deleting a player from Free Agent

[Fluffy Taco]

is it possible to remove a player from Free Agents? because i had made a created player and applied a "face" onto him and now i want to remove it from the roster and redo one. how can i remove it using the DB Commander? i already removed the lines from appearance.dbf and players.dbf and when i go into the game and load the roster, it is still there.

The best way to remove a player is to just change his TEAM and CASH_TEAM to 32 (Retired) or 38 (Referees).

but what if it is gone from the database already and i cant change anything, since i clicked on the 'delete selected record(s)' button.

[Andrew]

I'd restore from a backup if possible as that dbf could be problematic.

[Fluffy Taco]

and how would i be able to do that?

[Andrew]

Well, you'd need a backup of the file you've been working on to begin with. If you don't have one there's not much I can suggest. Once you start deleting rows in the database it usually starts to cause all kinds of problems that are impossible to fix.

[Fluffy Taco]

would it fix the problem if i re-download the roster?

[Andrew]

It should, unless the problem lies within the roster itself.
