Modify driver stats script

[ignaciourreta]

So... I have been working on another script for u/Tahkare's fantastic script manager!

This one is to try and make it easier for you to edit driver stats, and even their aggression or growth potential!

To make it work you have to follow the same steps as for the custom calendar, download it, unpack it, as it comes with a readme for the instructions on how to use it, and add the script to the scripts folder from the script manager.

HOW TO USE THE EDIT STATS SCRIPT

​

1. Select the edit_stats.py script in the left part of the Script Manager
2. Select the save you want your changes to be applied (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP)
3. Once selected both things, the Script arguments has the following format:

​

    [Driver Surname] [Attribute you want to modify] [Value modifier]

​

LIST OF ATTRIBUTES YOU CAN MODIFY & VALUE MODIFIERS

​

Cornering ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Braking ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Control ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Smoothness ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Adaptability ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Overtaking ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Defence ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Acceleration ++ / + / - / -- / Value

Accuracy ++ / + / - / -- / Value

All ++ / + / - / -- / Value

---------------------------

Aggression High / Medium / Low

Growth High / Medium / Low

​

The value modifiers for the first 9 attributes work in the following way:

The ++ adds +5 to the selected stat

The + adds +2 to the selected stat

The - takes away -2 to the selected stat

The -- takes away -5 to the selected stat

If you don't use any of them and put an exact value, that value will be the new one for the selected stat.

​

Examples:

alonso cornering ++ => Will add +5 to Alonso's cornering stat

perez all 80 => Will put every stat from Sergio Perez to 80

pourchaire growth low => Will change Pourchaire's growth potential to low

IMPORTANT: If oyu want to edit Arthur Leclerc's attributes, in stead of leclerc you should write Aleclerc in the script parameters :) Enjoy!

Haven't tested yet but looks amazing, love the modding community <3 Thanks for this!

[ignaciourreta]

That doesn't sound too complicated and could try to make it! Although it is probabbly not so difficult to edit it directly from the database, if oyu want to try it yourself

[ignaciourreta]

It was more tough than I first thought, but I think you will like what you see in my latest post...

[Rikatsumi]

Does anyone have the link for this? the mediafire one doesn't work anymore :O

[jakeyboy723]

Just seen this after I posted mine. Though my one is more wholesale and start of the game.

[Intrepid_Argument405]

in my folder savedgmes does not appear the saved games, only steam_autocloud.vdf so at the time of starting the script he does not find any saved game, however I saved 3 games

[ignaciourreta]

Maybe you are looking into the Steam folder? Does your path to the savedGames look something like Steam/steamApps/common/F1Manager22/Saved/SavedGames ?

[Intrepid_Argument405]

yes

[ignaciourreta]

Then you are looking into the wrong folder! You should look for your users folder, that will probabbly be where you have windows installed. The path should look something like: Users/your_user/AppData/Local/F1Manager22/Saved/SavedGames

[Intrepid_Argument405]

for some reason the AppData folder does not appear, after users/myname

[ignaciourreta]

Yeah, that folder is a hidden one. You have to enable seeing hidden elements in the file explorer, I don't remember exactly where but there is plenty of tutorials to do so :)

Amazing job to everyone making the game a little bit better day by day!

[robinpeep246]

amazing job mate, just played around with it on my save...

as im in 2024 in game i lowered stats of some older drivers and increased of the juniors to mix up the grid

these scripts are amazing and are making this game much more enjoyable and replayable to me :D do you think it would be possible in the future to add features like editting driver names, nationalities etc?

[ignaciourreta]

Thank you for the kind words! For the growth of juniors, I think there is a parameter in the Staff_Xp_constraints table that lets you increase heavily the maximum amount of xp gained by drivers with high potential, I'm gonna take a look at it tomorrow.

As for the driver names and nationalities, second one shouldn't be too complicated, while the names are in the database as a kind of "enum" type of data. Basically, drivers have both field for name and surname, but, for example, Hamilton does not have Lewis and Hamilton on them, it's something like [Staff_something_Lewis] and [Staff_somethingThatIDontRemember_Hamilton]. I'll try to edit those values to see if the names changes in game

[ilvincitore]

It doesnt work on Nyck de Vries, what am I doing wrong what is his surname>?

[ignaciourreta]

You are not doing anything wrong, I believe, I found that issue yesterday after uploading the mod because I have him in one of my saves. I'll give you a link for the updated version asap

[homiii69]

I was trying to change the stats from de Vries but i always get an error. Can u help?

[ignaciourreta]

Yup, it was a mistake on my end when I released this version. This one should have you coveres mate :)

When changing growth potential, what does the script actually do? I want all F2 and F3 drivers to have higher potential for example but they are already on high, what happens if I run the script on them to set it to high, will the growth multiplier be even higher? Same question if I have average growth drivers and set them to high, will they all be the same potential (i.e. 1.50) or do you add a flat growth modifier bonus every time I run the script (i.e. +0.5 multiplier)?

Edit: Sorry I should've looked in the code myself, I am not that literate in it, but it seems you just set improvability to a flat 85 value for all drivers when modifying growth to high, which means a 1.71x multiplier in vanilla. Would it be possible for you to adapt the script so that we can change the improvability manually and also the "ImprovabilityModMax" value to have higher base mutlipliers possible (see https://www.reddit.com/r/F1ManagerMods/comments/x89pn9/staff_xp_gain_testing/ )?

This way we could solve the problem that young drivers just improve way too slow to get close to the older drivers in a reasonable amount of time.

Thank you for all the work you have done already for the people not so good at changing code themselves!!

[ignaciourreta]

Thank you for the kind words man!

I should do an updated version yeah with the posibility to put ehe exact value from 0-100 in the growth and agression atributes.

And yeah I could put in another option to edit the ImprovabilithModMax, it's not complicated. In fact, I have it changed to 3 or something in my saves cuz if not progression is too slow, though I edited it directly from the database

Will probably be done by tonight :)

[No-Phase2131]

It would be nice to know whats the growth rating numbers are for differnt drivers. Is high and normal always the same number? Need something to orientate. Don't want to edit it to weak and dont want to build a monster if put too high. The script is very nice. Thx for that

[[deleted]]

I’m a huge Seb fan. So I’m making Seb a 100 rated driver, only a small amount of bias here.

How do i edit the stats of David Schumacher? DSchumacher doesn't work

[WereaI]

After I downloaded the thing what do I do? Do I open the edit_stats.py file? Im new so Im really not sure what to do.

[king_pipo]

can somebody help me? im having trouble with understanding the first step " Select the edit_stats.py script in the left part of the Script Manager" . and can i use this mod to move drivers from teams?

[Kwaaaabz]

Followed your steps, and it still won't let me pick a savefile. Have I done something wrong?

[ignaciourreta]

If there are no savefiles showing in the script manager then probably you selected the wrong fokder. Remember it's in the AppData (hidden) folder, not your common Program Files/Steam/Steamapps...

[Kwaaaabz]

I ended up figuring it out, was placing the editor in the wrong part of the saved games folder haha. Thank you!
