Version 9a Patch
Last updated: May 18, 2004
This page describes the bug fixes that are included in the version 9a
patch. You can download the patch files by clicking on the links at the
bottom of this page.
Because the version 9 game and the version 9 encyclopedia are shipped
as separate Windows programs, we've provided patch files for each of those
programs. If you use the Encyclopedia, you'll need to download and install
both of them in order to get all of the changes.
The version 9a patch includes all bug fixes and enhancements that have
been made since version 9 was first released, so this is the only patch
you need to install in order to get your copy of Diamond Mind Baseball
completely up to date.
For general information on downloading and installing version 9 patches,
and for links to pages describing the changes in other patches that have
been released to date, please see the Version
9 Patches page.
Bugs fixed in the version 9a patch
The following list describes most of the corrections that have been made
in this patch. In addition to the listed items, we have also corrected
minor problems with a few reports, fixed a few glitches in the play-by-play
commentary, and cleanup up some anomalies in the user interface.
- fixed a NetPlay bug in which the substitution window might display
in a size too small to work with when a mandatory substitution is required
and the chat window is active at the time the substitution window is displayed
- fixed two timing bugs in NetPlay games, one involving intentional walks
and one involving run/throw decisions. In both cases, the problem arose
only when the two managers were using different settings for the speed
of the play-by-play commentary and one manager (the one with the faster
setting) entered a decision before the other computer was still busy displaying
play by play commentary.
- fixed a bug involving the Quick 1-1 command when the computer manager
was handling the offense and a human manager the defense. The Quick 1-1
command was acting like the Quick 1-1-1 command, always choosing the swing
away option for the offense rather than asking the computer manager to
choose a strategy.
- fixed a bug in which it was possible to illegally replace a pitcher
who had yet to face a batter or retire the side. This problem occurred
only when changing pitchers directly from the bullpen window on the main
game window; the rule was being correctly enforced when changes were made
through the substitution window.
- fixed a bug in which the game would sometimes behave incorrectly when
the defense chose to throw to second on a double steal
- restored the ability to make players ineligible on a team being handled
by the computer manager
- corrected the sequence of the manager tendencies section of the manager
profile report (the one that shows in the Report tab of the Roster/MP
window). Previoiusly, the labels for the last three tendencies were in
the wrong order, though the settings were being stored correctly and used
in the game correctly.
- previously, when creating a pitcher using the "Overall" method
and with the option to have DMB estimate 2B and 3B allowed, DMB was correctly
using the values you entered to create an event table for the pitcher,
but was subsequently replacing those values with estimated figures for
2B and 3B allowed, giving the false impression that the entered values
were ignored. This has been fixed.
- in the Encyclopedia, fixed a bug in web site generation that sometimes
caused the league game results report to be empty
