D5 Open Source Code

D5 Open Source Code

Download Here

Requirements:

Windows
NBA Live 06
Python 3 (probably already installed on your machine)

Python Modules to Install:

dbf
pip install dbf
pyperclip
pip install pyperclip

Installation Instructions:

Create a "D5" folder in your NBA LIVE 06 folder (C:\Users\your_windows_username\Documents\NBA LIVE 06\D5). Unzip and paste the files into that directory.

Open config.py in Notepad -> make sure your_windows_username is changed to, you guessed it, your Windows username, so that the directory path is correct for your operating system.

Running the Code:

How you run Python code on your machine differs depending how it's set up.

On my machine I can just double-click a Python file and it runs.

Alternatively you may need to use the Command Prompt and do it manually: Hit the Windows Button + R -> type "cmd" to open the Command Prompt -> copy the path to your D5 folder (C:\Users\your_windows_username\Documents\NBA LIVE 06\D5) -> type "cd C:\Users\your_windows_username\Documents\NBA LIVE 06\D5" -> type "Python3 filename.py" to run any of the files outlined below, using the correct filename of course.

Boxscores.py

1. Open NBA Live 06 -> start a new Season -> save the file: "Season1".
2. In the new season sim one day of results -> save a new save file: "Season2".

The way the Boxcsores code works is it subtracts the statistics in the second-most-recent save file ("Season1") from the most-recent save file ("Season2"), so for every in-game day you sim you need to save a new file, this is because if you sim two days in-game before saving a new file any of the teams who played on both days will have twice the stats.

If the code is successful you'll get a message saying "bbcode copied and ready to paste", so just find your forum thread on ProBoards or whatever and Ctrl-V and paste it in.

Standings.py

Run "standings.py" and if the code is successful you'll get a message saying "bbcode copied and ready to paste", so just find your forum thread on ProBoards or whatever and Ctrl-V and paste it in.

Leaders.py

Run "leaders.py" and if the code is successful you'll get a message saying "bbcode copied and ready to paste", so just find your forum thread on ProBoards or whatever and Ctrl-V and paste it in.

Stats.py

Run "stats.py" and if the code is successful you'll get a message saying "bbcode copied and ready to paste", so just find your forum thread on ProBoards or whatever and Ctrl-V and paste it in.

Misc:

Disclaimer: References to my iannoble.org.uk webserver are currently still hardcoded. The code will source from my webserver for all the images the forum uses and I wont be keeping my webserver around forever.

Fixed the above issue 24th March 2024.

Appreciate you sharing this! For any editing of the code, did you use Anaconda or something similar (Visual Studio Code) as an IDE? Or did you do so from the Command Line/CMD?

I have both of those IDEs installed on my machine (though it is a Mac) and I have picked up Python coding in my work travels.

I did all this in Notepad++ but nowadays Visual Studio is my choice.

Here's the D5 rosters, just unzip then copy/paste the one file into any new Season save folder you start in-game: www.iannoble.org.uk/D5/site/D5%20Open%20Source/players.zip
