JaysDailyDose OOTP 15 QuickStart Projects!

[jaysdailydose]

Hello everyone!

Now that I have access to the wiki to store my files to share with the community, I wanted to have a single place to post all links to what I create, and also to make one defined place for anyone who would like to request a league or universe to be created for their use.

This thread will always be under construction, but every league I create will be shared both in direct link here AND on the OOTPWiki! Support the wiki, everyone, we've got an amazing resource to aid in the most customizable game on the planet! Thanks, as always, to the entire OOTP Developments team!

ALL Projects use QuestDog's names file. It might be the greatest single immersion mod ever created. THANK YOU, QUESTDOG!

Thanks for this. I will definitely be in touch regarding a quickstart idea I'd like to see made. Thanks!

You're more than welcome.

Jaws might drop a little bit when people see "Heroes and Villains" though. I'm definitely compiling a project list, though... I am going to play a bit after this project, though. Depending on what it is, if its something I can do fast, I'll just whip it up one night when I'm bored.

Thank YOU for your interest, and I hope you enjoy the games!

How about combined Heroes and Villains with Hollywood Baseball League that was made last year?
Womens League?
World Series Teams League?
NFL? MLS? NBA? NHL?

What is the Hollywood League?

I'm still working on testing out Heroes and Villains... its my first project attempting to utilize Association this year, and its being a bit tweaky.

I could definitely do some of the four major sports leagues, those wouldn't be much of a problem at all... except maybe for MLS uniforms, the rest I think I could find pretty easy.

I'll go without that type of stuff in the minors sometimes (generally not, with the Nickname Project) -- but I won't release anything that doesn't have a full logo/jersey/cap set for all major league ballclubs... But I'll definitely look and see if there is any unis/caps available for MLS.

I've never put ladies into OOTP to be honest.

What would be the way you would want the World Series Teams quickstart done if it were to be made with JUST you in mind? Not that I would, but wondering what you'd be looking for as an end user if I was to do that project.

Thanks for your interest, friend!

Unless my next test goes a little better (not the concept, but problems with inaugural drafts across an association) I'm going to put Heroes and Villains on the backburner until the next official patch.

I am going to do one of Mgom27's request and set up an NHL quickstart. I'm really wanting to see what the next official patch affects before doing many more large projects at this point. It's just harder to test the bigger projects and there have been some issues that make certain things not ready for me to package them up.

So...

Current Project: The National Hockey League

I think it would be interesting to have another league running alongside MLB (like the WBL or Billionaire's Club) competing for players and prestige. Might be interesting if they can either post players back and forth or sell players outright to the other leagues or whatever. I think there's an interesting concept somewhere there, with two competing major leagues, though I'm not sure what the details would be.

Well, I'll reveal what the concept is behind Heroes and Villains, I'm still working on it to see if I can swing it well enough yet.

Anyway, I messaged QuestDog yesterday with an idea I had. I asked him since he was so amazing with his names file, how hard it would be to add a single word in front of all the first names in a region. At first, the word was "Immortal." To where, for this nation in the names file, it spit out Voidish (I changed to Voidian after I figured it out) players all from the Void, with names like:

Immortal Stevie Johnson
Immortal Brian Rivers

etc.

Well, once I figured out how he did that, I made another nation. This one is The Abyss.

What I'm doing is having 2 16 team leagues, associated just to run a "Universe Series."

Each one of those leagues has just two feeder teams, one from The Void which now spawns "Heroes", and the other having The Abyss, which spawns "Villains."

I then jumped their player modifiers through the roof to simulate a small number of legendary, nay, demigod-level players entering the league. My concept behind it is to have the 2 leagues run exactly the same, they still have normal players. I made all the teams American in the setup, but gave one league Eurasian names. That way, all of the players present as American.

This allows me to set the rules for each team only allowed to have 5 foreign players, with a limit of either 3 hitters and 3 hitters. So teams will wind up with 5 legends, but you'll see some carry 3 legend pitchers and 2 hitters, and vice versa.

My concept for if I wrote about this league would be that a Heroic demigod and Villain demigod made quite the entrance in trying to destroy each other. They then lay down the rules. 200 years, whichever league has more Universe Championships will control the fate of the universe. If the Heroes win, they save the universe (and the cheerleader) -- if the Villains win, well I think you know what happens.

It has been a little unstable though trying to do these larger structured leagues and associations and the like... but its mostly C++ errors, still affects my testing, however... so I'm going to do the NHL as a side project, and actually update my Dynasty Reports tonight.

WBL is it World Baseball Classic Teams if so I will use it?

Hollywood consist of Teams from Baseball Movies.
Hockey/Basketball to many Leagues but if you limit to USA Leagues
NFL has been done before but would need to include Arena League.
World Series Teams would be the teams from first World Series up into 2013 Teams and the Teams Minor League Teams from that year and just the Teams are fine because to long to Clone or Create People.

Others Ideas are Homegrown 2014 yes I did one for 2011 that CBSSPORTSLINE made a page for but not full Minor League Teams or Drafted by teams but include Teams like Montreal Expos,Boston Braves to Retired people can be include did one for 2013 but doesn't include retired People or Teams.

WBL is the World Baseball League, its completely fictional but all leagues at all levels have full graphics.

The main problem I see with your World Series teams is the huge amount of teams that would have no minor league team, and there definitely isn't enough historical players in the DB to stock a full minor league system...

[mgom27]

Thanks about World Series Teams I guess we start the year Minor League Teams started if somebody ever made one way down the Line.

I know theirs All-Time Greats League but doesn't include Minor League teams or duplicate people because like Albert P. belongs on both Angels and Cardinals .

That sounds like fun. I hope you manage to get the kinks worked out down the line.

Honestly, I tweaked a couple of things, and I'm in final testing now.

BUT, it will not have an inaugural draft function -- its too tweaky with dual leagues associated. Everything is working beautifully the way I have it setup, just want to sim it out to try to head off possible issues.

If this works the way I like, I can also do a "Battle of the Gods" to where both Younger Gods and Elder Gods appear on the Elysium Fields... QuestDog is amazing, his work has honestly opened up a whole new area of fictional worlds, really.

[jaysdailydose]

I'm going down to single league setups until the next patch at least... Things just don't feel very stable, granted, I was doing a pretty tricky project, but.

[jaysdailydose]

I am finishing up an NFL Quickstart right now. Going to add probably 50 NCAA teams to it, have to do my calculations.

I had to do some computations with the merchandising baseline, but I actually have it doing a really close job of simulating NFL finances as well. Should be enjoyable. I'll update the post when I am finished!

[mgom27]

Might take the 2 Marlins World Series Teams and combined them meaning get rid of duplicated people or taking the last 4 Expansion Teams and do their all time ones because I've tryed to do it for the Marlins and Rays.
If you could do the NFL Divisions geographic.
I know MLB Network and so on don't have 25 Analyst on Staff but maybe still do one but have MLB rosters be at no limit meaning like on MLB Network team Ripken or Reynolds or DeRosa would have to play SS. No backup Catcher to Valle.

[jaysdailydose]

I don't get what you mean at all with the MLB Network thing..

Looking to try these out, but WBL version 2 link gives me WBL Billions 1.0.

Link incorrect??

I tried to delete this message, but evidently you can't. I misread your message and gave you a link to try, but now that I read it correctly, it appears you are correct.
