Roster editor possible - But I'll need some help

Re: Roster editor possible - But I'll need some help

I have successfully modified a roster and imported it back into the game with ratings adjusted. I can post screenshots tomorrow when I'm back home to show you.

So this game does allow the user to re-rate players?

The game itself doesn't, no; but by editing the save files, this is possible, yes.

Does the CPU actually play smarter with really high ratings.....low INT's, good passes, etc....

Ok, here is another question for you...

Since It appears like it will soon be possible for us to edit rosters with this new found fortune...

Will there be a way for us to play with more that 1 user team in Season mode??? If that can be added, as well as the ability to edit the rosters, I don't think I'll ever by another football game...

I do not know as of yet, I haven't looked at a save game from season mode, only the custom team files.

Nevermind better not put up that info.

Hey, eaglefan, hope you don't mind me posting this info over on the Backbreaker forums.

I just figured the more people that knew about it, the better the chances would be that we find someone to make the GUI...

Man, the guys on the backbreaker.com forum are being dicks. I don't think they understand the idea behind having customized ratings for offline play.

Re: Roster editor possible - But I'll need some help

real quick. probably have to make a few changes:

#!/usr/bin/perl

<stdin>use strict;

sub hex_to_ascii ($)

{
## Convert each two-digit hex number back to ASCII.

(my $str = shift) =~ s/([a-fA-F0-9]{2})/chr(hex $1)/eg;
return $str;
}

#Try it out

while (1)
{
print "Enter hex for conversion: ";
chomp (my $str = <STDIN>);
last if !$str || $str =~ /^(?:quit|end)$/i;

my $ascii_str = hex_to_ascii $str;

printf("\tASCII: %s\n\n", $ascii_str eq $str ? $ascii_str : $ascii_str);
}


++OUTPUT++

Enter hex for conversion: 6261636b627265616b6572
ASCII: backbreaker



</stdin>

Matt,

Converting the hex to ASCII format is not an issue, honestly. I mean, even with my limited knowledge of PHP (the only language I'm familiar with), I can do that. The need is for a GUI that reads the data, presents it in a readable format, and allows for user manipulation.

And just for giggles, what your code would look like in PHP:

<?php
    /* convert a string of hex values to an ascii string */
    function hex2str($hex) {
      for($i=0;$i<strlen($hex);$i+=2)
        $str .= chr(hexdec(substr($hex,$i,2)));
 
      return $str;
    }
 
    echo hex2str("48656C6C6F2C20576F726C64210A");


?>

Output: Hello, World!?

If I get the game, I will more then happy to create an editor for it. Who knows what is changeable and what isn't but I think it would be an interesting project.
