Adding scouting zones?
ElvisGrbac
Okay. I want to add new scouting zones to my DB, since I like having Japanese, Chinese etc. youth riders. But how do I do it?

I have given up the idea of adding a "complete" zone with map and all that.

But I remember on an old PPDB DB, that they added a feature so when you scouted Canada, you would also get mexican riders eg.

So how do I add such a feature? So that when I scout Brazil I get Argentinians.

Please help me. I am not a complete idiot with the editors, so it wouldn't be a waste of your time Smile

I'll explain what I've tried so far.

I have found the STA_newriderarea (or something like that) table, and found Brazil and Baltic countries.

In baltic countries, 3 country ID's are mentioned (12,14 & 16), so I went to Brazil, and added 45 & 46 (Argentina & Venezuela), but it didn't help.

Am I on the right way? Or is this way off Grin

Well, doing that should work.

However, in the Local.cdb, you'll also have to add names in STA_newrider_firstname and _lastname for Argentinian and Venezuelian riders.

I did that...but I did it in OfficialRelease.cdb

So that might be the problem

Success!

Made some changes to Brazil. Scouted for a month, and voila 2 Venzuelan riders showed up Grin

Maybe my jubilant mood was a wee bit snappy...

when making a bigger edit to OriginalLocal.cdb, it crashes on save :s
 
CrueTrue
You need to edit the Local.cdb in My Docs/PCM, though Wink

About the crash, I need some more info: Does it crash when exporting? Does it crash in-game - when?

Ahh, okay...that may be the problem Grin

When i create a scouting zone in STA_new_rider-area e.g Portugal and in the game i try to to send a Scout in e.g. Portugal , Portugal is not indicated as a possible

If it crashes during export, it means that you've forgot to fill out a cell that should've been filled out, or that you've filled it out wrongly, for example by forgetting the ( ) (which is used in some columns).

I may have forgot something. Anyway, it was just a very small test. 10 names and one nation, so not much was lost

This is weird. I add Mexico to Canada zone, and it works - Mexican riders come up....But..I added some names, and gave them a unique ID and put 23 (Mexico) in country column.

But all the riders are called Alfredo Abelardo :s

EDIT: I edited the names in Local.cdb form MyDocs folder

That's maybe a bug with the game, I have simulated for about 4 years and I looked on the free agents : about 5 "Alfedo Abelardo" with the hong kong nationality.

Well, could it be that there's too few combinations?

Maybe...Canada has a range of 10-15 cyclists, divided by 2 that's roughly 5-6. I think I made 7 first and 7 surnames
 
ElvisGrbac
Okay, just checked the names thing. That may be the key. A country like Belarus for instance has 75 different firstnames in the DB.

So massive numbers may be the answer

Ozzy has made some sort of tool which can extract the most common names used from Wikipedia. I didn't check how it works, but you may find it useful:
