View Full Version : Switching universe not working

Hey!

I've been using the IHOF logos to create a single-player fictional universe.

I've been using batch files before with succes. But now I can't seem to get it working. There's nothing wrong with the batch files, and I've tried copying it everything into universe/pictures manually.

The teams nicknames are right, but the cities are all messed up. I get Pittsburgh Lake Monsters, Boston Vipers, Green Bay Norsemen, Calumet Co. Prowlers, Dade County Gridlock.

Only one team is correct. Minnesota Miners.

Anyone's got a clue as to what's wrong?

IHOF (well, nearly all leagues converted from FOF2K4 to FOF2K7) has incorrect city affiliations in the default game files. (I *think* that this is because to create custom city locations in FOF2K4, the city editor basically hacked the data file. I'm not 10% sure on that, though.) Regardless of the reasons, my best guess would be that's what's going on there. It would make sense that Minnesota, which was probably the only city name in the original league structure that matched an NFL city name, would be the exception there. Depending on what you want to do in your SP league, it may be that your best solution is to go in and change the city affiliations manually. (For example, if you want to run Extender on your league, you absolutely need to do this.)

I have a corrected IHOF city configuration file for the purpose of running the Stelmack tools, but I never can remember which file does what. If someone can tell me which one holds city affiliations, I can make that one available to you to see if that fixes it, but I can't get to it until after around 5pm this afternoon.

Ah.. That's why...

I'll just try to manually edit them then :)

Thanks for the quick answer!
