Unpacking Databases?
SportingNonsense
Not quite true, I think Cyanide gave Feillu 62 in Sprinting Grin Their best sprinter at the mo, given 62. Hehehe.

Its not just the french that dont like Geraint, I think the RSM News DB calls him Thomas Geraint.

yes it does, i forgot about that, but they're German (i think) so they don't count

So there isn't any ways to edit your savegame without a tool?
 
Addy291
no, i don't think so

i'm going to unpack a GCT db tonight as the cya official names is crapWink
 
Addy291
i've tried unpacking the GCT db v1.1

i have tried issoisso's method of renaming it Local.cdb and starting the game

and the other guys of putting it into the Solo folder clicking 1 player and it crashing (it doesn't crash for me)

after both i still cannot find a file called decompress anywhere, if anyone can tell me where i'm going wrong then that's be nice, i will keep trying different things though

The same happened to me - I couldnt decompress.

But isnt the GCT already decompressed? The filesize suggests so.

1. if the file size is 300kb or more, it's already decompressed.

2. I put it into PCM 2006(!!!) as the Local.cdb and started it, and then the decompress.tmp is on the PCM2006 main folder.

oh ballsPfft

thank you Sporting, well that's a lot of time wasted, i wondered why it didn't workPfft

now i can get on editing, editing with this takes so much more time than the Cya official editor, hopefully they'll be releasing one at some stage

thanks againSmile

Addy291

If you want my tip for Hannes, make the columns that you dont want as small as possible. When I did a bit of stat editing I minimised all but the user id, name, team id, country id, potential and the stats.

oh thanks never thought of thatSmile

better yet, open the table you want to edit in hannes, then hit "save" at the bottom right corner to save it to an access DB.

why?

in access you can select columns, right-click the leftmost one of those you selected and click "hide columns"


this way, they disappear from view Smile

can't get what to work? tell me what you did and what happened. be descriptive, please (this way there's a better chance I can help you straight away) Smile

1. i opened up the Hannes convertor
2. i didn't load a db, i just clicked on DYN_cyclist straight away
3. i clicked the save button next to the kopieren button
4. i waited for it to stop saving then right clicked on a box (tried almost all boxes)

but no little drop down menu came up, probably missing something obvious, there never has been a smart YorkshiremanPfft

I will upload a new way of decompressing files very soon.

there's no box


it just saves the table you have open right away to access.

close hannes, open the Hannes folder

open the"DB" subfolder

there's the access DB. open it, the list of tables should be on the left.

when you're done editing it, save it, close it and re-open hannes. the stats in Hannes will already be automatically updated to what you did in access.

there Smile
