I hope there are still some people around here...
I'm in the 3rd year of my career with a custom team, using a DB I've edited heavily rider stats team names etc.
However I'm still stuck with the same routes for stage races.
So my question is, is it possible to download some variants and add play them in my existing career? Any guidance most welcome.
it has variants for the Worlds (12), Down Under (2), Helvetie (4), Tirreno (6), Portugal (3), Giro (7) Paris-Nice (4), Osterreich Rundfahrt (2), Vuelta (7), Romandie (2), Pais Vasco (2), TdF (9) and the Dauphine Libre (2)
so I recommed downloading that one
If you still need to do this Luigi, this post from roturn explains very well. Worked for me
Extract the PCM Daily somewhere on your harddisk.
1. Copy CM_Stages of PCM Daily (all stages and the variant folder) into CM_Stages of your Max DB game folder
2. Start a new career to have a savegame with the new DYN_Variant_stage including the new variant
3. Use the full editor v4 and import the new save game and copy the whole table DYN_Variant_Stage (You don`t need the new career any longer, can be deleted)
4. Open your save game with the full editor v4 and paste this whole table into the one of your save game
5. You have to overwrite some parts. (All existing variants in your save will be overwritten plus the new variant is there)
6. Then save, export a new db and continue this as your save game. Nothing changed but the variant is now there as you have written in your rules
You have lots of stages in the CM_Stages you don`t use then, but it won`t have any negative effect. An alternative is to open all descr. files and check what stages you just need, but this takes more time and you might miss some, what will causes crashes.
