta and I think It will be ready tomorrow. This patch includes WBM v3.0.9 Beta + missing European leagues (except Finnish League) + EuroChallenge Cup. What I think about WBMu v3.1.1 Beta is to add Finnish League.

42 suspends

People tell that if your hobby prevent you from doing your job, then quit a job. Well, i coudn’t. So i decided to suspend my wbmu updating after i saw that all this week i hadn’t a minute to sit for wbm updates and i don’t see any prospect in future. Of course i’ll be near wbm, and will help hades or others update this game :)

For all who wants to update WBMu rosters

There are ~20000 players in this game, so you understand that two of us physically won’t update this game. That’s why i decided to call for your, wbm players, help. If you know basketball enough to update database, reply here or in any other way (skype – keturidu, email – keturidu@gmail.com) and we’ll talk how to cooperate.

Rules are simple:

1) You update only one league at once, using default WBM data editor.

2) You send me your big.wbmgame file.

3) I update our database with your edited players. All players that doesn’t play any more in league you update, automatically (well, by me) stands as free agents (of course, if later someone updates league in which would participate player (s) who has been set to “free agent” he’ll be assigned to a new team). More league would be updated, more accurate database would be.

Good luck,

42

Beijing

Currently i’m testing wbm with new Euroleague and EuroCup systems. There were problems with Latvian league new format, so i had to update everything again, that’s why i took so long. Latvian new format will have to wait for it’s chance. Now my prioritee is to finish testing of new european leagues and to organize rosters updating. Volunteers are highly waited. All who wants to help us by updating rosters, please write me keturidu@gmail.com or contact me on skype keturidu username.

p.s. next week i’m on vacation so i’ll be unreachable :)

ULEB

Thanks to hades, who made EuroCup tables, i pasted them (with some minor changes) to our update and have succesfuly tested it for one season. Currently i’m working on new Euroleague format (with six teams in preliminary groups and best of five quarter finals) also i’ll add some randomness in deciding which teams would play in Euroleague preliminary groups, because, i think it’s boring to play every season with almost same teams. I’m testing it and, i think we’ll release WBMu 3.0.8 beta soon. With new Euroleague, EuroCup and new Latvian league (at last :D )

One League left “Finland”

I’m proud to announce that we are about to finish all european major competitions:) After I finished Hungarian league yesterday now there is only “Finland” left. I hope we can finish it soon. I have also EuroCup and BIBL finished but there is a problem with EuroChallenge. I think Thanasis can solve it.

The show continues

I’m preparing to release new version of WBMu which includes:

• Polish league bug fix (when clicking on Polish league tablein playoffs in threw you out to windows. That was because bad phase table. I think this bug comes from 1.8.2 version, but because nobody plays polish league, the bug hasn’t been fixed until now)
• New Lithuanian league tournament – 11 teams championship *tested
• New Estonian league playoff system – more phases *tested
• New Latvian league – thanks to maci_maci who created 8 teams, i’ll update Latvian league to it’s real state – 16 teams championship and mfking super playoff system *still in progress and testing
• New Lithuanian 2nd league system – 17 teams and new playoff system which is more real. *works fine, just i got bad final standings table. Would be corrected.
• Stats for all teams – i’ve forgot to enter newly added league’s teams to stats, so it will threw you out to windows, while trying to view statistics of those teams. *would be done in very near future. WBMu 2 patches would be updated too, and it would be named WBMu v 2.1

These version of update would be named WBMu 3.x BETA

It’s not because it would be unstable or not working (we’re doing our best to test it before realease). It’s because this version of update would be a core to 2008-2009 season update which we’ll release, as i mentioned before in autumn with new rosters and it will be called FINAL version of update. That means, you’ll have new system of championships, but old teams rosters in BETA versions of game.

p.s. to those who likes numbers, if in 1.8.2 version of oficial update there were ~240 teams in Europe, so now WBMu 2 version has more than 400 european teams!

Updating Adriatic league

After i got patch from Thanasis, i’m able to make complete Adriatic league now. So that’s what i’m doing :)

What’s left is to change structure of Croatia and Slovenia leagues (currently i’m searching for these leagues tournament structure) to be compatible with full format of Adriatic league.

Also, i have now to review all participating leagues timetables.

Beside that, i’m doing new friendly tournament for Europe teams. Because you know, if there where 214 teams which played friendlies in original 1.8.2 version, now i count more that 400 and i don’t think this list will end at it.

Also i deleted all free players who are older that 23 years and this gives some advantages – game simulates faster and club buys players from each other. It has one big minuse too, of course :) So i think we’ll release  several versions of WBMu version 2

Also i’ll present my update to this version of game which changes abilities of team control (for example, do you ever wanted to give a lead role to assist? :) )

That is all what’s left to do before WBMu 2 release. All other updates should go to WBMu 3 at september/october months.
