Re: Generic EA Roster Editor

Been working with the editor to make it easier to identity what can be edited.

It takes time because every edit of the file has to be crossed checked to see if/how it will work with the ROS/DYN files.

Will post updated file here soon as I get home in a bit.


As far as Mass edit's go, I just use the Madden Editor to export to Excel, edit & Import. (not as bad as I thought)

Here's the notes (off the top of my head) thus far.
***Most editable stuff from console can be done, so I won't list

Some good:
Team
1) Can edit BCS Rankings for both Roster & Dynasty

2) Can edit Team Prestige (1-6 Stars)
--giving a "0" will cause Team Data (ros, logo's etc...) to go blank

3) Can edit Conf/Div team belongs to
--outside of adding to

Coach
1) Can control multiple teams in single Dynasty
--only tested up to 5, but more should be able to be done

2) Can edit Rating

3) Can edit Prestige (including Off/Def Coord's)

4) Can edit Off/Def Aggr (to me 99's changes CPU gameplay)

5) If file accepts "Fields"; would be able to edit
--Recruiting: Tendency for each Position
--Recruiting: Position Importance

Player
1) Can edit Tendency (no matter what you edit ratings to)

2) Can edit Recruits (MAYBE!!!)
--Over 8,000 players in Dynasty File For some reason, Recruits do not show up in the file.

3)Found how to edit "All-Americans", just got to edit General xml to pull-n-populate the data, then we're good to go!!!

Conferences
1) Can add additional teams beyond 16
--must be one of current teams
--Don't know the Max can add before freezing (did an ACC 24 and it froze)

2) Can edit Schedule (once game generates)

Some bad
Team
1) Dynasties with Created Teams cause editor to not list some fields/data
--tried to see if Created Teams could be added to ROS file to see if additional teams could be added to Conf's at the "start" of a Dynasty
(thus being able to add FCS Teams)
NOTE: the game does list FCS Conf's in file, but when edited...
a) there's no "Logo" for Conf
b) teams can be edited to show in Conf; just forgot what game did

2) Generic Teams can be added to a Conf (pre-dynasty)
--to see if additional Teams could be added this way, but...
a) Generic Teams have "NO" editable Roster, even in Dynasty
b) although they have in-game art (stadium etc...) to use, it doesn't show

Coach
1) As noted above, trying to find what's preventing Recruiting "Fields" from being recognized

Player
1) Can't seem to find data that list "All-American" tag to players

Conferences
1) Although FCS Conf's are in file, only Dynasty File pulls data to show they are there, ROS File does not show

2) Additional Slots for teams to be added beyond 16 are editable in Dynasty File, but...
--does no good because we're still stuck with the inability to add additional teams beyond the 119

11/16 Update
I'm on a Mac at school, so hopefully everything works
(changed xml to txt to upload, change back to xml and see if works)
