UncleMo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I am looking for a way to global edit data in the attrib.dat file. I can not do what I want to do in MVP edit because the option is not there to globally edit players by searching for face numbers. Is there a global editor out there that I am not aware of? A batch process that can change data in the attrib.dat file simply by selecting what data I want it to search for and changing those particular items? Example of what I’d want done (I’m making these parameters up): Edit any instance of face 901, with hair styles 1, 3, 5, and 7 that have hair colors 2, 4, 5, 7 with no facial hairs so that the face number is now 715 with 04 style changed to yes. There are so many instances to change, for example that it took me 30 minutes to an hour just to change not even a third of players that match this criterion. Any help would be appreciated and save me so much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated and save me so much time. Assuming face, face2004, hairstyle, hair color, and facial hair are the only things you would need to match you could do the edits by using Wordpad's Replace function(since they're all next to each other in attrib.dat) Note: You could use Notepad, but Wordpad does it much quicker. For the example you gave, you would need to make 16 separate Replace All's. This would be the first one for your example: Find What: 10 901,11 1,12 1,13 2,14 0 Replace With: 10 715,11 0,12 1,13 2,14 0 Press Replace All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krawhitham Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I made a program that searches for a HEX ID and then changes the face value for the player that mached the HEX ID but I do not see how it could be adapted to your needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleMo Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'm ready just to go home and give the above method a whirl. Man. Edit: tried this last night. I did about 5 faces in the time it took me the other night to do about 1. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
