Player Editing Tutorial

[Fe98]

Have you checked that when you pick your team for West Indies, he's there? And are you sure you're editing the right player? As there may be a number of people with the same birthdate. It can be checked by editing the age and making sure that the player in game has had his age changed as well.

Yeah, I've done all that. Strange thing, though, he has been called up for WI and has played for them, etc. So I guess it's working but it simply isn't showing up on his profile for some reason.

I seriously can not find players in ArtMoney.

Using Ben Harmison as an example - his birth date is 9/1/86 which means his code is 64-175-22-64, right?

If I type that in search in ArtMoney, it comes up with 241,030 addresses. If I do it without the hyphens, it comes up with 0.

Any help?

Dunno if you made a typo here or not, but it's 222 instead of 22. I only get 2 results when searching using 64-175-222-64.

Yeah that was a typo.

Cheers Chewie, got it working but some of the things in the tutorial don't seem to work.

A number of them don't work for me on ICC 2008, I did get Nationality, Contract Length, Salary and Batting Ability to work so far. I guess it's just a matter of figuring out offsets but it would take a while.

I've tried editing Stuart Hole (can't remember his first name) of Warwickshire on ICC 2008 but for some reason I can't change his nationality to West Indian. All the other nationalities work fine though but when I select 50 (for West Indian) and refresh his profile, it simply shows his team as Warwickshire (as opposed to Warwickshire & West Indies).

If I do it with Australia, for example, I get Warwickshire & Australia. Any ideas as to what might have been wrong?

are you playing as Warwickshire and West Indies?

 

[Fe98]

Yes

Ok, so far what I've found is that bowling ability seems to only work on ICC06. On ICC3, everything apart from adjusting bowling works, and on ICC08, batting works and nationality, contracts, but that's basically it.

I can get bowling type to work on none of them, never tried injuries or england contracts though.

Sometimes the country doesn't appear even though they're playing for it. It doesn't make a difference, just cosmetic basically.

Also good work on the Batting Preferences Anarchy, they work perfectly (on ICC06 and ICC3 at least).

 

[Fe98]

I can confirm that Bowling Ability is not in row 80 (ICC 2008) but in row 85. It was suggested in the thread that it would be in row 84 so maybe I've miscounted.

Here are the corresponding locations for ICC 2008 from what I've figured out using Anarchy's guide. Bear in mind that I did not test each combination for each value (e.g. I didn't test each combination of spin/pace and front/back foot preferences to see if they match with what was mentioned) so there may be some errors. I also am yet to discover some locations. Hope this helps in some way.

Value			R, C
-----------------------------
Nationality		1, 6

Contract Length		1, 10
Salary			1, 14
Salary Demands		2, 2
England Contract	15, 14

Batting Ability		4, 3
Off/Leg Preference	4, 1
Batting Preferences	4, 10
Hand and WK Status	5, 3

Player Type		5, 14

Bowling Ability		85, 7
Bowling Style		?, ?

Injury Type		6, 2
Injury Length		6, 6

 

[Anarchy666]

Yes

thats why the nationality doesn't appear in the players profile.

as your controlling the Windies, thats the 'home' nation as far as player info is concerned.

(basically it is a case of every player being a West Indian unless otherwise stated in his profile).

you should also notice every English player should in his profile say 'County Team' & England.

excellent work.

bowling style should be on the same row. it comes after bowling ability. i've updated tutorial on ICC 2008 cell locations.

Excellent work Fe.All you have said works for me.

Excellent work Fe.All you have said works for me.

Does this include [85, 7] for Bowling Ability (instead of 84)? I just want to verify that I didn't count wrong (I did try it another time and 85 seems to be correct). And all credit must go to Anarchy and Cottager (and whoever else figured out this stuff to begin with), though. I simply used Anarchy's guide and played around with the values which resembled those in order to find the corresponding ones for ICC 2008.

I have no idea how someone would go about figuring out something like this to begin with so their work is most greatly appreciated.

Yes bowling ability worked and it is in row 85.Thanks to everyone who worked on this.Now the game can be much more interesting.

 

[Simbazz]

So 2008 is almost cracked then? Now you guys know most values etc.

Editor, please?

 

[Fe98]

Hey, pavanbharadwaj (and anyone else with ICC 2008), could you test the Hand/Wicketkeeper values [5, 3]? I'm getting some problems identifying which value applies to which status. It may be different to what Anarchy has mentioned (or maybe I did something wrong).

Fe ? added 32 Minutes and 45 Seconds later...

I just rechecked the WK values [5, 3] and I'm getting some different results. Anarchy, how do we determine if a player is a part-time keeper or full time? From what seems apparent, there are wicketkeeper/batsmen in the game (unless I've misinterpreted the results). When I input some values (shown below) I get an icon with a bat and a keeper's glove - I assume this means a keeper/batsman. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Here are my results...

Range		Hand		Bat/Keep

0..15		Left		Bat
16..31		Right		Bat
32..47		Left		Keep
48..63		Right		Keep
64..79		Left		Both
80..95		Right		Both
96..111 	Left		Both
112..127	Right		Both

From 128 and above the results seem to circle as Anarchy mentioned (although in his tests it was 256)

 

[Fe98]

One more correction, apparently the Nationality for New Zealand is 46 and Pakistan, 47. I guess it changed since Anarchy's version.
