Customization
This page discusses the customization of your OBBLM installation.
The league IDs used in this settings file can be found at the bottom of the page in Admin → Import team.
In the case of the already implemented ranking systems not fitting the needs of your league, you may define house ranking systems.
The fields which you may sort teams against are:
mvp
cp
td
intcpt
bh
si
ki
cas (sum of PLAYER cas)
tdcas ("td" + "cas")
tcasf (total TEAM cas by this team)
tcasa (total TEAM cas against this team)
tcdiff (equals to the arithmetic value of "tcasf" - "tcasa")
gf (total score made by this team)
ga (total score made against this team)
sdiff (equals to the arithmetic value of "gf" - "ga")
played
won
lost
draw
win_pct
elo
smp (sportsmanship points)
pts (points)
When making a house ranking rule you must define two fields in the settings.php file.
These take the following form (in this case, we define house ranking system number 5):
$hrs[5]['rule'] = array('+field1', '-field2', '+field3');
$hrs[5]['points'] = 'X*[field4] + Y*[field5] + [field6]'
These two lines should be interpreted like so:
This field must take the form of:
array('+field1', '-field2', '+field3')
This should be interpreted as:
- Sort first by least of field1
- Sort secondly by most of field2
- Sort at last by least of field3
Note: You may define as many entries in the rule you want. It's not limited to 3, like in this example.
This field must take the form of:
'X*[field4] + Y*[field5] + [field6]'Where X and Y may by either integers, floating point numbers or another field itself — e.g. [field7]
A points definition does not have to be a linear combination of fields, e.g.
'[field4]/([field5]*[field6])'is 100% valid.
However, combining in-game specific results to form points is not possible. For example, getting points for a difference of 3 in cas or TD in a game is not possible.
PLEASE NOTE: If you do not need the points field, because it is not included in the rule field of your ranking system, then simply leave the "points" definition be equal to "" (i.e. two quotes only).
E.g. (for house ranking system 3):
$hrs[3]['rule'] = array('-sdiff', '-smp');
$hrs[3]['points'] = '';
... sorts teams against: largest score difference, then most sportsmanship points. But does not use the pts field in the rule, and thus we don't need to define points (i.e. we leave it empty).
IMPORTANT!!!
Once you have changed/added/removed ranking system definitions you must notify OBBLM.
This is done via the admin menu Admin → OBBLM core panel
Here you must:
- ALWAYS select the Re-install DB back-end procedures and functions under DB maintenance.
- IF changes have been made to a points definition which is used in a tournament, you must also run syncAll() under DB synchronisation procedures.
- IF changing/deleting rule numbers you must always make sure tournaments are up-to-date with the correct ranking system. This may be done via. the admin menu Admin → Management: Tournaments.
Every box MUST have a UNIQUE 'box_ID' number.
The box IDs are used to determine the order in which the boxes are shown on the front page.
The box with 'box_ID' = 1 is shown at the top of the page, the box with 'box_ID' = 2 is displayed underneath it and so forth.
Every box displays information/stats for either a league, division or tournament. The type field should equal one of these.
The specific league/division/tournament for the box is selected by setting the id value equal to the OBBLM league/division/tournament ID.
A list of the IDs for your league(s)/division(s)/tournament(s) can be found at the bottom of the page in Admin → Import team.
E.g.:
$settings['fp_standings'] = array(
array(
'type' => 'league', # This sets the node to be a LEAGUE.
'id' => 2, # LEAGUE with ID = 2
'box_ID' => 2, # Display as 2nd box when ordering the boxes
'infocus' => false, # If true a random team from the standings will be selected and its top players displayed.
'HRS' => 1, # Ranking rule for standings
'title' => 'Standings', # Box title
'length' => 6, # Number of entries in box
'fields' => array('Name' => 'name', 'PTS' => 'pts', 'TV' => 'tv', 'CAS' => 'cas', 'W' => 'won', 'L' => 'lost', 'D' => 'draw', 'GF' => 'gf', 'GA' => 'ga',),
),
);
HRS: The house ranking system NUMBER to sort the table against.
Note, this is ignored for "type = tournament", since tours have an assigned HRS.
Also note that using HRSs with fields such as points (pts) for leagues/divisions standings makes no sense as they are tournament specific fields (i.e. it makes no sense to sum the points for teams across different tours to get the teams' "league/division points", as the points definitions for tours may vary).
E.g.:
$settings['fp_leaders'] = array(
array(
'type' => 'tournament', # This sets the node to be a TOURNAMENT
'id' => 1, # TOURNAMENT with ID = 1
'box_ID' => 3, # Display as 3rd box when ordering the boxes
'title' => 'Most casualties', # Box title
'field' => 'cas', # Casualties
'length' => 5, # Number of entries in box
'show_team' => true, # Show player's team name?
),
);
The event tables display player events. The events available are
dead - recent dead players sold - recent sold players hired - recent hired players skills - recent player skill picks
Notice: Characteristic increases, or "stat increases", are not regarded as skills in OBBLM and are handled differently. This means it's not possible to get these displayed.
The local settings should otherwise be self-documented enough to understand the rest.
explainations will come soon.

Before you proceed adding your own league's additions to OBBLM rulebook races, teams, players etc., you should note that removing these again might seriously damage the stats of those teams who used your customized/new races, teams players etc.
To change the rulebook data simply:
- Edit the lib/game_data_lrb6.php file to fit your needs.
- Run the Synchronise the PHP-stored BB game data from the DB maitenance group of OBBLM database operations, which are available in the admin menu OBBLM core panel.
To enable these races you do not need to manually edit the game data as stated above — files are also provided with these races.
Simply open the header.php file and change the line
require_once('lib/game_data_lrb6.php');
to (for Brettonians)
require_once('lib/game_data_brett.php');
or (for Daemons of Khorne — requires OBBLM version 0.95)
require_once('lib/game_data_cyanide.php');
..and then run through the second point from the above guide.
If you wish both races activated then use both of the above lines.
