johnnymac8 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Does anyone have any advice on how to add UAB and Coastal Carolina? Also is there any way to add the actual players into the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolymuffler Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 <p>Yup, I just did that (as well as adding UAB back in).</p><p> </p><p> You have to add the cities in the City table in psetup.dat (Lynchburg VA and Conway SC). I copied the weather and climate data from Charlottesville VA and Charleston SC; I figured they would be close enough for this purpose.</p><p> </p><p> Then you have to edit the Conference table in pstat.dat to have the correct number of members (for 2018, Independents will have 6 members and the Sun Belt will have 10; the Sun Belt has 11 current members and is adding Coastal Carolina but it's also losing Idaho to FCS and NMSU is going independent).</p><p> </p><p> Then you add the teams to the Teams Table in pstats.dat; getting the color codes in there is the hardest part. I just copied the codes from teams with similar colors; it doesn't look good but it works.</p><p> </p><p> I didn't bother trying to get a Championship game going for the Sun Belt or Big-12. I don't know if it will work with a non-divisional Champ game (Big-12 plays round-robin and then the top two play again) or with 2 divisions of 5 teams (Sun Belt). And honestly I think having Champ games for these two conferences is kind of dumb, so I just left them playing round robin. Not 100% accurate but good enough for me.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolymuffler Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Oh, and as far as actual players I don't think you can. You might be able to once a save is created, but it would be LOT of work. And the recruits would still be fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennkerp Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Would you be willing to share your psetup.dat and pstats.dat files? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolymuffler Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 <p>Yep, I shared them in the main Bowl Bound discussion forum (along with a powershell script to reverse hard-coded games to home and home each year):</p><p> <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=539731" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=539731</a></p><p> </p><p> Be sure to read the description; it has what I changed (you might not approve of all I did) and how to use the script.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
