Ok after hundreds of iterations, I think I got it! I've attached the final file in the event anyone else wanted to sneak a look.
I would also like to go on record as saying that I can't BELIEVE the development team made this change without considering how difficult it would be for someone like to me to convert our old files! There's not even anything in the manual to cover this; it still refers to the old files (like nations.txt)! Anyway, thanks to everyone for all your help. |

What does it change?
Murcer,
Thanks, but what does your file change? I'm looking to get control of the where my coaches and managers as well as players come from and what the historic mix should be over time and societal evolution. 1871 should not be generating Japanese beanch coaches, for example. Thanks! JP

And then this?
The world xml file has some text instructions, as follows:
<!-- OOTP loads this file whenever the user creates a new game. You can edit this file as long as you watch the syntax. Please read the online manual section about customizing the world XML file. NATION tokens: use_hardcoded_ml_player_origins - either 1 (=yes) or 0 (=no). If missing, the value will be set to 0. By default it's 1 for the USA nation record in the XML file. Just disable it (set it to 0) or delete it and OOTP will not use the hard coded player distribution for that nation anymore. this_is_modern_usa - either 1 (=yes) or 0 (=no). If missing, the value will be set to 0. By default it's 1 for the USA nation record in the XML file. There should always be at least one nation with this flag enabled because OOTP needs it as the nation for pre-defined leagues, like NL or AL. When OOTP creates fictional players for modern US major leagues, it will need to find the following nations by name: Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Japan, Panama, Australia, South Korea, Germany, Aruba, England, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Taiwan. So you should not change the names for these nations if you want to simulate realistic major leagues! --> Simply, what the hell does it mean?!?!?!? We should not be cowering in this corner wondering how to do this stuff. And does this affect a World Template or if you use more than one to create a league. Oh why did I buy online without an international attorney or geek!!!!! Ahhhhhh I feel better now. Please answer at your leisure. Thank you. JP

I am the ballpark idiot. The village idiot won't even associate with me. I'm not seeming to find these numbers or actually what to change them into. But on a brighter note, I like your old style uniforms, but I am sure I'll need handholding to actually get them to work. Thanks. JP

Ok first off, I'm NOT a "techy" guy so I'll try explaining this in a non-tech way in order to try to help some folks on here. I am assuming some knowledge of the Names and Ethnicity files so if there are follow-up questions, I'll be happy to help (if I can!).
The world_default file affects:
And I think that's pretty much it! I hope that explains what I was going for and provides some clues for anyone wanting to do it themselves. |

Ranger11JP, if you explain what you're trying to do, I'll see if I can answer. I'm down there with you amongst the the ballpark and village idiots so maybe we can relate to one another!

OOTP has a hard-coded distribution of nationalities for player generation, based on the ethnic breakdowns in modern baseball. So a set percentage of your league will be US, Dominican, Venezuelan, Japanese, etc., based on what those percentages are today. In addition, the language IDs (LIDs) within each country are also hardcoded, so a certain percentage of US players will have Hispanic (LID 1) names and French (LID 8) names and so on. If you don't want this (e.g. if you're starting a fictional league that begins in 1900 and you don't want a lot of Japanese and Dominican players), then set the "use_hardcoded_ml_player_origins" value in the world_default.xml file to zero.
I'm not sure about the "this_is_modern_usa" value. I think that has more bearing on gamers who use pre-defined leagues. If you're going completely fictional, I'm not sure if changing this value to zero would have any effect. |

I have done something, but not sure what or how. My league now seems to not be generating any foreign players. I made the first change in the xml file that the text suggests and went to the nations and changed the langage to US Historical and I entered 3000. But I need to double check all of that. I am trying to generate sub par players who might get into the bigs on occasion for a stint. Then have them become coaches after kicking throught the minors and maybe an independent league, which is a whole other undertaking. Thanks all! JP

Ranger11JP: what is your foreigner percentage value set at? It's under League Setup: Options.

I have set the foreigners to zero. I have been experimenting with all the settings to see what happens. Any feedback is appreciated.

If I may pick your brain, how would I set up a Historic league where the game created players are always scrubs. I want to do this hoping that real major league guys sent to the minors hopefully stand out there and also so that if a roster spot needs filling the sub is pretty much a cup of coffee guy. Thanks for your help. JP

You can keep fictional players (game generated) from reaching the majors though. There's an option in league setup, not sure which tab, to "prevent fictional players from reaching the majors". This may not be exactly what you want but it might help some. Last edited by Bluenoser; 05-17-2012 at 02:20 PM. |

I'm late to the show but am thoroughly disgusted by the fact that world ethnicities are hard coded. Why even bother having a nation editor module within the game if it does not really modify anything?
