*Official* ICC2002 Editing Developments

[gio]

hey guys.......doing a gr8 job on this.......how long till a full editor (like the one we had for the first icc) will be ready......

I'm guessing a wee while yet, as these bowling attributes are causing a bit of a problem

Hi guys,

How do you get the editor to find the players? I've tried using DOS, but switching datap.db1 to datat.db1 but with no luck. Perhaps I've done it wrong?

The whole code was:

convdb datat.db1 datat.db

convdb datat.db1 datat.db

you need to have -d or -e in there depending on wether you are decrypting and encrypting

so

convdb -d dataT.db dataT.db1
convdb -e dataT.db1 dataT.db

Should work then

Hmm...it simply comes up with a load of symbols:

--------------------

You can see I have problems

 

[gio]

That means that the database hasn't been decrypted. Make sure you decrypt dataP as well as dataT...

thats now three seperate discussions on three seperate messageboards timers, we're doing well!

 

[Timewell]

Hmm...

It still doesn't work bringing up the above yet also saying:

'Ð is not a valid integer'

I decrypted dataP and then loaded Magpie, and then encrypted dataP and did the same for dataT. That didnt' work...then I did exactly the same - without loading Magpie and that didn't work.

 

[gio]

What you have to do is decrypt dataT and dataP into files called dataT.db1 and dataP.db1. You should then be able to load the database. It doesnt amtter about encrypting as thats only required when you make changes, and since the editor doesn't save player changes, there is no need to encrypt data.

 

[Timewell]

It still doesn't work

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong - quite what I'm not sure. I've checked and double-checked that the commands I'm entering has not been mistyped and that isn't the problem so - god knows what it is.

Which version of ICC are you decrypting?

 

[Timewell]

I'm decrypting ICC 2002 on Windows XP.

 

[gio]

hmm, seems rather odd. I really don't know why it isn't working. Are the db1 files created?

Anyone have any theorys about bowling yet? I totally lost.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Try downloading these databases:

http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~nsp201/dataT.db
http://gosh.ex.ac.uk/~nsp201/dataP.db

And decrypting those.

 

[sheep dog]

Hi Neil Pickup I was wondering how much longer it would untill the editor would able to edited the players

 

[masterblaster]

Yeah Neil mate, I know how stressful Uni studies can be mate...

When's the projected completion date?

Things have slowed a little recently...

 

[Neil Pickup]

The editor has gone as far as it can at present until the calculations for bowling abilities are cracked.

As it stands, I'd be able to build a "working" player editor but the bowling abilities would be significantly inaccurate. I need help on this front.

 

[superkingdave]

could you release a version where you could edit batting and contract etc and not th bowling then?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Yes - but I want to see if we can sort this first.

 

[imagine]

wouldnt it be easier to test with an editable version? like beta testing?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Not quite sure what you're aiming at?

 

[DaveyHall777]

Not quite sure what you're aiming at?

Would it be easier to 'edit' magpie than changing the data on the hex thing?
For example the stock/strike rating could be investigated more quickly if we could say change an entire team on magpie and look at what happens to each of them.

What magpie displays might not be accurate but after further investigation could be adapted if necessary.
