Historical DB Formatting

Historical DB Formatting

Postby thakfu » Thu May 25, 2023 12:25 am

I've been looking to extend the historical DB for my league and I had a question....

I've been referencing Brooks' guide: viewtopic.php?f=254&t=27590

However, what I did notice is running QBs are actually flagged in the json file with "Flg":"1".
{"Id":8383,"RefId":"8383","Ovr":108,"Sea":1988,"Rook":1983,"First":"John","Last":"Elway","Team":"13","Coll":"Stanford","DOB":"6/28/1960","Hgt":75,"Wgt":215,"Pos":"QB","Flg":"1"}

This doesn't appear on the above guide. Is there any other data that can be added to the historical JSON? Like perhaps player traits or attributes? Individual ratings? Uniform numbers?

Thanks!

For historical years you can try Flg: "1" or you can try "Flg": "RunningQB" which will trigger the game to create more of a running Qb.

Otherwise the historical file is much more limited in traits, ratings, etc. and uses the OVR number to generate a player so that it wasn't required to set ratings and personalities for tens of thousands of players over 60+ years.

You can create a roster file to use with the game for a specific season and those will have the full set of ratings and personality numbers.
