NCAA Xtreme DB Editor for PS2/PSP/GC/Xbox Generation

[antdroid]

I was able to get the original source code of Madden Xtreme DB Editor and have made some significant changes with the help of elguapo and stingray to improve the editor to specifically address the unique file structure and databases of the NCAA Football games on the PS2-era games.

The editor also now allows for viewing DB2 (Off-Season saves) and full editing. I also added several modules for dynasty gamers to tweak and add more chaos to their dynasty!

Latest Update: https://github.com/antdroidx/NCAA-DB...1.0.8805.42023

• Add Polynesian Surname Module to add Hawaiian/Samoan/etc surnames to western state recruits (Off-Season Module)
• Updated Medical Redshirt Module to allow 10 week+ injuries (In-Season Module) (Rec: Run this at end of reg season, and maybe week 5, 10, etc.)
• Updated dbTools instructions

One of the features I forgot to mention is the ability to transcribe names in the PLAY tables.

The two screenshots below will show this. In the real database, the letters of each name are a numerical value from 0 to 57 (26 upper, 26 lower, and symbols). This updated DB Editor will show the Player Names on the far right side, and that is also editable, and will automatically put the appropriate numbers into the right column to adjust the database.

This version also adds in one of the last features MXDBE added which is the ability to sort and use custom Tables. You can create a csv file with just the table headers, and reorder them how you want and then load this and it'll change the way the tables are viewed!

Just out of curiosity, what are the 58 characters?
Upper-case and lower-case letters would be 52. I'm assuming apostrophe ('), hyphen (-), and comma (,) would be 3 additional characters. That would leave 3 characters remaining. What am I missing?

Thanks to everyone involved for this. I'm going to have to dust of my PS2 and get my dynasties started up again!

56 is a space
0 is nothing, but it tells the game the name stops
