Leftos, bro it works like a charm... A million Thanks! (Y) Also, just for the tool improvement... During the Resolve Conflict process.. can you set the validation of the tool to bypass the TeamID =-1 since we all know that -1 is not applicable or should i say hidden and also, i notice even when the check box is only for the 30 current teams, it validates the entire teams, you should set also the parameters of that check box to the current TeamID which is 0-31. In my opinion, doing that will speed up the validation process. Hope it helps! (Y)

First things first. The 30 teams checkbox applies to the destination roster. Which means it doesn't check or update players that aren't in the 30 current teams in the destination roster. It doesn't care what team the player is in in the source roster. So no, it doesn't validate all teams. Did you get a message about a player that had a TeamID (in the destination roster) other than 0-29? (Don't confuse REditor's Team ID with the game's ID. The game's ID depends on what REditor has in the Teams tab as GID, or floor ID, or arena ID, or dornas ID, etc. We're talking about the REditor Team ID, which is what ID the team has in the Teams tab).

As for bypassing -1 as a TeamID, I wouldn't recommend that. That means that if a Player is a Free Agent in one roster but signed to a team in another, you're saying he shouldn't be in the resolve conflict window?

E.g. Say there's 2 Thomas Robinsons in both rosters. Roster A has one of them with the Bucks, the other one a free agent. Roster B has one of them with the Knicks, other one with the Pistons. If I never show you the free agent Thomas Robinson, you'd have to copy the Bucks' Thomas Robinson information over both players.

Granted, there are things I could do to improve this. Check for PlType = 4, check for IsFA = 1. I think these two should lessen the amount of -1 players in the conflict window.

I could also add a "don't update player" in the conflict resolution window, when you don't know which original player is the right one, and don't want to mess up his ratings.

Re: [Tool] Roster Merge v0.2

Postby Leftos on Sun Jul 01, 2012 10:10 pm

v0.2 has been released!

A REALLY BIG & NEW experimental feature has been added, (roughly) named "Teams". What it does is copy team information (right now just the roster and situationals) from one roster to another. It will find the corresponding players in the destination roster and change the Roster and Situationals IDs accordingly. Any players missing in the destination roster will be copied over to free spots in it, if there are any.

For example, say you want to have Albys 5.1 roster but with the added rookies and trades from the UBR roster:
1a. Open the roster you want to copy from in REditor. Press Ctrl-A in the Players tab to select everything. Press Ctrl-C to copy. Open Notepad or another text-editor, press Ctrl-V to paste. Save.
1b. Switch to the Teams tab. Press Ctrl-A to select everything. Press Ctrl-C to copy. Open Notepad or another text-editor, press Ctrl-V to paste. Save in the same folder as the file in 1a, same name with the addition of "_teams". For example, if the file you saved in 1a was "UBRv20.txt", this file needs to be "UBRv20_teams.txt".
2a. Open the roster you want to copy to in REditor. Press Ctrl-A in the Players tab to select everything. Press Ctrl-C to copy. Open Notepad or another text-editor, press Ctrl-V to paste. Save.
2b. Switch to the Teams tab. Press Ctrl-A to select everything. Press Ctrl-C to copy. Open Notepad or another text-editor, press Ctrl-V to paste. Save in the same folder as the file in 1a, same name with the addition of "_teams". For example, if the file you saved in 1a was "Albys51.txt", this file needs to be "Albys51_teams.txt".
3. Run the tool, selecting the txt file you saved in step 1 in From, and the txt file you saved in step 2 in To.
4a. Select the categories you want to copy over.
4b. Check the Teams option.
4c. (Optional) Select the No FA option to avoid being pestered about updating Free Agents.
5. Press Do It.
6. The tool will inform you of any conflicts you may need to resolve.
7. When the tool says "Done", open the files you saved in Steps 2a & 2b in Notepad (or your favorite text-editor). They should now have the changes the tool did to them.
8. Go to the file from 2a, press Ctrl-A to select everything, press Ctrl-C to copy.
9. Open the roster you opened in Step 2 in REditor again. Select the topmost-leftmost cell in the Players tab. That is the last-name of the player with ID 0.
10. Press Ctrl-V to paste, wait a few seconds. I don't know if there's an indication when the paste is done, but REditor should be unresponsive until it finishes.
11. Go to the file from 2b, press Ctrl-A to select everything, press Ctrl-C to copy.
12. Go to REditor. Switch to the Teams tab. Select the topmost-leftmost cell. That is the name of the team with ID 0.
13. Press Ctrl-V to paste, wait a few seconds. I don't know if there's an indication when the paste is done, but REditor should be unresponsive until it finishes.
14. Save the roster, load it in-game, and enjoy.

If you do this, I recommend choosing Bio (for Years Pro), Appearance (for CF, Portrait IDs, if the source roster replaced them), and Contract (so that you get any changed contracts).

There have been other fixes as well, but this is the big change. Try it out!


v0.2.1 released!

When using the Teams mode, it will also replace TeamIDs in any "Resolve Conflict" window with the proper team names.

This one i'm just guessing for those with same name exist in the Resolve Conflict window... for example Mike Bibby in Resolve conflict it's pop-up two Mike Bibby one is the knicks and the other one is on the Kings (Retro Team).

Leftos wrote:Granted, there are things I could do to improve this. Check for PlType = 4, check for IsFA = 1. I think these two should lessen the amount of -1 players in the conflict window.


I'm sorry for the -1 thingy, this is what i want to implied... :mrgreen: Script like IF PlType = 0 and TeamID = -1 Skip... (Y)

Yes, this one can be helpful... My other suggestion on the Conflict resolution window, if you can display the team name (just the abbreviation will do), instead of TeamID only...(i.e. TeamID: 21 should be display DET) (Y)

Thanks bro hope it helps! (Y) BTW, gonna try your v0.2 update if i do find time... (Y)

v0.2 solved most of your problems, and added a really cool new feature.

I will make it so the current 30 teams option doesn't show any historic players.

EDIT: Just put up v0.2.2, which doesn't care about non PlType=4 players, and only shows players in current teams or free agency in the resolve conflict list if the appropriate option is selected.

Re: [Tool] Roster Merge v0.2.1 (NEW! Copy Roster & Missing P

Postby Leftos on Mon Jul 02, 2012 5:14 am

I feel I need to make this clear, because just like HAWK23 predicted, my PM Inbox is filling up with requests.

I will not send any combined roster to ANYONE. I spent 2 days making the tool and video tutorials so that everyone can combine any 2 rosters, and I'm getting a pile of requests for an actual roster. Do not send me PMs asking me to send you a roster. Unless Albys and HAWK23 give permission, I won't be releasing or passing around via PM (just the same) a roster that combines their work. End of story.

If you don't have a good enough license of REditor, you have the following 3 choices:
- Buy the actual license that will allow you to edit the Teams tab.
- Do the first tutorial that only requires the Players tab.
- Wait for Albys to update his roster.
Do not pester me about this.

Just a question. When we have a conflict and one of the two players is in current team and one is in historic team.. Which one are we supposed to click so he doesn't be a 'conflict' anymore?

The current one. You don't want to copy a historic players ratings and stats or contract over to a current one, would you?

What you're saying by selecting the current player is that I want current LeBron to have his information copied from one roster over to current LeBron in the other roster. You don't get a historic player in the mix.

0.2.2 should not show you historic players in conflict resolution if you've checked the "Only current teams" option.

I've just uploaded 0.2.3 which now has error reports. When the tool crashes, it will inform you of where you can find a log file. Open it, copy-paste its contents here in a reply, but make sure they're inside [ code ] tags (without the spaces) so that the thread isn't flooded.

Like so:

Code: Select all
I'm now using code tags!


(Click on quote if you need to see how I've written this.)

A quick guess on why it crashes when you enable teams (I haven't had the time to make the tool crash-proof AT ALL so it crashes on any chance it gets, I should improve this later in July), could be because you haven't saved the teams tab in the same folder with a _teams added to the name.

e.g.
Albys51.txt
Albys51_teams.txt

Both should be in the same folder.

In any case, download the new version, give me an error report to look at if this wasn't your problem.

Re: [Tool] Roster Merge v0.2.1 (NEW! Copy Roster & Missing P

Postby free24ride1 on Mon Jul 02, 2012 9:03 pm

Leftos i also got another question.. when i combined the two roster of Albys and Ultimate..the accessories are correct, but some of the team color accessories of players arent correct at all.

example: Lebron James sleeve color is red
Dwayne Wade's sleeve color isnt correct too.. as it is red

im checking if there are any other players whose team color accessory isnt correct..

but otherwise it worked great.. i got the 2012 rookies in my team etc. its just that the team color accessories

also I dont know if its related to the roster merger but when I use the ultimate base roster, i go to view player card and career stats are empty (award history too)
im thinking this glitch is from the roster... also the same thing with the ultimate base roster + albys roster combined.

First of all, Team colors aren't carried over even with the Teams option, not right now at least. I should add more options on what gets combined with the Teams option soon. For now, you can copy-paste the team colors from the appropriate columns in the Teams tab of each roster. These are not per-player, these are per-team.

The fact that the Ultimate Base Roster lacks any Career Stats has been discussed and is answered in the roster's FAQ. Since rosters have limited size to work with, you can't have 2600 players spanning 270 teams without losing the career stats. It's just not possible. You'll have to combine them the other way to get all current teams + rookies + career stats (UBR as From, Albys as To).

I explain exactly what to do in the 0.2.1 tutorial. If you follow those steps exactly, you end up with Albys 5.1 roster with all the players, rookies and trades that HAWK has done + the career stats of Albys' roster.

Yes, the Teams option edits the Teams tab which can only be done with the proper license.

I answered in the PM you sent me as well, but I'm also posting my answer here too:

You're not supposed to highlight the whole receiving column or row or selection in general, you're supposed to only highlight the first cell of where you want to start pasting, and the rest is done automatically.

For example, if you highlight the whole 2nd row and click copy, when you switch to the roster where you want to paste, you don't highlight the whole 2nd row, but rather the 1st cell of the 2nd row, and then paste. It should paste all entries.

Same for columns, same for multi-column multi-row selections.

This means there's not enough free spots in the roster you've picked as the destination one, the "To" one. Roster Merge determines free spots as the spots that have *********** as a Last Name. If anyone knows what other Players the tool could replace safely (like a specific PlType), tell me and I'll improve that part of the tool.

Note that with REditor's v3.7 release, and its 2 new fields in the Players Tab, Roster Merge v0.2.3 has become incompatible with it and any later versions. I'll be updating Roster Merge soon. Until then, you can continue using v3.6.1 with Roster Merge, and v3.7 for everything else.

I guess, those with IsFA set to 0 and TeamIDs set to -1 are good to go.
