Ok, I tried importing the Pavilion page (I have been using the source code) and came up with the error message: Unable to parse Office Data File.

I have no idea what that means!

Edit: But pasting in the nets has worked fine!

Ah; are you sure you're getting the right bit of source code? The Battrick website uses frames, which means it's quite easy to end up with the wrong bit of source code, i.e. the bit for the banner and the ticker at the top of each page, rather than the actual page content. Depends which browser you're using as to how you get the right bit, but mostly you should be able to right-click in the centre of the page and select view source (might be under "this frame" in Firefox). You should end up with something that's a good couple of hundred lines long; if you've got the wrong thing, it'll only be about 20 lines of code.

God, I hate frames-based websites.

Well, I've been going to the Pavilion page, right clicking and selecting 'View Source', and copy+pasting that into the 'Import Pavilion HTML' window?

Gay.

Yep, sounds right. Not sure what's going on, then. You said the nets import worked - does that mean you've got your players imported? Do any appear in the main window?

I think.

I think that's for Firefox though isn't it? I'm using Internet Explorer. Certainly when I right click on the page <This Frame> is nowhere to be seen...

Nope, I got nothing

Imagine what could of been had i put it on batting?

Should i train him? How much would i get for him on the market?

 

[PY]

An lot I'd imagine, though he's a low comp-comp by my reckoning. He's a pretty gun though it has to be said.

Will be interesting to see how stupid the prices get this season, imagine 1.5m for a high-end resp 17yo given I sold a 17yo resp bat for 750k 2/3 of the way through the season.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Top sideskills there, Mike.

I settled for a pure allrounder...

Wasted 30 ITS on a complete dud. Oh well, will try again later.

Then I'm stumped, I'm afraid. I'm on version 0.4.4 and it parses my pavilion page just fine. What's your team name? I'll back up my files and see if your pavilion page runs through my copy of Batman if you like. Won't be able to do the squad page though, obviously.

As for me, was a bit worried about the news item regarding people "taking advantage" of the stupid transfer market bug whereby players who have aged show up as younger in a search. I'd re-listed my last deadbeat YP on Saturday, unaware that this would overlap the new season's YPs (honestly - who's at their best on Saturday night?). He only went for 80k in the end though, so I don't think I'll get splatted. Allan should fix these simple bugs, though, instead of threatening people who might not even be aware of them. It's not like it hasn't happened before. I'm sure there are some people taking advantage, but this is just lazy. I can see why you might not want to revisit the player database every time someone runs a search, but updating the TM database when you age the players would be an absolute breeze.

Train or sell?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

He's pretty low resp.

 

[chaminda_00]

FFS you get a respectable once in the blue moon and a competent/competent why hell would you sell them?

 

[NZTailender]

Where should he slot in in training?

Wait tell you get 35 ITS before to try you do a YP. 35 ITS is the max you can put on a 17yo.
