PureSim's addin model allows for some pretty cool mods to be created in the game, but besides a few guys, it was never really used much. Are there any programmers (VB6, VB.NET, C#, SQL) out there that would be interetsed in developing some addins?

If so I will go ahead and go through the chore of updating the documentation on how to write an addin and the addin database structure etc.

Hey Shaun,
 
I'm a C#/VB.NET/SQL developer irl...if I can help, just let me know.

Shaun,

By profession I am a AS/400 RPG programmer, DEC ALPHA/VAX Basic, C, Cobol programmer and specialize in ERP packages and conversions. [&:]

But I have a copy of Visual Studio 6 at home and have been playing around with it for some time. I was looking at the addin code and samples and was going to get a few things looked at for the game after my I get time to load the game, load VS6 and work slows down a tad. But I am willing to help make this game better. [:)]

I am limited though to using VB6 because I do not have the .net products yet.

I have some ideas lined up but want to make sure that it is doable before I put anything out here on the boards.......[:)]

I would greatly appreciate any updated information....I waited a few years for another company to open up the data and then when they did I found myself playing PureSim instead.....[;)] I hope to be a 3rd party mod contributor to help make this program soar.......

Regards,


Steve Rohde

I am a .NET developer. I don't have a lot of spare time, but I'd love to contribute to this great product wherever I can.

Yes, please!!! Was hoping you would do an update to the add-in Samples/Doc's, Shaun. Please!!!

I am a programmer by trade, but I never really did any mod/add in work for anything outside of a couple of things I wrote a few years back for an online league I was in. After coding all day usually the last thing I want to do is code when I get home, but I would certainly be interested in seeing how you are making some of your stuff, if only to learn something from a programmer of your caliber.

I have experience in VB6, Oracle, Visual FoxPro, SQL, some Java, and am studying up on C# now. I do have Visual Studio.NET at home

I am not a programmer but I still write vb6, sql and asp/html for fun (fun?). Would like to do some creating. Made a few addins, plus the always evolving SimScheduler.

Link to my addins thread

No not really but I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night!

God I'm so lame [:D]

I love add-ins.  Those who make they have my full appreciation.  They really add to the game.

Same here. Not a programmer but willing to be an idea guy, a tester...whatever is needed to help out those who can.

Are add-ins available somewhere? I know of the fours sample add-ins that come in the game, but are there others? If so where might they be found?

Thanks

Here's a link to a thread Abev created with some add-ins he made. Thier great, go check them out http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1194029

Also go check out Padrefans site that has alot of goodies for Puresim

thanks ak.


Shaun I think it would be great if you give and extra tab on the player card for 3rd party addins. I have thought of a few addins but there are specific to the player; going back and forth to the addin menu would be a chore.

Where their ever scouting reports in PS? With the extra levels of minors and so many to keep track of (give me more) I would like to create a scouting report that takes into consideration their ratings, stats, improvments in both rating and stats, a dash of rnd, and a bunch of canned text scouting reports. "Showing improvement in his power. Projected 5 hitter." "Flat curveball. Fastball has no hop. Career minor leaguer."

There could be a comparison of ratings and some elaborate alogrithm which would point to the canned txt responses. The best thing about the scouting report is none of it has to be accurate [;)] But it could definately help the GM make a decision or two.

Thanks for the response.  After asking the question, I found those on PadraFans site.  I guess they were not there the last time I was looked.

Suggestions for add-ins I would like to see: (No programming knowledge).  These might not be possible or might not require an add-in, but I have not found a way.

1.  Print game logs on paper or to a file where they can be read outside the game and perhaps searched for key words.
2.  (Second suggestion deleted as I finally found it in the game.)

That's weird. I was doing a deep dive on the addin and expantion pack extensibility code this weekend and I had that same exact thought!

I love this stuff so you may see that soon. I still need to writeup a Visual Basic 2005 Express edition (free at Microsoft) addin tutorial. PureSim supports .NET 2.0 based customizations 100%.

Have mostly done web (php & html) and sql stuff, but am really thinking about messing with the mods for this game.

umm that would be friggin sweet! I am building up my vb6 code addin and I am dying to put it into the player card. I am a ways off yet, but if I can get the idea translated into code I may have something very interesting.

Can I write the addin with the intention of being able to get the data from the player card as opposed to the whole team from the addin screen?
