EDIT File

By default, when you generate a new EDIT file, the game for some reason doesn't include the player data.
So it will always load the data from the database instead of modified EDIT data.
It also crashes the save editor due of no players being in the EDIT file.

In order to fix the EDIT file you need to:

Decrypt it with pesXdecrypter using the decrypter19.exe executable.
Open data.dat file with your favourite hex editor.
Go to the 0x60 offset and set the player count necessary. In my case it's 5060 which is 0xC413 converted to hexadecimal.
Generate player edit data using the player_edit_19.py script.
Copy the data from the Player_Edit.bin file to the 0x7C offset of data.dat and save.
Now encrypt it with pesXdecrypter using the encrypter19.exe executable.
You should now have a working EDIT file.

Note

The hexadecimal in the EDIT file is using the little endian byte order.

Caution

Make sure you replace existing bytes, don't insert new bytes.
