I'm looking at starting a new team in PCM 07 using the PCM-Spain DB.
What I want to do is start with a continental team and sign free agents to make up my entire squad... to literally start from scratch. I'm just wondering if I'll run into any problems if I go into the editor and move everyone off the team I choose from there.
Will it blow up if you have nobody on your team when you start a career?
I want to do this because it seems the AI will assign roles based on what's currently on your team (so if your top guy is a 64 average, it will make him an absolute leader even though he'd be a teammate on your team after you've aquired free agents) |

I don't think it will "hurt" anything if you start a career with a team without riders. After all, you could try. If it works, good, if it doesn't, bad  |

starting with a team with no riders doesn't affect anything
i started a test career to check out what the team looked like, and they didn't have any riders

Great!
I'll just hop into the editor and clean out a bottom rung continental team and get started after work. It will be interesting to see what riders will be willing to sign in that first 10 days. I'm not sure how the program decides that. I could have a really crappy squad the first couple of years.  |

Well I hopped into the editor and noticed an option to "create team"... so I did that and started a career with no riders.
It worked fine, and I seemed to be able to sign pretty much anyone I wanted. I have a pretty solid team, but I'm having problems getting invites to races (similar to what smoothie is having in his virgin mobile career).
Really the all-free agent team I put together is probably better than any continental team. |

If you want, you can change the races you are subscribed / invited to with an editor. |

Well, I don't think I'll do that to races I get rejected from... but I might do it for races in March since I can't move the calendar to those days without it crashing. Otherwise I won't have anything the entire month of March... and I have a couple of goal races in April. |

Is it possible to start a new team from scratch and take some riders who are already on other teams? |

If you can use Hannes Converter, so yes if you want, I can make a team for you
Just say how the jersey should be, and what riders you want

Or you could be a complete screw ball, and take over Bouygues and muck it around
 Sack a tonne of your riders, re-hire the ones you want on a lot less pay, and not as leaders, and hire the free agents you want B)
So i hired Ortega as lone leader, and re-hired my previous leaders as lesser roles, which they were happy enough about.
Then i fiddled the DYN_teams sheet so that it worked out that i hadn't paid any money to hire people or anything like that simple.

i tried to use Kicker for the first time. I followed the instructions for the download but I can't seem to get the download to work for the TABCTL32.OCX file. It says file "contains invalid data". This is the Library.exe file that I downloaded to get the TABCTL32.OCX file.
I am trying to use the Kicker so that I can sign up for some events in March without having a CTD. |

I also tried using the Hannes Converter. I followed the instructions but when I look under the column for the IDrace, the race numbers that I am looking for (2,24,39, etc.) are skipped over or not listed. So I can't change my race subscription if the race isn't even listed.
Ugh! so frustrating.
Edit: I have spent all day trying to get either Kicker working or the Hannes Converter. I have read the articles on this site and have followed them but I can seem to edit my save game. If anyone can help, I will be most grateful.:cry:

I was following the article that describes changing race subscriptions in the articles section.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I amd using PCM-Spain db as a launching point and Have created a new Philips Racing team |

Sorry to hear that Macquet. If I figure my problem out I will lend a hand. I am hoping to add a few races in March since it always CTD when I access the March calendar. I was hoping to permanently unregister from races that my team cancels every year. |

If you have Windows Vista, kicker don't works. I use Hannes Converter 2.0. that works fine for me.

if you attach your save games here, and which races you want to enter or what you want changed, i can have a look for you and see if i can change anything for you. Not promising much as i aint an addy
