Cornermen Ratings

OK. This is an experiment. I know that cornermen ratings - just like those for announcers, judges and referees - can't be added to the database like fighters can through the exchange file. I have been able to add trainers and cutmen to the cornermen file by creating a new one and then checking the export to file box with trainer/cutman added to that .dat file. I've then been ably to copy and paste the .dat file to other universes (saved games). I think this might work for others. I have zipped my cornermen.dat file. (A word of caution - other than those cornermen rated in the game, mine are purely subjective based either on scraps of information about them that I've been able to find or my intuition or speculation. I've bumped the ratings for cutmen up some to counteract the tendency of the game to have unrealistic numbers of cuts and cut stoppages. The ratings are all editable so you can modify them to fit your preferences.)

The zip rating is here:

Once you have unzipped the file (using WinZip), you can paste it over the cornerman.dat file in your saved game (universe) file. It might be a good idea to save your existing file elsewhere just in case somethings doesn't work. You can then paste this file into the universe again without any damage to your universe. Creating a test universe file might be another way to insure that this file can be tested before use. There are 405 cornermen ratings in this file. I intend to send the updated file everytime I add 25-30 cornermen ratings. If this works, I'll look to do the same for announcers, referees and judges. Enjoy.

Brillant sepia warrior,

Thanks for the time and effort gone into this. One question, do you have images for the additional cornermen you've put into the game?

Many of the images for the cornermen are in the Cornerman photo thread. If there are any in particular that you are interested in that I haven't posted, I will add them to that thread. I will also try to list the cornermen for which photos are still needed in the near future. I'm still trying to match many of them with the fighters in my database. I'm glad you found them to be useful.

Finally got a chance to put this in my UNI. Great work Sepia. Very much appreciated!!!

Jackyle - I'm glad you could put the files to use. Bob- I'll start listing the cornermen who are lacking photos. I'll do them alphabetically by surname so the task won't seem so daunting. Plus, it will give me time to search around for them some more. Any that I find will be placed in the Cornermen thread.

Thanks for that, but what I actually meant was, a zip file - all the images in one download.

Because the pictures of cornermen are available in their separate thread, I had not planned to aggregate them in a zip file. I was more concerned with building up a database of actual trainers for use in the game. (I am doing the same for announcers, referees, and judges.) I am looking to cover the various eras and as many nations as possible. As I find photos that are not already posted, I will post them to that thread. Right now I'm hoping to get images of all of the 405 cornermen that are in the zip file.

Photos Needed - Part One

I will be listing the names of the trainers in the zipped file for whom photos are still needed. I will list them alphabetically and I will add any I find to the Cornermen thread. I will work my way through slowly. Please add any that you might have or find.

A: Hisham Abdul, Larry Amadee, Fred Anchondo, and Herman Armour.

B: Joe Barrientos, Frederick "Pee Wee" Beale, Daan Bekker, Saso
Betancourt, Doug Bidwell, Henry "Pop" Blanken, Alex Boudin, Luis
Branna, Frank Brazzell, and Bob Brown.

C: Manuel Canseco, Eddie Carr, John Castron, Don Charles, Jimmy
Connolly, Joe Cruz, and Artie Curley.

D: Rafael Diaz and Luiz Carlos Diaz.

E: Leroy Edmerson, Burke Emery, and Sully Emmett.

F: Pete Fernandez, Harry Fine, and Hugh Fury.

More to follow.

Photos Needed - Part Two

The next batch of photos needed:

G: Cesare Garbelli, Libero Golinelli, James Green and Wendall "Winky" Groom.

H: Gordon Holmes.

J: Carlos Jacamo.

K: Earl Kaehn.

L: Jack Lindsay, Willie Lock, Joey Lopes and Henry "Doc" Lucey.

Any updates yet?

Ciao,
John

Yes. My cornermen file now has 430 ratings - an increase of 25 from my earlier posting. I can't find my list of added cornermen at the moment but I'll zip the file and post it over the weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to list the added cornermen. Thanks for the reminder.

Here is the updated cornermen file. You can unzip it, then copy and paste to your .dat file as described earlier. I couldn't find the list so I may just post list screens of the cornerman.

Here are the first four screens of the cornermen rated:

Thank you, profoundly for the screen caps. Saves me some work.

Thanks for the update!

Great work!

Well appreciated!
