Could you please go ahead and answer this question so that I know the answer too?

Thanks,

I am not a windows expert and it might differ between versions. Try something like this:

* open "My Computer" on you desktop
* FInd the icon for your C drive and click on it
* Cick on "users" icon
* Cick on your name icon
* Cick on "Application Data" icon
* Cick on "Out of the Park Developments" icon
* Cick on "Title Bout Championship Boxing 2.5" icon
* double click on "config.ini", with any luck this will now open in notepad so you can make the change mentioned above.
I'm not able to find this "config.ini" file... and am getting very frustrated. I am using Windows 10, if that helps. In the steps you list above there is no "Application Data" icon or file that I can find on my computer. Please tell me step by step how to get this done. I've had this game since the beginning and I'm not ready to stop playing it!

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that Mike is referring to a site like the "Fighterlist" page here:

http://tbdata.ootpdevelopments.com/changelist.php


That was always a very handy place to go to see who was being updated or added or even to track the change history of a particular fighter. Is there a new site we can go to now?

Thanks,
Mark
How's this?

NOTE: it does work slightly differently because the database structure is different. Also there have not been any changes since I put the system in place so it might take a while to be of any real use..

Hey, Paul. Good thing boxing doesn't have seasons, eh. Who needs the added pressure that would bring, with updated rosters and stuff! :D

Floyd Mayweather has been retired now since September. I've hesitated to change his ratings to the latest JMW ratings on the Changelist because I'm curious to see if the game will update during my weekly database updates. So far it hasn't. Is there a reason that Floyd hasn't been moved to the inactive/retired list of fighters? It's not a big deal since it is something that I can do manually. However, I am wondering if there are other fighters who have their ratings updated on the Changelist that I'm unaware of that don't make it into the game.

I kind of expected something like that would eventually happen. Just fingers crossed the game itself doesn't start to crap out too. We might have to start following curling. ;) :)

I am afraid my hands are tied here... I don't have the build tools or even the right version of the source code to rebuild it. I have tried my best to backwardly support it, however the TB3 database system is quite different in the way it works and should be a lot faster. It allows deleting of records and supports more table types. A lot of work has gone into improving the database for the future, the problem is that 2.5 support has proved very difficult.

I need to move the game forward and improve it where I can.
