Misc F1 2020 Names and Teams Changer v2.4

[Electronics]

Electronics submitted a new resource:

F1 2020 Names and Teams Changer - Tool for changing custom names and teams in F1 2020

This is a memory editing tool to allow for the names, teams and driver tags in the F1 2020 game to be changed. No messing around in cheat engine required! The code is open source written in C#, and is probably a little hacky in places, but should work for the most part - if it doesn't, please submit a bug report on github and I'll try to look at it.

I wrote this rather than using cheat engine, as I felt the scripting tools availble in cheat engine was rather limited.

For the latest info...

Interesting, interesting. I wish we would just find a way to just overwrite the value of the language file name in the memory right when the application gets started. That way we could make the game look for a different one and have that one moddable in open space.

E: I mean in the end, if your tool would for example look for language_ger.lng in the correct region, so we could replace the string with language_deu.lng, then (I think) we would be able to use F1 2020\localisation\2020_release\language_deu.lng as a new file (and the language files have been exported, so they are available); which then can be freely edited with the language file editor. (same with the other additional 10 language files)

First of all, great job mate, amazing. I have 2 issues that you may know how to solve:

• Team names are not changed in my case, you can see my txt file below.
• And the other thing is that it fails to find Game Region.

First of all, great job mate, amazing. I have 2 issues that you may know how to solve:

• Team names are not changed in my case, you can see my txt file below.
• And the other thing is that it fails to find Game Region.

The thing with the GameRegion is already solved, but haven't managed to change team names yet...

Changes on selection screen only

 

[magicalo_14]

Changes on selection screen only

Doesn't work for me... And also the thing with the Game Region keeps happening, it works well like 1 out of 7 times

 

[Molda222]

Is there any possibility to make this work on DX11? lot of people are using Dx11 version of the game because Dx12 is unstable and can cause crashes. BTW absolutely amazing idea. THanks for your work

 

[EnriqueBanderas]

Agree with DX11, I need to use it for lags and stability. Later on I wil try it with DX12

Edit: red disclaimer "could not find process, has process being stopped"

annnd that update broke the names in the character selection screen, ooops

Take your time,we know it takes time and patience to get it going.I know something about it lol

Hm, it looks like I might need to expand the region it searches for in memory. Is your game up to date? If someone could try looking for the memory offsets the classic way through Cheat Engine if it fails to find the regions, that would be most helpful so I can build those in.

 

[ParkYongLee]

if your tool would for example look for language_ger.lng in the correct region, so we could replace the string with language_deu.lng, then (I think) we would be able to use F1 2020\localisation\2020_release\language_deu.lng as a new file (and the language files have been exported, so they are available); which then can be freely edited with the language file editor. (same with the other additional 10 language files)

@Electronics any comment on that? Possible, yes, no? Might even be easier to replace the string \localisation\2020_release\ with \localisation\202X_modfile\ so just one version would already be enough.

Maybe it's because I have the game in Spanish? Would be strange as the driver names are changed correctly.

And about the Game Region, I have my game up to date (1.17 version). I have a cheat engine script for spanish, tell me if you want to take a look at the addresses. I've noticed that the thing with the game region causes the names to not be changed in driver tags or in career menus

 

[peppepino]

did'nt work for me with the text files modified in the application
did work if i modified the txt file BEFORE loading in the application and then your wonderful app did the rest
good job mate! thx!

 

[Electronics]

Ahh, yes I haven't looked at the game in other languages. If you could send me the cheat engine script that would be a good starting point. Hopefully the memory structures should all be the same, just moved in memory.

Fixes bugs relating to names, and GUI elements

Now even with unbroken code. Still investigating some game's memory locations being in odd places that my tool doesn't detect.
