So, no comments?
It's maybe one of most original tools and YOU don't make any comment?

Just tried. Excellent tool. It works fine for the league and for the 2nd team but I was not able to use the UCL calendar because I always get a "Subscript out of range" error.
Users should also be aware that this tool resets the career they are going to update.
The right way to use it is to start a new career, save it, and, just before to start to play, update the calendars.

Tutorial, we don't need no stinking tutorial!!

;)

Two questions if I may (it is only data, after all, didn't take long to figure most of it out).

Do the team names have to tie up with one of the strings in game, and if so which one (I'm guessing at the one held in FIFA.DB rather than one of the language database entries, which certainly seemed to work for League Two).

I'm guessing that the hex value on the first line represents the date of the first fixture, but how, and does it encode anything else??

Assuming that I'm right about that first line, and that it only holds the date, then I've got accurate 2007/2008 fixture lists for you for the three Coca Cola Leagues in England (because all four English leagues started on the same day). I've only tested League Two thus far though

I'll ask to Krystian when this error occurs, but maybe it's because you have done too much matches and the program can't add the champions at the date you want. Try to set first real dates, then save and close. Reopen the tool and now set UCL. Maybe this works ;)
Another possibility could be that in your db there is no champions no more or hasn't anymore id 223 ;)
I agree with you about the warning and I will put a note in the homepage of the program ;)

Yes Steve, users need a tutorial because they are not genius like you :D
However the name of teams in the "fef" file doesn't matter. You can set the name you want. The program look for the id not the name ;)
Yes the first hex value is the date of the first fixture. The easiest way I can explain how to understand which value has to be set is this:
1) take the hex value of a known calendar.
2) Convert the hex value in int value (simply by using Windows calculator)
3) Add (if your date is after that date) or subtract (if your date is before that date) from the int value the number of days multiplied by 1024.
4) Convert the int value in hex value. That's it
Clear? If not, I'll make an example ;)

Thank you very much Rinaldo and Steve ;)

That's a shame, I could have saved myself a bit of effort spent checking the team names against those in FIFA.DB

So it is the FIFA base date of the first game multiplied by 1024. That's easy enough :)

Already on their way as I type this

BTW I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but it appears that if the existing fixture data includes entries for four pre-season games then four new dummy entries get added to the start of the fixture data (which appear to be all binary zeroes). This doesn't seem to bother the game itself, but bugs the heck out of my F2K8DUMP program!! I need to do a little more digging to find out exactly what triggers this, but unless there is a good reason for those dummy entries being there I'd like to see them gotten rid of.

For some reason this tool is not working for me. Every time I open the program, it gives me 'no saves files, program will be closed!'. Anyone else experience this or is it just me.
