Thank you very much!

Thank you !
I had not looked for a file named "default" ...
I had found the others, 1A and 1B ;-)

You bet. That photo file is in the photo folder. The file is titled 'default'. There are a few other generic rider photos -- to provide a different look.

If you can't find it -- I could post a copy in the 'Artwork' Steam tab. For the '18 game, I can't confirm what is in the mod -- my disk space isn't sufficient to maintain my local files that far back.

Hi,
Thanks for the DB.
Where can I find the generic portrait used for cyclists who do not have photos?
I would like to use it on the riders generated by the game via the editor but I cannot find it in the photo folder.
Thanks in advance !

Thanks for checking it out.

To add the faces, go to this PCM18 mod:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1425871933

Instructions for adding the women pro masks are the that mod's description. Basically, once you subscribe to that mod, the faces will download with the mod contents. Then, you will need to back up the men pro masks in the game folders, and copy in the women masks. The masks are only in one mod because the files are large.

If something goes wrong, please add a comment.

Hi, and first of all, thanks for this mod. This topic might be inactive right now, but I'm wondering: how is it possible to get women's faces on the game instead of the generic file?

Thanks

qst, I think. This mod uses the default jersey, which might be on your PC here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager 2018\3D\Cyclists\Cloth

To add a new version, anyone could create a "qst" folder with the new jersey and stick it here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager 2018\3D\Cyclists\Cloth
or in the mod folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\704230

what is the name of file with the quickstep kit?

You are right, of course. I have posted an update. Look good?

This is just a question about Susanne Andersen's stats. I thought she where a sprinter, and not a TT rider.

The new Norway race is up.

No need. I will look for it on Strava™

I can't find any map of the race, but I have a map that could work. I will send it to you on mail:)

saivarkalpamtha@gmail.com

Yes, please: the course in Sandefjord. if you can find it.

I agree. The lower scores seem more realistic. I will change it back. But I will keep the juiced up DB in the folder for anyone who is interested.

To make a Pro-Career game harder, I found this works:
19-year-old pro career: change main skills to 63 and all other stats to 50 (sprinter has 64 sprint & 50s for all other stats)
22-year-old pro career: change main skills to 66 and all other stats to 55.
Trait limits should be set around 72 for skill and 65 for all other traits
Grand Champion: 75 trait limit
World Class: 72 trait limit
Excellent: 68 trait limit
--> as you said

If I can get your email adress I can send you a route of Sandefjord...

I mean, I tried one year of Pro Cyclist mode now and its just to hard to win something. I like the DB now but the last DB when the riders where bader in genral where a lot better. So pliiz make it back again.

So I you want me to find a course in Sandefjord so you can make it on this DB? If I understod you right?

The Norwegian races are up now. If you can find the Sandefjord course, I could make a new stage for that race. I could not find a map for the Sandefjord race on the web.

I understand:) But pliiiz make a Norwegian National Champ race

to your point --I gave it a try and posted a db where 5-7 points are added to each stat. Check it out.

To correct for that, this db includes a big junior class. That allows new riders to come up. The game generated riders can be deleted after sorting them by weight or size.

You are right. But this whole project started by comparing WT and WWT pro rider results on Strava™ and Garmin Connect™ on different terrain – on Huy, the Mortirolo, Mt. Baldy, the Champs-Élysées sprint finish, the Paterberg, and many others. That’s why the db riders have higher mountain and TT scores and lower cobble and prologue scores, and frequently lower scores overall.
There is a db (WCD) long in the works that gives the stats up to the 84 max. WCD needs help – but it might still be on its way. I’ve done some work on that one, but there’s more to do.
Here’s a WCD page. https://www.pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=46798&pid=1225253#post_1225253

I actually think that everyone on the game should be higher ranked. Like in the BENJI NAESEN WORLD-DB they are ranked high beacause, the young riders are evolving faster than the older riders. Like i played one season as a tour rider on pro cyclist mode, and i almost won WC first year!! I placed 3 place and at the begining of the next season me and like 2-3 other riders where better than Van Vlueten. SO what i say is pliis make everyone better. NO HATE! Love this DB.

PS: Lot of writing wrongs. I am from norway so i am not very good in english

Thanks for the comment. I could test a higher score -- what would you suggest? She's already higher by 2 points than anyone, and she has the 2nd best resistance in the game. Also, she benefits from the best team in support so the current scores might be too good.

Van der Breggen should be better at hills dude

Thanks for the note. I appreciate it. 17 new early-season races just loaded.

Just popping in quickly to say that I still enjoy this DB loads!

April in the first year? -- you could delete those riders.

On the stages -- I wish we could talk it through. If you have a specific edit you would like to see, send me an email or a private message. I'm always looking for ways to improve game-play. saivarkalpamtha@gmail.com You are welcome to make me struggle to read French instead of struggling yourself to write in English (since I'm the one getting the help).

Thanks for the answers, advises, fixing and additions.

For male riders, like my game is in April, do you recommand me the B method ?

For stages, we have not understood each other. Sorry, my mother tongue is French, in this language the functionnality "stages" is the "preparation stages" the thing that the riders do before races to have bonuses.
But in fact when playing with the default database there is the same number of preparation stages. In the old PCM versions there were more preparation stages because they were divided by land.
Sorry for the False issue.

Thanks for the note. I've added these changes to this release.

Here's some ideas on your very-valid points:

If you do edit a career or pro-cyclist game database, it's good to make a few improvements:
1. Sort on the column "will retire" and remove the checks from the women riders. It's nice to keep Pitel and the other ageless greats in the game.
2. Add a photo code to your pro-cyclist's database entry. You can easily make a new photo with that code using paint.net . The photo should be 64x64 .tga file.
3. adjust your pro-cyclist's stats to be more in line with the women's peloton

I just posted some new late-season races today. But I will start working on more early-season continental races. Stages take time, so I hope to have a couple up every few weeks. There are a few Coupe de France events that would be cool. There's also some regional events like the Asian Cycling Championships. I've been wanting to put these in the game.

Thanks a million for pointing out the errors in the data -- I added fixes to today's update. I'm always checking and fixing things, but keep them coming when you see a possible improvement.

women masks:
The masks are part of the 2018 Women's database. Temporarily subscribe to that workshop DB to get the masks. They are not included here because of PCM's Steam space limits.

Once you subscribe to the 2018 db, you can find the women 3D masks on your CPU here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\704230\1425871933.

The masks are listed as folders named 'FakePro_01', 'FakePro_02', 'FakePro_03', 'FakePro_04', 'FakePro_05'.

Go to PCM's 3D content folder here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pro Cycling Manager 2018\3D\Cyclists\Professional

Save as a backup the default 'FakePro' mask folders for the men. Then copy in the women 3D mask folders.

game generated riders:

A) Delete new male riders in January. Use a database editor to open your weekly saved file found at “C:\Users\__your name__\Documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2018\WeeklySaves\ YourProfile”.

Sort the riders by size or weight (male riders have "0" in these fields). Then save the file with a new name.

Copy that file to the following folder: “C:\Users\__your name__\Documents\Pro Cycling Manager 2018\Cloud\YourProfile” The updated game is ready to load.

B) Another way of removing the males is by reducing their stats to 50s. This works well for men on a team. After sorting for male riders (size <10), copy one 50 and paste it to all the stats. Those riders will soon retire or cut.

Hi pessoptimist, thank you for this mod.
I have some remarks/questions :
1) The new young riders generated by the game have big stats compared to real riders and have male names.
2) There is too few preparation stages
3) Is it possible to put the women models of the 2018 mod in this mod ?
4) I have seen some errors in the riders. For example Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has not the good age (nor region). Wikipedia seems accurate on this.

Thanks a lot for this incredible Data Base ;))

Parkhotel is in my profile! Love your Bigla :-)

There's no Comparison. World DB and the others are much more massive than this one. But thanks.

Parkhotel is needed. The others are up.

(Also, I took a look at one of the biggest men's db, and it's a great db but the details which are missing there really make me appreciate this one even more!)

I'll do Biggla tomorrow, hopefully Parkhotel too. Somewhere tomorrow CET!

Sunweb is up.

Nice. Feel free to do Sunweb. I won’t get the chance tonight. Anyway, those 2 jerseys are so similar. I will post it tonight along with the roster of El Eneicue team.

You've got mail with the CCC! Added some champs jersey's too. Might give a try at Sunweb, but if you beat me to it they're yours ;-)

Uittenbogaard.s, would you like to do the Sunweb and CCC Jerseys? Let me know. I can do them tomorrow if you don’t want to.

U! I emailed you thoughts on how we might split the new jersey updates.

Looks good. There is a new Boels already on the system. We could switch it up. Or maybe have a vote-off
