Expansion Pack being uploaded - here's the feature list
News

As mentioned yesterday, the PCM.daily Expansion Pack is set to be released today. Since I've recently moved, my internet connection has gone from top of the class to quite sucky, but luckily, there's a few people helping getting the database uploaded.

If any of you have experience with creating a torrent, seeding it and have a good upload speed (above 10 mbit), please send me a PM.

While the rest of you are waiting, you can check out the feature list below.

Keep in mind that this is an early release. It's basically a slightly altered version of the 2012 DB for PCM12, and we plan on adapting and adding new features (e.g. teams and races) for the next release.

We should also mention that we did notice quite a few career bugs (in the game, not in the DB) while testing. Hopefully, these will be fixed by Cyanide in the next patch. For example, the rider panel is messed up in the World ITT Championship, and the calendar/scheduler doesn't work in the 2nd season.

Teams and riders
- 83 teams
- 3177 riders
- 1672 free agents
- Photos for 95% of the riders - many of these are 2012 photos
- 2011 Champions
- PCM.daily stats - completely revised stats (compared to the Cyanide DB). Note: Not yet fully optimized for PCM12
- 104 track riders with realistic stats

Races/Stages

- 16 new races, including several new national championships
- Lots of new stages with real profiles/terrain
- Changing routes for the major races:
- 4 new Tour de France routes
- 4 new Giro d'Italia routes
- 1 new Vuelta a Espana route
- 6 new routes for the other WT races
- 1 new route for the World RR Championship

Equipment

- 153 selectable frames
- 111 selectable wheels
- 188 selectable helmets
- Possibility to easily add custom equipment

Graphics
- Lots of new shirts and accessories, and some new race leader shirts
- New race category icons
- New country flags
- "Cyanide News" replaced with "L'Equipe"

Other features
- More realistic names for generated young riders
- A few more scouting zones and more realism in terms of which countries that produce the best riders
- Realistic staff names (and more staff in general)
- More than 100 real journalists
- The Cya Top Tour renamed to UCI World Tour
- The Superprestige Ranking renamed to CQ Ranking
- Cyanide Trophy has been renamed to Velo d'Or
- 266 real-name sponsors with correct shirts, logos and mini-shirts

Looking forward to it guys!
#6 | cakefaker on 16. July 2012 19:59
That's great. Really nice work, guys. Banana

What does it mean that "the calendar/scheduler doesn't work"? Is it still possible to apply for races? I don't care much about Cyanide's season planner - but it is somewhat important to be able to register for races.
#7 | Wizpirio on 16. July 2012 20:01
Just out of curiousity, how long does it take to upload a expansion pack of this size?
#8 | chraanz on 16. July 2012 20:02
Awesome. Will seed for the next days if there's a torrent created..
#9 | ArenA25 on 16. July 2012 20:03
i hope not only on torrents but also on rapidshare
#10 | Kira900 on 16. July 2012 20:06
Looking forward to download this. Good Job Smile
#11 | KongeMeier on 16. July 2012 20:07
Absolutely amazing!!
#12 | lluuiiggii on 16. July 2012 20:09
#6: yes, it was possible to apply for races, but the layout was messed up - basically in the tabs with dates (like 01/01 - 31/05), there appeared no races below them, but everytime you hit the schedule page you'd get a tab without dates and containing all races of the season. I can post a screen if you want.
#13 | Tubbe_Tubbe on 16. July 2012 20:13
#12 I would like to see it.
#14 | McI on 16. July 2012 20:14
#12 I would like to see a screenshot if is possiable
#15 | cakefaker on 16. July 2012 20:15
Thanks a lot for the answer. Good that you can apply for races. I'd like to see a screen of the layout glitch.
#16 | Beus on 16. July 2012 20:16
Is it possible to start a career and keep playing it, when updates for the exp pack is released?

I dont want to start all over. ...
#17 | lluuiiggii on 16. July 2012 20:20
2 screens exemplifying the problem:

#16: all edits were made with the Full Editor. After starting the career, I only edited it once, also through the Full Ed., to add some money otherwise the team would go bankrupt Pfft
#18 | PCMJames on 16. July 2012 20:20
@Beus I dont think so
#19 | cakefaker on 16. July 2012 20:22
#18 I can live with that. As long as it is still possible to apply and register for races, of course.
#20 | MadsFCN on 16. July 2012 20:31
what about "The classic fail" ? I mean, when you make a team named for example: Team Faxe Kondi. Then your teamname is TEAM FAXE KONDI....why?
#21 | Lachi on 16. July 2012 20:49
#20: This has nothing to do with a DB. This is a problem of the game itself and you should notify Cyanide about this problem if you want to have it fixed.
#22 | edudiar on 16. July 2012 20:55
So anyone knows when would the next Cyanide patch be released, so it hopefully fixes the calendar issue?
#23 | Lachi on 16. July 2012 21:01
#24: Next patch is planned but it is not clear what will be fixed: https://www.cyanid...55#p528255
#24 | sultanen on 16. July 2012 21:05
so i need to start a new career ?
waiting for the download now...hope it comes soon Smile great work btwSmile
#25 | TheManxMissile on 16. July 2012 21:15
not rush you guys, or sound rude, but do you have any idea yet when the next version will be available?
#26 | MadsFCN on 16. July 2012 21:15
#20 How can I do that?
#27 | Alakagom on 16. July 2012 21:21
#25 - Next version will be released after the final patch. Next patch ( and possibly last ) is scheduled on 23rd of July, so next version should be out few days after that. It's rough estimate though.
#28 | Niels1987 on 16. July 2012 21:24
Everybody that found out some problem that are still in the game. Post them on this topic so cyanide knows about the problems and can try to fix them.
