player origins

bronco6710 · 08-26-2004, 04:04 AM

I know there are some great utilities for editing player origins out there, but I was looking for a way to change it so that it spits out only the names Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Faroe Islands or something like that for my Scandinavian league which I'm starting (I found a great name file, which I didn't expect at all

) So, is this possible?

If you just want the country names without cities, you could probably do it yourself.

1) Export Player General Info (from League Setup / Misc.)
2) Open player_general.csv in Notepad
3) Do a find-and-replace for each country name in the file
Example: change ",USA," to ",Sweden,"
4) Import Player General Info

The only thing is that you'd have a majority of players from whatever country you changed USA to. I guess you could split the file in half or thirds if you wanted to even out the distribution a bit.

If you want to forward (davwms@direcway.com) the name file, I could add these to the OOTP Originator program.. http://www.pt-sports.com/OOTP/
