This snippet looks to only load variables. What are you ultimately posting to the screen that's currently wrong? $np_time which I'm guessing is "next pick time"?

[sovstar]

The five sections at the bottom are what control the different draft time limits. >65 meaning the first two rounds. I had to goof around with those numbers since we changed the limits. I'll look at it again later, but right now I have to write a paper. Wichita will have until 10am eastern tomorrow to pick.

[JesterBlaze]

hmmnnn

you commented out a portion that adds 5 hours to the time in the code. Is that it? That'd be 10:33am but I can see you having rounded since he had time today.

Also in this part:

$cur_pick = 1183183200;

I think the "1183183200" is last offseason's hardcoded timestamp. However that doesn't look to be the issue at this point as it appears to be initialization code and the ball is already in play now.

I think this might be how it's supposed to be. At least for the 1st round and I'm sure you can change the rest. It looks like you want to take $cur_pick_base to start your math and not $cur_pick_time when working with off hours. Or I could be wrong as I can't test it.

if ($overall < 65) {
if ($cur_pick_hour < 6) {
$np_time = ($cur_pick_base + 32400); // +9 hours
} else {
if ($cur_pick_hour < 18) {
$np_time = ($cur_pick_time + 10800); // +3 hours
} else {
$np_time = ($cur_pick_base + 118800); // +1 day +9 hours from base date of pick made before midnight
}
}

Ever saw a player you didn't need but just couldn't pass up???

No. Never...

Updated the game files. Will aim to provide an update each round or so.

}
}

One problem is that the 1st value (32400) and the 3rd value (118800) of each chunk were all the same in the original code.

Most of you are asleep anyway, but I'll be picking when I have game access again in about an hour or so.

I hope G William Hodges turns out. I had him as very underrated. I took a chance last year on a non-combine draft pick (Carlton Nitschke) in the early second round and he turned out great. If Hodges is anything close to him, I'll be happy.

[JesterBlaze]

I didn't even look at guards as I have 3 good ones but Hodges, in hindsight, looks amazing. You might've done it again.

Yeah, I was targeting Hodges for the 2-1 pick since the moment the draft class was unveiled. I figured people would pass on most non-combine players in the first round. I do not believe that Hodges would last until my 2-22 pick, so I had to take him now.

So for my first two picks, my draft has been exactly how I wanted it to turn out. We'll see if we can go 3 for 3 later today. Maybe even 4 for 4 if we get that far.

[Argot]

Yuck...first round had few gems in hindsight...Donovan looks like the better QB, tho, not what either of us was hoping for. CB Jacobs looks good. 2k7 Draft is exciting and frustrating. Hoping for some late round booms. Makes you think twice about trading away a proven veteran for draft picks in the future.

[Kozure]

WOW, CB Jacobs is 73/75 developed already. WOW. Talk about ready for Primetime.

Just remember, pre-training camp ratings really don't mean much. 10 point swings in either direction aren't uncommon.
