Make adding countries easier

nlint · 11-18-2013, 08:14 PM

My biggest issue with OOTP 14 has been how difficult it is to add countries to the Default Player Origin and Amateur Draft Pool Origin. I would really like to make expansive world leagues with players from all over, but adding all the countries is such a tedious process. A select all button would be ideal. A select all button per continent would be even better.

Both excellent ideas. I've also suggested allowing us to save the lists once we generate it, so we could import a league origin setup that we already created, which would make adding an origin setup to multiple leagues go far quicker.

Would like to be able to select or deselect the countries then refresh, instead of having it refresh then i have to start all over again from the top of the list. I have 75 additional counties in my EBL leagues.

Oh man that bugs me to no end. Definitely would love to see this improved (unrelated: would love to see this same feature added when I'm shortlisting players)

Bring back the nations.txt and cities.txt!

I have been clamoring for a well functioning "out of the box" world setup for some time.

Making a standalone editor would be better imho.

Marcus can keep the html, or whatever it is, code he needs for going forward. But give modders/users access too a sandbox too manipulate that thing

It would be relatively easy I think to write a program using Windows forms that generates XML code. Whether Markus has the time to do it is another matter.

If I ever get round to learning how to write XML manipulating programs (from what I've read it doesn't look too hard) then I might even do it myself, although given my capacity for procrastination I wouldn't hold my breath on that.

As a work-around, there's an excellent tutorial and spreadsheet created by Dreifort that can be found here:
