Jammers Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hello guys, hope you can help me out. Can someone give me an idiots guide on how to use the data editor for fm2010? Whatever changes I make in the editor dont seem to materialise ingame. I'm obviously doing something wrong. I just cant seem to load the database i've edited. It just continues to load up the origional database. I am saving all my changes:confused: thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Taylor Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm having the same problem. I do everything I want to in the editor, save, but the game doesn't even let me select the edited database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidel Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 1) the editor needs to be used before the game is started (just incase you didnt know) 2) unlike last year you dont edit the database, you create add on files - so when you start a new game you select the normal database and then the next screen allows you to pick any 'additional' files - these are the ones that you create.

Might be a noob question, but where on the 2nd screen do you select the add on files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouncer Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Another idiot's question (I ought to know better...), but where is the editor? I can't find it for love nor money at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patelism Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ignore my last post. I figured out how to do it. But how? I've watched the video... and that hasn't made anything clear either... As the start up screen is different!? I think i'm going mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If installed using the Offline activation method the game editor can be found at: Computer > Local Disk (C: > All Programs > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2010 > Tools If installed using the STEAM activation method the game editor can be found at: Computer > Local Disk (C > Program Files > Steam > steamapps > common > football manager 2010 > tools Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWildman Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Jesus Christ. The answer above is sooo wrong. Almost noone (except one guy here) has a problem in finding the editor. The true problem concerns using it. Can you explain, step by step, how to add the previously saved editor data files? I saved everything on a "config.xml" file and now I cannot play the game with my changes. The reason for my reaction is a guess, that polish Football Manager 2010 has (as usual) more bugs than any other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just load up the file you created in the editor, save it as something different, delete the old config.xml and it will make a new one. The above link explains what to do. At least it should.

HALP Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Where you choose database, tick change, then select your edited database Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisWildman Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Sorry, it didn't help. I cannot choose the database at all. There is no box to tick "change". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 That's great! I believe the SI have made a huge mistake by changing the outlook of the editor. It's much less convenient in terms of editing and creating new players. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it is much better to have XML's instead. They mean that you can make a file for (eg) the Egyptian leagues, and use it on the database we have at the moment. But we could also use it on the 10.3.0 database, with all the new transfers. It's much better tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the start up screen is different!?I think i'm going mad. My problem was the little box thingy not appearig when I clicked new game. I went into the idiot's guide they'd made over on the Editor's Forum, and followed their instructions. They said to delete the config file, and now it works perfectly. If your problem was you couldn't find the editor (and I presume you've looked in the obvious place: the start menu) then right click on the FM10 icon, select 'find target', and you should find it there.

ChrisWildman Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Haha! It works! After deleting config.xml, everything goes on very well. Thanks for your help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidel Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Haha! It works! After deleting config.xml, everything goes on very well. Thanks for your help! Go through the editor - save your changes Start a new game - when the box appears in the bottom right hand corner of the little box is a tick box - tick it and when the next screen appears you can add in the changes you made. EDIT - you edited your post as I was posting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammers Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys. Got it sorted now. At first it was not giving me the option to add changes when i was clicking on the "new game" icon. I re-installed the game and it now gives me the option to add my changes:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themistofelis Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Sorry to say but the whole thought about the editor may be of good intentions but it didn't turn up nice , i am creating xhtml or whatever files and when i am choosing one the others don't load , i want the ability to save everything into 1 freaking db not having to chose stupid files that erase one another.
