Batch Files for FOF7?

Are they needed? Looks like if you change Mascots and City Affiliations it saves for the next game you try and create.

They are not needed. He mentioned that pre-release in the FOFC Q&A and in the podcast.

If I change the Team Mascot and home city, it stays that way everytime I reload the game.

Don't do that.

I think there's a difference between saving those changes when you have a game open (where it updates the files in that specific subdirectory) and when you don't have a game open (where it saves to the root directory). I'm no expert, but that might be your problem, Mike.

Out of curiosity, how are team logos handled then? I still see them in the Pictures directory of the installation, where do you put them now?

Everything (pictures, city files, and league files) goes in C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Solecismic Software\Front Office Football Seven\leagues\{leaguename} for MP and universe\leaguename for SP.

I see. I was wondering this too even though I knew batch files are a thing of the past somehow, just didn't know how it worked exactly. Thanks for asking Mike.

It looks like the league's folder is created when you join the league so all you have to do is dump the leagues replacement city files and graphics in there, right?
