expanded hints.txt file

DISCLAIMER: Not endorsed by MLB

Here is a larger hints.txt file for OOTP21. It contains 5000+ items. Use it, if you wish, to replace the one in the misc folder.

Thanks for the update - adding it in now.

Didn't realize this was the file that controlled this but glad to know it now.

This might be a dumb question but does this give more news stories or is just for in game PBP?

This file contains those trivia bits that appear on screen.

Do you just copy this file into the misc. this folder? It comes to me as note pad.

pstrickert · 03-01-2018, 08:09 PM

Just save this file and use it to replace the hints.txt file in the misc folder.

Thank you, I thought so but my computer skills are sketchy at best; I will see if I get new messages over my next few sessions.

JaBurns · 03-03-2018, 07:51 AM

Works great, thank you. I now know when the last triple header was played in MLB.

JaBurns · 03-20-2018, 08:43 PM

Are all these included in 19?

pstrickert · 03-20-2018, 08:47 PM

No.

JaBurns · 03-22-2018, 01:37 PM

Same procedure to get these into 19?

pstrickert · 03-22-2018, 02:52 PM

Yes.

Awesome! Thanks a lot, pstrickert... When I learned OOTP allowed mods, the very first thing I thought was, "I wonder if anyone has added any additional quotes, factoids, etc..." I had no idea what the file was called at the time, but I'm glad I found this. ~925 lines in stock hints.txt and ~5000 lines in your hints.txt file. You rock, man!
