utility for editing in manager mode - Page 3

brooklynbums · 07-10-2003, 09:41 AM

This utility looks interesting and seems o be well received on the board.

There are two specific things I would like to do with it and want to know if these uses is how the utility was intended or it outside the realm of its intent and could face a potential negative consequence (like the earlier playing the all-star game post):

1. I would like to relocate a franchise within my league. Note that I am not changing the league strucutre (team would remain within the same division) but rather just want to change the city, niuckname, the minor league affiliates and the home stadium.

2. I would like to alter a players ratings and contract due to the fact that there is a mistake/omission in the roster set I am using and would like to fix it.

Appreciate any insight you can give me.

brooklynbums: You can change the city, nickname and minor league team names with manager mode on, but even if you do it with MM off, I don't believe it will have any adverse effect.

I've only noticed a problem when adding, removing or moving (to another league) a team.

As to the other things, they should work without problem as well. Of course, back up before editing just in case.

bsbll_n_mn · 07-20-2003, 10:46 PM

haven't had any problems with using it since the playing the all star game

bsbll_n_mn: Thanks for the update. I thought it would probably work OK, but it's still good to get a confirmation.

andjbock · 08-01-2003, 06:00 PM

can anyone tell me if there is anyway to edit the manager's stats? i didnt have MM turned on for 3 games and now will only have a 159 game record at the end of the season

old timer · 08-01-2003, 06:19 PM

The manager's stats can be edited with a hex editor, but that's the only way I know of at the moment. Maybe Pierre will make a utility for this. If not, I might, but it will be a while since I'm working on another utility at the moment.

I just used this utility and looked to make sure all the stuff on the manager screen was the same, it was but, i noticed that the diary had been erased. I know it isnt a big deal and has little or no affect on the game but it would be nice to have the diary.

boc61 · 09-21-2003, 03:14 PM

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but how does this thing work? I put it in the league folder and started it upfine, but where do I go to edit? do i start the game or edit files in the folder?

couriers · 09-21-2003, 03:53 PM

Start the game

boc61 · 09-21-2003, 05:08 PM

Yeah..I figured it out. I had to reinstall the game ..for some reason it didn't work the first time. Thanks.

Not sure this has been asked:

In the readme file, it is stated that a program "MSVBVM50.exe" may be needed for the toggle program to work properly.

Where can this program be found? - just in case I need it.

Thanks!

AdmiralACF · 04-17-2004, 05:55 PM

Just in case anyone is wondering, I've tried using the toggle utility with OOTP6 and it appears to work without any apparent problems.

Scott Gustafson · 04-17-2004, 08:44 PM

Yeah it works great with ootp6 too.

dan_garlick · 04-22-2004, 08:34 AM

Is it still possible to edit the difficulty with this for OOTP 6?I tried and the manager screens were not there in the drop down menu.Anyone know?

entropyw65 · 04-23-2004, 12:49 PM

Look up Dan. I've used the v5 editor and it works fine.

AdmiralACF · 04-25-2004, 01:31 AM

Dan, you can't adjust the difficulty level of your manager career with this utility. What it basically does is turns manager mode off so you can make changes to your game, then reloads your manager info when you use it again.

jff1515155 · 04-25-2004, 01:33 PM

Old Timer, are you planning to update the stats editor you created for OOTP5? Any info would be much appreciated as I used this editor A LOT for OOTP5.

MizzouRah · 04-25-2004, 06:01 PM

If you turn manager mode 'off' and leave it 'off', will it work just like a non-manager career game? I really don't like the manager mode and wondered if I turn it off for good - will any problems arise from it?

Thanks,

Todd

Shorty · 04-25-2004, 06:06 PM

Just retire Todd, then it will be off.

I didn't know if that would end my career or not.
