To uninstall you simply delete the Rugby 08 folders in your Program Files, and in My Documents.

Following what I did with the Excel sheet macros, I decided to dust-off my VB codebook and have made my own basic version of a roster editor exe:



I've taken the basic ideas from Woosah's editor and added my own couple of twists to it. For instance, my uses the be29 and 119ba .xml files to populate the team info and stadium lists, instead of relying on excel files. I can also edit the player/team databases directly (last pic).

This works for me, but I haven't done any validation on it so it's very easy to make it crash, plus it's quite slow to open and save full roster files. I've also discovered while making this that the way HB/EA used the bits to assign skin texture, sock types, and all the thigh/wrist/finger tape/gloves is REALLY annoying!

If anyone's interested in it I can look to release it if I can make it more stable.

I've uploaded a zip file which contains some of the regular template texture files that I use to make kits, team logos, custom heads and some other stuff, in case anyone else wants to have a go at making their own mods. Most of these files use Blender 2.89 for modelling, and GIMP, because I'm cheap, but they can probably be converted to Photoshop files.

Hallo @jim546 any progress on release?have you decided yet?

Slow updates. I've got good functionality on the basics, it can import a roster, edit players and teams, and save a roster and rdf file, they both seem to work for me. Also worked out how to read xml files so the editor can get some of its data from the game xml's.

The bad bit at the moment is that it's quite slow to actually save a new roster/rdf, 10-20 seconds might not sound like a lot but it seems excessive for such small files.

I'm currently trying to make some "extra" features, stuff like turn injuries on/off for all players. I'm working on a way to mass edit stuff like team team performance/stadiums as it's something I do often, it's running but not how I want it to:
