So I'm keeping this beta testing pretty low-key. You guys that have posted or followed this thread are welcome to give it a test drive and make notes of what doesn't work. Please keep in mind these gotcha's:
Windows Only (sorry Apple/Mac peeps)
No help or read me files yet
Basically you'll want to do this:
download the setup file from
http://www.joelinstrum.com/ootp-util...tils-setup.exe
Set up OOTP-Utils and make sure you check create shortcuts or you'll never be able to find the right executable
Import your database (on the opening screen)
Then in the menu under utilities, go to the Card Creator.
Once your cards have been created, you'll have the option to view a team
All "cards" are actually html files, located in C:\program files\ootp-utils\baseballcards\cards\name-of-your-directory (you'll have the option to name the directory when you click on 'Create Cards'. I usually name the directory(folder) after the stats year I am creating cards from.
If you choose to leave the year field blank, it simply defaults to the latest year of your export
If you edit the template and want to save the changes as a new template, just fill in the template name (bottom right) with a new name.
Wow, I really will need to make a help file.
There is a default template that should load (crossing fingers). To create your cards, simply click on Create Card. You may want to stick to one team at a time until you get the template the way you want it.
Good Luck.
