Fixture Development

[xixsoside]

After the grand development of the Magpie, I am hoping that the fixtures can be modded too. Its just not fair seeing Kiwis play no games by 2010 in an ENTIRE season, way too silly.

After a quick scan I got to two potential keepers of fixtures

1) CrickMan.dll - which has the fixtures needed for the FIRST year only.

2) intX.fxt - which is the fixtures being created year after year.

So potentially we are looking to edit intX but if we can get far we might be able to edit the Crickman and be able to hold world cups every 4 years.

Ofcourse many of u might already know this info, and more importantly much of this stuff is in lose air, so it'll be nice if we can kick start fixture creation.

My first hurdle was a way to edit the FXT files, if anyone know how to do this pls post here?

Cheers and hopefully we'll get a good fixture before you know it.

Good Luck mate, I hope you know what you are getting in to.

Does this mean that it would eventuallay be possible to include the
ICC Champions Trophy as well?

cheers DJ, what this means is that if we move into this together, with ample of support from fellow members who are interested in coding, we might be able to get somewhere with a more realistic fixture.

What I'd like to ask people is how to edit FXT code, cause when I open it in Notepad it gives me gibbrish, any ideas?

I can make up some future 9 team ICC Trophy Formats If you want. Or 14?(World Cup)
Or 10 or what ever you want generally.

We've not got anywhere with fixture development so far.

I suggest that you give trial and error a shot.

An Idea for 14 teams.

Teams rated 1-14 by ICC. Teams 13 and 12 and 11 and 14 playoff. First Round over

Winners and all other teams go into 4 groups of 3: Top 2 Through. Second Round over

4 Knock-out matches. Winners through. Elimination Play-offs(Re named) Over.

Winners play all other teams. Last Place out. Quater Finals Over.

Winner play other 2 teams. Last Place out. Semi Finals Over.

Grand Final. Winner.... wins

A diagram for 9 teams. Top team wins Second Runners up

A---------------------------Semi Finals-------------Finals----WINNER!
B-------Playoffs-------------Semi Finals--OUT
C--OUT

D---------------------------Semi Finals-------------Finals------2nd Place
E-------Playoffs--OUT
F--OUT

H---------------------------Semi Finals--OUT
I-------Playoffs--OUT
J--OUT

Some more if requested.

99.9% likely won't happen

haha yeah what is he up to

 

[xixsoside]

lol interesting, thanks but I guess we need to get the more important details ironed out first.

Anyone have any idea on how to view the FXT files, Neil?
