We've been using the Nightwulf site for our Draft league and now the site is down. RBI manager doesn't work on newer PC. the 30 team editor I've never gotten a good answer on how to make pitchers as acurate as possbile to OG in the 30 team rom..

That is running on the "old" server and was long overdue to be retired.  I tried to get it working on the new one with no luck, I don't know Perl programming so it was beyond my abilities. 

Last week my main workstation (which runs Dee-Nee as a VM) died, since I'm not home I had to move the site/forums to the machine the editor was running on.  Only way to get it going was to take down the old site, so it's indefinitely down. 

I honestly had no idea people were using it regularly, that said unless nightwulf (who barely is active anymore) wants to put in the effort to get it working it's probably not coming back.

Well for now the 30 team editor is your best option. You can also try hex editing...... If you are interested in learning I can provide a few tools and help out.
Why is there crying in RBI?? There's no crying in baseball!

I may be able to spin that VM up but run on a different port.  Will only be useful to you as the URL will change but worth a shot.  I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Ok here we go....

Just gonna start by saying that the following info was compiled over hours of research. I have hade to look through tons of old forums on this site to find this stuff. Not trying to brag but just a fair warning that this might be a lot.

10 team info

RBI baseball hacking - https://justpaste.it/47lhx - some random info as well as exerpts from the attached doc
RBI text editing sheet - https://justpaste.it/47p8o - will make more sense once you read tecmoturds doc (attached)

30 team info
https://justpaste.it/bgh72 - has a lot of the attached docs stuff. I also included some random locations

Some fourms to look at:

Let me know if you have any questions

FYI - I also just joined the tsb discord so I can help there as well.

Well I tried for awhile today but I can't get the site to load on an alternate port - some stuff must be hardcoded to port 80.  Quite frankly it's too much hassle for me and without nightwulf around to fix it'll stay in hibernation.

Looks like the 30 team editor is the new normal, wish I had a better answer

It seems that the editor opens, and you can interact with it. However it doesn't seem to successfully load roms to edit anymore --teams & icons are blank, etc. I'm glad that there are a few other people that have taken notice of this. If I happen upon any solutions, I'll come back here & post again.

Yep, it points to the new site but won't run on it.  Too much low level perl and/or SELinux stuff for me to fix

Damnit - It was time for a Heaven/Hell update.  Don't want to screw with the 30 team game.  Time to look for a new 10 team tool.

Anyway to run the VM locally on my machine and use the editor?

Hey Briz!

The VM is huge and it would take too long for me to strip it down and remove all the hundreds (thousands) of people's personal data off it, including my own.  I'm too lazy to make that happen :(

How big?  What hypervisor does it run on?

It's 60GB I think, runs on Hyper-V

Anyway to get a copy of that?  I've been wanting to update the Heaven vs Hell ROM for a while, and just started playing NEW again with my daughters.  Kind of fired up the RBI itch.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be comfortable sending it out.  It has 15+ years of personal data from the forums, my two wikis, my personal stuff etc.  I know you wouldn't do anything intentionally malicious with it, but that's got data/passwords/etc for me and hundreds of other people on it.  It would take untold hours to remove that info and quite frankly even after I wouldn't be sure I got everything.
