Never mind. I just had to reinstall it. I got everything now. Thanks again for creating it (the editor).

JD,
 
Any way to add a rookie draft pool into this, so we can edit rookie pools?
 
Or is that part of free agents?

JD,

Any way to add a rookie draft pool into this, so we can edit rookie pools?

Or is that part of free agents?

As of right now, no. Only because I am still learning the ins and outs of this game. I am not 100% positive how the game handles certain things (draft classes being one of them). I am currently making a list of things to look into as soon as I get the game. I will add a "rookie section" to that list.

As of right now, I am already working on an update (version 1.3). I just added the ability to change a player's position and the ability to edit the player's bio. Once I add a few more options, I will probably release the new version. I know I keep releasing new versions like every day, but I made the program from scratch, so I am remembering to add things like 10 minutes after I upload the file.

If this is annoying to you guys, let me know, and I will just wait until a massive change before releasing updates.

Anyway, I hope you are enjoying this editor! It sounds like you are. [:)]

Load a league prior to the draft.

Hello JD,
 
   Very Nice Job on this Editor,its so much easier[:)] Any Chance of changing Skin and Faces?

I think the rookies will be listed as free agents prior to drafting them.

Players not on a team are given the '0' team id, at least free agents are during a season, I have a feeling that the draft pool is also.

Any Chance of changing Skin and Faces?

Simply put, if it can be changed, it can be incorperated into my editor. By Skin and faces, you mean the "SkinTone" and "FaceImage" fields in the leage database? If so, then yes, that will probably be incorperated in the next version or the one immediately after that.

My guess is that 1 means light, 2 means medium, and 3 means dark for skin tone (or vice versa)?

And, will someone explain the values for "FaceImage" to me?

As far as rookies go, there is a field called "YearsPro." I would assume that rookies have 0 years pro. However, all the league files I have currently have all the players with 0 years pro. Can someone enlighten me on this too?

Btw, keep nailing those suggestions at me. I plan on making this a "one size fits all" program to suit all your desires and needs.

JD

ok JD, you asked.
 
How about adding a portion for stats.  Maybe something that allows you export stats from the database into HTML reports.  I know the game already has that, but its not real function.
 
Is this possible?

If this gets stored in a league file, then yes. Extracting stuff from the database is easy. I think writing the stats into an HTML format woudn't require too much work. However, to be honest, this type of update would be in a Max FB Database Editor v 2.0 type update. Basically, anything in my next MAJOR update will be after I own the game to see how in game stuff is stored (like stats, game results, drafts, scheduling... although the schedule is pretty self explanitory).

Consider your request added to my list

JD

Thanks bro

Here is the folder with the player stuff and facemasks.

Also, im pretty sure the 'StadiumTurftype' field in the teams table is as follows:

0 Turf
1 Grass

The 'Field Size' field in the Leagues table is:
0 Arena(50yd Field)
1 US Pro
2 US Amateur
3 CFL

so where do we donate to the JD "get the game"?

Sigh... I'm really trying to work this out with David. I know there's been like 7 people message me about this, and I don't mean to keep blowing you off. I am really appreciative of your offers, trust me! I feel bad that I haven't accepted any of them yet, but I am waiting to hear back from David. I really can't say more than that. I will let you guys know as soon as I know what's going on on his end.

Hey JD....that was some fast work. I love seeing a college in my roster printout now. Gives the players a bit more of a background.

gotta boss.  Sorry, just appreciate your work.

Just to confirm, you edit the players in the draft by selecting Free Agents in the 'Filter by Team' dropdown box of JDs utility.

I just reset the default USMFL league and started a draft. The players are all there, they are given 0 as a team ID which means they arent on a team. They are in the FAs/Draft Pool.

awesome

Is there a better way to distinguish between FA's or Rookies? I would love to add a seperate "Rookies" sorting option. My guess would be the "years pro" field. But, every league I have says "0" for that field. Every league I have is also a brand new league. Does every new league consider all players to have played "0 years"? And, if that's the case, should I add an option to change the number of years so people could make NFL rosters and stuff like that?

Anyway, any answers are good answers. Thanks!

Yes and yes!

Hi.
 
JD, please check your PM's
 

Is there a better way to distinguish between FA's or Rookies?

 
A free agent is any player that is not on a league team currently, but has played at least one league game. [LeagueGamesPlayed] field > 0
 
A draft eligible player is not on a team currently and has 0 league games played.
 

My guess would be the "years pro" field. But, every league I have says "0" for that field.

 
This field is only advanced at the end of a season. So I would assume the leagues you have simply haven't completed a full season yet.
 
thanks
David
