Problem with nations.
jeanbouib
Hey.
Sorry for my bad English.

I have a small problem I'm unable to resolve.
I want to know how i can include new nations ?

I'm on a DB I refresh myself, but I would like to create new nations to include new nationalities on my database.

I manage to make new nationalities appear in the game, but I clearly don't know how to assign a flag and a name to the nationality in the game (So they are in the game, but without a name and with a pink square flag).

I hope I was clear enough.

Thank you and have a good day.

Did you edit the local.cdb also?

Consider using the forum search, this has been asked and answered often already.

Lachi is right, this has been covered many many times before.

I wrote a 'guide' on how to do it for PCM2011/PCM2012 and it should work for PCM2013. It is attached in the spoiler: Wink

Spoiler

Here it goes.

Before you start make sure you have the following programs:

---- Excel Editor
-- PCM Fast Editor


1) Start by opening up the Excel Editor (Exporter) make sure you are able to 'enable content' by turning of virus prevention software if necessary.

2) Click on the Extract CDB button at the top of the spread sheet. Then navigate to the LOCAL CDB and open it (stored precisely in My Docs/ PCM2011/12).

3)Highlight all xml files which should appear (around about 22) then click open, there now should be a range of tabs along the bottom.

4) Scroll across the tabs until you reach 'STA_Localised_String'. Add a new 'ID' in the A column by filling in the cell underneath the bottom field with a number which hasn't been taken (make a note of this number for future reference) an example no. being 10031.

You can see other countries in this format if you scroll around so basically copy there format, using Wales as an example fill in all the necessary columns in the tab with 'Wales'

5) Then scroll to STA_TGA add a new ID in the A column again and make note of the number for future reference, an example being no.8898.

In the B column type in 'wales.tga', in the constant type in the three letter abbreviation for Wales ie. WLS. Then in the D column type in gui/country/flags.

6) Then go back to the first sheet or tab of the excel document and click on the Build Database tab, here you should save the database as exactly what it was named before 'Local'.

If you do not have permission to overwrite, save to Desktop and manually replace the Local CDB. The files should be very similar in size.

7) Open up an image software device such as paint, GIMP etc and open up a flag from the game found in. MY COM/ Programme Files 864/ Cyanide/PCM/ Gui/ Country Flags.

Delete the image of a country's flag paste a image of Wales (32*32 should be right) and save to desktop as 'wales.tga' then manually place the image in the Gui/country flags file location.

8) Now using a fast editor open up the save you are currently using.
Scroll to STA_country and set up a new field.
----Type in WLS for Wales as the CONSTANT
--- in gene_tgaID 'Flag' type in what you typed in STA_TGA (8898)
--- in gene_strl type in what you typed in STA_localised string (10031)
-- in skin colour leave blank but for Welsh type riders copy the same as the GB field I guess, put 1 in gene_calender or a different number if you know better.

9) Now Scroll to a different tab STA_region (so you can scout riders)

It is best here to overwrite a small nation like Curacao which isn't being used.

Type in the Constant WLS then 10031 for the localised string. As Wales is in Europe tick the in gene_Europe option then type 1 in the weight column. In the Gene_x and Gene_y options put a very similar coordinates to GC but very slightly down.

For the rest of the fields, unless you know better, fill them in the same as another country such as Hong Kong, GB.

Save the database in the same place.

10) Now go to My COM/ Programme files/ Cynade/ PCM2011/12

and open the regen.xml file using the standard 'notepad' software what comes with most computers. This is so we can generate Welsh names for the riders. For PCM2011 it is found in the Gameplay folder under YoungriderCarracterstics.

If you scroll from top to bottom you will notice each country or region has two different sections, one for first names and one for surnames. You should just copy a countries first name list but don't overwrite, substitute the 2 abbreviations for WLS and fill in the names manually with Welsh first names, do the same for surnames.

Save the file in the same place under the same name. If done correctly you should be able to scout Welsh riders the same with any other country.
