Ok , didn't know that.

ps: I just posted a "wanted" on Amibay...

I should have it in my parents' house, but I can't check before next week.
Happy to help if I can.

That would be nice!

I just uploaded Player Manager 2 ECS (3 disks) in the zone.
I used "DIC df0:" to create the adf images.
A WHDLoad slave would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your efforts.

StingRay · 26 December 2009, 20:11

Thanks fc.studio! =) Will start working on the slave right now! =)

THANK YOU StingRay

Attached is the first beta that I want you to test. Load/Save will probably not work because I have no idea how to save a game... If someone could tell me

Everything else should work, let me know if there are any problems.
Oh, and it would be nice if someone could create an icon for the WHDLoad patch. =)

Feel free to create images of your version too, maybe it's a different version. =)

YES it's Christmas....thank you Sting , will test it right now

My config: A1200 + OS3.9 + Blizzard 1230/IV 16MB + FPU. (WHDLoad 16.9 not registered).
First test:
I had a fast test with the "demo game" section: I browsed some menus and I saw a match without problems.
Then I tried the "new game" section and I found that the keyboard input seems disabled. You can't input numbers for the season data and you can't rename the manager name in the next page "application form". Only F10 to quit seems to work.

Keyboard routine is buggy and needs to be patched, didn't bother yet because I didn't know where/when the game uses the keyboard.

Will have a look now. Thanks for testing.

StingRay · 27 December 2009, 13:47

I fixed the (quite horrible) keyboard stuff, new beta attached. The first time you try to enter a name the game writes some characters automatically, don't know why that happens, probably a bug in the game. Will see if I can fix that, for now just press "delete" to delete the characters.

And I still have no freaking idea how to save a game, anyone?

fc.studio · 27 December 2009, 14:08

About where/when the game uses the keyboard I can help using testing and manual.
On a first reading of the manual I found:
- Editing manager name and editing the years for season after "new game" section.
- During match: F1 for sub Player 12 and F2 for sub Player 14 warm up for substution (F9 and F10 <<<< for Team2)- Then the user has to use cursor keys followed by enter to select the player on the pitch that has to be replaced. Cursors keys and enter will be directly used for substitution of an injured player too. F4, F5, F6 and F7 change tactics.
- Transfer/Loan out (in squad section), selling and buying player require to input value. Loaning out require to input a period.
- Saving game to insert the file name.

fc.studio · 27 December 2009, 14:12

To save the game you have to go to in the manager's office and click on the closed drawer in the bottom/left of the screen.
It requires a pre-formatted floppy called "SAVE" disc. It can be used to save 5 games and 10 tactics.

lolafg · 27 December 2009, 14:36

Very well slave , i had no problems with keyboard functions and no automatics characters with first and second slave...???

Tested in real Amiga 600 2mb chip+4mb fast rom 3.1

F10 quitkey works , the game is fast and really playable , just to see now when saving or loading a game.

That's because you tested it on a 68000 machine.

Keyboard routine doesn't work correctly on CPU's >68000.
Thanks for testing. I'm working on the Load/Save stuff now and found more keyboard routines I need to fix. =)

Also thanks to fc.studio for the detailed info, much appreciated!

fc.studio · 27 December 2009, 15:29

I can confirm.
No automatics characters me too, keyboard input works. However it doesn't work so fine. It has responsive issue, often very very slow. During match I have many problems with cursor and enter keys for substitutions. F10 has to be replaced since it can be used from Team2 user during game match.

It's up to me to thank you StingRay for your hard work. I did nothing and I could not imagine you could already get such a great slave in a few hours. Thanks - Thanks. I'll waiting for future updates...

@Lolafg: A1200 is faster Vs. A600 (but not much, perhaps up to 2x). You can appreciate this in "Managing and wheeling..." computing.

This is the "found more keyboard routines I need to fix" part (see my last post). I'm working on that, first I want to have Load/Save working though. =)

Yep, I already noticed and changed it, Default Quitkey is "Del" now. =)

StingRay · 28 December 2009, 00:46

Fixed all keyboard problems and some other things and load/save works now as well. New beta slave attached, please test and report any problems as usual. If there are none, this will be the final version. And it would still be nice if someone could create an icon for the patch. =)
