Staff record
staff is the non-playing subtype of person: people this export decoded as staff
rather than as players. It is only one of the three places a career can live. Plenty of well-known managers
have no staff row at all — some are stored as players, and many sit in
person_unclassified, whose subtype the decoder could not determine. Whichever table a person
is in, their jobs come from staff_history joined to job_type, which is the table
below.
- Current ability
- 110
- Potential ability
- 130
- Home reputation
- 110
- Current reputation
- 0
- World reputation
- 0
- International appearances
- 0
- Coaching qualification
- 2
Ability and the three reputations are the raw game figures, which run to roughly 200 rather than to 20 —
they are printed exactly as stored and nothing is converted. coaching_qualification is a badge
level with no lookup table in the export, so it is shown as the stored number and no name is invented for it.
Appearance
- Ethnicity code
- 0
- Hair colour code
- 14
- Hair length code
- 6
- Skin tone code
- 4
Raw codes from the source. The export carries no lookup table for any of them, so they are shown as stored and are not given names.
