I need your match results :-)

[tnmlyger]

Hey everybody,

I'm going to create a "stat sheet" plugin to be used in circuits. The idea is to have stats available for wrestlers such as "Most frequent opponents", "Most frequent partners", "Opponents with the highest likelihood of a win", "Opponents with the highest likelihood of a loss" etc. And some global stats for the circuit such as "longest title reigns", "shortest title reigns", "most title reigns", "wrestlers with the best matches against each other" etc.

To really make this fun for the user, these stats have to be rock-solid. Unfortunately, there are a myriad of possible result wordings from circuits reaching as far back as 22 years out in the field.

Even more unfortunately, the only way for me to do this is to reverse-engineer who won and lost from the results themselves, as in my infinite foresight I never thought of archiving the raw card line-ups. Having access to these would make this a lot easier but here we are ;-)

I've written a module which has correctly assessed every match in all of my TNM copies so far but it's very unlikely that I have run every kind of match with every kind of outcome on these. As a consequence, I need to verify the module against as wide a range of circuits, cards and matches as possible.

Would you be willing to do me a solid, install a plugin, run it once and send me the results?

What it does is go through every match you've had in your circuits. It will try to identify who was the winning team, who were the losing teams and essentially returns a list of wrestlers and whether they had won or lost that match.

It sounds trivial but for a machine, it's anything but that.

The plugin has been uploaded to:

www.tnm7.de/downloads/rescrk.zip

If you would like to help, please unzip that file to the NEWPLUGS folder sitting inside your TNM folder. Start up TNM, tell it to install the new plugin and then run it.

You won't see anything happening but when it's done, TNM will return you to the main menu.

When that has happened, there will be a new file called MATCHES.TXT in your TNM7SE\TNM7SE folder.

If you were able to mail that to me at [e-mail], you'd really help me out tremendously in providing as robust a program as I can.

Thank you!

Oliver, I attempted to do this on my build 6 version because I have 45 cards in a circuit on that build. When I run it I get an error "Untrapped Error #9 (Subscript/Pointer out of range) has occurred following execution of OC_LOADR)

[tnmlyger]

Thank you for that, Sean. It had a problem reverse engineering results that had people who were no longer in your TNM under that name. I've uploaded a new version of the plugin with that fixed.

Still having issues. With the new version getting "Untrapped Error #76 (Path not found) has occurred following execution of GETCONF5.

[tnmlyger]

I'm stumped. This should never be able to happen... unless there's a circuit in your circuit list where the circuit folder no longer exists.

Is there any chance you could ZIP up your TNM and send it my way ([e-mail], probably best via a service like SendFiles or WeTransfer)?

Thanks so much, Sean!

I installed and ran the plugin, and it went back to the main menu with no errors. But it didn't seem to create any "MATCHES.TXT" file.

[tnmlyger]

I appreciate it - thank you. That file would sit in the TNM7SE\TNM7SE folder. If it's not there, something prevented it from creating the file.

Basically there are billions of possible things that can occur in a circuit, and I'm adding things I hadn't considered bit by bit as the "MATCHES" come in :-)
