Problems Editing Formation In DBM 14

I want to change the formations of two teams in DBM (I don't want to use CM because it's too buggy, and it can't be done in game because I'm using moddingway and when I'm done will add gameplayzer) but am having troubles. From what I understand, all I need to edit are the formations table and the teamplayerlinks table.

So I copied the data from a team with my desired formation and inserted it into the row of the team of the team I wanted to change (in this case, I want Independiente to use the same formation as River Plate does, the 4-4-2 diamond wide; and for Sevilla to use Bahia's 4-4-2 diamond formation). And under teamplayerlinks, I made sure that every player's position was assigned perfectly (for the 4-4-2 diamond wide, it has to be 0, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 16, 18, 24, 26).

I followed these instructions and was expecting either it to work or for it to crash. Neither happened...the formations were the same as before. I thought maybe this had to do with the 'formationid' column in the formation table, so I tried it with both the number Independiente had before I pasted the data and then tried the number River has, and that didn't change anything. Then I thought it might've been the 'artificialkey' column because I switched a few players around...so I tried both giving them the 'artificialkey' of the player they replaced and then with their original number...still no change.

Any ideas? I exported the formations and teamplayerlinks tables and uploaded them here:

Sevilla and Independiente, by the way, went to the bottom of the table after editing them (and that's where you'll find them)...maybe that has something to do with it.

chances are you have duplicate entries for both teams.

you need to simply clone all the data except the artkey and formationid.

also making sure the teamplayerlinks matches the formations table for assigned positions.

Click to expand...

The teamplayerlinks table seems to be fine, although I'm not 100% sure about the 'artificialkey' column but I tried both keeping their previous values and then changing it to the same of the player they replaced and it didn't work.

There aren't duplicate entries for either team. I think I may have figured something out though...there is no 'artkey' column in the formations table. I've looked everywhere for it...maybe that has something to do with it?

Well I finally figured it out...

After regenerating the .bh it worked. Yes, it should've been an obvious solution, but with everything else I have edited I haven't had to regenerate so I don't know why I had to do so with formations...maybe because two tables were edited? I don't know. Whatever the case, problem solved, I can finally start playing now (as soon as I figure out this annoying bug in Moddingway that keeps players with expired contracts from leaving their teams).
