Hi pple,

Hi,  I`m a noob posting my 1st post so thought i`d say hello to every1 at Amos Factory.  And its the 1st time i`ve used amos in about 20 yrs(not since it came out orginally).

Couple of questions if any1 can answer:

1. Installed AMOS pro but my files wont save i installed with workbench 3.1 and on winuae any suggestions?

2. Thinking of makibng a football manager sim like champ manager 94' how would I go about programming the match in Amos i.e a virtual match  any help appreciated before I start work on it.

Cheers

Pan

Hi PanTheMan!

Merry Christmas to you first of all.

beyond that.....
in answer to question 1 - i would suggest you check out how you have set up your HardDrives on winuae. i know it's possible to 'lock out' HD write-access... maybe you have done this, and it's just a check-box you need to tick/untick (i admist i havent used winuae for a long time, so i'm not sure)


question 2 - this is one of the most open-ended questions i've ever seen on this forum!! it very much depends pn how you want to approach the management end of your game.


I am not saying that this is what you "should" do, but this is how i would approach such a game:

i would look at putting in place a timer, to regulate your 90 minutes (plus extras) first of all. do you want 90 minutes to be displayed across a genuine 90mins, or across 3 minutes?

you then have a BIG decision to make; "real" style activities (where the ball can be tracked across the whole "90 mins") or do you want your game to just follow the "major" events of the match? (goals, free-kicks, bookings, sending-offs, etc)

the above will massively affect how you program the rest of the game/match.

 after that, it's a matter of generating random / seeded events depending on how you want the game to play out. You weigh randoms decisions in-favour/against certain outcomes, depending on player/team skill and/or abilities (depending on how much data you wish to track), home/away advantage, genuine 'random factor' , (and probably other aspects i cant think of right now!) , ..... from using this you can generate info on how your game "plays out"... maybe you can include such factors as having a good half-time team talk inspiring your players (all you need to do is weigh the random factors in the team's favour afterwards) - or perhaps multiple scorings (such as going 3-0 down) "un-inspires" a team to potentially concede more goals.....

at this stage the game is really left as open as you want it to be... there are many elements to consider!

I am sorry if my comments seem to cut-short, but you havent really picked the best time (i've just got in from the pub after xmas eve!) but i also hope it's given you enough to think-about/consider! I have played a lot of "SWOS" (sensi world of soccer) in my time, although, not so much pure-management-sims, but i hope it's enough to help you out for now!!

good luck, and please let me know what you think of the comments so-far, and i'll be happy to provide more

Great help actually!!! Happy xmas not doing much xmas night so i`d thought i`d do some reading up.

I`ll check the HD's of my winuae config and hopefully that will solve the problem.

What I would like to do is run it with "real activities".  And then display the major events that happens then like you explained i.e ronaldo steps up to take the free kick.

Thank you, you`ve been a great help back to reading till the morning.
