I fear my career is ruined.

I got this sponsor Exxon Mobile which I signed in the start of the year. Now on 25th of October it has changed, but it gives me 0 money and it has no goals.

I have autosave so I can go back in time.

But I don't want to go too far back. Is there a way to edit the sponsor off and then pick another?

Please help. It's one of the best careers I've had

You can edit a budget to your sponsor and add sponsor goals.
The sponsor is in the table DYN_sponsor, the goals in DYN_objectifs

If you do not want to edit the sponsor goals manually you have to fix your future sponsor before October. But I cannot help you with that because this is a new feature of PCM2011 and nobody seems to know how it really works. (But the columns would be in DYN_team, value_i_sponsor_future and value_i_sponsor_future2)

Thx for the help.

I think I will edit them manually.

It's only a 2 year sponsorship. So it won't be much trouble. I assume the next sponsers won't be like this? Is it a general game bug or a bug just with this certain sponsor?

I am not very familiar with editing, so I think I should stay away from the future sponsor part if more experienced editors can't figure it out yet

I worked out the money problem.

Now in DYN_objectifs I need help.

I am one big "?"

This is the screen? What to do to create goals?

On this screen you have to select the races you want to be targets for your team. To do this you have to look at two things:

1. Table sta_races. Here you'll see all races of the year and the ID of each. This ID is what you have to put on the table "objective."

2. Sta_objetive_type table (or something similar). Here is the code explains what each objective. For example, if you want a career goal is to win you have to put the code 1, if you have to put a top10 Code 4, if you have to stage victory put the 9 ... and so on.

I hope to serve you, any questions you know

Thank you very much

I guess it's a bit fishy to create your own goals.

But it's the only way to continue the career. It's better than no goals

You can play without goals, it would not affect your career. Just take a piece of paper and make your own goals and try to follow them through the season.

Sponsor happiness doesn't affect anything?

Not even the chance of getting a better sponsor in the future?

Or maybe the results decides this.

Then I won't waste my time adding superficial stuff to my career.

No, it just does not affect anything. Why should the happiness of your actual sponsor affect future sponsors anyway.

One minor question.

In the 3rd season the Tour de France is the stage variant as the prior season.

There are 6 variants in all. I don't know how this happened. But can I rename a file or something to get another variant?

I don't understand your problem.

Basically the variants will be read in at the start of the career, so you need to edit the table STA_stage if you are in the 3rd season or the variants table (but I forgot its name).

If I could spel -l I would have wrote that the TDF variant in my 3rd season is identic to the one I just rode in the 2nd season.

That's the issue.

But I'll look into the editor.

Are in already in the race or only at the begining of the season? The new stages will not be visible at the beginning of the season.

It's a bug in the PCM.daily DB. You'll have to change the stages manually in STA_stage if you wish to have a different route.
