[Cyanide] How to post BBDigital Team Rosters

[jrpeart]

So I recently learned how to post decent looking rosters like this:


When I posted the first one I was asked by Narly how I'd done it and I said I'd be looking to post a how to guide when I got the time. Obviously I've now had the time .

Anyway I learnt this from a post by Dode on the occ forums so most of the information will be lifted straight from his guide (except I have created a bbtactics league instead).

Here goes with a step by step:
1. Log in to BB and go to the team management page (the roster).
2. Alt-tab out and open your internet explorer.
3. Sign in on the BBDigital homepage: Home - you may need to create an account if you don't have one, this is activated manually so there will be a delay of at least a few hours.
4. Press "Leagues" (far right on top horizontal menu).
5. Filter by league name for b.
6. Scroll down to bbtactics and click the league name.

(4. to 6. alternative: go to Leagues)

7. For the first upload of a team click the top "Choose file" button. For further uploads you can press the second one to update an existing team.
8. This should open up C:\Users\Name\Documents\BloodBowlLegendary\Saves\N et where you will find net.db (On my machine it is tmp.db or tmpg.db, either way it is the most recent .db file in there).
9.Select and upload that file. You will need to enter the password bbtactics before pressing Upload Team. (Note the first time it opens it may not be pointing at the right folder so you'll have to navigate to \Documents\BloodBowlLegendary\Saves\Net manually).
9. You should be taken to a team screen like this one. Screenshot it using Prt Scrn.
10. Open up a graphics editor (Dode uses paint.net, I use GIMP) and paste with ctrl+v. Crop to size and save the file before uploading it to an image hosting site such as photobucket, then post the link here in IMG tags:

I followed all the instructions, but when i go to take the screenshot, i have to zoom out to 50% size in order to see my full roster on the computer screen. Then when i paste it to Paint.net, the resolution is too bad (once enlarged again) to make it legible...

Any suggestions?

Use irfanview (free) or snagit (less free) or some other program that can manage to scroll down while taking screenshots.

Here, Narly, made one for You (should be ok resolution-wise):

Please copy it to Your own photobucket account as weird things happen to files on mine.

Thanks for the great guide, jrpeart!

Well the suggestion from Nikolai beats my best suggestion of get a bigger monitor .

More seriously I reckon anything that increases the size of screen area available would help as well. Things such as autohiding the task bar (right click on task bar - properties - tick auto hide) and having a browser with minimal toolbars on it would certainly help get the viewing area up and might be enough to sneak the roster onto the screen.

Like I said, I nicked most of the guide from Dode on the OCC forums but your welcome Mico.

With some browsers - Opera, Firefox, Chrome, don't know about any others - you can press F11 to enter a fullscreen mode (and press it again to get back to normal).
