data base

[McEnBorg]

Seems every time a new full version is issued, I have a problem getting my data base (with my created players) to work.
I install the new version, 5.3.1 in this case, and copy my data base (data.fas) from previous version,
paste into data folder, and the new data base is still there when I start the game.
Please explain what I am doing wrong.

Thank You.

You seem to describe the process in the right way, so I don't know what the problem is.

I've tried several times replacing all data.fas files and results.fas files but
somehow Frederic Rougier and his data base continue to appear in editor and game.
Is it possible the program is grabbing that data.fas file from on-line when it connects?
Could I replace the entire 5.3.2 data folder with the old 5.2.7 folder and try that?

The new installation executable installs the game in your Program files directory. This is where you should put your edited files. Isn't this your problem ?

By default, it is storing the folder under Program Files(x86)/Galatic Gaming Guild/Full Ace Tennis Simulator
That is where I am replacing the data.fas file in the data folder.
I have a suspicion the problem may be that I am using the previous version and also trying to get this new version to work.
When I start the new version I get a message that I can only install 1 version within a 24 hour period.
I am only "installing" 1 version within 24 hours, but I am playing 2. Perhaps this is preventing the game from working with my database.
I will not use the old version for 24 hours and attempt to reinstall the new version again tomorrow.
Perhaps that will solve the problem. I am sure the problem is something I am doing wrong.

I'll report back tomorrow.

Doggone, I uninstalled the new version, re-installed it, copied my data.fas file
pasted it into the data folder and the new data.fas file still appeared when
I started the game and went into the editor.
So I deleted the new data_original.fas file, made another copy of my data.fas file,
renamed it data_original.fas file and also pasted it into the data folder.
The new data player file still appears when I start the game.
I don't know where the program is pulling the new data base from.
Any clues?
Thank you.

Where are you starting the program from ?

Default location: Program Files(x86)/Galatic Gaming Guild/Full Ace Tennis Simulator
Now I still have the old version on the same computer in Program Files/Full Ace Tennis.
Might 2 versions on same computer cause a problem even though I am not playing the older version now?

You may install 40 versions in 40 different directories if you feel like it. When you launch a version, it's going to access the files in the same directory subtree.

Hey I just purchased Full Ace for the first time and I'm having troubles with the database as well (updating as per your problems)

Help please!

[McEnBorg]

Administrator will have to help you, I could not get the new version to work with my data base.
I am using the old version and will try again when the next full version is issued.

I had the same problem
I was editing the game and then saving it
But the data.fas on the main folder was still the same as the one I open before making all the editions
So I decided to search on my computer for all the data.fas files and found it here:
C:\Users\Maestri\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramFiles\GalacticGamingGuild\FullAceTennisSimulator\Data
Pretty hide right? hah
Hopes it helps
