(I hope) Yeah i managed to have a look this morning after installing and it seems fairly straightforward The other info i figured out following on from what you found is; "Peter Carr",6,39,5.1,10.19,0,0 "Rory Schlein",6,17,2,3,0,12 Last number is nationality, 12 being Australian, 0 being English, 21 being Polish etc. First number (6) is Club ID, 1 being Arena-Essex, 24 being Workington 6 Being Edinburgh in this case. Other ID's 26 - Unattached List 28 - Foreign List (all assessed averages) 29 - Retired List So tested it out using Berwick and also figured you can change the Team names, Year and also change a clubs league and numbers of teams in each league. Date change to March 2020; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sp33dy89 15 Posted May 17, 2020 @Marksman Where did you find the info about leagues and changing the date? Wondering whether it possible to reduce the number of teams in a league and add a third league maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which means, the AI will do some weird stuff at some point which does have a an annoying tint on the overall game Pretty sure you can control every team on Flying Shale if you want to.

You don't need one for this, myself and others are running it fine as long as you've got the files correct. It doesn't need installing either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wondering whether it possible to reduce the number of teams in a league and add a third league maybe The date is in the save game file on line 133 if opened in Notepad++ 0,8,0,12,25,15,400,43,9,1,1,401,2020,8,0,1,5,436 43 relates to the points limit, i tried editing to 55 for example and it worked! 25 seems to be the number of teams, but doesn't work if you change it, probably will mismatch the code. The leagues start on line 2085 in the same save game file i.e.; 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,43,40.7,15,0,0,0,0,0 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2 The 2 at the end of the 2nd line denotes what league that team is in, 1 for EL 2 for PL. The teams are listed in alhabetical order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when you get the editing done and files saved - maybe you could share them :-) ? I need to learn this VB stuff... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
