Oh dear god, don't try to do it by hand! Comparing two versions of the same file is exactly the sort of task computers are good at, what you want is called a "diff tool" - there should be plenty of good ones. I use the 'diff' included in Cygwin myself, but if you don't want a full suite of Linux tools, you can find a simple graphical one at The Code Project - Free Tools.


Thanks, I wondered if there were something that would compare 2 files, but never knew such a thing existed. I will get one.

I just got this message when I tried to download the update:

"This site has exceeded its limit of 5 Gigabytes of transfer for the month. You may buy extra Gigabytes of transfer by logging in to the user menu and choosing 'upgrade'.

Thank you,

Thanks.

Any idea what has changed. I have started reading both files, trying to determine what needs to be changed, but, as you know is a lot to read, and I have yet to see any note that specifies what might have changed?

I obtained one of the diff applications and compared the new version of the pursim.xml in the current patch with the old version in a prior patch and
there appears to be one difference.

Old contains line-
<VERSION>374</VERSION>

New contains line -
<VERSION>375</VERSION>

Can this be the only thing that prevents the deadball era.xml file from running??

It could be. I imagine the game has a 'version number' hard-coded into itself, and compares its version number with the version of the .XML file.

In my experience previously, Shaun has only updated the version number when parts of the .XML file changed - you might get three version 352's in a row with different builds, then see version 353 as he added some new line to the .XML file... but your diff tool shouldn't be lying to you. [;)]



bodeka -> RE: New Patch 1.24 with a surprise (7/24/2006 7:11:19 PM)

I've still never been able to get the game to run. I just dl this new 1.24 patch. It took all of 2 seconds. I dbl click the white box and say yes to 'run.' It never does ask me for my purchase code. It doesn't ask me for anything. Instead a black dos box opens and these little horizontal slashes float fast across the box at an upward angle for who knows how long. I let it run for 3 minutes and ended the operation.

Please help as I'm 'hoping' this patch will finally allow me to see the game in action for the first time!

Thanks



SittingDuck -> RE: New Patch 1.24 with a surprise (7/24/2006 7:15:39 PM)

Interesting on the XML version update thing.  I do think it is integral to using the latest patch (that the XML reflect that value), but not sure.

WINMERGE is also a good text comparison program, and freeware.



scott32671 -> RE: New Patch 1.24 with a surprise (7/24/2006 7:16:54 PM)

when i try to download this, it happens to me the same as bodeka..the black box with the hopping cursors[&:] i went to the download section on the matrix games members page, downloaded 1.20 and it worked just fine...is there anyway this patch can be accessed the same as 1.20. other than that, i really love this game, and i still can't get pics to load without going and putting them on one by one on each player card...but oh well..SOM doesn't even OFFER player pics...so i am in no way dissing this wonderful game. [:D]

Does Matrix not give you some FTP space?!?



akcranker -> RE: Link Still Isn't Working (7/24/2006 8:27:32 PM)

Matrix met their 5GB monthly limit.

Do any of you that downloaded 1.24 have it saved on your computer?  If so you could upload it to somewhere like www.sendspace.com and provide the link here for all the other users.

If true, that's hilarious... and cause for congratulations, Shaun! If you've got that much current interest going, that makes this the most successful version of PS to date. Way to go, my friend!

As a stop gap measure and until Shaun finds more ftp space, I have uploaded 1.24 to RapidShare. You can get the file here. Be sure to click on the free download, not the premium service.

Great job JF!!!  Thanks for the assist.  Downloaded and it's working fine.



SittingDuck -> RE: Link Still Isn't Working (7/24/2006 10:34:55 PM)

I think that is 5GB for all of Matrix, not PSBB.  But not sure on that.

Damn, that is pretty small for a company that mainly relys on internet sales and product downloads...

I may be wrong, but I don't think Shaun was using Matrix as the host for his beta patches. The 1.24 patch was being hosted by Free Web Space Inc.

I believe you are right, Jon. Back as far as v1.18, it was the same server as now.

I can't tell you how bad it looks if Matrix can't foot some webspace for Shaun's upgrades and patches. Compared to the other bb sims out there and their related companies, it looks really, really awful.



SittingDuck -> RE: Link Still Isn't Working (7/25/2006 3:16:20 AM)

My suggestion is get the FTP space (should be from Matrix, but whatever... [8|] ), then post old patches on Rapidshare and keep a running log of their URLs for people to download should there be a need.  We need some type of archive for these things.  I have the space if needed, but the current patch should always be available from Matrix, no if, and or buts about that.

I might need to give some 'feedback' to the Matrix guys on this situation.  [:-]



Rainbow7 -> RE: Link Still Isn't Working (7/25/2006 4:09:18 AM)

I suspect that most Matrix official patches have to go through a bit of QA first, and that Shaun is making these beta patches available to us as a courtesy and for some easy beta testing ... but with a pretty big understanding that things could go wrong.



SittingDuck -> RE: Link Still Isn't Working (7/25/2006 4:11:20 AM)

That could be a very salient point.  Thanks, and that would be a good policy.




SittingDuck -> RE: New Patch 1.24 with a surprise (7/25/2006 4:14:04 AM)

Duhhhh... I set up a league using the Import Players Prior new option....

Except I forgot to make it a 50-man league.  [8|]   Was wondering where all these other 15 players per team were located...

sheesh....



akcranker -> RE: Link Still Isn't Working (7/25/2006 4:15:44 AM)

I have alot of the older patches saved on my computer.. I even think I may have patches and files going all the way back to Puresim 2003 on dvd somewhere.
