[Tool] Roster Workshop

[Leftos]

hotjabur, there was a legitimate bug (a column had been renamed in the final version of REDitor), but you shouldn't just select all the player data and have it merged. For example, if you copy all the information in the Status category without copying team rosters over, you may end up with players in the wrong teams or wearing wrong jerseys or duplicate players or the game crashing altogether.

This video should help explain how NBA 2K12's version worked, which is similar to this year's one, including what you should and what you shouldn't pick:

Let me know if you encounter any other bugs.

ayarauuf, actually, you selected "Team Rosters: Current", but then didn't select which roster to copy Team Information from. So with the roster you want to merge from selected, scroll down the list, go to Teams, check the box next to Rosters. "Team Rosters: Current" isn't enough, because it just tells the tool that you'll select the "Team -> Rosters" merge option in one roster and that it should only try to merge the current teams. Unless you specifically set "Team -> Rosters" in one roster, the tool won't know which roster to copy from.

Thanks for your response sir. now everything is fine.
Feedback:
Sir i try to merge or copy Portrait_ID and CF_ID from my roster to another Roster but not all the ID's has been copied. i think maybe 50%-60% of the ID'S only has been copied.
any idea Sir?
Thanks

Did you select Current or did you select All under Players? Did you select "Skip Free Agents" or "Skip Hidden"?

[ayarauuf]

i only select CURRENT. Skip Free Agents or Skip Hidden is uncheck.
i also found some duplicate players after copying/merging.

ayarauuf, that's what I get for releasing a completely untested tool. I'll take a look at it tomorrow, try to do some test merges of my own, fix what I can, but I can't promise I can keep working on it for much longer. I want to spend some time studying to prepare for my upcoming job at 2K, so you might need someone else with programming knowledge to take a look at my code and see what they can fix. I hope that all my tools so far being open-source helps leave a good legacy behind.

Did you select anything under Teams? Did you select the "Status" category for Players? Overwriting things in Status can mess up rosters pretty bad with duplicates and so on, as I mentioned above, if you don't do it carefully by combining it with merging the actual team rosters. Take a look at Roster Merge's tutorial video for v0.4. As I said, it's for last year's tool, but it has some good information and instructions.

If I don't find the time to actually fix Roster Workshop, I'm very sorry. I wasn't planning on releasing it at all as I don't like to release stuff that I just developed and didn't have time to test, but I changed my mind later on. I was thinking of only leaving the source code out there, but then I realized that a released version could either just work (yeah, right) or get someone interested in fixing it, developing it further, or creating a similar tool.

[ayarauuf]

I didn't select any category under the TEAMS OPTION.
These are the category that i select under the PLAYERS OPTION.
APPERANCE:
PortrID
CF_ID
Skintone
STATUS:
Number
TeamID1
TeamID2
Skills: ALL
Tendencies: ALL

I understand sir. Don't worry I'm not complaining anything about your work . I only share what i experience using your tool.
Good luck sir and thanks for sharing your work anyway. Take Care. Have a Great Day!
I'm looking forward for my request if ever you will consider on it.

Could you think of any reason that my rosters aren't merging? I open up the .CSV file of the "merge to" roster, and the changes I implemented have not taken effect (just simple sig shot animations and ratings). Have latest versions of RED MC and Roster Workshop.

Additional thanks for the great tool. Much faster and more convenient than TURK scripts (that is, when I can get it to work).

[Leftos]

ayarauuf, you shouldn't be merging TeamID1 and TeamID2 since you're not merging the team rosters but rather just player information. Changing TeamID1 and TeamID2 is not enough to get a player to another team, you need to exchange him in the Teams tab as well. So either don't merge TeamID1 & TeamID2, or merge both Status and Team Rosters. That's why I said you should watch the video tutorial, I explained that last year.

javierrr13, please give me your CSVs, tell me which categories you're picking and the exact options you chose in the Interface, and I'll try to see what's going wrong.

[javierrr13]

Here they are. I'm just trying to merge Bodytype, Skills, Signature Skills, Animations, and Gear from my previous roster onto the new roster version with rookies. Nothing under anything but the Players tab, but I went ahead and exported the whole file CSV. Thanks in advance.
