Ok, what should I change so that the Titans do not play in a fictional city named Tennessee? This is during gameplay when you get the welcome notification.

Shouldn't this say Nashville or whatever?

Shouldn't this say Nashville or whatever?I'll make one assumption here that I would think is a pretty safe one.

ASSUMPTION: The data tables in the Stelmack Utilities mirror the tables in FOF.

(In other words, this assumption means that Greg isn't grabbing the data from FOF and organizing it himself. He's leaving it organized the way it's organized in FOF.)

So, assuming the above is true, we know how Jim stores this data. Here's a partial sampling of it:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="320"><col style="width: 48pt;" span="5" width="64"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 48pt;" align="center" height="20" width="64">ID</td> <td style="width: 48pt;" align="center" width="64">Nickname</td> <td style="width: 48pt;" align="center" width="64">CityName</td> <td style="width: 48pt;" align="center" width="64">Abbrev</td> <td style="width: 48pt;" align="center" width="64">CityID</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" align="center" height="20">27</td> <td align="center">Buccaneers</td> <td align="center">Tampa Bay</td> <td align="center">TBY</td> <td align="center">153</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" align="center" height="20">28</td> <td align="center">Titans</td> <td align="center">Tennessee</td> <td align="center">TEN</td> <td align="center">154</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" align="center" height="20">29</td> <td align="center">Redskins</td> <td align="center">Washington</td> <td align="center">WAS</td> <td align="center">163</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" align="center" height="20">30</td> <td align="center">Browns</td> <td align="center">Cleveland</td> <td align="center">CLE</td> <td align="center">33</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" align="center" height="20">31</td> <td align="center">Texans</td> <td align="center">Houston</td> <td align="center">HOU</td> <td align="center">65</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

The contents of the CityName is used in a bunch of places in FOF. You could change "Tennessee" to "Nashville" using the "Edit City Names" feature, and that would cause Solevision to say "Welcome to Nashville, Tennessee." However, if you did so, everywhere else that pulls the city name (like teams stats and season standings) would then list them as the Nashville Titans.
