I am manually bulk importing randomised players for each season's Draft using the MASTER.csv that comes with the game. But it appears there are huge discrepancies re IDs for FaceGen and I've been advised to use the historical version instead.
Except I'm using Excel and there's no way to transition one to the other. I tried via OpenOffice and it's just a mess, way beyond my skillset and pay grade.
You see any workaround here or do I just stick to the MASTER and manually change FG IDs as needed?
Thanks

Oof. I've been terribly tardy. Apologies to both of you.
The FaceGen stuff is a work in progress. They're discovering, and fixing the IDs. You'll want to check in with LansdowneSt, FancySkunk, and silvam14. Their work can be found in the Mods Section. I think there's another group that's going through, and making sure that the in game IDs match up with the FaceGen IDs that LS, FS, and s14 are so diligently working away at. The FaceGens are really starting to pop. Tedious work to get them all matched up, but I've seen incredible things from this community before, so I don't doubt that at some point it'll all be together. Can't be rushed though.
You can actually manipulate some things without using a DB program. Dr. Doom put together a tool that allows you to break the .odb file down into it's component .csv files, which you can edit, and then convert back to an .odb file. Just tried it tonight, and it was superb. I don't know if it'll help with your FaceGen thing though. That may have to wait for the people working on it to get caught up. Until then, I would continue making changes in game. You could of course use this tool to fix up the IDs in the game, so that it would stick in your game, but without that, the player will import every time with the wrong ID.
I'll get back to you with the link for Dr. Doom's utility. I was cursing a blue streak earlier today, trying to fix a guy who was given no RL numbers. I fixed it by fixing up the Spritze .csv files, and converting back to the .odb file, and it worked a charm. Way above my pay grade too.
