Max Util is driving me crazy

Hi,

using hack´s v3 playbooks (thx m8), i tried to make some additional playbooks.
Therefore i splitted the original playbooks into a defense & an offense playbook.
After that i created a new playbook & imported one of the different offense or defense playbooks.
So i would come up with a playbook with the Coach_Brown offense plays & the Coach_Smith defense play for example.
So far so good.
By importing the playbooks i also imported the play group profiles.
There is where my problems starts.
Now i have many / lots of empty play group profiles & I also have profiles with plays added, that are not imported. For example i have plays from Coach_Miller, but i have only improted plays from Coach_Wilson. See screenie


Now my question: is there any other way to get rid of the empty profiles as to delete them one by one manually?
Is there anything, that i´, doing wrong?
As a sidenote: also the marks for the specific plays are also gone, after importing a playbook.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you dont mind rolling up your sleeves, you can do it another way.

Export the playbook you want to use. Go into the folder the export created and you will see a profiles dat file or something like that. It will open in notepad or another type program. It lists all plays and situations and stuff for the playbook. You can tinker with this and get rid of unwanted stuff.

Once satisfied, dlete the old pbk file and create a new one, then import your new stuff.

I used this to actually take situations from hacks playbooks and put them in some 8 man playbooks.

Question:
 
After you split them into offense and defense, did you just import them one by one in order to put them together?
 
Is it possible to import, say, two different offenses into one playbook?
 
I ask because I was thinking of trying something very similar to what you're doing, just haven't had the time or intestinal fortitude to try it yet.

Is it possible to import, say, two different offenses into one playbook? A: Yes. But its also possible just to import single plays instead of an entire playbook

Thanks for the response...I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do the playbooks for my league but I definitely don't want to spend much time on profiles...so that's why I'm leaning towards importing the whole books with their profile.

Just curious, did you ever have any more success with this?

No.
Tbh i´ve stopped this "project".
When mixing the playbooks there appeared too many problems with empty group profiles (see my 1st post in this thread).
And "cleaning" the playbooks by deleting the empty group profiles manually is way too time consuming for me atm.
I really don´t know what to do know.
By using hacks playbooks my impressions are, that there are too many low scoring games (tested them a couple of times in 3d mode) (cannot say it depends on the playbooks or the game itself --> see the discussion here in another thread.)
So now i´m considering to try the stock playbooks. But they have just basic group profiles, which means if i want more i have to define them by myself.

Yup I experienced that problem before of empty group profiles I told David about it but he wasn't seeing it. I'm glad someone else sees the problem. It really closes one avenue people could use to diversify and create playbooks quickly.
