As it happens, yes I have, and TorontoLynx it is just over 2MB as a CSV file. However I am unsure as to what the legal position of such information would be (is it copyright EA, do I get into trouble for reverse engineering the data formats) and therefore I've not made it generally available.Hambo said:Can you get all the player stats into a spreadsheet or has anyone done one!
Okey dokey. Assuming that the email address in your profile is correct you can expect to find a ZIP file in your inbox sometime later this evening (UK time) or possibly tomorrow morning if it takes me longer than expected to churn out enough documentation to get you started.Hambo said:anyway , as i say id like to give it a go and am not bothered about support, i just want an easy way of browsing the player db!!
Two obvious problems spring to mind. Firstly you still need a utility to perform the extract, and secondly you are stuck if you don't have anything that handles .MDB files. My utility produces CSV files, which can be read by almost any spreadsheet or database program.skip2mylou said:look in ur fifa.db file in data/cnf ... if u convert it to a microsoft access file u can fiew a roster of all players.... all 10,099 of them
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you got what you were looking for from it. How did you get on with the documentation?? Did you just use the tool to generate the CSV file or did you take a look at the HTML reports too?? Any comments on the content??Hambo said:Works a treat Steve, well done!
Those character issues shouldn't have stopped it producing a usable set of output files (just that it couldn't 'anglicise' all of the names). Where can I get a copy of this hack to test it out (or would you be willing to run again with the hack in place and send me the console output along with the FIFA.D??Hambo said:Had a bit of trouble at first, im using the career hack and i got loads of 'unrecognised character' errors
I can churn out the words when the muse is with me, but I did wonder whether I'd gone OTT with that lot. Still haven't finished the usage guide, but perhaps the thought that this might be useful to others will inspire me further.Hambo said:The documentation was really good. Really in depth, a lot more than i was expecting
No worries, if you remember then I'll be grateful, but I think getting hold of the FIFA.DB is probably more useful to me (since that way I'll be able to see what the offending characters look like in the game screens)Hambo said:i did snapshot the error messages but i forget to bring them to work with me.
Yes please. I dug through the thread that you indicated, but the only links to files I can find have all expired. If I get a chance I'll go and dig through the SoccerGaming downloads area, but I need to do some work at some point todayHambo said:i will send you my fifa.db if you still want me to.
Not until I started writing the Getting Started guide so that you could use what I'd already done!! I am an old dinosaur (when I started out in computing we used punched cards and paper tape) who uses the command line (albeit a seriously enhanced version of the nonsense that MS distributes with their OSes - JP Software's 4NT and Take Command) for a majority of what he does at the computer (when not playing games, obviously).Hambo said:Have you considered a gui front end to this utility!
The main reason that I haven't done anything along those lines is that I load the output CSV file into an Excel spreadsheet and use Excel's AutoFilter feature to select records based on a variety of criteria (I don't use the game's skill levels because I don't agree with the algorithms it uses to calculate them). It would get really messy trying to allow a whole raft of selection criteria to be supplied via command line options, but something similar is on my potential features list for a GUI front-end.Hambo said:it would be cool if you could add some filters to the command line like just show me midfielders above skill x etc and use it as a search tool!!
Picked it up this morning (Saturday) as I haven't had a chance to check my Hotmail in the past thirty-six hours or so.Hambo said:hi Steve,
Did you get my fifa db. i know what hotmail can be like with large files!!
I think I made my reasons for not providing the information directly pretty clear earlier in the thread, but you might like to know that I'm putting the finishing touches to a GUI front-end to the utility mentioned above, and tried out by Hambo, so you'll be able to generate the player attribute spreadsheet, and a load more besides, for yourself.NGAFOOTBALLKING said:Could someone just email the list to me plz
Sorry old son, my work is not going to be of any use to youNGAFOOTBALLKING said:well ive got a ps2
