I am creating a new thread here which will have a tutorial on how to edit players, their ages and nationalities. I am posting it again for making it easy for users to search for a tutorial on this forum

Before proceeding make sure you have installed Artmoney, Hex Editor and

have the decrypeted ICC 2002 database file which be downloaded from this link:

http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=44247&d=1182274740

Start the game and load your savefile. Press alt+ctrl+delete or hit the
"Windows" key to get back to Windows.Then follow these steps.Remember the

game has to be running at the background while editing.

1)Open the dataT.db1 file using the Hex Editor.

2)Open Artmoney.

3)Select the ICC game that you are currently playing from the drop down menu.The game will be listed.

4)Go to the Hex editor and select "Search" and select "Find"

5)Select "text string" and then check "begin" at the right hand bottom

corner of the "find" screen which will allow to search for a player from

the begenning of the file.

6)Type the last name of the player that you want to search.(If you have

checked "Case sensitive" option then type the first letter of the name in

capital).Lets assume that you are searching for Ponting.

7)Ponting's name comes up on the right hand side of the screen.

8)Now comes the tricky part which involves some accurate observation.

10)On the Hex editor look on the left hand side of Ricky Ponting's name

for the "@" sign. Highlight it and make of note of its value which can be

seen on the left hand bottom of the screen. Next to "Char dec" you'll

find the value as the number 64. Always remember for any player you have

to first look for the "@" sign and then take the values of the four

symbols in an order.

11)Repeat these steps for the next symbol after "@" which is nothing but

"U" in Ponting's case and its value turns out to be 218.

12)Repeat these steps for the next two consecutive symbols that follow.

Make a note of the values of all four symbols in reverse order. In

Ponting's case it turns out to be 128,189,218 and 64.

13)Now go back to Artmoney and click on "Search".

14)From the first drop down called "search" select "Sequence of values".

15)For the "TYPE" select "Integer Value" and "address range" as

"ALL".Then click "OK".

16)Now on the left hand side below the "address" option you'll find the

result of the search. Click on it and then click the red arrow so that

the values show up as a table on the right hand side.

To edit the AGE:

17)Now under the table on the right hand side you will find the sequence

of numbers 128,189,218,64. Always remember that the number to edit the

age is the number in the third row of the table.In our case it is 218.

16)Right Click on the number 218 and select "edit". Goto the "value" row

and change the number 218 to 221 which will make Ponting 23 or 24 yrs

old. CLick "OK"

17)Now right click on 221 and select "memory editor" which opens another

complex looking table.Remember the more you reduce this number the

younger a player gets.

18)If you dont want to change Nationality of a player then just click the

arrow on the right hand bottom corner next to "Value" which saves the

changes and then click "close". Age editing is done!

To change Nationality:

19)To change Nationality goto the 7th column and look for the number 43(

in Ponting's case) which stands for Australia. Click on 43 and then on

the right hand bottom corner in the box next to "Value" type the number

44 if you want Ponting to play for India. CLick the arrow again and then

click close. Nationality edited!

List of countries with Nationality numbers to change:

43=Aus
44=Eng
45=Ind
46=NZ
47=Pak
48=RSA
49=Sri
50=Wi
51=Bang
52=Zim
175=Aus(k)


Note:You can also change player's First Class team by changing the value of

the number above the Nationality in the 7th column.(in Ponting's case its the number above the number 43)

To Edit Money:

1)Start your game and load your savefile.

2)Click on "team details" and goto the "Finance" option.

3)MAke a note of the "Total" budget.

4)Now goto Artmoney.

5)Click "search" and from the drop down menu select "Exact value" instead

of "Sequence of values".

6)Repeat the same steps 16 and 17.

7)Type the exact amount that was mentioned under "total".

8)Edit the amount that you would like and goto Memory Editor and click

the arrow mark next to the box called "Value" at the right hand bottom

corner of the screen.

9)Money editing done! :cheers

I'm reluctant to have a 9th sticky, though I suppose this could be stickied in the downloads forum? As you do have to download ArtMoney and the database.

BTW this tutorial is for all ICC games and you can post all your queries here

I've tried to follow the instructions for editing. (I am trying to edit ICC 3).
But when I search, I never come up with a match. Is there a decrypted database for ICC 3 I should be using ?
Or am I just plain not doing something right ?

Cheers

Whats the purpose of the ICC2002 DB file when I'm editing ICC3 ? (I'm not as skilled as most able bodied people haha).

And I cant get the money one to work... I can get it to show up in the game, but as soon as I swap screens and go back to the finances, or negotiate contracts the money goes back to normal :(

And I'm unsure on this part:
15)For the "TYPE" select "Integer Value" and "address range" as

"ALL".Then click "OK".

16)Now on the left hand side below the "address" option you'll find the

result of the search. Click on it and then click the red arrow so that

the values show up as a table on the right hand side.

After changing the options as you suggest - what do I search for ?

Anyway, cheers for your reply!

Ok, I can now edit the Age, Nationalities and First class teams.

(I changed S Watson from Australia to England; and made him change from Queensland to Warwichshire) And made him 17y.o

I go into the game again, and its all changed on his profile; but he doesn't play for England at all (Still plays for Australia) and doesn't show up in my squad. So his profile says he is English, and plays for Warwickshire, but he still plays for Australia for some reason.
What have I missed ? lol

see it takes some time for Nationalities to take effect. If Aus are playing in a current series Watson will continue to play for them until the end of the series. From the next series he'll be available for England.
And in order to edit money you need to goto the Finance page and copy the total amount into the Artmoney editor and then change it as mentioned in the tutorial. Again you need to save the changes by going to the memory editor as you do in case of age editing

Thanks heaps

There is only one more problem i've had.
Watson eventually plays for England and all (After the world cup finishes) at the begining. But he never joins the County side (I played 3 seasons quickly, and it said he was playing for Warwickshire & England. But only played for England (I couldn't seem to get a contract for him for my county side). So effectively he only played for England and literaly no one else.
