| Is there anyway to make Tiger Woods able to be edited ? In gameface, all you can click on is his attributes. Everything else; clothes, equipment, etc., is grayed out. I wanna change his club shafts and such. One solution for me would be to create him, but that's kind of impractical. I have a hex editor. Maybe there's something I could do to Tiger Woods.plr to achieve what I want ?? |

Mike, I had the same issue, so I ended up creating a new Tiger. You can check him out by downloading my CPU Opponents file:
http://www.coursedownloads.com/extras/details.asp?id=482
Copy his plr file and install it in My Documents / TW 08 / Career / Players (;make a copy of Tigers default plr file before pasting mine in the folder). After that youll be free to edit him. |

| Mike, I just tried it myself. My Tiger plr file installed fine, but when I went to edit his appearance, he turned into a 400 lb white guy! I'm going to see if I can just edit clubs etc without that happening. |

| Nope. He morphs into John Daley's big brother if you try and access his game face particulars. I remember seeing this happen before. It could be the created player's folder has to be installed along with his plr file. But I don't have that anymore (lost the files when my PC crashed a few months ago). Sorry about that. |

| Can anyone help me with this ? I can't believe that this isn't possible. I just messed around with a hex editor for like an hour or so and got some crazy results. I actually found the hex code section in the .plr file that determines the attributes and how much money the character has, but I can't find the code in Tiger Woods.plr that stops his character from being able to change clubs, clothes, facial features, etc.. |

That info has been floating around the net for a while now. And the owners of this site dont appreciate hex code discussions, just a heads up. There is nothing to help you with Im afraid. The one answer is you can create a new Tiger Woods character, after which you can edit his CPU abilities and make him as docile or as dangerous as you like. For example, if you max out all his abilities, hell shoot -40 in every tourney, lol. And creating a new Tiger in Game Face only takes 30 minutes, or half the time you spent poking around in his file with a hex editor. ;;) |

| Yea, but i can never make him look like his actual self. Whatever, that's pretty lame that there's no way to just edit his plr file. It's hard to pin his looks down since he's 1/8 native american, 1/8 dutch, 1/4 thai, 1/4 this, and 1/4 that.. |

I don't even have 08 installed anymore, cause it will not load. (I only have 07) Part of the fun of this entire game at least for me, is seeing Tiger's real swing in a video game. When u change him up, you loose that feature. I only wish you were able to change his clothes to some of the different styles of the past. In the 07 game, you get a pretty nice wardrobe for Tiger. In 08, it is horrible cause there is no sunday Tiger. I think with really playing with some of the files you may be able to somehow edit this. No idea how. Also from time to time the game changes up the stock players. I have tried to figure out ways to convert them, but it just doesn't work. However, Nicklaus, Palmer, and Hogan all convert. (They are uploaded here under custom 08 players) They are the only ones. Their has to be a reason for this. In some folder in the game has to read what the stock players are supose to look like.
There was a post about 1 year ago where Trubluemich, did something to the Tiger file. What it did was it gave Tiger better stats. That is the file I have used for Tiger's stats. I also have him maxed out as a computer player, but sometimes he still shoots like 75 or 78. |

Not sure why that would be. Ive tested my created Tiger plr file extensively, and with his attributes maxed, he wins every tourney by 15-20 strokes. I had to edit his attributes and actually make him worse than a number of the top players, in order to have him put up realistic scores. His plr file was editable in TW 04, and he would put up the same sort of crazy scoring results with his attributes maxed out.
Its pretty annoying that the developers removed the ability to edit his file, and the files other default pros. And good point about losing his swing when one re-creates him;; I hadnt thought of that. Definitely not an ideal solution. |

Yes.. and yes again, if you create your own Tiger, his style is gone. I dont know. All Id really like to do is choose a ball to use and give him the red Nike polo shirt. |

Bangus,
That is cause Tiger is not playing with you. When u load up a game, and choose to play with the player it kind of changes things. The harder the course, the harder it is for the computer player to score. Than u add in sloped greens. The computer behaves usually pretty poor. Over the years, their has only been a handful of computer players that I saw shoot really good scores over 4 rounds. Playing 4 rounds and adding the scores together. In the 04 game it was great cause u could just let the computer play a course and sit back an watch. This was really good for designing. Since than u have to play in the group. I wish their was a way to change that.
You can set the stats for the .plr file and than use it as a non playing competitor. I am not talking about that. It is easy to set Tiger to perfect stats 66.50 scoring 90% fairway, and ect. I am talking about when he plays in your group.
One more thing, you can take other .aia, cal files from different games and use them to change some of the attributes for the player. I have done this and it works. I have done a bunch with this, on this site alone, I think uploaded like 65 players. None of them went through the career mode, but everyone of them has tons of cash and you can edit their attributes up to 100. I dont feel like writing it out, but their is a few tricks with moving files that you have to do in order to achieve this.
On the stock players you have to play with other versions of the game and set them and than replace them.

I dont care if people use Hex Editors on plr files.
Hint: Use a Hex Editor with compare feature to compare two files. There is going to be a 00 and a 01 that don't match somewhere all by there self towards the top if its a simple true or false preventing you from editing their features....my guess is the game is hard coded to recognize certain plr files and load them defferently. |

I concur with your guess.. but I did manage to create a player, cut and paste a chunk of the hex code from tiger woods.plr and over write the same area in my creater players .plr file, so now, the created player looks exactly like Tiger Woods. He cant be edited, BUT, he hits like a created pro player. His clubs are all the same as Tiger Woods.plr, but the ball is the same ball I chose on my created player. |

Good to know. But I was sharing info with someone here a few months back on how to edit created players and give them unlimited money and attributes, and the thread was quickly deleted.

That's a little different than the intention of this thread. I guess I shouldn't make my version of Tiger Woods public then, even though he's definately a more accurate depiction of how Tiger Woods plays in real life. |

Yes and no. It's still hex editing plr files. And not that anyone cares, but I edited my offline created player so he's WORSE than a default created player. If you create a Pro player, his atributes are all set at 75%. I prefer having some attributes like putting at 0%, in order to make the game more difficult. Power I left at 75%, and it's my highest attribute.
As for money, I personally don't use that hex cheat. When I play a career, I prefer to have to struggle to make enough money for tourney entrance fees. I actually love that I have to exit career mode and go play a skins game in order to drum up some cash! :) |

Here is Tiger with better stats.
How to Install Tigers New Stats...
1) Put the .plr file in
MyDoc/Tw08/Career/Players
2) Put the Ability files in (;.aia,.hal,.cal)

TruBluMich,
Let's face it 9 out of 10 times the stock players are going to look better than any kind of custom player. Only a few players I ever did over the years really turned out good. example (Ernie Els and Nick Faldo)
My question is this.
Justin Leonard (07)
Stewart Applby (07)
Ty Tyron
Mark O'Meara (back in 03)
Seve Ballesteros (05)
Gary Player (05)
Old Tom Morris (05)
Ty Tyron (05)
These all used to be STOCK PLAYERS created by EA SPORTS.
Ty Tyron and Justin Leonard have custom swings created by EA Sports.
Nicklaus, Palmer and Hogan always ported over every season since 05, Palmer has a custom swing.
If you convert any of the players above in to 08 their player turns in to Tiger Woods, but they keep their name.
Their must be a way to convert these players over in to 08 doing something to the game. You have to add files, change files, or do something. I just don't know.
If someone is really good, maybe you can port over some of the clothing lines from the past, aka Sunday Tiger, Vijay 07 wardrobe, Luke Donalds 07 wardrobe, Michael Cambell 07 and ect.
Just maybe, you can add in new clothing lines for all the players to use.
Note:
When I was doing the 08 Custom players, I ported them over from the 07 game. Some of them took some of the stock players clothing lines, or even invented some kind of fake logo for their shirt. Very Weird. So for example if you download Nick Faldo, Nick Dougherty, or even Henrik Stenson. Some of the clothing they have on, you will not be able to find or add to them. If you change lets says Nick Faldo's pants, you will never get them back, or even Stenson's Shirt.

I just checked that archive out. I see what it is. That alters his performance offline. I wanted to get Tiger to hit longer online, and I did, so Im satisfied. A few days ago, I started using Tiger online and I noticed he couldnt drive, hit the irons, or anything as far as custom created golfers. So I made a golfer, copied and pasted a few chunks of Tiger Woods.plr to my custom golfers plr file, renamed the file to Tiger Woods.plr, and the result is a custom golfer with tiger woods exact looks and stance and swing. All attributes are at 75 like a created golfer. Im not sure why he hits further now. The chunk of code responsible for his looks from the original Tiger Woods.plr file is also responsible for his clubs, so, the custom golfers clubs have been replaced by Tigers, but I think the custom golfers ball remained, which is giving him that extra distance. It took quite a long time to understand what pieces of code did what. The first chunk of code in the .plr file is the golfers name. I wont disclose which chunk of code is the players looks and which chunk is the players attributes..
And why cant I talk about hex editing ? Im not trying to create cheats. Its corrective surgery - not unnecessary plastic surgery. |
