[Tool] Draft Class generator script that works with Reditor

Postby Theoretic on Fri Oct 19, 2012 10:16 pm

I'm wondering if there's any interest in a draft class generator. I'm a big Association fan, but I've always found the game-generated classes lacking in several areas. A few of them are:

1) no real sense of distinction between play styles

2) secondary positions that don't make sense given the player's height/weight/ratings. e.g. a 6'9, 278 PF whose secondary position is SF, but has 53 speed and quickness :facepalm2:

3) the lack of hidden gems

4) too many high-rated, high-potential rookies, which invariably leads to having tons of 90+ rated players

5) black players with crew cuts :shake:

6) generic shoes :(

7) more...



Anyway, I started writing the script months ago for 2K12 in the only programming language I (barely) know, which is Perl. I don't know anything about writing software code, so I had to make the script as sort of a Reditor add-on. Basically, since I have Perl installed on my computer, I just open an existing draft class or Association file in Reditor, then copy and paste it into notepad. Then I'd run the script which would go through the draft class or Association file and redo the rookies based on the given play style (e.g. pass first PG, athletic SF, 3-point specialist SF, etc.) and output a file which I then copy and pasted back into Reditor. The process only takes a few seconds.

If there's any interest, I'd be more than happy to make the 2k13 version available to everyone.

More than interested to have something like this done, and I could help do the coding if you give me the algorithm as detailed as you can explain it.

Sounds good to me! Be cool if we can edit the parameters of which the script runs, too.

If you write this script, and I REALLY hope you do, feel free to use these parameters. If you want to use it and have questions, please ask.

What makes this mod “sim”? Here are a few of the features that set this project apart from all others:

- Every art file (jerseys, arenas, cyberfaces, accessories, courts, dornas (advertisement at half court), etc is realistic and none will crash game play
- There is no missing art file in the entire project

Every player in every roster has:
- Accurate statistical ratings and tendencies to work with 2k's simulation engine while still providing realistic game play
- Realistic ratings and tendencies that affect game play but not the simulation engine ie dribbling, athletic ratings, post tendencies, etc.
- Realistic physical attributes that decrease after major injuries or as the player gets older
- Accurate play types
- Accurate contracts

- Accurately updated Coaching profiles and playbooks

- Draft classes that have realistic player information for every player

- A few slider sets designed to be a base for realistic game play
