[Tool] Draft Class generator script that works with Reditor

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

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

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.

Definitly interested ! Great idea that would make association a lot more interesting !

Definitely interested, I find myself editing the generated draft class wayyy too often.

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.

This would be the greatest tool of all time as far as im concerned. Let me know if you need anything.

Oh Man PLEASE do this it would be super awesome. And then tell me how to make it work lol.

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

please do this

definitely this could bring more excitement for the association!please proceed!

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.
