I downloaded this fine program, and it works fine with QBasic on my PC. I've figured out how to set it up, but there's a little problem, or problems:

I am trying to create a season format exactly like the AFL of today (with 22 rounds, two QF, two EF, two SF, two PF and one GF). But where do I go and what do I do to change the season fixture, so my 16 teams can play 22+ rounds of footy?

I had created two different teams (Essendon and Carlton), and ran the game. It appears that while the game was running (I had the two teams play against each other), the teams were "Carl vs Carl". What's the deal with that? I thought it'd be "Carl vs Ess"? Mobbers, could you please help me with these issues. I'll let you know if I run into anymore trouble.

Anyone else run into similar problems?

Cheers,

Thrawn.
 
Ok Mobbers, i have it going BUT i have come across a very annoying problem

When i try to make a new team in my league, i type in the name of the team, the abbreviation and the names but then it asks me "are you happy with this team (y/n)" and when i press either y or n nothing happens, and i can't get back to the screen, so i currently can't make any teams, what can i do!!!

Cheers

I can't get the damn game to work at all!!

I have Windows Millenium, and I downloaded the old dos stuff, but ntohing I do seems to work.

Mobbers, sorry to have to be another to ask about this, but if you could tell me what I need to open etc, that would be a GREAT help.
 
Thanks for all your help so far Mobbers!! I can now play games, create teams, etc etc. But I still have one slight problem that I was wondering if you could help me with.:D

The quarters seem to go forever, and the ball is moved incredibly fast. With the result being an end result of about 500 points to 400 points! lol. I was wondering if there was some way of slowing this play down, or speeding the quarters up.

The .bat file (Q.BAT, I think), is what needs to be double-clicked for it to work.

Umm I think in some cases your autoexec.bat or something like that needs the path to the where you saved olddos put in it. That's Path C:\Qbasic or wherever you save the Qbasic when it happens.

Try those first.

Try opening game.bas, finding line number 5920 (the indicated line numbers as printed, not the 5920th line of the file). In that file should be the text :

5920 FOR TJ% = 1 TO 200: NEXT (at least, mine says 200).

You might have a faster computer. Change the 200 to a more appropriate number. The higher the number, the more the game slows down. Sounds like you could do with a figure like 1000.

Give it a try and let me know how you go.

Ok I thought it had worked, but I simulated another game, and now it is just as fast, lol. I then changed that value to 9999 and it has slowed down, but still 7 mins into the 1st q'r the score is 47 to 24! :confused:

There is just one word for that computer, and that word is 'fwoar'.

Try changing the line to this :

5920 FOR XJ%=1 TO 10:FOR TJ% = 1 TO 9999: NEXT TJ%, XJ%

just copy paste.

(it's the equivalent of 10 x 9999, being 99990)

This is what the line looks like now, it's a little slow, but it'll do! :D
5920 FOR XJ%=1 TO 100:FOR TJ% = 1 TO 30000: NEXT TJ%, XJ%
 
Play with the numbers until you're happy with them.

You have :
5920 FOR XJ%=1 TO 100:FOR TJ% = 1 TO 30000: NEXT TJ%, XJ%

If the 100 goes up, it becomes a lot slower.
If the 100 goes down, it becomes a lot faster.
If the 30000 goes up, it becomes a little slower.
If the 30000 goes down, it becomes a little faster.

Whoops, wrong line. Might want to put it back to how it was.

Instead, try these two lines :
5850 IF VAL(MID$(SETUP$, 10, 1)) = 1 THEN FOR Textra% = 1 TO 40: FOR T = 1 TO WE * 2.5: NEXT: NEXT ' IF PS/2
5860 IF VAL(MID$(SETUP$, 9, 1)) = 1 THEN FOR Textra% = 1 TO 40: FOR T = 1 TO WE * 1.25: NEXT: NEXT ' IF at

See the 2.5 and the 1.25?
Increase those, perhaps triple them. Whatever you do to one, do the same to the other (multiply by same number)

Perhaps change them to 7.5 and 3.75.

And return the original line we've been talking about to :
5920 FOR TJ% = 1 TO 200: NEXT (at least, mine says 200).

I dunno, it's working perfectly now, don't want to risk changing it! :D
I do have another question, regarding the commentary, how is it possible to get a copy of this?? I was wanting to simulate some games for the Melbourne Board and post the commentary, but not sure how to get it! :D
Thanks for all your help mobbers!
Cheers.
 
Well i am having the same prob as Deestroy, but am completely lost as to what you said to do. Which line is it you decided Deestroy should change, and to what do i change it?
I have similar scores to Deestroy, 480-465
Cheers

Does the version you have, include a mention of 'do you want commentary?' after you choose the teams?

Yeah something like that, and I do an upper case Y and then the game starts up, not sure how to retrieve it though, havn't been able to find it! :confused:

Cheers mobbers, will do that when i get the chance;)
 
It's all cool...

Don't worry Mobbers... I've got everything worked out now, and everything is running fine. Turns out that my keyboard was stuffed at the time ;)

I've heard other people's problems regarding Qooty... the games I simulate seem almost perfect, no too high of a score. Strange, isn't it? For some people, it turns out a little buggy, whilst for others, it's just right.

Oh... and the Eltham Balrogs defeated the Carlton Blues:

Carl: 20.5 125
Elth: 30.12 192

:D
