URGENT HELP PLEASE !!!!

Postby xxxFALKORxxx on Sat Oct 25, 2003 6:52 am

Hi;

i have a franchise running, after the finish of a seasson, i edited the players dbf file a little bit (mostly salarys, years remaning, etc.); now when i load my saved franchise, i had some rosters with only one player!!!, and the game crash.

I can't back to the old file, i dont remember all the changes and didn't make a backup either.

What can i do?

Not much you can do. You should always make a backup when editing DBF files. I'm afraid you've lost your data.

i was affraid of that... but what is the reasson, i think the game loads the data from the dbf and use it.

Why the rosters corrupt that way?

Yes, the game loads player and team data (amongst other data) from the DBF files.

What did you use to edit the files?

A dbf file editor; i've been using dbf files for long time, so i'm very familiar with the format. Certanly didn't use excel to open them... :)

I noticed several copys of the dbf tables on different folders: currentdb, originaldb, workingdb... besides the ones on my save folder, what are they?
