My database got corrupt!

[Big-G]

Damn i worked hard on that. All the fighters in my data base are screwed up. All their names are weird like "ef000dew000fw2132432453rf00sfsfsd"?

Is there anyway I can fix that problem?

I need a good database with accurate rankings

[Big-G]

Can anyone send me a database with accurate ratings and stats?

What do you mean by 'accurate rankings'? I have a current database which has all the heavyweight's real life fight records as of mid-2004 (which took ages to do), but obviously having done some fights myself there are some fighters who have slightly different records, e.g. Audley Harrison lost to Vitali Klitschko so is no longer unbeaten. But if anyone wants it they can obviously do what they want with records etc, but the rankings are very good and I've constantly tinkered with ratings to match real life. But as I say it's only for the Heavyweight division at the moment, all the others have had no fights.

If anyone wants it give me a bell.

This is why I retired the game a long time ago.

It's why I take backups of my database every week or so.

Forgive my ignorance but how do you back up your database?

I've had backups go corrupt also. It's still cool though, it evolved into a sort of meterologist. . .it attempts to predict the weather.

This is what it spit out for tonight's forcast:

Marquez TKO 9 over Polo

Castillo TKO 7 (cuts) over Corrales

Nothing to forgive. In your Title Bout game folder there is a folder called Data. In the Data folder there is a folder for each database you have in your game. To backup your database take a copy of the database folder and copy it to another location, such as a CD or another area on your hard drive.

I've had backups go corrupt also.

Me too, I've used as a sign of divine disatisfaction in the progress of my universe and an excuse to try a different idea

Marquez TKO 9 over Polo

Good prediction

Castillo TKO 7 (cuts) over Corrales

Not so hot.

Yeah---that last prediction wasn't so hot.

Did you get what you needed from Dave? I think that Meade may have entered some current records at one time too although they may not be all that "current" any more. I know that I never have, so I can't be of much help to you I am afraid.

The moral of the story as has been said is to back up often. I just use a CD and overwrite the file every other time that I use the data base.

Go here: http://www.angelfire.com/games4/cube...downloads.html

Cube has a few databases you can choose from. They are explained in detail on that page as well. I believe that CubesDBv1.3.1.exe is the original database that came with the game, but it has updated bio's, spelling corrections and a few fighters have a retired version (Lennox Lewis and a couple others). Thats the one I have always used for my universe... its great. Cube does great work.

As far as accurate "rankings".... I am assuming that is a typo and you meant "ratings"?
