You have to click the square that says declared after his nation in the editor. Then confirm, then save and start a new game

Flyers Orange

I'm currently playing a Flyers franchise mode, however the flyers home colours are still black. Is there anything I can do to change it to Orange? I'm currently using the most recent Lidas update.

Thanks

You would have to change it in the pre-game editor and then start a new game

Alright, amidst all the patches and updates etc. I'm not quite sure how to use this pre-game editor. Can someone give me a run through please?

grits- I'm curious too. I read several pages back that its a known issue. However I also know that lidas is somehow able to do it (using an older version maybe?) If thats what it is I would love to be able to get a hold of one of the older versions as I've been working on an update for my own use and not being able to add the picks was kind of a snag

issue with the pre-game editor

Post by bossman »

Hi all.

I performed a search but couldn't find this specific issue. Hopefully I am correct on that.

Anyway, I do some editing in the pre-game editor and when I load the game, none of the edits are there. The game shows the way the database was before I started editing. So I figure that there is something wrong with the editor. But when I go in to edit the file, the edits are there. I checked to make sure that the game gets the databases from the right folder and it does. So I am at a loss. I don't know why the edits I have done don't appear in the game. Any help would be appreciated.

You are starting a new game and choosing the edited database... right?

Yeah I make sure I am selecting the right database. I just don't get it. I feel stupid. Although that could be fatigue....

Did you remember to press "Confirm" every time you finished editing of player/team...?

Yep I confirmed every time I made a change. The weird thing is that I have used the pre-game editor before and there has been no issue. All the edits I have made have come up. Then all of a sudden it is not working properly. I will keep trying and if anyone has any other ideas feel free to throw them my way.

I am sure this has been asked and answered before, but I can't find it via the search button. How do you update the salary cap in the pre-game editor?

If you want that regen will show up, you need to set his retirement date to the first day in-game in extra_config file. If you don't want him to be regened just go to contract section in his profile and press clear button both club contracted and club playing for and then set his job for club as retired.
