using retro court and changing players in db commander

[Andrew]

It's not duplicate players you're looking for, it's duplicate IDs. You should only be transferring over the players like Dumars and assigning them a new ID if their ID is the same as a player in the destination roster.

ok got it..thanks

[bethbucsfan24]

ok i transferred a couple players and the ID's we're not the same..i put in flase on the first line like the others already in the roster have and i went to the game to check and they we're in the free agents where i put them but when i click on their info to see that its blank..not like the players on their who show their info..college yrs pro..like on pistons hamilton shows his info..i transferred dumars from 89-90 roster to 09-10 and hes there but the info when u click thru game doesnt show?

[Andrew]

Did you also copy his entry from appearance.dbf?

[bethbucsfan24]

ok no i didnt..i was thinking that..i clicked in top to transfer some records..i guess i didnt get all them..well there is a transfer all but it does all the players and i dont want that..thanks

[bethbucsfan24]

ok i'm lost..i go to files click on the file i want under players and transfer them..how do i do appearance also?..down at the bottom it has all the listings appearance etc...i thought when i click transfer select reocrds..how can i make sure everything goes over at same time?

[Andrew]

At this point, I think it would be much easier to create the players you need in the new roster, using the data from the retro roster.

[bethbucsfan24]

i thought that myself...obviously i can do that...how do i?..just create and put in data?..or transfer data...but would i have the pic and cyber?

[Andrew]

Create the necessary players, then edit their data accordingly afterwards.

[bethbucsfan24]

so am i creating the player in the db commander?

[bethbucsfan24]

ok i see at the top under utilities or multi action some choices..can any of those transfer all i would need..im trying to figure it out myself

[Andrew]

so am i creating the player in the db commander?

No.

Create them in-game, save the roster, change their data as necessary.

[bethbucsfan24]

oh ok...i was thinking that..so if i create in game..then transfer data thru db commander will i get the cyber etc?...just asking...i was thinking i could thats why im asking another words i would get the cyber and data i need

[Dc311]

If you create the player in-game and in order for the cf's to appear you have to:

1.Open players.dbf and change DELETED and ISCREATED to False.
2.Make a PLAYERPKG name.Example:If you are going to use Joe Dumars then you would put the PLAYERPKG as jodumar.The PLAYERPKG needs to be the same as your players cf.
3.Write down the PLAYERID of that player.
4.Then open appearance.dbf and search for the PLAYERID of your player.It will most likely be at the very bottom of the list.
5.Change DELETED to False.And change FACEID to -1.
6.Close and check in-game if it worked.

Remember to always back-up your files before doing anything just in case something goes wrong.
As for the data,you are going to have to change that in-game before you change the other stuff i listed.Or you can change it in dbf commander but i think that is too much of a hassle.

[Andrew]

You might want to give this a try:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/wind ... -windows-7

[bethbucsfan24]

i tried that..didnt seem to help..i sent an email to 2k support with a DXDIAG report from my computer to see if they could help

[Andrew]

Are all your drivers up to date?

[bethbucsfan24]

as far as i know..i just bought the computer..well new hard drive(tower)

[Andrew]

It might be worth checking. Try downloading and installing the latest drivers for your video card.

[bethbucsfan24]

i am looking into that..thank you for your help

[Andrew]

You're welcome, hope you can get it sorted out. Depending on who set it up, they might've skipped a few steps or not done a thorough job installing all the latest drivers so yeah, it's worth checking out.

[bethbucsfan24]

I havent got a reply yet back from 2k so probably Momday for that...I'm looking into the latest graphics cards but it seems nothing will work or download
