SI Staff Olly Kenney Posted November 13, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted November 13, 2008 The ability to Edit Player, Manager and Club data is again possible for FMH2009, with the option to now Edit Player Common Names now an option The user is able to edit Club or Player information using a text file which is placed on the Memory Stick. This allows the user to update the game database and these changes will take effect when they start a new game. To do this the user needs to create a file called 'changes.txt' and place it in the following location on the Memory Stick: PSP\COMMON\FMH2009\changes.txt When the user starts a new game, the information found within 'changes.txt' is loaded in and the edits to the club or players found within the file are carried out on the database. The 'changes.txt' file does not affect existing save games. Club Changes The format for editing Club data in the 'changes.txt' file is as follows: "CLUB" "Current Club Short Name" "Nation" "New Club Full Name" "New Club Short Name" "New Reputation" "New Division" Example: To edit Leyton Orient's club name to 'Orient' , with a short name of 'The O's', a reputation of '5000' and then to put them in the 'Coca-Cola Championship' at the start of the game, the following information would be put into the 'changes.txt' file: "CLUB" "Leyton Orient" "England" "Orient" "The O's" "5000" "Coca-Cola Championship" Note: The user will need to ensure the correct number of teams is playing in the competitions when swapping teams between divisions. If the user only wanted to change Leyton Orient's name to 'Orient', the following information would be put into the 'changes.txt' file: "CLUB" "Leyton Orient" "England" "Orient" "" "" "" The user can use empty quotation marks ("") to ensure a field remains unchanged from its original database form. Player Changes The format for editing Player data in the 'changes.txt' file is as follows: "PLAYER" "First Name" "Second Name" "Current Club Short Name" "New First Name" "New Second Name" "New Common Name" "New Year of Birth" "New CA" "New PA" "New Club Short Name" Example: To edit the data of Bobby Zamora so that his name becomes 'Zobby Bamora', has a Common Name of 'Goal', was born in '1975', has a current ability of '180', a potential ability of '200' and starts at Brighton at the beginning of the game, the following information would be put into the 'changes.txt' file: "PLAYER" "Bobby" "Zamora" "Fulham" "Zobby" "Bamora" "Goals" "1975" "180" "200" "Brighton" If the user only wanted to move Bobby Zamora from Fulham to Brighton at the start of the game, the following information would be put into the 'changes.txt' file: "PLAYER" "Bobby" "Zamora" "Fulham" "" "" "" "" "" "" "Brighton" The user can use empty quotation marks ("") to ensure a field remains unchanged from its original database form. Manger Changes The format for editing Manager data in the 'changes.txt' file is as follows: "MANAGER" "First Name" "Second Name" "Current Club Short Name" "New First Name" "New Second Name" "New Year of Birth" "New CA" "New PA" "New Club Short Name" Example: To edit the data of Harry Redknapp so that he starts as Tottenham manager at the beginning of the game, the following information would be put into the 'changes.txt' file: "MANAGER" "Harry" "Redknapp" "Portsmouth" "" "" "" "" "" "Tottenham" The user can use empty quotation marks ("") to ensure a field remains unchanged from its original database form. Ignoring Entries in 'changes.txt' The game can also ignore entries in the 'changes.txt' file by placing the hash symbol (#) at the beginning of the line (and removing the need to delete the file from the Memory Stick). Example: The following information in the 'changes.txt' file would see Leyton Orient's and Juande Ramos' changes ignored. In this case, the game would not read their entries and they would remain the same. Bobby Zamora's entry however would be altered successfully and he would start the game at Brighton. #"CLUB" "Leyton Orient" "England" "Orient" "The O's" "5000" "Coca-Cola Championship" "PLAYER" "Bobby" "Zamora" "West Ham" "" "" "" "" "" "Brighton" #"MANAGER" "Harry" "Redknapp" "Portsmouth" "" "" "" "" "" "Tottenham" Notes The user can create up to but no more than 100 brand new player names which don't already exist in the database. For example, if you changed 'Smith' to 'Zamora', this would not count as a new player name as 'Zamora' already exists. If you changed 'Ledley' to 'Peter Pan', then this name is unlikely to exist and will count as 1 out of 100 spaces allocated for new names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaugranista Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Olly, Hey, Marc had said "Should be made available today (on both PC and Mac) if Duffster can find time to upload it." What's with this Duffster, anyway? We hope to have the Editor available in the near future. I'm afraid I can't give an exact day or time at the moment.

Glenn Stiemens Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm sorry that the editor isn't available for download yet - unfortunately Mr Duffy is a very busy man so hasn't had chance to upload the editor yet. For now your best bet is to follow the instructions Olly has posted with regards to manually creating EDT files. Alternatively sit back, relax and give the game a decent play whilst you wait. As soon as the editor is uploaded (and as Olly said, we don't when that will be) we'll be sure to post on these forums to let you all know. Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O\'Hara_fan Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I don't think its the end of the world if its not done today/tommorow (for me at least anyways ), I'm pretty sure 9/10 people would rather play around with the game first, try it out and then edit stuff.

Leedscon Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 i decided not to wait for the editor, most things i changed worked except transfering players to my Leeds team. i changed the names of 4 players and tried to transfer 3 of them to Leeds but only the name change worked, the only one which worked was kandol to elliott (already at Leeds). any ideas i tried the club names "Leeds United" & "Leeds" neither works thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leedscon Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 think i can answer my own question i started a new game using only England (all other leagues disabled) & no changes text all the players that were missing were now in the team (White, Parker, Elliott & Gardner) so i believe it had something to do with the fact they were in the database already just not listed as yet. if it worked i would probably have had two of each player in the future!

Techz Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Is it just me or can you with the editor go through the players list and pick out all the youngsters with low current ability and buy the ones you know that have a high potential ability? :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyboy72 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hi There, this is the firswt time I have tried to edit onFMH. I have created the file "changes.txt" and have tried to put stevie gerrard into west hams team just to try it. Do I enter the details in notepad? Then enter the details as follows: "PLAYER""Steven"Gerrard""Liverpool""""""""West Ham United" When I save the notepad, what do I name the file? I have tried to save as".txt" but it will not allow me to save unless I re-name the file.Please Help.Many Thanx. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJGB Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 "PLAYER" "Steven" "Gerrard" "Liverpool" "" "" "" "" "" "" "West Ham" You save it as 'changes.txt' without the quotations. If that doesn't work, either try the one below, or wait for a more experienced editor (like Crickie / Ridley) to offer their help. I tend to leave the edits to their updates / challenges.

Ianinuk Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I got the game today and I want the Premiership teams to have the right managers. As far as I can see it's just Portsmouth and Tottenham that are wrong. I have this from the example: "MANAGER" "Harry" "Redknapp" "Portsmouth" "" "" "" "" "" "Tottenham" But how would you have Tony Adams as Portsmouth manager? Is he already a manager somewhere else in the game? And if he didn't exist as a manager, would it not be possible to add him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argamas Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hello there, I hope you can help me with two questions: 1) Is there a file with all the players in the database? Since you cannot edit position, it would be nice to see all strikers e.g. to make sure you use/edit the useless ones for more promising ones 2) it is possible to make up to 100 new names. That means changes to new names, not new entries, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means changes to new names, not new entries, right? to your questions 1. there is an editor with all the players names and and there current and potential ability but not there positions 2. These means changing players names who are already on the game to different players not creating new ones hope this helps daniel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argamas Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks for your answer. Regarding my first question, I meant something different. The editor does not show managers, nor positions of players and you can only see players by country. I was looking for a full list (Excel, txt) of players/managers with positions and possibly CA/PA, so I can see which players can be used to edit. So I'll use the crappy ones to make other more usefull players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The editor does give each players ca/pa next them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
