Step-by-step instructions for editing ICC with Magpie

[dannyb]

now ive got that version i can actually edit it. but i cannot play as i get back to the runtime error, if anyone has it working could they do me a fav. give me the regular database but with me on? yeah i wanna make myself good but....ya know!

if anyone is willing let me know and all add to msn

Neil, somehow, bizarrely, that old magpie has worked... in a weird sort of way

If i open the database with magpie old, save without doing ANY changes whatsoever, then open it with magpie current, it works fine, can save my changes... I've noticed with kentlads db, if i open and save with magpie old, then open with current, nothing has changed, ie harmison still has 118 bowling skill, despite Mag Old having a limit of 111

So i'm guessing all the other improvements in Mag Cur work too

edited a few players (including, gosh, wait for it, their histories), started a new game, no error message, histories not botched (though i changed each value independently, without using the clear buttons), havent had an error message yet.... not actually processed the game past day one yet though.....

So... yay, i suppose

---
edit, auto played match one of the season, worked fine and dandy

Player salaries

Hey guys. Been using magpie to stack a team with top players, working fine, but once I get to the pre-season contracts screen it suddenly bumps up all my player's salaries so that I have no budget left.
Is this a solvable problem or do you just have to live with it for being a cheating *******?

Thanks in anticipation and here's hoping the Poms can roll the Aussies in the Ashes... please!

Latter. Take it on the chin.

Edit your budget with artmoney.

This one's mainly for Neil...

Just wondered if there's any progress on updating Magpie to include the ability to change ethnicity without the errors, and also to make bowling skill up to 120+ without the errors when trying to save.

Also on another point, is there a fielding ability - especially for wicket keepers??

Thanks.

The downloads in Step 8 no longer work - I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, could someone in the know help me out a touch please?

Skip that, searched the thread and found some working ones.

How do I change my date to English (UK)

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Dates, Time, and Regional Settings (something like that) -> Regional Settings -> then on the first dropdown menu, choose English (UK)

Hope that helps

I had a similar problem when I first used the program except the box in your message was an apostrophe in mine - the problem was when I had edited the career statistics - did you edit those?

Don't have the faintest idea about that, sorry - see if the updated version that does the decryption itself will get you anywhere?
