Hidden Stadiums

[bctrackboi11]

While looking in the files in Fmodel, I noticed that there are stadiums in the game files that are not available in game. Is there a way to hex edit the database to make them available?

It would appear so, I tinkered around with the custom0.db and was unable unlock Murrayfield.

I thought Murrayfield was already in the game. I’m sure I’ve played in it on PS4

There is a generic stadium for murrayfield, but not that version.

I'll need to play about with the settings to see what byte I changed.

Great work!

Make sure to test for crashes - RC3 didn't respond too well to unlocking stadiums!

What hex editor do you use?

I know of another modder who has tried unlocking the other stadiums but has said they are problematic due to unfinished linking / models. Let's hope there's a work around!

I attempted to unlock Infinity today. It was able to be selected before the match, but crashed instantly. Was able to unlock Aviva though.

What bytes did you change in the custom file?
When I changed Murrayfield I copied some bytes from Twickenham but it then actually replaced Twickenham in the in game menu.

Hey guys tried and tested by the man himself @jmmontoro :

"You can activate:
HBF Park (Perth Oval)
ECOlight Stadium (actually the training field)
Marvel Stadium (Etihad)
Hunter Stadium
Stadio Comunale Di Monigo
Thomond Park
Aviva Stadium
Bayers Growers Stadium (actual ECOlight)
The others apparently have stuff missing in the maps"

Awesome, so what is it that we need to change to activate them?

In a hex editor, I went two bytes before the name and changed the 00 to 01. Similar to unlocking players in RC3

 

[Samiclarksmh]

so do you think these are beta stadiums for further updates?

 

[noah_jo]

Doubt it, I'd imagine they were licenses that didn't end up going through

This was the instruction given to me from him:

"Open the database and search for string "eden" Eden Park is always the first stadium in the table
The table will start at offset 456970 unless you manually edited something which is highly unlikely, it starts with e9030000 which is basically id number 1001
Each table row is 76 bytes long or 4C in hex, and the eigth byte of each row is either 01 or 00 that means active or not
So you should just swap the 00 for 01 except for the UI background
A lot of the models were replaced so Parc y scarlets is not that stadium but another one completely different"

Again, the stadiums able to be unlocked are:
HBF Park (Perth Oval)
ECOlight Stadium (actually the training field)
Marvel Stadium (Etihad)
Hunter Stadium
Stadio Comunale Di Monigo
Thomond Park
Aviva Stadium
Bayers Growers Stadium (actual ECOlight)
The others apparently have stuff missing in the maps

what hex editor did u use?

 

[noah_jo]

This may be a dumb question but I'm gonna ask it anyway -

Is RRL4 frostbite? And if it is is there any way of potentially moving stadiums from that into RC4? Potentially even custom ones made in that game?

No idea, but files can be modified in Blender it seems. http://www.cgchannel.com/2020/07/epic-games-releases-official-blender-to-unreal-engine-tools/

Hey guys, great work so far, I'm a complete novice at this and have a few questions.
1. how do you find the database in the game files?
2. How should we open and edit the files once they have been found?

Cheers
