Made some changes to the files in the RDS as nation download. Changes are as follows:

http://www.allsimbaseball.com/index....fileinfo&id=20

1. created weather files for each group.

2. created an "ALL" group for the cities, weather and nations text files that include all the associated files.

The first was done because it was omitted in the first release and needs to be there. The second was completed because I simply wanted more options (example I wanted to have my state league but still get other states as well as regions.)

With the nations.txt file having all "nations" I had my state league with only wisconsin in the nations file and the Midwest region. I simply deleted the states I did not want and the regions, divisions that I did not want. This allowed me to have all my players from Wisconsin and the Midwest (as foreigners). I set it to 80/20 in game and it works great..... This is just an example of what can be done with this file....

Future updates of the file will be to add realist japanese percentages to the states, regions, and divisions. Census information is not available by breakdown other than Asian and while the total is 4.3% Asian in the country it is estimated that only about .8-1.0% are actually Japanese with some regions being higher than others..... I also would need to create a new first name file for the American-Japanese, giving them American first names.

Another future update may be to have different ethnic groups for some of the states (with 36 still available I have some room to work with it). An example of this would be to have a list with more German names for states like Wisconsin (43% German heritage) and to break down other states to into more ethnic names...... Again I will need to find the data to make this happen. This is actually a MAJOR CHANGE to my files but would be a nice addition.

I sure hope some one plays this and lets me know what they think. Also if anyone has any ideas that they would like implemented into future versions, please let me know and perhaps they will be added.

Regards,

Sandman
