2007 and My Utilities
At this point, I think most of my tools work on 2007. However, a lot of the utilities are no longer needed, as they are part of the game now; at least the concept.
Historical Photos are automatically brought into the game from a location where they are stored. This is very nice, however, it is not the perfect solution, as players with the same name as other players are overwritten. With the facegen, people generally may not want to use the minor league collection I was using for fictional leagues. However, some will feel the facegen is not their cup of coffee. The main purpose of AUphoto2007 will be to fine tune the photos. I have newly found photos on my server, so you can have my program grab any new found pictures to fill in the ones that are missing in your collection. It also allows you to have a different photo(s) for each player, based on the year. So, you can have a different photo for 2002 and for 2003 for the same player.
While there is a way to have OOTP automatically load in logos, it is not year related. My logo program is now part of AUPhoto2007 and puts in the correct historical logo for each team and year.
The rest of the programs should still work, once I do some minor mods to each one. That will not be done until the 2007 game is released.
The almanac is very complete in 2007, in fact way complete, if I can say that. So my almanac program will go away, but, part of it will live on. You can save the CSV files per month and/or per year and decide what files to save. So, you can now look at a player's complete history of his ratings, month by month, over his whole career.
So, once the game is released, that is when I will start to write my fun stuff. So, have your suggestions ready. This new version of OOTP has so much stuff in it, that I will have a hard time writing as many utilities that I did last year. But you know me, I will find something to program.
