# OOTP Utilities by James Mowery

## About This Project

This GitHub repository contains OOTP Utilities, which is a collection of code snippets (or otherwise) designed to help players of the game Out of the Park (OOTP) baseball.

## Google Sheets Utilities

Included are several Google Sheets custom functions that strips and correctly formats data from the Salaries page extracted from Out of the Park Baseball.

I've created a visual quickstart guide, and it's **highly recommended** for getting to grips with how to use the JavaScript code within Google Sheets. View it here: [OOTP Utilities Quickstart Guide](http://imgur.com/a/IYIPC)

**Instructions:**

Navigate to Team > Front Office > Salaries.

[![OOTP Utilities](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JamesMowery/OOTP-Utilities/master/docs/img/13.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JamesMowery/OOTP-Utilities/master/docs/img/13.png)

Use the "Open In External Browser" option.


Copy from the top left headers (Name/Years) to the end of the "TOTAL" section.

Paste this information into a new Google Sheet.

Within this Google Sheet, navigate to Tools > Script Editor

Copy and paste the code from within ootp-utilities.js.

Refresh (or re-open) your Google Sheet.
## About This Project

You will now see a new menu called "OOTP".
**OOTP Utilities** is a collection of JavaScript code snippets that integrate with **Google Sheets**, and helps players of **Out of the Park Baseball 16**.

### Salary Cleaner
It enables users to easily:

Salary Cleaner strips out extra data and properly formats the resulting text into data that can be easily manipulated and utilized within a spreadsheet.
* View salary information for the future
* Calculate current and future estimated budgets
* Add visual definition to your salary spreadsheet (color)
* Make the data from the "Salaries" screen in OOTP usable with formulas
* Enable you to play out what-if scenarios for current and
future contract discussions

* Removed parenthetical information
* Removes punctuation
* Expands numeric shorthands (m and k) to proper amounts
* Appropriately formats the results for display and modification
* Enables the usage of formulas on the results
## Getting Started

### Salary Totals
View the [Visual Installation Guide](https://github.com/JamesMowery/OOTP-Utilities/wiki/OOTP-Utilities-Visual-Install-Guide) to get started. It contains all the information to get started with OOTP Utilities.

Salary Totals searches the spreadsheet for the word "TOTAL", and then populates that row with a SUM formula that generates dynamic totals (as opposed to the static totals that OOTP generates).
Then view the [Visual Usage Guide](https://github.com/JamesMowery/OOTP-Utilities/wiki/OOTP-Utilities-Visual-Usage-Guide) to see how all the functions work with your Salary data.
