Instructions-n-stuff (from readme file)

INSTRUCTIONS: (Read this carefully. Consider yourself warned!)

Extract contents of the zip file to your league folder. This will create a new folder named OriginData, along with the executable. The OriginData folder will house all of the necessary data files.

• Back-up your league. (Again.. Consider yourself warned!)

Within OOTP6, click on FILE and chose BACK UP LEAGUE. Then chose where you want to save it and the name to save it under.

• Export your player data.

From within OOTP6, go to league set up, click on Misc Set up and then click on EXPORT PLAYER GENERAL INFO TO CSV. This creates a file the utilty works on and contains all your current players.

• Exit the game

You can actually just minimize it so it is easier to do the last step.

• Run the Originator!

Browse to your league folder, make sure that you see the file name player_general.csv. DO NOT OPEN THIS FILE IN EXCEL or any other spreadsheet program. You can open it in notepad, but be carefull if you make any changes at all. (no need to open it at all)

Double click on OOTP_Originator.exe to start it. Now, you can make any changes to the settings. The numbers in the small 'windows' besides each origin represent how often that origin will be used compared to the others. The percentages in red will change to better show you what chance each origin has to be used.

Once you are satisfied with your settings, click on ORIGINATE! After just a few seconds you will hear a beep sound. (In later versions, you will get a nitification window that the program has completed.) You can now click on the X in the upper right hand corner to close the program. Now the CSV file exported above has been revised.

• Import Your Player Data

Go back to the game. If you did not close the game, you can now just click on IMPORT PLAYER GENERAL INFO FROM CSV. Once that is done, you can browse the rosters and see the changes!

I suspect this will affect all new players coming into the league as well, but someone else would have to confirm that.

If this is still to complex, your going to have to spend some time finding out what directories are, where they are, etc. To write a step-by-step set of instructions would take way too much time
