Jim825 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Moving teams around is easy. You just have to edit the team.dat roster file in the datadatabase folder. This file is a text file, so any text editor (Notepad, etc) will work. When you open up the file, look for Houston's entry. It will look like this: 00b87f3f1,0 Hou,1 Houston,2 Astros,3 HOU,4 1,5 4,6 22,7 0,8 1,9 0,10 0,11 0,12 1,13 0,14 0,15 0,16 0,17 0,18 0,19 0,20 1,21 0,22 0,23 0,24 0,25 0,26 0,27 0,28 2,29 2,30 0,31 2,32 2,33 2,34 1,35 0,36 0,37 1,38 0,39 0,40 0,41 2,42 1,43 2,44 2,45 1,46 1,47 2,48 2,49 1,50 2,51 1,52 2,53 1,54 0,; What you care about is value 4 (currently 1) and value 5 (currently 4) highlighted in red above. Value 4 is the team league and value 5 is the team division. For major league teams, value 4 can be set as follows: 0 = American League 1 = National League For major league teams, value 5 can be set as follows: 0 = AL West 1 = AL Central 2 = AL East 3 = NL West 4 = NL Central 5 = NL East As you can see, Houston is setup to be in the NL Central. To move them to the AL West, you would set value 4 to 0 (AL) and value 5 to 0 (AL West). The file entry would then look as follows: 00b87f3f1,0 Hou,1 Houston,2 Astros,3 HOU,4 0,5 0,6 22,7 0,8 1,9 0,10 0,11 0,12 1,13 0,14 0,15 0,16 0,17 0,18 0,19 0,20 1,21 0,22 0,23 0,24 0,25 0,26 0,27 0,28 2,29 2,30 0,31 2,32 2,33 2,34 1,35 0,36 0,37 1,38 0,39 0,40 0,41 2,42 1,43 2,44 2,45 1,46 1,47 2,48 2,49 1,50 2,51 1,52 2,53 1,54 0,; That's it! Editing the schedule would be a lot more work, unless you used the random schedule generator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Great to know! This has also been on my mind. Great question, OP. As far as a schedule, it doesn't really matter to me. A random one would be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcbyrd Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 thanks worked like a charm, another question is there any way i can edit how many teams make the playoffs or is 8 the set amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Unfortunately, no. It's hard coded in the game to have 8 teams. I found this out when I worked on some of the "older" Total Classics mods (TC1978, TC1956, etc.) which simulate years before there were three divisions and wildcard teams.

bctrackboi11 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 On a semi-related note, what values would you change to make a minor league team a major league team and vice-versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 On a semi-related note, what values would you change to make a minor league team a major league team and vice-versa? You would change the same values. Value 4 is the league value for all teams and value 5 is the division value for all teams. I just listed the major league values in my previous post. If you look at the entries for each team in the team.dat file, you will see that the league values range from 0 - 9 and the division values range from 0 - 24. I'm not sure of the exact mappings of the minor league teams since I've only dealt with major league teams, but it wouldn't be hard to map them out. Also, if you don't want a team to show up at all, you would set value 4 to 10 and value 5 to 25. That's the way that we "hid" teams in the Total Classics mods. There are 4 teams at the end of the team.dat file setup that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laroquece Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks Jim, I didn´t know any of this... My only problem is I can´t create a schedule using Dylan´s random schedule generator , but at least Houston is in the AL :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcbyrd Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I just use the balanced schedule generator I found that way Houston at least plays the teams in the al west five or six times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think part of it is that Dylan's schedule generator was done with a certain version of Excel and if your version is older, it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Not really. And not operating system, lar. More like M$ office tools. I think he constructed it in Excel 07. Doesnt matter if you're on XP, Vista, 7, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Houston liga Americana http://www.facebook....&type=3 It's not that we don't know how to do. Thanks to Homer we do. It's apparently how to keep them from moving back to the NL. Someone been able to reproduce this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
