OOTP Storyline Generator: Looking for stories - Submit topic sentences

[SWAVcast]

I've fed & formatted ChatGPT to generate storylines for the game (as stored in storylines.xml) and it only requires a single idea in order to determine the outcomes, factors, and to write a full story.

I've been thinking up ideas, but I need a bunch more in order to properly test everything, and to speed up the process this is where you can help.

If you're interested, please submit a story tagline idea. They can be single stories or have multiple branching options.

Examples I have used include:

• A player whose 1 of 1 autographed baseball rookie card was just found in a pack.
  
  A story about a rookie pitcher who only has three fingers on his throwing hand.
  
  A story about a player who hits a home run in batting practice that travels over 600 feet.
  
  A story about a player who invested all of his money and lost it into a meme coin. This story cannot happen before the year 2010.
  
  A story about teammates, one player cheating with another player's wife. One scenario should playout in the subsequent story that the allegations turned out to not be true. Please affect any modifiers you think are best. The second story option will be that the story was in fact true and one player has asked to be traded.

I've pushed for this internally. Getting a list of the tokens and more info on how to make them out to the community. Let's see if we can get you additional info for feeding ChatGPT. I did one complex storyline myself but got pulled into other projects.

A manager denies accusations that he has been consorting with gamblers.

A player starts a charity for disabled veterans.

A player with moderate power lobbies ownership to shorten the distance to the outifield walls.

I had a PM conversation with Matt awhile back and he mentioned it was pretty rigid and that they could only use what was already in use.

Part of my calibration effort was to upload the existing storylines.xml and to train chatGPT to only use fields that were in the file.

Thank you for doing this. I have been working on storylines with varying degrees of success.

I would like to share a couple of ideas and then I have some questions. Don't know if you have the answers.

I am very interested in using storylines to enliven contract situations.

I forgot the various personality types. I know there are nine of them.

Storylines for players that are in the last year of their contract. A news story leaks out that they are unhappy they haven't received an extension yet. Then the storyline checks in a month or two months later. If they have a new contract their morale goes up (maybe a talent boost or individual attribute boost as well) and if they don't have a new contract then the opposite thing happens morale goes down and/or team chemistry and individual talent or attribute.

A storyline involving selfish personality types after a long term deal is signed. A news leak comes out that the player doesn't look like they are quite in the same shape accompanied by morale/talent/individual attribute drop.

This one is done during the offseason or at the beginning of free agency. There is a check on home runs or wins or something. A player who has really good stats gets a huge greed boost. An opposite version can be an older player who is still good, but wants to just win one more time so his greed goes down and his play for winner goes up.

My questions are do you know what it means when morale is modified to go up or down -1,2,3 etc same thing with talent level. And what are the biggest numbers we can use to modify? Can we do morale +50 or increase a players contact by +50?

One of my goals is to have a new storyline be activated every day. I increase the frequency to the ones I like to 10000 and tell the xml that it can be recurring with no interval to wait. I think this works if storylines mainly involve contract disputes and things that happen during hot streaks and cold streaks and removing the other storylines like Indian guru etc.

Also, when you modify a storyline xml file do you have to start a new game or can you just close the program and restart and the save file will recognize the modified xml. I feel like a new game has to be started every time the storyline file is changed for hte game to recognize the changes.

How about an Angelo's/Nutting type storyline where the fans revolt, stop attending games, and demand the owner sells.

A minor league player who is the son and namesake of a baseball legend has to deal with living/playing in the shadow of his father. Junior has to deal with constant comparisons (usually unfavorable) to his father, unrealistic expectations for his development as a player, and extraordinary media coverage of every aspect of his life.
