Getting the stuff to WORK

Hi guys.
I started to work on an own database. I loaded an existing one and changed all the names of the NHL-teams. Nothing else (well, colors and rivalries). But the game crashes when I try to load the DB.

Why? Is there a trick you must do to get your own databases to work?

Certain team names are hardcoded into the .exe and the game looks for them at startup. If they're not there, it'll lose and crash. So, two options: either create a new team to replace an existing one, or after you change the team name, create a new (blank) team using the name you just replaced...

Allright.
I do get the "Atlanta Trashers-something can't be found" message. So I guess the teams named there are the ones I have to replace.

Thanks!

Yeah, exactly that. :)
