Modifying Tour Characters

Postby HotWingsFTW » 16 Feb 2022, 01:25

Hi all,

Was wondering if it is possible to modify vanilla tour characters. I would want to edit things like their appearance (including height, weight, and skin tone), strokes used, their playstyle and their attributes to be more accurate to their real-life counterparts so the tour feels a bit more realistic. Some examples of things I would like to correct:

  • White Madison Keys --> Half Black/Half White Madison Keys (darker skin tone)
  • Ash Barty the Serve and Volleyer --> Ash Barty the All-Around Attacker
  • Iga Swiatek with 1HBH --> Iga Swiatek with a 2HBH

I know it is possible to save players to the training club and then edit them there, but I would really like my edits to be reflected in the tour/career mode and not just in the Training Club. :)

Thanks!

Hi Manu,

Thanks for the reply!

Is there no way for me to edit tour players or insert the new outfit codes into the tour myself? I wouldn't want to send every single change your way because I'm seeing quite a lot I would like to change... :fear:

EDIT: I just found out that we can change character stats AND right/left-handedness AND 1HBH/2HBH AND the outfit (appearance) in the Player.WTA.ini file! Though if you could shed some light on how the stat values in the ini file translate to in-game stats (i.e. what's the conversion/calculation), that would be really helpful :) I also noticed that when I copy/paste an outfit code from the game to the ini file, the player's appearance doesn't exactly reflect the outfit code...some things show up correctly (like skin color) and other things don't (like clothes). Any ideas how to correctly paste the outfit codes?

TE4 outfit entries should start with "OutfitTE4 =" ; "Outfit =" are for TEM2.

Thanks Manu, really appreciate the help! I think I have just about everything I need now :)

One last question and this is really getting into the weeds here: is it possible to make a player hit certain types of shots more often? Take Ash Barty for example. I would say she hits like 70% slice backhands and 30% topspin backhands (purely estimates but you get the idea). Is it possible to modify that kind of thing in TE4?

Thanks! I see the options for that now but I don't see any for topspin vs. slice, so I'll add that to the suggestions thread :) really appreciate all the help!
