Hello everyone.. This will be my first post.
Ive been a big fan of the pcm series for a few years now and a huge fan of cycling in general. I've been playing pcm 2008 a lot recently and have done very well with BMC racing as I enter my third season.
I finished my second season as the best team in the Pro tour with many wins in various races including the grand tours. The problem i have now is that the new goals set for me by the sponsor are very unrealistic.
-win tour of france
-win vuelta
-win Paris roubaix
-win tirreno adriatico
-win points classification in the vuelta
I haven't won any of the grand tours previously and my best result was a distant third in both the tour and vuelta. How can the sponsors expect me to win both grand tours when my salary budget is not much improved over the previous season?
Is there any way to edit the goals with an editor so that they are slightly more reasonable?
Thanks for any ideas...

Though, that guide was made to change the sponsor goals of a DB, not of a savegame.
To make it savegame compatible, basically you need to open the DYN_objectif table too, and put into that the correct numbers to replace the old sponsor goals with the new. Its fairly obvious when you open all the tables up. |

Hey thanks for the info...
I'm still having trouble.
I understand everything up until the part where I have to make it savegame compatible. Do I open DYN_objectif_cym6? And where do i replace the numbers with the new codes? All the colums(4) are blank in that table.
I'm sorry if the solution is obvious.. I'm new to this editor.
thanks again |

in DYN_objectif_cym6 you see in the 2nd column your team's goals. these correspond with the objective number in Sta_Objectif.
maybe you understand now? if not, tell me what goals you want and I'll change them |

This is where i'm getting stuck..
when i open DYN_objectif_cym6 in that save game.. all the columns are blank. So there are no current sponsor goals to replace with new ones(there are only four colums btw).
If i try entering the new codes into the blank 2nd column i get an error when i try to save that table.
BTW i'm using Hannes converter 2
The new sponsor goals i want are 123,152,111,1340,185
EDIT: I'm not sure what happened but now i do have original sponsor codes appearing in the table.. now i see where i can enter the codes.
I should be ok.. i'll try it later on tonight.
thank you for your time!

Can I suggest that you edit your save game with Hannes Editor 1.2? It's very easy to use. Download it and extract it to your computer - somewhere, anywhere. Open the program. Unfortunately, it's only in German, but:
1. In the first screen after the installation, it will prompt you to tell it (the program) where your PCM folder is located (often Program Files/Cyanide/Pro Cycling Manager).
2. After that, it will ask you which DB to edit (your save game, located in My Documents/Pro Cycling Manager/Database/Solo/)
3. The editor will open up. Find your team and double click it.
4. Your team window will open up, and in the right part of it, you can easily add and delete sponsor goals and important races. |

if you loaded your save correctly there should be numbers in the 2nd column.
anyway, I hope you got it now, if not let me know again. I'll get you the new save tomorrow then with new goals |

Anyway, I suppose you're tired of us explaining you what to do, so I had a quick look and changed your goals to what you wanted. New .cdb is attached to this post

Thanks for all the help guys!
Yea i had figured it out.. i wasnt loading the db correctly.
Somewhere along the line i was clicking on the wrong file.
All is good now.. I changed the sponsor goals and important races to something more realistic. Even though i had 50+ wins in the previous season there was no way i was going to win both the tour and vuelta in both gc and points classification. Not to mention Paris Roubaix considering i dont even have a top cobbles rider on the team.
thanks again everyone..
