Eternal DB v.2.0

Several bugs, and many other things pi...ed me off and I can’t let this come back to me that i made such a crappy and buggy release before. So I locked myself in for 10 days, recruited 4 guys to test simulate the hell out of it, overworked my graphics to make it possible to release this to you for all your gaming pleasures. It’s all working fine now and has 100 more races than the biggest dbs for pcm 2007 atm.

- Possibility (small one) that one of your riders might get caught doping too
- Trainer speciality visible before hiring

- Astana removed from several races after TDF (not in career mode though)
- Tripled the amount of race variations in comnpare to previous eternal db throughout your career, nearly any tour has a variation, most of them more than one (Fe. TDF has 11, giro 10, vuelta 9, dauphine 6, …)
- Cyanides Vuelta and Giro d’Italia bug fixed (there are more faults than just stage 4 of the giro variant 4 which will be also fixed with the new patch from cyanide if you don’t want me to do it)

- Doped riders from the season 2005, 2006 will be available to hire after their suspension (Herras, Basso, Jaksche, …) you will find doped players when u search for them in the world list. You need to watch the ending of their contracts though so you can hire them in time. Herras is available after season 2007 basso after 2008.
- Team of suspended riders can no longer be selected by the player and they will not appear in any race throughout your game (doesn’t matter if career or just races)
- Incl. manager photos for all pro tour teams

- Realistic invitation field for abu dhabi (3 tour winner teams, the two teams of the wc, plus 4 wildcards for teams with good performance in this season )
- Corrected the origin for the rabobank cont team from germany to spain
- Possibility to edit what u want with hannes converter and kicker except these tables: sta_race, sta_stage.
- Many more features n stuff which I forgot now.
- Working startlists for over 100 races


DOWNSIDES:
Totally not possible to find logos for 13 small “exotic” teams from Indonesia, Venezuela, cuba, Colombia, but all other teams contain their logos now (123 teams with logos). Buying the new equipment is still tricky (not the selection later for races itself). So just like before, click on treck than on pino and do this again till you can buy pinarello frames. The same for BMC frame. Click on Trek then on BMC till you can buy it. I repeat this only occurs when u buy equipment which is at the bottom of the list. The whole DB as well as its structure has been overworked by me. This means that I don’t say this time that u can continue your career. Maybe you can maybe you need to start a new career.

Installation:
Download the rar files. Use Winrar to extract the files (winrar will do that itself just unzip one of the files) into C:\Program Files\Cyanide\Pro Cycling Manager 2007.

Usuage of startlists:
Extract the startlist to MyData/Pro Cycling Manager 2007\Export\StartLists. That’s it next time you play in single player mode the game will tell you it found a startlist and ask you if you want to use it. Startlists don’t work in career mode though.

How to remove a doped rider after the message in game showed up that he was caught doping
Make a backup of your save game somewhere. Download the Hannes converter 2007. Click on the button on the top left of the program. Now go to mydocuments\pcm 2007\database\Single\officialrelease\yourgamenumber.cdb. Choose to open dyn_cyclist and dyn_contract_cyclist. Open both tables and now sort in dyn_cyclist the players by their last name and search the player who has been caught doping. You will see a column called team_id. Change that id to 225. And look at the number in the first column of the player and remember that (it’s the player_id) Now open the table contract cyclist. Sort the table by player_ id (the second column). Go to the number of your player. Change the team_id there also to 225. Then changer the column of the end date of the contract (gene_i_date_end). Depending on the time you want the player out of the game paste one of this number codes here:
2008 = 1224072000
2009 = 1255608000
2010 = 1287144000
After that hit save on both table windows. Then click on the button next to the one with that you opened the database. Choose save here and save over your current save game. When asked what tables to save highlight both tables you edited. Then click save. That’s all. You can do this either before you start a career and remove all players (then u need to edit the officialrelease.cdb in your program files pcm 2007 folder) or after the message has poped up that he was caught.
