I wish to play with a custom Colombian team. However, there is no Colombian team available from the custom teams list in my database (RSM/PCMdaily 2019DB Update 3). Is there a way of adding a new custom team with a Colombian nationality and sponsor or perhaps I can edit one of the teams which are already selectable?
I tried searching for help, but can't find a thread on my topic. Hope this is the right place for this thread. Thanks for all help in advance!
The easiest way is to open the DB or even the save file with an editor and changing sponsor nationality.
I use the excel editor. There you open the DYN_sponsor table, find the sponsor you want to edit and change the value in the column fkIDregion from X to 1101.
Adding a new sponsor is doable, but a little more tricky.
First, you must copy the jersey and minijersey for the team you want. I suggest downloading an old PCM database, and fin one you like. There will NC jerseys and equipment as well.
Put the jersey and equipment folder into your PCM18 folder>3D>Cyclist>Cloth>Team. Remember the name of the folder.
Then copy the minijersey into GUI>team_shirt folder in your main PCM folder.
-Open the DYN_sponsor in an editor (again, I suggest the excel editor)
-IN IDsponsor, put a number not already in use
-In gene_sz_name put the name of your team
-In jersey_sz_abbrevation put the name of the folder containing your equipment
-In abbrevation put the three letter abbrevation for your team
-In fkIDregion put 1101
-In fkIDfame put the fame of the sponsor. Value is between 1-4 with 1 being unknown and 4 is a big sponsor.
-In gene_i_contract_end put 0
-In value_i_budget put 0 (you can edit this number in the save game file, when you have created the save)
-In value_i_budget_min and _max you put the minimum and maximum total amount your sponsor is willing to pay. If you want a long term save with the same sponsor, put 1200000 in the _max column
-In the value_i_year_max put a year in the future. This is the maximum year that your sponsor will be able to be extended
-In gene_sz_color put the color code of your team. Use https://html-colo... for finding the code
-In value_f_ridertype_importance, I am not sure what to put. I don't think it matters for a human team though
I think that should be it. I forgot one step though.
After you have done all that, open the table DYN_sponsor_regions
Here you can add/edit which regions are important to your team.
If you edit an already existing sponsor. find the column fkIDsponsor, and find all rows containing the the number of the sponsor you are editing.
If you are adding a brand new sponsor, start by going to the column IDsponsor_regions and add a new on with an available number.
You can have up to three important regions.
For both methods, follow these steps:
-In fkIDsponsor put the number of you sponsor found in the column IDsponsor in the table DYN_sponsor
-In fkIDregion put the number of the important region (1101 is Columbia)
-In value_i_importance put between 1 and 3. 3 means, that it is very important for the sponsor, that you have a certain amount of riders from this region
-In value_i_wanted_squad you specify how big a percentage of riders must come from the important region
Other regions that might be interesting for a Colombian team
8 - Spain
45 - Venezuela
IMPORTANT: I use the v2 of the DB. There is a chance that numbers have changed for the v3. If so, try putting 11 instead of 1101
