Tab-delimited ROM data (Attn: MarquisEXB)

[nightwulf]

1. Allow an import/export funciton. I still use my editor for this, because I can make a tab delimited file & quickly throw it into Excel for editing.

This was suggested in the thread about changes to my RBI editor. I'm not sure if anyone else also uses the files, so I decided to make a public post about it instead of PM'ing MarquisEXB privately.

I've got a script which takes ROM data (stored in the format it will be stored on server-side) and spits out a tab-delimited file. Here's a couple samples:

Let me know if those meet your specifications. For the team name, I'm using "TEAM#" at the moment, but I could grab the first three letters from the attract-mode or newspaper team names or something. I assumed that if "RO" means right-handed overhand pitcher, "RS" would mean right-handed sidearm pitcher, but that can easily be changed if not. Check to make sure that the "CRV-L" and "CRV-R" fields are correct also; we may be using different connotations (referring to the pitcher's or the screen point of view).

I think it should be BA*1000, other than that, looks terrific (no pitcher hitting?)

It's perfect! My editor doesn't care about the headers, or even the team names, and probably a few other things. Honestly I probably won't use mine anymore if this is in your new one.
