I'm trying to create 6-700 players to add to the game.
I've edited players.txt, teamplayerlinks.txt and playernames.txt in Excel, after exporting tables from the DB via DB Master.
I can successfully import the players.txt and teamplayerlinks.txt (and regen using i68 Controller) and they display properly in DB Master 14 (i.e. the edited tables show up) and in game, where my created players show on the correct teams with the correct stats.
The problem is all my created players have blank/empty names. I am 101% sure the players table has the correct firstname and lastname values.
I thought I'd solved this before by simply not knowing to hit Reset Squads in the game editing menu, but after completing all my edits and retesting I see now the playernames.txt table just isn't being imported or updated and the players show up in game but nameless.
Anyone else run into this and know of a fix? Is there a hard limit to the playernames.txt table's number of records? I have 24547 versus 23162 in the vanilla DB. The max value for the playernames table seems to be 28000 according to the .xml file so I don't think this is the issue.
I've also tried adding the names to the dcplayers table but still no display in-game.
Any advice or suggestions much appreciated.
