MCO Offline + Anybody still have the final DB?

aqua · Post by **aqua** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 8:29 pm

Anybody still have the final DB? Last I heard you could get MCO Offline at Sonjeir's site right?

I've got an idea... and the last MCO DB plus MCO Offline would tell me if I had some chance at pulling it off. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe the idea isn't worth it, but hell....

little help?

I'd like to extract all the information (parts, cars, everything I can) to an excel file. After that I'd like to start putting it in an SQL database and start learning PHP real fast and see what I can do about making a web based game using the information found there. I know there are a few web based racing games already out there, but I'd like to try it just for the experience of doing some PHP coding.

Looking at MCOOffline the file I'm looking for is
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Motor City Online\Data\DB\Online.mdb

If it's not too large (2MB or less), you can email it to me at mcoaquabats@yahoo.com. If it's bigger than that I can give you a different email to send it to.

Thanks so much.

the file was almost 7 megs, but I compressed it to under 1 meg, so it'll work fine, winrar ok for you? it compresses smaller than regular .zips

it's in your inbox

Thanks very much EP.. Got the file! This is exactly what I was looking for.

I guess I didn't realize you can play with the DB in access (silly me). Maybe somebody that knows ASP and access may have an easier time doing what I want to do with it.

Of course, if I make it all different then EA can't say I'm swiping their stuff.

I really shouldn't have started this... now I have ANOTHER project I will do half assed

think you could send me the Motor City Online\SaveData\DB folder?

Sounds like EP took care of you. I've still got some final db's also if you end up needing anything else. The last one I saved was 44 megabytes. Pretty much everything you did in the game got cached to the local db so I opened up all of my cars parts, went looking through a ton of cars in auto sales and auctions etc.

I could give you the source code to the Garage Saver program also if you'd like it. It's in vb but you can take a look at the queries that match up parts to a specific car (that thing was a bitch to figure out)....that might help get you started.

That sounds like a cool idea....even if it ends up half assed I'd still like to see it

Man i wish there was a way to make mco work offline. I would think that there should be a way cause some of the players were racin on test when servers when down and it stayed up till they turn off computer.

thanks!

The last time I heard you could only use the setups from MCO on that. IT wasn't never meant for you to actually play the game I don't think.
