Note: Note: This version of Rating Translator is not compatible with previous versions (eg. V0.80b and v0.81b). This means that the old versions of rating_translation.csv can not and should not be used with the new version.
Note: If you are new to this utility, please read the manual (can be found in program file shortcuts) first. Even if you are already familiar with the old version of this utility, I still strongly recommend you to read the readme/manual file since there are quite a few changes from the old versions.
Note:If you have previous version installed, it is strongly recommended that you uninstall any previous version of Rating Translator.
**************************************************
Note: CommishJoe's CSV Exporter v1.01 is required to be used prior using this program. (The CSV files generated from the CommishJoe's CSV Exporter are used as the input data files here.) Also, special thanks to CommishJoe for making the CSV Exporter. This mod wouldn't have been a reality without his wonderful add-on mod.
Note: The {players.csv; bat_stats.csv; pitch_stats.csv} are used as the data source for translator.bat to generate the rating to stats look-up table. The {players.csv} is used as the data source for scout.bat. The above mentioned files are the CSV files needed from CommishJoe's CSV Exporter.
Version: 0.92b
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change/Fixes in v0.92b
- Expected performance projection model is somewhat tweaked/changed in order to improve the performance projection accuracy.
- Double to triple ratio is now changed from the previous fixed league average ratio to become dependent to speed rating.
This means that 2B, 3B, and SLG projection is now more accurate.
* The above two changes demand necessary changes to rating_translation.csv. As a result, this version is not backward compatible with previous versions of Rating Translator. The users must perform “Translator” function (stats to rating mapping) again when switching to the newer version.
- More performance projection metrics are added.
Performance metrics such as FIP, ERC, and XR are added. This is provided to give a more comprehensive look on the player’s expected performance.
- Fixed the “contact=0” known issue. This is achieved by both changing the code associated with reading CSV files and implementing an illegal CSV data source input protection. The input protection will prevent illegal value inputs (eg. rating values < 1). For more details, please see section 6 “Known Issues”.
- True independency between “Translator” and “Player Scout” function. Simultaneous scouting for multiple leagues is now fully supported.
This is done to provide support for multi-league scouting. In previous versions, “Player Scout” function is only restricted to the last league data files used by “Translation” function since the path argument is internally stored and passed on to “Player Scout”. Now, there is a separate path argument for “Player Scout”. The end result is that you can use “Player Scout” while jumping from league to league.
- Manual has been almost completely rewritten in order to provide more helpful info.
For anyone who is using this utility, I strongly recommend that you read the manual. In this version, I have also provided tips and tweaks for improving the accuracy of Rating Translator.

Hi,
This is a add-on utility mod specifically created for OOTP6.
And this is also my first attempt (second public version) to in add-on utility mod creation.
The purpose of this add-on is to translate the players' ratings into stats (expected performance).
The translation between ratings and the expected performance is a problem that has no easy answer. The rating to stats translation needs to be done within context, not depending on pre-determined translation formulas. The actual translation depends on league total setting, rating itself and also the opposition rating. In short, pretty much every league will have its own unique rating translation formulas. This program is designed to perform the translation dynamically. The utility program attempts the rating translation by constructing a rating/actual stats loop-up table and then calculating the regression formula (best-fit line) for each rating/stats relationship. By doing this, the rating/stats translation is guaranteed to be tailor-made to the individual league setup.
As metioned above, the tanslation formula is generated from the rating translation look-up table. The construction of the look-up table is done by list the x-y table between the weighted-average of ratings and weighted-average of stats. Then the rating to stats translation formulas are calculated by using regression method. After that, the expected stats performance of the user desinated player is calculated. A sample output of the program is demostrated below:

Note: If the talent rating scale is different than the ability rating scale, then the talent translation will be incorrect.

Both expected pitching and batting performances are calculated. The rating scale of rating translation is designed to be flexible. This means the translation will be based on the rating scale set in the league setting. Also, the expected performance is given as a range value. "Mid" is the direct stats translation from exact rating. (eg. rating of 5) "High" is the translation for rating + half rating point (eg. rating of 5.5) and "Low" is the translation for rating - half rating point (eg. rating of 4.5). The range value is particularly useful for "vaguer" rating scale (eg. 1 to 5, etc.).
For more details of the mod, please read the Manual.rtf via the program startup menu shortcut.
This is the second major public build of the program. Bug fixing and further expanded functionality will be considered in the possible future version. All feedbacks and suggestions are extremely welcome. Please provide all feedbacks and suggestions in the official OOTP forum.
I only have basic programming skills, so I don't think the original mod was pleased to the eyes and such. However, with the addition of GUI wrapper written by Eriq Jaffe, I do believe this mod is not only quite functional and serves its purpose well but also quite easy to use.
Anyhow, please enjoy this add-on mod for OOTP.
Special thanks to Eriq Jaffe for making the terrific GUI wrapper for this utility program. With the addition of GUI, this utility has improved enormously regarding to user friendliness.
Special thanks to Markus for creating such a wonderful game!
Special thanks to every other mod maker in the OOTP community and the OOTP community in general! The knowledge that I learned through the OOTP community has helped me in continuing improving this utility program. I have now also come to the real understanding that it's really takes a lot of efforts to create mods.
Special thanks to YOU for choosing to use this add-on mod!
