*Official* ICC2002 Editing Developments

[xixsoside]

We've found some stuff that we think might affect it in "crickman.dll".

However, we've no idea what does what.

So if you want to change things and see what happens - go ahead - that's the way we created Magpie!

Hmm, I got on this thing for a few minutes last night, but I doubt this file contains all the fixtures. The fxt files might have something in them.

I was able to figure out that the Fixtures started with the 2000 WC. They had that WC in file. The 2001 season and then the 2002. I tried altering the 2002 but was not that successful as it did nothing.

Any ideas on what I can use to play around with the DLL or FXT files. Last night I used a DLL reading program to read its content and to change it.

Bowling

Firstly - thanks to Neil and all of the other guys who've worked on it for Magpie as it's fantastic to be able to update the DB in ICC.

But.... has anyone figure out bowling yet? There are bad bowlers in the game who have top 'bowling skill' and full stock rating, and good ones who have bowling skill somewhere in the middle...

I've tried updating the England team and have been pretty successful, but I can't get Harmison to be any good - I see him as a 'strike' bowler with very high bowling skill, but I end up with a bowling average in the 40s for test matches.

Is everyone else experiencing the same sorts of things?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Yup...it's not an exact science. Somewhere along the way we've messed up what makes a very good bowler from a quite good bowler, I think.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I've been using notepad and a Hex editor.

We really need some help from Empire to crack it completely. Any enws from Dan, Neil?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Dan's been in touch with me, but there's been nothing from Empire at all

 

[gio]

And Dan won't budge without Empire's permission? Not even a few hints?

 

[DJellett]

Is there any way we can have either create
a) Completley new players
OR
b) Delete exisiting player's stats

Because it's really annoying when I have a new player who's never played but already has stats....

Anything Neil?

 

[superkingdave]

Neil as you know about previous career stats now, could you include an option to wipe the previous stats of a player? That way you could edit players properly, cheers

Dave - Yeah, can do that. Will do

Its in the pipeline

 

[DJellett]

Woo-hoo!

That will be great...

Any idea as to when Squads Editing will be done?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Is there any way to edit the county team they play for?

 

[gio]

Not yet, but like many other features, it's on the agenda

 

[NikhilN]

Is there any way to edit the county team they play for?

That will be the squad update


Neil any updates as of yet?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Patience, I'll tell you when anything happens.

 

[NikhilN]

Guys here is a tip...never set more then 1 person on full...I set P Nixon, G Jones, D Fulton, E Smith on full bat and I put my self as full bat and bowl...what happens is after 4 seasons they all want more then $200,000s a year!

 

[marc71178]

Then you complained about international call ups

Did you really need 2 brilliant keepers?

 

[DaveyHall777]

Hi Nik.

I did everything step by step.

I did it twice.

in the sc1 folder.

I got no result only the magpie logo saying file not found.

Mitchell

I have managed to get magpie to work with SC1. It was a bit fiddly
Basically - rename & then copy the dataP.db and datat.db files into the ICC folder. Do the converting there and then copy them back and change the name

Maybe we can 'crack' the code better with fewer players?

Screen shot of D Bradman's stats below

 

[DJellett]

Incredible! The Don doesn't rate very well with the bat...no wonder he never does well in the game....

 

[gio]

Can you take a shot of S.F Barnes stats. That will hopefully reveal more about bowling stats.
