ANother question:

What if Andrew's gonna release a new roster that contains updated accessories for each player, what file should i copy to my old dynasty in order for it to be updated as well?

That would be appearance.dbf, but unless you're copying the players.dbf file as well, you're going to get problems. And if you copy the players.dbf file to your Dynasty file, you're going to have a whole other set of problems. The only way to do it safely would be to create a batch file that updates all the accessories for players in your Dynasty save based on the data in the latest rosters.

If you mean the fields and values, check out the DBF Guides:

Hi Andrew,

Thx but no. The display in the window of UltraEdit is problematic.

You don't edit DBF files with a Hex Editor like UltraEdit. You use DB Commander, DBF Viewer Pro, OpenOffice or Excel.

Ok, thx Andrew. This is what I thought. Usually I use DBFViewer or DBFManager. Tracywtfacy's comment surprised me.

I'm not sure why (or how) he was using UltraEdit. There are uses for hex editors in modding the games but not when working with the databases.
