I really want to add this option to AUHISTORY2.
This is one of those things you run every so often, it will add random events to the player's history files. Stuff that happens in the off season, trade rumors, drug use rumors, DUI arrests, divorces, marriages, kids born, etc.
The way it will work is there will be a file that contains all of the random stuff, one that you can easily modify.
Each line in the file contains the following:
1,0,"Arrested for DUI."
1,0,"Arrested for DUI.", meaning the changes of it happening. If there are 1000 items in the list, this one will have a 1-1000 chance of happening.
1,2,"Arrested for DUI.", the month that this event is going to happen. So, this way you can have things happen 'during the off season' or, in a certain month.
(Slipped and fell on ice - sprained ankle. Make this in January, and it will not be out of context with the league)
(Cut hand wrapping Christmas presents - Make this in December.)
If you leave the month as 0, then it will randomly pick a month, but only a month and day lower than the league month and day.
1,0,"Arrested for DUI." This history item.
The idea is to have a bunch (at least a 1000, I hope), of those off the wall type things to spice up the history. Nothing like murder, rape or stuff like that, but minor arrests, other stuff, even stuff like 'buying large house', made cover of Sports Illustrated, use some creativity.
Post them here and I will gather them up. Don't just post one, post at least 5, so we can get a collection going.
The way the program would work, is you set the freq. factor, anotherwords, on a 1-100 scale, you set it at 2 percent. So, only 2 percent of all the players in the league will be effected. The program will also allow you to choose between infecting minor leagues players only, MLB league players only or all players.
You will also have the ability to 'approve all new historys' or 'just do it'. This will allow you to control what events were assigned.
Of course, you can always modify the history later.
One other option is just a 'random player grab'. This will just grab a random player and let you add a quick line of history that you can type in.
