Re: How to edit Amiga Career (.car) file?

I was wondering how do you edit the career files? All im looking to do is change the names of some of the reserve/trialist players. I have extracted my career file from the save.adf disc and I try to open it with a hex editor, but it just crashes, is there another way to do it or is it not possible?

i wanna know how to do this myself so i can get more than 16 real players in my squad before start a career

If you want more than 16 real players in squad then you have to program a new SWOS....

i used to hex edit mjy amiga career files all the time using newzap on the amiga, or by using an action-replay III cartridge on my amiga500 and editting the memory directly.

its pretty easy as a i recall, once you get to know some memory locations.

hahaha... from 9 years ago?? you gotta be kidding!

work out the hex value for your teams money, and search for that - its a good starting point.


other than that i remember players stats being stacked up as a small block altogether eg.... FF FF FF FF - where each F represents a different statistic... so this player would have maxed out speed/ tackling etc values! - this MAY have come shortly after their name - but i cannot remember

there is also a byte before the team name... eg. XARSENAL
where X= a byte value 00, 01, or 02 - 01 represents a cpu team, 02 is a human team. some fun (and corruption) can be had switching a second team over to being human in the career mode!

oh, and i seem to rememebr your teams players / stats occuring twice in the memory / file - although i am 99% sure you only need to edit one of them.



i am sure the ACtion Replay III rom can easily be found for use with winuae. it does make things -much- easier

Is this the two players career trick?
See forum.sensiblesoccer.info/index.php?topic=3562

There is a Amiga SWOS Career editor.
I still have it (somewhere) on my harddisk in my Amiga computer.
But this editor is only working with SWOS 94/95 and SWOS 95/96.... so NOT with SWOS 96/97 :-[

I can look for more information or upload it if anyone wants it... 

yes..that is very strange...


From tonight till sunday afternoon I m away....
I will look for it sunday evening.
Stay tuned!
