....to go this year without bringing up two small items I've been asking for the last two versions.

1) ability to print out the news stories from date A to date B
2) ability to print out the game announcers narrative

There, it's done. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Not passing judgement on the requests but just curious, what's your project or intended use if you could do this? Thinking of actually printing to paper or a virtual printer (PDF?)

Mostly PDF. I document (best I can) complete seasons by month and would love to add newspaper stories and specific game narratives to the package.

Those would be nice features.

Well I believe News stories are now exportable to sql and possibly straight to CSV files. This is a new addition is OOTP 14 which would allow you to query on exact dates within Excel and print to PDF.

As far as I can see, news stories are not in the list of CSV, SQL, nor MSaccess, unless it's under a name that does not include the word "news". If the stories could be added to the CSV export, that might work, but I'm not sure the player/team links are still intact once the season is over.

I'm on the beta team. Just verified. It is in the CSV for OOTP 14.

BigCity · 03-14-2013, 04:44 PM

Ah, will be in 14 - cool!

Sounds like a cool feature

Looking forward to another season of OOTP after I finish my FM seasons out.
