:cool: (bump)

I asked Ben to sticky this, but now that he got me sucked into WOOF and got me to update Interrogator, he's stopped taking my phone calls...

:p

I'll get to it as soon as I can. Kinda buys these days.

I'm tryin' :devil:

Is there a new Change Tracker utility for FOF7? I read in the old Change Tracker thread that Greg was going to code one for the new personal data export function.

Yes ;)

When i use Change Tracker it automatically opens with MS Works.

Do you guys know how I can have Change Tracker open automatically with OpenOffice instead?

It's a csv file I think, right-click on the file and select "Open with...", and then select "Choose default program" at the bottom of the menu, there you should be able to set it to OpenOffice

Thanks 3ric

Change Tracker? :confused:

Change Tracker has now been replaced by PlayerTracker - it was a utility for the last version that let you import player ratings from the game at specific intervals and allowed you to see their ability progression over time. PlayerTracker is the new version I wrote for FOF7 that uses the game exports.

Is exporting possible in the single player game?

"Export Data", yes. That generates the CSV files containing game information, that PlayerTracker uses.

Found it, for someone else looking for it: Its under the "Almanac" one of the last options.

anyone have a link or how to setup an export tracker?

Was looking for the 2014 draft file, posting it here for future reference:
Antdroid's 2013 Roster Update + 2014/2015 College Draft Files - Front Office Football Central

Not sure where to post this. I read somewhere that FOF7 is getting an update this autumn. True?

Before fall was the last date we were given: News about Front Office Football | Football Frontier

Do the historical rosters and draft files of 7 work in 8 or are changes required?

Help!

"First, you must use the FOF options to Export Data and Export Personal Scouting Data during the FA period when the draft class is available. This is the data the utility will use." - gstelmack

When I get to the place where the new draft class can be previewed, The options to "Export Data" and "Export Personal Scouting Data" do not show up in the Controls menu.

Sadly, and now confounding, a couple of draft ago, I was able to export the data and use D.A.. What an amazing tool! The game is already addicting and the D.A. added to my FOF habit. The last draft I was unable to use D.A. I did the draft w/o D.A., hoping to have it work this time.

I'm a single game player; learning the game and with virtually no experience using the utilities that have been developed.

Will somebody help? Thanks in advance.

Apologies for the repeated posting. My mistake.

A mystery no longer! Found out what I was doing wrong.

I'm posting this here for reference because I can never remember the location of the default Steam directory for FOF8 pictures, where the graphics mods need to go:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Front Office Football Eight\pictures

some of these links are dead. where are the clean looking logos? ive searched everywhere.

Does anyone have historic player and draft files that will work with fof8?
Links here for the fof7 files seem to be dead.

Anyone got a link for old draft analyzer?

How do I download that draft analyzer? when I click the link it goes to a dead end.

Are these threads dead? Every link I click on takes me no where, to a blank page

If you have bookmarked links, you’ll need to find them again (easiest way is by the search forum tool) and create new bookmarks

They’re all there - I fired up FOF7 again over the weekend (don’t like FOF8) and had to go through the same process.

E.g. the latest link to the Draft Analyzer download is in the last post of the thread still works

Draft Analyzer

Edit - even easier way: just paste showthread.php as below from the dead link, and you’ll get your page

E.g. for the Draft Analyzer thread

https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/?t=88538

Becomes

https://forums.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=88538

This works for the first two links, so I’m assuming it will work for the rest

Returning to FOF
 

Hi all, sorry to wake an old thread, but I'm returning to FoF7 on a new Win10 PC from a long time away from FoF2k7. I've found the old threads as suggested, but all the links to the utilities are dead - seems access to Greg's site no longer available.

Does anyone have an alternate source for the utilities they could share?

Thanks in advance.

Hope you get what you're seeking, but apologies in advance if the community has moved on. It's been years, after all.

Thanks Quicksand - I did find my old fof2k7 utilities, and on the fof8 reference thread I found links to Github that had a zip file of the fof8 version of the utilities.

Not having specific fof7 versions, will either the old fof2k7 versions or the new fof8 versions work on fof7?

Thanks for any help.

Does anybody have one?

Editing a save game
 

I accidentally accepted a renegotiation with one of my players and royally screwed up my cap for several years it looks like. Is their anyway to edit a savegame so I can tweak the salary?
