Step-by-step instructions for editing ICC with Magpie

[Ferd]

no date at all works. I tried every date from 1st to about 25th and it was still invalid.

No offence Neil, but the editor its a great concept and all but should never of been released with it containing so many bugs with the possibility to destroy peoples databases, or at least with a readme of what not to do.

Which is why I posted several times, "back everything up before you edit", and there is a warning message to that effect which appears each time you run the editor. I can't take responsibility for people not taking adequate steps to protect themselves with what they know is experimental code.

Thanks for your help Neil, I've got the program working now. Can't edit the players' records though, comes up with

Any help here would be appreciated.

Another aspect I'm having trouble with is once I've edited players, I can't find them to get them into a team. I suppose I could edit the skill of the player using Magpie and then edit the name in ICC but that's a bit annoying.

I don't think the player histories editing is safe to use at present, you can change pre-existing ones, but it seems like adding new ones doesn't work.

I'm really having trouble with my regional settings.

Every time I update a players stats their birthdays are invalid dates. I read through this thread and have changed my regional settings (as suggested) a total of 4 times. Each time I have also restarted my computer, re-installed ICC and moved convdb.exe and magpie into the relavant folder. The settings are currenlty set on English(United Kingdom) dd/MM/yyyy. What should I do?

I don't understand why this isn't working, sorry, and it's not something I've been able to recreate here.

another thing i found is once you reset a players stats using the reset button you cannot save, you have to manually reset it which isn't much of a problem i guess but it can be a problem if you are using the reset button.

"Cannot Save" - you mean it gives the integer problem?

Is this with "reset all" or just resetting the rows?

When I edit a players info a message comes up saying "invalid date <birthday>" and no date at all is valid.

Your regional options should look like this:

"Cannot Save" - you mean it gives the integer problem?

Is this with "reset all" or just resetting the rows?

For me, whenever a 'reset row' or 'reset all' button is pressed in the players' history, it can't save.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Where does the "can't save" error occur - what's the message say?

 

[ICC Fan]

It occurs when you go to save - with the message: " is not a valid integer

 

[Neil Pickup]

OK, thanks. Will have a look into that. Weird...

 

[ICC Fan]

It's not a huge issue with the option to manually edit the player statistics though. Has this problem every been mentioned before?

 

[Neil Pickup]

I knew that the player statistics didn't work properly, but I didn't know the reset was messed up.

It happens a lot when editing.

My advice is to re-install the game, no save files will be deleted, then make a copy of the original DataP and DataT files.

Edit the copied ones which are renamed to DataT and DataP and then save, making sure you don't use the reset buttons and save.

If something goes wrong, delete them, make a copy of the original files and edit them again and keep on going until it works.
