Need host for Modified First_Names Mod

Modified Questdog First Name Files by Ashantewarrier
June 2009

Sorry for the delay in getting this out as I have been very busy with newborn twins and my two-year old son. Had to work on this between diapers feedings and burpings. I have a set of modified name files for use if anyone would like for use. Please e-mail me or better yet if Padrefan or anyone else could host that would be even better.

FROM THE README:

"For those of you who want your players' names to be in tune to the era they played, these files will allow you to accomplish that!" - Questdog

The historical name set was originally created by Questdog for use with OOTP 2006. This is for Using MS Access, I have modified the "first_names" files for use with later versions of OOTP in particular versions 8,9, and the latest OOTPX.

Please note that only the historical name set (code 39) has been modified. All the other name sets i.e. Hispanic set, etc. remain unchanged.
1. Before starting please backup all name files in your database folder. The default location of the folder is: OOTP Baseball 10\database\ . After backing up all database files, delete the original "First_Names" file from the database folder.

2. Select the desired first_name file for use.
For example, If I'm starting a historical league in 1901 I would use the "1900_First_Name" file. If I'm starting a league in 1950 I would use the “ 1950_First_Name" file.

3. Rename the selected file to "First_name" and place it in the "OOTP Baseball 10\database\" folder. This file will replace the original "First_Names" file.

**IMPORTANT** Remember to backup the original file before performing this step. Only the "first_names" file will be copied over. The "name" file (used for last names) will remain in the database folder and WILL NOT be removed or modified.

4. Start OOTPX. If you are creating a league from scratch the new "First_Names" files will be used. If this file is to be used with an existing league you must import the name files via the "Re-import Name & Ethnicity Database" function located in the Game Setup section.

5. Navigate to the nation editor section within OOTPX and select “U.S. (Historical)" for language. This is to ensure that your League Nation will use the historical name data set 39.

Once your league advances to a new decade, you can change your name database to match the new decade.

Please note that as you go forward in your league you will need to perform the steps 2-4 each time if you desire to use the name files for the appropriate era in use.

For example, my league has moved from the 1900's to the 1910's I will use the "1910_First_Name" file. You will need to run the "Re-import Name & Ethnicity Database" function each time as well.

**OPTIONAL**A blank nicknames files is included in this set for optional use as many of the early first names could be considered nicknames. Some of the default nicknames just do not fit the early historical names.

You can change the frequency of use of names at your discretion. For example is you open the "First_Names" data file and find the name "John" you may see something like this:

'John 10,39'

The first number is the frequency and the second number is the default code for historical nameset. To change the frequency you will change the first number after the name.

***DISCLAIMERS***
-HISTORICAL NAMES WERE CREATED BY QUESTDOG. I ONLY MODIFIED THE NAME SETS FOR USE WITH OOTPX. SPECIAL THANKS TO QUESTDOG FOR THE ORIGINAL FOR THE NAME FILES.

- PLEASE BACKUP ALL DATABASE FILES BEFORE USE.

-OOTPX IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NAME SET.

-PLEASE REFER TO THE OOTPX MANUAL FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION ON NAME FILES & DATA SETS.




Enjoy!
