Hello!
Is it possible to edit the standings in an ongoing race? Makes me really frustrated when you are able to get a 30 sec gap on some of the GC contenders, but everyone gets the same time anyway.
Yes, it is possible. Rather than explaining this myself, I'll just copy this from a guide where the 'concept' is explained:
8. Open the table 'DYN_classification_race'. At the same time, it is a good idea to open the Excel version of the Man Game database.
9. The columns are explained below:
Idclassification_race
Can be ignored
fkIDrace
Can be ignored
fkIDcyclist
The Cyclist's ID. Each cyclist will have at least 3 rows, 4 if they are a young rider.
fkIDteam
Only relevant for teams classification. Can be ignored.
fkIDclassification
1' is the GC, '2' is the KoM, '3' is the Points, '4' is the Young rider.
gene_i_value
For KoM or Points, the value here is the points tally each rider has.
For the GCs, it uses an 8, 9, or 10 digit value for seconds raced - depending how far into the race you are.
gene_i_rank
The rank of the rider in each respective competition.
fkIDclassification_state
Can be ignored
10. Whether you are adding time bonuses that were not given, or removing bonuses from time trials when they should not have been given, first you need to make a list of the cyclist IDs of the relevant riders. Then click on the fkIDcyclist column to sort it in numerical order, and find your riders.
11. Now you need to change their gene_i_value. It is displayed in some form of numerical method of showing seconds, so it could be 8, 9 or 10 digits depending on how much the rider has raced in this particular race.
The last 3 digits are always going to be 0, and it is the digits immediately before it that needs changing.
12. So if a rider has a gene_i_value of '60189000' and needs to be awarded 20 bonus seconds for a victory then it is the '89' that we need to change. Change the 89 to a 69, and you have given him a 20 second time bonus. However if you need to take 20 away, then you need to add on 20. This time you need to look at '189', which changes to '209'.
I don't have it installed currently, but as far as I remember there's a File -> Open CDB option. Your save-game is located in My Documents/Pro Cycling Manager/Users/Your Username/Database/Solo/Name of your Database.
