WeOptEditor (We8-PES4 edition)

WeOptEditor (We8-PES4 edition) is a front-end editor for Winning eleven 8 option files. Because edition in WE is not very easy ( I never like edit attributes or names with gamepad), WeOptEditor may help you to create the ultimate option file with just a click'n go. It can help you also to transfert the players you created into the club team

WeOptEditor is freeware. This means that the usage of this program is free, although I reserve for myselft the distribution rights.
No profit can be obtained from the distribution of this tools or the materials resulting from its use.
This software is distributed as it is, so I do not accept any responsiblity of any kind if damage of any kind is caused from the use of this program, may it be direct or indirect.

Direct links to WeOptEditor should be avoided. If you want to host original files downloaded here on your own site, it would be appreciated that you ask before doing it, and you must mention their origin.

It is strongly recommanded that you make a backup copy of any file you wish to edit.
