| Post subject: | Relationships between jockeys, owners and trainers |
Posted this on Game Mods but maybe this thread is more appropriate. I am currently building up the data files for UK jockeys, owners and trainers for the grand mod with simpleminds, mjtags11 and myself. However, I am running into problems with allocating the owners and trainers to jockeys in a way that is realistic. The game engine only allows for 1:1 relationships so one owner (set of silks) to one jockey/trainer. Given that owners have horses with several different trainers and vice versa along with the fact that some jockeys are retained by owners which makes them ride for different trainers, it makes it difficult to maintain realism. So would it be possible for an update to enable a many-to-many relationship between owners, trainers and jockeys. So if we have, for example, one jockey riding for the Queen but the Queen has horses with four trainers, the game engine can divide the Queen's horses by four and distribute them to each of the trainers. The same principle for a trainer that has several owners as many of the top trainers do and for jockeys that ride for different trainers. So, in an owner entry in owners.db, we might have: The Queen 10,R Moore,J Doyle,D Tudhope A trainer entry might look like: J Gosden 10,R Moore;15,P Cosgrave;25,J Crowley Just a suggestion but it will be awesome if the game can allow for this. |

I Wholeheartedly agree. Following on from this, our stable would then have multiple colours depending on who owned each individual horse instead of the current one silk covers all our runners. |
