Are you sure you changed them in the National League and not the County Championship? Use the top-left combo-box to cycle between the 4 comps in the English season.

is there a list of what byte does what in the tmt file? i am interested in having a look. it looks very similar to the rugby 2006 tmt file, just bigger and am wanting to play with that to create tornaments for that.

Ok. First thing to say is that all the tmt files are slightly different so I can't really give you a byte list.
The first thing the editor does is to get the tour type (which is the same byte for all tours):

Byte 830448 - Tour Type (in decimal)
02 = Knockout
03 = World Championship
04 = World Series
05 = Test Series
08 = English Season
09 = County Championship
10 = National League
11 = C&G
12 = Twenty20
13 = Australian Season
14 = PURA Cup
15 = ING Cup
17 = Long Aus Tour
18 = Short Aus Tour
19 = West Indies Tour
20 = Long English Tour
21 = Short English Tour
22 = Ashes Tour (Aus)
23 = Ashes Tour (Eng)
24 = ODI Circuit
25 = South African Tour
26 = Subcontinent Tour
27 = Zim/NZ Tour

There are then 4 offsets (at minimum) you have know for each tournament:

Where the teams are stored
Where the user controlled teams are stored
Where the standings are stored
Where the fixtures are stored

Annoyingly these vary from tmt to tmt.

Teams

These are stored at 4 byte intervals and use the team code for each team. Knockout is 857728 for example and there are 8 teams.
I've posted my code below so you can get the offsets for each one: (teamoffset - ignore the other stuff and standings offsets aren't included).

Code:
Select Case tourntype
            Case 2
                lbltournamenttype.Text = "Knockout"
                totalteams = 8
                tournoffset = 857760
                teamoffset = 857728
                fixturesoffset = 857792
                fixturesoffset1 = 0
                lblcc1.Hide()

User controlled teams

tournoffset is where the teams are listed again (4 bytes apart) with a 1 if they are user controlled and a 0 for computer

Standings

Stored in 40 byte intervals, shows the tables for the tournament.

e.g 857744 - Test Series

In a lot of tournaments there is more than one set of standings (and indeed teams). Hopefully the following code will help (!):

Code:
'test series
        For a = 0 To 50
            FS.Seek(fixturesoffset + a * 28 + 2, SeekOrigin.Begin)
            b = BR.ReadByte
            If b = 5 Then Exit For
        Next
        FS.Seek(fixturesoffset + a * 28, SeekOrigin.Begin)
        a = BR.ReadByte
        b = BR.ReadByte

Fixtures

This is probably the easiest part to understand (the offsets for c2k5 are in the first block of code):

Fixtures come in 28 byte blocks as follows:

(28+) 0 - Team 2
1 - Team 1
2 - Length of match (days)
3 - Match result
4-13 - match result and scorecard info (haven't checked it out properly)
14-15 - Overs
16-18 - date and venue (also changes when match is over)
20-23 - Match Type (e.g. test match, tour match etc).


I realise this isn't as helpful as it might be but the tmt file was quite a lot more complicated than I was expecting. I can give you a breakdown of exactly how the fixture bytes work if you like or if you have any other questions then feel free to post them.

this will be a big help actually, probably more than you realise :) cheers for that.

I have been workin on the rugby2k6 and have changed the teams and such, just about to change the fixtures now, with the help you just sent me but saying that they are different for all of the tmt files is putting me off a little.

we will see how things go though :) hopefully i can do something.

cheers

The offsets are different not the format. Once you've got one you've just got to do what I did with the filetypes sub and assign variables for the teamoffset etc.

I have one doubt on this Editor...though havent downloaded it yet :D ...Actually I am a Test match freak..usually playing Test Series/Frizell/Pura...
I would love to play the Foreign Tour but it includes One-days as well...So, will this Editor help in removing all those Onedayers ( i.e retaining only 4/5 day matches )

Yes, you can change them into 4/5 day matchs (or even as part of the test series) or just cancel them altogether.

I seem to be stuck on this...Downloaded the Tournament Editor...In C2005 I saved a .tmt file ( NZL & Zim tour )....

Opened the .tmt file in Tournament Editor....the first match was a One day agst. N.Districts....converted it into a 3 day game....Next up was the ODI series agst hosts NZL...I made None ( in place of NZL ) for all 5 ODI's...Retained the 3 Match test series and a 4 dayer agst. Canterbury.

Then I opened the same .tmt file in C2005...after the first match( the 3 day agst ND) the game crashed back to Desktop when I clicked Continue.

The only option left for me is Using the Rt. Arrow Remove NZL and put in None..But in such a scenario I cant even play the Test Series agst. them..
(Imagine going on a NZL tour and playing only agst. N Districts and Canterbury and returning home :D )..

I think the same problem will happen to other tours. So, How to cancel only the ODI's agst the host and play only the 4 /5 day matches OR even vice-versa for that matter ( some people may want to play only ODi's and Cancel Tests)

One more thing is, I went to the Domestic Mode->Pura Cup. In place of the Australian Counties, I put in 6 International teams. When I saw in Cric 2005 this thing looked pretty awkward ( See the screenshot )...

BTW, How do I change all these matches to 5 day instead of 4 day AT ONE GO.

Your method was correct; my code was buggy. All fixed now.
You should be able to cancel any match without it crashing.
I've not added a multiple days feature as I've not got time I'm afraid. You'll have to do them manually.

colin, why are you so smart? I briefly browsed through the thread and I can't understand one thing that has been said... nice work.
