Scores per quarter can't be calculated, and that's why they haven't been included so far. Even if I included them as part of the box score, you'd still have to manually enter them.

I should have figured that if they weren't in there it's because you can't do it. Everything else is in there...lol

v1.5.1.3 Beta released!

- Improvement: Tool now supports importing from REDitor after a team's been renamed (e.g. renaming the Kings to Supersonics between imports will not cause any problems anymore)
- Fix: Fixed crash introduced in v1.5.1.2 that would crash the tool when going to Team Overview in a multi-season database and trying to view a team
- Fix: When starting a new season, the name given to the season by the user would be left unused, using just the season number instead
- Fix: Fixed crash when saving a player in Player Overview

As noted in the update notification message, I'm constantly releasing updates as bugs are being discovered and fixed. Big thanks go to everyone that has helped recently, including albidnis and Pitar.

Latest version as of this post is v1.6.2.3. If you want to know what's new and what's fixed in each version, you can always check the "What's New.txt" file in the folder NBA Stats Tracker is installed to.

I was thinking, how much information do you want to be able to export back into your save? Right now, NST only updates Player Stats in the saves, and that's only if you disable "Only Export/Update Team Stats", which is on by default. Would you like to be able to edit, say, injuries, height & weight, contracts, and pretty much everything that's being imported? Or should that be left to manual user edits only via REDitor and the game itself?

I went back to the last version so that I can keep playing. On your question I would like to see how easy you can make editing on NST

I found the bug. I'll try to fix it ASAP. Try not using your database until then, there's some corruption that I'll make sure is fixed and you'll be able to use it.

No, there was actually a big bad bug that saved some Player Box Scores incorrectly, so that's why you were getting those error messages. Download v1.6.2.4 of NST, and a fixed copy of your database from http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hlaodc9lnuwsnhj.

I couldn't salvage your own players' stats from 2 of the Box Scores (GameIDs 2 & 6, you can check which these are in League Overview > Box Scores), so some analysis features based on all the player stats being in the box scores might not work right unless you re-enter them by opening them via Team Overview > Kings > Box Scores, going to the Kings tab, and entering the player stats.

Don't worry though, hopefully this corruption will never happen again. Both your database (the one I provided) and your save should be fine with v1.6.2.4, and you will only be missing some of the analysis features if you don't re-enter your players' stats from those 2 games. All Team and Player Stats outside of box scores should be perfect, and you can keep on using NST like you normally do with the fixed database file I provided in this post.

Sorry for the trouble. Hope this doesn't happen again, the latest version of NST should make sure of that, I hope.

Everyone, PLEASE do not use older versions of NBA Stats Tracker. If your database is crashing with any of the latest versions, please tell me first. Continuing on using your database with older versions that lack so many of the bug-fixes that have been done since then may cause corruption to your database that may not be repairable.

So I used a backup of the DB with a previous version of NST and that worked fine. Can't I now just try to install the new NST without the DB

I recommend using the DB I provided in my previous post with the latest version of NST. "Working fine" doesn't mean there aren't bugs afflicting your DB without you knowing.

If you progressed that backup of the DB and the one I sent you is now older, give me your most current DB so that I can attempt to do the same fixes, so that you can use the latest version of NST with it.

Thanks to Pitar and his extensive suggestions and reports, I've done quite some work on squashing bugs and improving things around the tool. Latest version now is v1.6.4, which features a much improved Advanced Stats Calculator, and better performance all around the program.

Check out Pitar's Seattle SuperSonics story which uses NBA Stats Tracker!

Here's the full changelog since the last post:
v1.6.4 Beta
- Improvement: Player metrics in Advanced Stats Calculator are no longer calculated based on the team the player is currently in, but rather by the total team performances in the games the player participated
- Fix: Fixed various scenarios that would cause the tool to crash when using Advanced Stats Calculator
- Improvement: Advanced Stats Calculator highlights the players and teams used as part of the filtering
- Addition: Added Show All option in Advanced Stats Calculator, which calculates all the player and team stats based on the available box scores, using the player metrics calculation method implemented in this release
- Improvement: Optimized League Notables calculation speed, which in turn should decrease the delay when opening a database
- Fix: Fixed some cases where a player in League Leaders or Notables would have 0 points per game due to incorrect criteria on the calculation
- Fix: Fixed some stats showing up as NaN in League Notables
- Improvement: Transitioned to an optimized implementation of the code that reads any information from the database, which should improve the performance of the program all around

v1.6.3.3 Beta
- Fix: Recommended 2K Ratings table wouldn't copy its headers
- Fix: Fixed Bench situational showing nothing in cases where the team didn't have enough players available for one or more positions that weren't also in the recommended Starters situational

v1.6.3.2 Beta
- Fix: Minutes was missing as a parameter from the choices available in Advanced Stats Calculator

v1.6.3.1 Beta
- Fix: Fixed Player Stats (Unmet Criteria) tab in Advanced Stats Calculator not having metric stats calculated for it

v1.6.3 Beta
- Addition: Added Player Metric Stats to results of Advanced Stats Calculator
- Improvement: Divided the columns of the search results in Advanced Stats Calculator and Advanced Player Search into categories
- Fix: Fixed Close button in Advanced Stats Calculator doing nothing
- Fix: Fixed another bug which in some occurrences when calculating metrics in leagues where the active teams' IDs weren't continuous from 0 to 29 would cause the application to crash

- Addition: Can now save Advanced Stats Calculator filters for later use

v1.7.1 Beta released!

- Improvement: "League News" window after a REDitor import now has information clearly separated into League Transactions and Injury Updates

Great work per usual Leftos. I laughed seeing that you used my association database to showcase the advanced stats tool. I hadn't looked that closely at the Pistons yet--even though the team is doing really well Iggy hasn't found his place yet in the teams offence. Curious!

I may add conf/div records to my standings now that you've added them to the team stats tab. I couldn't be bothered typing them out! Have you thought about a separate tab for standings altogether? I wonder if the team stats tab would make a standings tab obsolete, but they're not really the same thing.
