cody8200 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Well one of the beta testers had it but I dont think it works with the latest version of the game. He had made it during one of the first beta tests. So, someone will probably have to make it again. -beta tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Icy] Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Go to the folder where you have BBCF installed, usually it will be c:\program files\GDS\Bowl Bound College Football demo\ There you can see a database named: pstats.dat Open it with Microsoft Access Double click on the on Teams table The second column are the team nicknames. Now if you have the time, edit all them to match the real ones. Once finished, click on save file and that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classic32 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 What if you don't have Access. Also Open Office's database program dosn't work with these .dat files. It basically shuts out anybody who has Microsoft Access from customizing the game easily. Are there any other alternative programs to Microsoft Access?

classic32 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Thanks Icy, I got it to work. Note to others. Make sure under your folder options that you are available to view file extensions when changing .dat files to .dmb files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Icy] Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Here it is: [url="http://www.prodeportes.com/bb/pstats.zip"]http://www.prodeportes.com/bb/pstats.zip[/url] Download it, unzip and overwrite the one you have in the demo folder. I have tested it and the game opens without problems, what i have not reviewed is if all the team nicknames are correct so please guys report any wrong one. Thanks Grantdawg for taking your time to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyDog Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'd like to do some playing around, too, but for some reason I can't open anything in the main folder in Access. Is there some trick to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
