Introduction FPGen is a command line utility that can be used to quickly add free agents to a league. It is a great tool if the league needs a little "shot in the arm". To use FPGEN: 1) Copy it to the directory where FPSF Pro resides and change into that directory. 2) Type: FPGEN Where League is the File name of your league file ex. MyLeague.lge and Number To Create represents how many free agents you would like FPGen to add to the existing Free Agent Pool. It's That simple! Now lets get to the good stuff, how FPGen works... II. How Exactly Does FPGen Work? When FPGen Starts it first reads in all the first and last names that FPSF Pro uses when it creates fictional players. These will be used later when it comes time to create our guys. Next it makes two passes through the Player file (the one that ends in .PYR) Pass1 calculates the Mean Rating, And Standard Deviation from this mean for every rating (both actual and potential) for every position. This will be used when creating players. This method was chosen because it ensures that the free agents generated will be of comparable talent to the rest of the league. The second pass determines how many players are currently at each position and uses this as the basis for how many players in each position it will generate. This way we ensure that a proper and balanced distribution of players are generated for each position. (who wants 50 of 100 players to be Punters!!) We wouldn't want any of this stuff to be totally random, it must be based on the league sample or the whole league could be thrown out of balance. Lastly the players are generated. As they are generated FPGen will assign them a random rating for each attribute based on the ranges calculated in pass 1. It will also assign them names in the same manner that FPSF Pro uses, Also no duplicate names will be generated, FPGen makes sure each name is unique before commiting it to disk. Ages range from 3-11 yrs in the league. Thats It. III. What do I get If I Register. - The registered version of FPGen uses a special text file that YOU create that will allow you to tweak the ratings the FPGen will generate for each position and rating at that position!!! - You'll feel real good about yourself! IV. Notes IMPORTANT !!!!!! - The MAXIMUM number of Free Agents That FPGen will allow your league to have is 512! This is due to the fact that when you start getting over that number FBPro will start bombing out with memory errors. - ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR LEAGUE FILES !!!!!!! If your league file is named MyLeague then copy MyLeague.* to a safe place. You should always give yourself a chance to recover if you didn't like FPGen's results!!!!! - FPGEN will NOT work reliably with the "default" leagues that ship with FPS:Pro. In order to use my utilities please create new leagues from within the game. This is due to the fact that the leagues that ship with the game are structured somewhat differently. V.
