Hello,

I still play an old now abandonware football management game called 'championship manager 93/94' that I would love to be able to edit some of the data to, in order to bring it up to date.

It would only be modifying existing player/team names, so I'm sure it can't be that difficult?

The game is now abandonware, written in 1993 & so I don't think it would be illegal & I have no intention to profit from it in anyway & as the game is old it might be easier to 'hack'.

Here's a download link for the game:

If ANYONE can OFFER any help or advice I would be very greatful.

GlennThe names are located in the Clrecs file. You can try opening it up in notepad and editing it that way, if that doesn't work just use a hex editor.

I downloaded a hex editor & was able to see some of the names of players under clrecs, so I altered a couple to see if it would work but it made no difference.

Strange.Did you make sure that you REPLACED all instances of the NAME you changed? Also did you keep the d in front of the name, I think it's NECESSARY (i.e. dLiverpool). Also, if you replace a long name with a short name you might have to pad it with nulls (00) or spaces (20)

Example:

dD.Holdsworth = 64 44 2E 48 6F 6C 64 73 77 6F 72 74 68

replace with

dGlenn = 64 47 6C 65 6E 6E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

or 64 47 6C 65 6E 6E 20 20 20 20 20 20 20

In other words, try to occupy the same amount of space the original name took up.Try hexing the Cmexe.exe instead, I found names in there too.
