Premiership Coach

Remove this Banner Ad

Couple other things to mention while I'm running it locally here for the first time in ages and looking around:

There's a fair bit of new stuff that was going to be Premiership Coach 2012 that i never finished.
  • GWS is already in there (players all old now, and not really rated)
  • Fixturing all working with the 18 teams
  • has been moved to run on .net 4.5, but all the WPF animations (mouse over highlighting etc) arent working currently
  • Scouting model was all significantly upgraded and working (i think - been a while)
  • more regional leagues/teams/depth and new screens to manage those. They run full match simulations now (multithreaded, so pretty fast), so the level of detail you get back on the non-afl players is far greater. If you dig around in the regional systems you have a genuine chance of finding worthwhile talent.
  • depth charts are in there & used by the AI for trading/drafting decisions
  • a lot of detailed mouseover stuff in the grids, mini player profiles, club details etc.
  • more stuff i cant remember

Perfect. I'll wait for everything to upload before taking a look at this.

If anyone wants to work on this with me, I'll be looking at starting a Premiership coach PM, so let me know your interest and I'll set one up

Not much use with graphic designs etc but happy to help in anyway.

Given up on sorceforge - havent been able to push anything up there without timeouts, and not finding any config to adjust.

Moved to bitbucket & pushed game engine up with no trouble. Haydo, let me know when you have an account up there and I'll get you added as an admin.

I'm pretty good with Photoshop, so if you need some graphics done up, add me in. I've seen the image files in the game and it's dripping with potential.

I believe that this project is beyond the scope of my capabilities.

Not only do I get errors (1425 of them) when compiling but, upon further inspection, there are multiple calls to an external component (Telerik RadCharts and other controls) which requires a separate purchase. A lot of the UI is built using this which means that I cannot even view the game to attempt to make changes and see their effects.

To me, it looks like only Grenville has the ability to make any real changes.

Did you add the Telerik dll files as a reference? When you load the project, it says that the references are missing but you can just fix that as the required dll files are in one of the folders. Once you add the files as a reference you get no errors and can run the game. Unfortunately after that, the game crashes when you try to make a new game.

Interesting.

Are you able to take screenshots as to what you're referring too?

Thanks for that. I haven't fixed everything but now I only get 13 errors when trying to compile.

Haydo, I took the dll files from the Premiership Coach UI\Premiership Coach App\Controls folder and copied them to my Windows 10 system folder (C:\Windows\System32). Still not there but getting closer.

Now I am not 100% sure that I am running the correct project file. I have been loading the PremiershipCoach.sln file from the main folder (which has a Visual Studio 12 logo). When tracking down the dlls, I found a PC2009.sln file (VS10 logo) as well as a vbproj file.

I am using VS 2017.

No, I'm still getting errors. The main error is related to The name RadChart [or StyleManager] does not exist in the namespace "http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation". I have googled that error and found others with that problem but haven't gotten any further.

This error is because you haven't added the references properly. I suggest you google how to add references to the project if you do not know how to.

You aren't required to move the dll files over to another folder. There are 6 files of interest that you want to add as references which I've shown below. upload_2017-10-21_15-17-59.png

I've made a step by step guide on how to add the references to the project. This is for Visual Studio 2017 but it shouldn't be too different for an older version.
1. Open the project in Visual Studio.
2. In the Solution Explorer window, right click on the "Premiership Coach" project and click on properties.
3. On the left hand side, click on references.
4. Scroll down the list of references. You should see the names of the 6 Telerik files, and it should say <The system cannot find the reference specified>. Remove all 6 of these references.
5. Re-add the references by clicking on add and then browse. The files are in Premiership Coach UI > Premiership Coach App > Controls. You can select all 6 files at once.
6. Make sure the checkbox to the left of the file name is selected and then click ok.
7. Run the project, it should load.

You may be left over with 1 warning that is something along the lines of "The referenced component 'PrestentationDesignDeveloper' could not be found". The game still runs with this warning.

Ok mate, done all that now I know this is probably a stupid question but how do I run the project?

There should be a start button on the toolbar at the top. There are other ways to get it running too but I don't use Visual Studio much so you will have to find that out.
 
Thanks, uncustom. Those instructions were very clear and I am able to get into the game. Much appreciated.

When selecting New Career, I get a popup saying You are running a trial version of RadControls for WPF. Would you like to get details on purchasing a registered version? I hit cancel and then continue.

Have you been able to run the game at all. uncustom and I are having trouble when selecting a new career that the game doesn't reconize Gold Coast as a club and we're getting errors. Grenville, any idea why this might be?
