So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

I'll give it a look myself as well. If there is a way to put the in game versions of Rice, Montana and Lott together or the old Baltimore Colts and the 70's cowboys without tier conflicts then this is the only way I guess.

Given that some of the pre-made teams do break the tier limits, it may well be possible by editing the data.

I've also noticed that alot of formations and plays are unavailable to anybody but premade teams (go to practice mode and choose CPU plays).

There is a ton about this game to unlock....I wouldn't be surprised if there are hidden legends that 2K couldn't get there rights in time but created anyway.

Interesting, I didn't know that, how do you do it?.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Wow this would be Great. Will this also work for the PS3 when it is cracked?

IF it is, I wouldn't see why not. I'm pretty sure you can resign game saves for ps3 and it would work. I've only done it with xbox so far.

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

After looking at the roster file through a HEX editor, I could not find any links to the abilities or your created teams from the names listed on the file. Yeah you can change several text areas of the game but I saw nothing that rang out abilities or teams. Names, cities, team names and others seem to be in there but I was primarily looking for the teams themselves and player abilities. I am far from being an expert but I did not see anything that struck me that would lead to being able to manipulate players and their abilities other than the names. Which is still a good thing. I will keep looking.

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

Thanks for looking into that. I did the same thing over the weekend. Basically what I did was, create one player, save the roster file, change one ability, save the file. Then in the hex editor I analyze the file, compare the two files to find differences. Which I found some differences. Then I saved a third file with different abilities but with one ability the same in all three files. Then I went into to all three files so see if I could find the common things among the differences that I saw earlier. If that makes sense?

But, I didn't find anything that made any sense, I kept finding the same differences among the files. Maybe I just confused myself in this whole thing or I'm just going about it all wrong.

But you can definitely change team names, city names, etc. as long as it fits the same number of letters it had before. I tried changing some team names that were longer than the original ones, and the file wouldn't load. So I'm not sure how to get around that.

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

There has to be some way to adjust abilities and stuff like that. I understand not being able to change stuff with the pre-made teams, but created team information has to be saved to some file. If it is saved to the roster file, there has to be some sort of way to figure out where it is and what it means. What files have you guys been looking at? I know you've probably looked at roster and season files. Isn't there some other types?

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

There are basically roster, season, settings, and profile saves.

I would imagine there is a way to do it, but what we need is someone who really knows what the file structure is like, and that's not likely to happen.

Could Finn do it? If not, I wouldn't mind fronting some money to find someone who could do it.

BTW, does anyone know if Finn is working on an editor?

I'd like to know this as well. I know Finn is more of a hockey guy (at least from what I remember), but he did make the NFL 2K5 editor.

So, yeah, I kind of have the same question. Is Finn even working on an editor, or are we all just kind of hoping and speculating at this point?

He made a comment in this section about how an editor may be possible now, but hasnt said a word about it since and I dont know if anyone has sent him a PM. He has been on and posted in other areas since so who knows.

Thanks sir, maybe I will shoot him a PM just to see if it's something he is currently or considering working on.

Re: So I changed the name of Calvary to Cowboys in season mode

I've been researching on how to decipher hexadecimal, etc.. I came across this site that shows exactly how to edit the save game file for Need for Speed. http://wiki.nfsunlimited.net/wiki/Ne..._Editing_Guide

The thing to learn from this is that the text on the right side of the hex editor has little to do with what it actually means in the save file. So if we can just figure out how to decipher the save file like that of the Need for Speed Carbon hex editing guide, we'll be in good shape.
