So maybe its the current extra time at home, but I started working on this conversion. I have some programming experience so I started by assessing the 2019 file structure and comparing it to the new 2020 file structure. Then I worked on opening copies of the game databases in 2020. From there I was able to export tables (not all but just what I believe was needed) from the Valdarix D2/D3 Mod database and import them into the 2020 DB Tables.
Here are the steps taken so far, this is under /"save folder location"/app/data
1) Edited the 2020 "Conference" Table by clearing and then importing the 2019 D2 Conference Table.
2) Edited the 2020 "ConferenceRel" Table by removing the Independent conference leaving 22 conference lines, just like in the 2019 D2 table.
3) Edited the 2020 "Teams" Table by clearing and then importing 2019 D2 Team Table, this table had to be adjusted since the field sequence is different from 19 to 20. But essentially the same fields.
4) Copied over the Logos into their respective folders, comparing with 2019 and the current 2020 Division 1 mod it was pretty straightforward.
Just for the fun of it I thought I would give it a test run, I was able to go through Basic Game Setup and Association Settings, but when I went to "Accept Settings/Continue to Coach Creation" nothing happens. No error message or anything it just sits there so I not sure what would prevent the creation step. All you can do is "Cancel Association Creation", so I am looking for advice if there is another table or config setting that could prevent the coach creation?
Also I am not sure if this was similar to the what was done to create the Division 1 Mod, but any advice would be nice, thanks.
