Move Data from v2.0 to v2.5

Mountain Rivera · 06-22-2014, 05:36 PM

Hello, I have loved TBCB since v1.0, it never leaves my hard drive...
I had recently updated from v2.0 to v2.5, but some key features need to be corrected. I have Windows7 system, so the main folder is now located in "Documents" location. Now... how do I move all of my fighter data from 2.0? I have saved (update backup every month) the last Universe that I had on 2.0.
Which files do I need to move from 2.0 to 2.5,(to keep all of my fighters W-L Records), and where do I place them in the 2.5 the "Documents" Folder?
Is there a "sticky" to answer this, I am sure that I read what to do years ago, but cannot find. Any help always appreciated.

Okay, me the big Idiot...

I have answered my own question, by simply veiwing the On-line Game Manual
Title Bout Championship Boxing - TB2.5

If anybody else should run across this same question, this will no doubt be very helpful.

Wow, thats not easy to read, I have just changed the font colour to white to make it easier!

I didn't see any text at all. White text is always preferred by us colour-blind guys. (Hint hint, Paulie.) Also better to use simple-to-read fonts like Arial or Times New Roman, etc.

Oh oh! Now that I can read the text I've discovered some unsettling info. I also converted my uni from 2.0 to 2.5 before transferring to TB2013. It seems the game looks at your fighters and assumes everyone is at Prime and assigns those ratings.

I've picked a few guys at random and the ratings changed from 2.0 to 2013.

Beginner Pat Walsh went from OR of 1 to 0. HP of 1 to 0. Endurance of 7 to 5. CB of 5 to 2. CS of 3 to 1. etc.

Of 7 random boxers all show changes in ratings even though they are at the same career stage in both versions.

Pre-Prime Zora Folley went from OR of 7 in V2.0 to a 4 in TB2013. Endurance went from 8 to 6. CB 11 to 9. CS 9 to 8.

Looks like I have to go back to 2.0 and try setting everyone to Prime before converting them to TB2013.
