wfc Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 change the team colours on the editor so that it takes affect on a saved game? i have started a new game with man city, and i forgot how hard it is on the eye to read the default light blue on white when reading the commentry in a match. i changed the blue colour to something slightly darker on the editor, loaded up my saved game again and (as expected) the man city colours (white and light blue) have not changed. any way i can sort this out? any help from SI moderaters would be great too! thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You can't. You'll have to wait for FMM for 09 to appear. Man City, Dortmund, Barcelona are just a few of the teams it's impossible to manage because the text is almost invisible or the combination gives you a headache. You can do it in the editor but you have to be quite brutal with the contrast. Adjust the Man City white to black and it's nicely visible Sorry I'm not a moderator, but the answer is the same.

VonBlade Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It's a "live" editor. There are others but that's the only one that allows you to change colours, as far as I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfc Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 oh i see, so changes that you make in FFM affect a saved game? when do you think this will appear? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 That's the magic question. When the gentleman who codes it, codes it. Could be anything from a week to never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robzilla Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 oh i see, so changes that you make in FFM affect a saved game?when do you think this will appear? You can also change club colours using the fake.lnc file, I can't remember the exact syntax now but it's pretty easy, you just need the ID of the club (use "Show Unique IDs" or use the editor) and the RGB values of the new colours you want to use. Maybe take a look or ask in the Editors Hideaway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robzilla Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've got to keep my karma balanced somehow, so I've decided to be uber-helpful and dig out the code for you. I've not done this on 09 but it worked on 08, 07, 06, 05 so I can't see why 09 should be any different. Here is the code you need: "COLOUR_CHANGE" 9999 0 191 0 51 7 37 149 Where 9999 is the unique ID of the club, the number immediately after that should be 0 for home, 1 for away or 2 for third kit. The next three are the RGB values for the background colour, followed by the RGB values for the text colour. So, if you want to change Man City for example to have a red background with yellow text you would use the following code: "COLOUR_CHANGE" 679 0 255 0 0 255 255 0 Reading left to right: 679 = the unique ID for Man City 0 = home kit (where the game gets the team colours from) 255 0 0 = the RGB values for bright red 255 255 0 = the RGB values for bright yellow Hope that's all clear, let me know if you need any more help.

Get this file: http://www.zen102391.zen.co.uk/fm/mancity.lnc 2. Put it in this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2009\data\updates\update-910\db\910\lnc\all (that's the folder you need if you're using Steam and have the patch, if you're not using Steam or don't have the patch, it will be a different folder but I don't know where, sorry) And.. yeah that should do it. Restart FM I think for it to take effect, might not even need to do that. [EDIT 18:42] I've just updated that file, I had the colours the wrong way round so you'd get black background and sky blue text, I have corrected it now. The file should read: "COLOUR_CHANGE" 679 0 0 0 0 182 214 228 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
