Is it possible to mod for career to be more than 25 years. I like to simulate things, so would be fun to see all the stats of simulating for total possible time period. To see who the real GOAT is

Hello,

I just did it for today's build : you can now play longer than 25 years by changing the "MaxYear" value under [WT_Static] in your Tennis.ini (HowTo => topic19-32161.php ) ; I didn't test it, so let me know if there's some problem

[Blacky]

awesome, gonna try it today

[zlatan]

I could not do it... i out 200/300 or wathever in max year, but in the player menu it seems to appear only 25 year career span

[manutoo]

zlatan,
if you have created a profile, change its .ini instead of Tennis.ini .

[zlatan]

Sorry mate, i didn't understood this passage at all.

I created a profile, i changed in the profile folder, at .ini the MaxYear, into 100 or whathever and i continue to see in the menu, at the beginning, the life span of my coach of 25 years.

You should check the Contract Length in the Player's Contract tab.

For the next update, I'll change the span info on game creation.

Ok, did it finally...

two question? there is a limit with the data, i mean.. i can really play 2000 years without bugs?

Cause the number of retired players and draw of tournaments would became huge. (in fact i noticed that after the 25th year the roll of honour of the tournaments disapper)

I mean, i played 26 years, the save is 80 mb now

And another thing.. after 2030, the new players are generated randomly?

[manutoo]

1) Maybe, you'll tell me !
It requires about 3MB per year, so 2000 years = 6000MB = 6GB ; the save/load might fail at ~2GB, so after 600 years, it'll be a show-stopper.
Also, you can't have more than 32'000 players. With ~70 new players per year, that gives a hard limit of ~350 years.

2) from 2019, new pro players are fictional ; from 2015, new junior players are fictional.

Hi,

I did how you said, changing MaxYears from 25 to 200 in my profile.ini
Then I go to my main player contract and it still 25.
Does it means it's just for this main player and I will continue the game after 25 years with my other coached players, or will it end on year 25? If it ends, can you make the changing to allow the game to continue?

[manutoo]

Guest,
you have to start a new game for the change to take effect.

[poropopo]

Thanks for your fast answer and sorry about appearing as Guest. I thought I was logged.

Now I got it.

The save of my last game is invalid, but it appears 250 years on the contract of my new game.

I will try now.

250 years it's a lot. I hope your game will not make my wife ask for divorce

[skyfuzzball8312]

I set MaxYears 15 years and when I entered the game, it's appeared as 25 years

[manutoo]

skyfuzzball8312,
you cannot put less than 25 years. There's no reason to : you can retire at any time.
