alrighty, i've hit a brick wall. help is appreciated.

i've created 6 new inational teams with IDS 1999-2004. to avoid the impossiblity of adding menu flags, i switched these teams IDs with 6 "crappy" national teams. so, that they traded IDs. this was so that i could have the menu graphic spots of the crap teams available for my new teams, yet retain the crap teams.

theoretically, it should work. but, for some unknown reason, if the switched crap teams with IDs 1999-2004 are put in the International section in Link_TF, the game will crash after selecting teams.

the kits are also switched, and i've even put the flags in, but it still refuses to load a game. any suggestions?

this whole trend of people who know being too cool to help a guy out needs to stop.

c'mon people. i know there are those of you with extensive knowledge of Access database editing. tell me, why does my game crash? what can i do to fix it?

so, 4 of the 6 work.

tell me, is there a limit to the number of national teams is the International section?

yes, I believe there is a limit on teams that can be each group, from what I can see, it is 64 teams. I got this from hex editing, and not Access or CC BTW.

this only adds 6 to that list, making a total of 45.

if what you say is true, it should work.

but, if i add even one more of them, it crashes.

yet, if i remove a different team and replace them with another of the 6, it'll work.

so, 43 seems to be the limit...

why?

and is there a way around this?

oh, and thanks for the response

perhaps, only 4 "new" teams can be added?

anyone know?

has nobody else encountered a similar problem?

i know there is another international team update in the works...
