Hi, I'm sorry for being away, my daughter was born july 12th and since than I haven't opened pro cycling manager anymore  (When I'm going back to work, some free time will come around during my lunch breaks  )
In attachment you can find a new exe (overwrite the old one in the pcm career explorer folder). It's a first version of the screenshot I've shown you in the other topic.
There's a lot on the todo list left (configure per cyclist the max days you want them to have, re-plan automatically when a cyclist is injured for some time, ...) but it's a good start and saves you a lot of work already.
Thanks for your work, I really appreciate your explorer.
Congratulation to your daughter |

fyi information from the other thread about the new feature:
I've created an automatic planner - aimed at pro tour teams -in my pcm career explorer. It takes the objectives of your leaders set in the game, you can add global goals in the tool for each rider you want (Flanders, Ardennes, Giro, Vuelta, tour, Sanremo, ...)
Next it plans my cyclists, my best 7 riders get 80 racedays, the other ones 105. it loops over the races in popularity order, and each type of race requires x number of good cyclists, and x number of helpers (depending on how important the race is). It also avoids that if you have 2 star sprinters or 2 star stage racers that they ride the same races (unless you tell them to). It also looks at the current profile chosen, so a sprinter will look if Switzerland or Dauphiné suits them most...
It also has some preconfigured preparation races (if you ride sanremo, you'll most probably ride nice or tirreno as well, ...)
so I can now plan the entire season in 5, maybe max 10 minutes, it might not be in-depth and detailed enough for most of you, but it does the trick for me (since I always play with protour teams anyway)
This is only the race planning, it does nothing with fitness, I don't touch it, I let the game decide it based on the objectives chosen in game, I don't want an advantage on the AI by microplanning the fitness

First of all, congratulations on becoming a dad!
I keep on receiving an error message when trying to load my savegame. The tool gives the following feedback:

What can I do to fix this?
edit: fixed it by downloading the version in the first post...

For those still searching, you can find it under "Modifiers -> Team" if I remember correctly |

New version in attachment
* General Fixes
* Added extra information about variant stages, most of the variant stages out there should now have race information in the tool
* support for single day TTT (like world championship TTT). Results, history, record holders are shown with the team names instead of individual cyclists
* History page of cyclist now contains all years, even before savegame
* History page of cyclist contains the name of the team at that time, and not the current name
* History page of the cyclist now shows for each year their best result in that year
* 2 new modifiers to support world championship TTT. Popular custom database have this race added, but even though they give it a high popularity, the AI teams start with very poor lineup. There is a modifier called "Activate good cyclists" that will update the AI team's lineup for the world champ TTT so they start their best available (not racing elsewhere and not sick) time trial cyclists.
the second modifier is called "Update cyclists with team rank", you need to run this after the TTT. This gives all cyclists of the winning team the victory (and not just the one that crossed the finish first), gives the cyclists of the second team rank number 2 (and not 7, 8, 9, ...) and so on

in the meanwhile the tool is updated with a lot of user interface improvements, a lot of fixes, a lot of new screens and a couple of brand new features (auto schedule cyclists of your team, reschedule race planning for all teams to have realistic number of racing days for world tour/PCT and continental, Automated actions for those who use pcmce a lot)
I'm not planning on updating my version here everytime (since only https links work it's a hassle anyway).

First of all thank you for building this awesome tool.
I've been using it for a while and I'm really enjoying it. Has been working fine for everything I've been doing until today. I finished the first season of a career, continental team, PCMWorld 2019 DB. Either just before or just after the game switched to the next season (25 october?) something happened and when I tried opening the cdb with the Explorer it told me this (in spoiler). I hope somone knows a solution, doesn't seem too serious but I'm not technically gifted enough to solve it.

Does the planner "connect" With the game? So when yor press plan, it does it in game as well? |

Not that I've used the planner, but I believe the answer is: All the information is stored in the savegame. And PCMCE is able to not just access but overwrite information in the save game, like other editors. So PCM needs to be closed, you can't make changes in real time. You exit PCM, then use PCMCE and edit the savegame, then restart PCM and load the edited save.

Sorry thought you where asking about PCM Explorer - I haven't used the planner.
Best way to figure it out will be to try it.

I use the planner function, but I've found its important to set up the teammates feature beforehand, so that they also ride with the correct leaders. So first do that in PCM, then close the game and open the save in PCMCE and set the objectives and generate the planner, and then save, overwriting your save file. Then open it up in PCM again. I find that it still needs a bit of editing the schedules once you've opened the game up again, but its very handy for filling in large parts of the season for lesser riders, and still being able to accurately determine tiredness and so on.
