Okay, I used DAVWMs origin generator for the initial player draft in my Australian based league, and it worked fine.

But now I'm at the first ammy draft, and I have no idea how to get the incoming rookies to be primarily from Australia.

How do I get the rookies into a CSV file by themself that is compatible with the generator? Do I have to click "yes" when asked if I want to import real life rookies and then use the editor on the file that clicking yes generates? If so, what part of the Lahman database do I point the game to? Is there a different, smaller database I can use instead of Lahman?

Should I just make my own CSV file based on what OOTP creates and then point to that when I use "real rookies" for the draft?

Or do I have to manually edit all 100 rookies?

I tried backing the league up, exporting the player general files to CSV and running Davwms origina generator (even though I suspected this would redo all the initial players names and origins) but I got a run time error.

Any help appreciated.
