Re: FIFA DB Master - Alternative db editor

While some things (such as team information and player names) are obvious, some things are confusing (i.e. Mike Modano's height is listed as 21... which has nothing to do with 6'3", with his state being listed as 37, his weight as 55 and his year drafted as 29. What does this all mean?)

Re: FIFA DB Master - Alternative db editor

If I make changes using this, can I get them back into the game some way?


Playing NHL Legacy on PC with RPCS3.


...



Ok, I think I've got the hang of this now.


1. Make sure the save is unencrypted (an RPCS3 save can be used as is).
2. Export the db from SYSDATA using NHL DB patcher v1.2.
3. Use DB converter to convert the file from PS3 to PC format.
4. Open the DB file using the XML for NHL Legacy.
5. Export all tables to CSV
6. I will try converting and editing the csv AI files with my statistics based attribute tools.
7. Import edited csvs to tables
8. Save changes to DB file
9. Use DB converter to convert the file from PC to PS3 format.
10. Import the db to SYSDATA using NHL DB patcher v1.2.
11. Make sure the save is encrypted (an RPCS3 save can be used as is).

Re: FIFA DB Master - Alternative db editor

I've verified this now by blanking off awareness and def awareness to 0 (36 ingame) for all players using excel then importing back. It worked. Now I can convert my tools if I want to edit the excel files. Pretty powerful stuff for roster updates. It does involve a lot of manual steps as you see above, I wish I didn't need all of them.


Edit: I seem to be getting random freezes in the menu now so perhaps it wasn't as flawless as I thought.

Have you been able to get strings updated in-game?

I've converted the nhl_eng_us.db file using DB Converter, renamed all instances of Anaheim Ducks (and the variations of) with DB Master, but after converting back with DB Converter and replacing the file, it still shows Anaheim Ducks everywhere.

If you use the latest update for Legacy there are nhl_eng_us.db in the update container and the game will read that file instead of the file in fe/loc folder. What you should do:
1) Disable the update.
2) Extract the latest loc db from update and place it to fe/loc folder and set loc db hash to 0 in patch.big:

I'm confused again now. Does my step by step guide above miss a hashing step?

Re: FIFA DB Master - Alternative db editor

I am editing an NHL 10 database, and I have a question:

What are all the country IDs? I'm asking because one of the players in a mod I am working on is from Serbia.

Since NHL 07's databases were able to be opened using the converter, I assumed I was able to open it in DBMaster, but oh boy, I couldn't be any more wrong, as it resulted in an IMMEDIATE unhandled exception error.

How would edit lines in DB Master? Asking because the way I edited players in NHL 11 wound up resulting in renamed players on the Stars being on line 4 when they should be on line 2.

Re: FIFA DB Master - Alternative db editor

The DB Converter no longer works for me, which means I cannot convert files from PS3 to PC like I could in the past. This is detrimental to my mods, as the conversions are necessary for DB master to read the files.

Just going to bump this by way of necroposting.

Re: FIFA DB Master - Alternative db editor

Hello, could you help? I edit the fe/loc eng_db file, change Arizona to utah, go into the game, everything applies, but as soon as I load my roaster, I immediately get an empty name, instead of Utah there is a void ... I do it on rpcs3.

So the way the game saves the data and the way the editors read it is different. So even though you can edit something it doesn't mean your change can be made. It takes a lot of expertise and coding experience to get all these things to line up. The only real way to edit NHL games is using NHL View, however changing team names isn't possible. Team names are stored in many places in the game code. Who knows might be possible in the future but not at the moment.

Coming in from the future to bump this, were you able to get it working again?

Re: FIFA DB Master - Alternative db editor

Does anyone anyone have a working link for the original nhl_eng_us files? The one posted here (the last link) is broken.
