What is the general consensus on using this database? I would like to know as I am in the middle of a transition into becoming a llama and before i download I would like t know peoples view on using it. I wonder because I have it heard it is just an update instead of a cheat tool.

Not an official SI update = NO.

LLM Rules/Guidlines

Use of Editors and 3rd party updates

Twofold reason here:

1) Cheating is bad. It's bad for the soul. It'll get you burned badly in LLM. If you want to cheat, that's fine, but don't tell us about it, we don't want to know.

2) Editing data files can corrupt the .sav file. This can take several seasons to show up and there's nothing worse than losing a 20-odd season savegame, worse if you've been cheating to do it.

For this reason third-party updates aren't allowed in LLM either. Only updates by SI are smiled upon in LLM.

The other reason for third-party updates being banned is that there's the potential for the unscrupulous updater to advantage/disadvantage his favourite/hated Clubs/Players, and this would upset the balance of the game.

One grey area is the use of the "RETAIN_PLAYERS" .ddt files. This seriously unbalances a game. If, say, you retain all the players of Italy when you're playing a game in England and Scotland you end up with Clubs full of Italian players in all the Divisions in Scotland and England.

Alongside this I'd like to welcome you to LLM, and advise you against using the Spawn of Satan Forum (Editors Hideaway)

Now play nicely

I was just asking as I thought this might be exempt as it is a form of patch in which it just updates but dsn't give unfair advantages to any one team

Which part of "third-party updates aren't allowed" don't you get?

I've seen people saves going down **** hole by installing something as simple as no-cd crack. To let some plurk mess up with your database? You must be insane.

Didn't say I was using it but I was getting the general opinion on it before I downloaded it, plus it is from a reputable site who have made several problem free updates for FM

Just no.

Any other languages do you need the answer in?

retired_joannemcmillen · 07-02-2007, 11:53 PM

That issue is solved now so why does every one have to be really condescending, If someone asked something they didn't I'd rather try and help them than try and be some condescending B A S T A R D!!!!!!!!!!!
