SWOS '94 v1.1 Database Dump

Hello there. This site contains a dump of the Sensible World of Soccer '94 v1.1 player database.

Most of the other SWOS database sites on the net are for 95/96, or something even more modern, which is great and all (the stuff they've all worked out and documented about the game let me make this after all) but 95/96 wasn't the version I was playing and there are differences between the databases that makes planning a career mode in '94 (v1.1) more challenging

There is a download that contains this site for offline viewing as well 4 CSV files that you can do what you want with.

  1. Complete - All the players in the game regardless of where they're from
  2. JustCareerClubs - All the players from teams active in career mode, so no national team players or custom team players
  3. JustCustom - All the players in the original custom teams
  4. JustNations - Solely the players in the national team squads

Stats

It's well known that SWOS stores attrbutes in two ranges, 0-7 and 8-15, for some reason. For easier comparison, the site normalises all stats to the range 0-7. The CSV files contain both raw (whatever the value in the data file is) and normalised stats

There are no bargain players. A player's value is determined by how many attribute points he has. They can be distrbuted many different ways, but if a player has 10 points in total, his value is always 130K

How To Do It

  1. Get the ADF Files for the version you want to dump
  2. Install ADFView
  3. Double click the SWOS Disk 2 ADF in File Explorer
  4. Right click the data directory, Copy, Paste it somewhere on your hard drives
  5. The data files are compressed so download RNC Propacker and extract it. Move the rnc_propack_x64.exe file into the data folder you pasted
  6. Hold shift on the key board and right click the data folder you pasted earlier, select Copy Full Path. Release shift
  7. Hold the Windows key and press R. Release the Windows key. Type "cmd" (no quotes) in the new box that appeared and press enter
  8. In the black window that shows up, type "cd " (no quote) then right click, click Paste if a menu shows up, then press enter
  9. Type or copy these (one at a time) into the cmd window and press enter after each one
  10. mkdir decomp
    for %a in (*.0*) do rnc_propack_x64.exe u %a ./decomp/%a
    
  11. You should now have a decomp directory inside the data directory that looks like it contains all of the same TEAM.000 type files. These are the decompressed ones that can be inspected by appropriate tools
  12. Download and extract SWOSToCSV and drag and drop the swos data folder onto SWOSToCSV.exe. swosdata.csv will be created in the data directory
