Having origins include towns and states/provinces

canadiancreed · 05-31-2005, 02:48 PM

hey all

as the title says i'm looking to see if OOTP can call from a list of towns and cities to have as origins for newly created players. Anyone ever tried this or had any luck at it?

Use the Origin Generator utility. There is an origins only version kicking around out there, as well as the full version. It does a good job and is fairly painless.

The Originator itself should be in the main league directory. The name and origin files should be in a sub-folder called OriginData. Make sure you export the players_general.csv from the Misc. Setup tab in OotP as well.

ok iev' got the csv file but in the league root or in origin data it's still comign up with file not found.

The easy work around is to sort the players_general.csv by origin, open Blueturf's origin maker and copy and paste (special, paste valeus) into your csv and save.

But someone else can probably tell you how to fix your issue.

Just making sure I'm on the same page because I don't want to make suggestions to do things you've already done.

You have a league folder: My League.lg

Inside of it there is the Originator.exe file.

The players_general.csv file is in the league's main folder as well.

There is also a sub-folder named OriginData with various *_fnames.dat, *_lnames.dat and *_origin.dat files.

EDIT: Just read the above post. He's put it much better than I did.

Do all the files listed in the defdata.dat file exist in the OriginData directory?
