Game tips are certain strings found within PES. They show up during the loading screen before a match starts (usually one or two).
Submitting a game tip
Game tip ideas for major cups may be submitted through the game tip submission form.
Game tip tools
As editing game tips requires changing hundreds of strings following a certain pattern, the process quickly goes beyond what the available string editors offer. Instead, a Python script has been written to deal with them.
usage: writeTips.py [-h] [-s STRS] [-m MAP] [-t TIPS] [-o OUTPUT]
This script reads in an unzlibbed PES strings file, a TSV file mapping between
(gametip) string indexes and gametip numbers, and a TSV file of gametip
headers and bodies. It replaces the existing gametip strings with those from
the input list, then saves the edited string file.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-s STRS, --strs STRS PES strings file [./unzlib_all.str]
-m MAP, --map MAP TSV map between gametip string indexes and gametip
numbers [./gametip_map.txt]
-t TIPS, --tips TIPS TSV list of gametips; the first column is the header,
the second the main body [./gametips.txt]
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Output strings file [./tips.str]The input PES strings file (unzlib_all.str by default) must be extracted from the PES DLC (Data/dt20_eng_x64.cpk is the default English pack; an edited version may be extracted from the 4cc DLC, e.g. 4cc_25_gametips.cpk) and unzlibbed before use. The output strings file should be named /eng/string/all.str when compiled into a CPK.
In order to use the script with a PES20/21 strings file, you will need the 21 gametips map.
Special characters
It is also possible to use special characters (like images of controller buttons) within game tips. See String: Special characters for a list.
