Origins Question - Yep, Excel

battists · 11-22-2005, 04:47 PM

Quick question for you Origins modders out there. I'm trying to do some simple Origins modifications using Excel. Nothing so complex that I want to use Dave Williams' tool or anything. In fact, all I want to do is replace everyone's existing origin with "Europe". It's a simple paste down the whole Excel column.

The problem is, every time I open the players_general.csv file in Excel, it turns my heights into Date format, so while my Origins change to Europe, I lose all of my heights.

Thoughts?

Yep. Happened to me and sought the same advice. Still have to go find this thread every time it happens.

Little guys out there only 1'1" tall. How do they stand a chance?

Actually statfrk's link is what you need. But thought you'd want to see the origin of the question AND another pic of our fav.
