NTBB 2015 OBBLM Library

[Guy in Suit]

I was curious if anyone out there had the OBBLM library file updated for all the NTBB roster changes posted for 2015?

Just wanted to see if anyone can save me a couple hours headache carving up code!

PM shteve0, ask him if he knows anything.

Aha, this explains the PM

Unfortunately I don't have anything like that. The NAF install supports the 24 official teams and (as of this version) three unofficial community rosters. Do check it out!

The big danger you need to be aware of when implementing any house rule set, particularly untested/experimental sets that change radically over time, is that obblm doesn't play nice when you make changes to existing rosters in the code; all tweaks introduced over time flow through to existing rosters, which can be a game changer when, say, skill access changes on a player (a common occurrence between ntbb rulesets).

It's also particularly hard to standardise changes across databases, as adding in a new player type to one version might take up a sequenced number that's already occupied in another; so simply copy and pasting code from another install is liable to create a conflict in your install and, for want of a better word, might bork your website until you can trace and resolve the overlap.

If that doesn't put you off, then all the code you need is in the /lib/gamedata files

Good luck!

Haha yeah I figured you had other things on your mind with the new release! Thanks for the detailed response. I am comfortable to make the changes. We are starting a brand new league as the imbalances in the existing teams put off enough new players that it just made sense. (And the players sitting atop the pile with 2.5k CPOMB nightmare teams are bored of it.) so no real risk to data integrity.

I assume if we want to do NAF hosted we can't change our lib files? Or can we?

The new release looks awesome! Very serendipitous timing as I really want to make a big push to expand our league this year. No excuses living in NYC and not having a proper bloodbowl league!

Hi Guy,
ach - I know someone else has already done this, but the name eludes me...

Anyway, no need to fear sweeping changes in mid-season.
No changes are slated for NTBB 2016.

Hi, i was just wondering if you've made any progress with this issue. I find myself in the same situation and I am extremely uncomfortable with code, wondering how it worked out for you.

Thanks

Heh! Funny to find my name here. Was a while since I visited.

I think he figured out. It was some problem but I believe I fixed it and I can make it available for anyone who wants it here. I believe all changes are in... atleast for 2014 and I have no clue what was changed in 2015 as we just went back to the standard rules for a couple of reasons. I love the rules but yeah... Send me a PM or something if anything is wrong.

.rar with instructions and files to restore original settings if wanted.
