FM15 Editor and In-Game Editor Details

http://www.footballmanager.com/news/game-and-data-editor-blog

Well, that was an experiment that worked well.

With FM14 we took the plunge and released our first official in-game editor – it had been something I’d always been against as personally I’m a purist and want people to play the game “properly”. But who am I to stop people “accelerating their progress” should they want to? Or to “fix” data errors to ensure that their favourite player is now massively over-rated?

It did very well. More than well enough for us to not only make another one, but also add in loads of things that you, the people who use it for whatever reason (definitely not cheating – oh no, no one would do that), have asked for.

Drumroll please...

You can now edit contract types, plus bonuses and clauses

You can edit rivalries and favoured personnel. Both for players and clubs

You can “freeze attributes” meaning players will get no better, and no worse

New search filters – search by Current Ability and Potential Ability and all other hidden attributes. Or add them as custom columns. Or use the hidden attributes view

Change player registrations and squad numbers at any time

Transfer staff

Edit hair and skin colour, plus height and weight

You can edit languages - for people and nations

We’ve also made it easier to edit a players nationality

Finally, you can edit generic kits

All for the same price as the in-game editor last year.

It will be available from the in-game store at the games launch.

But, you ask, what about the competition & data editor?

For a start, and to confirm, that will remain free and available as a download for anyone who has bought FM15. It can be found in your Steam library under tools – or will be available there once the game is released. Thanks for all the continued feedback which helps steer what we add to it each year.

I’ve split this into 3 sections

New searches

Clubs – Local Region

People – Ethnicity, Skin Tone, Hair Colour

Contract end date

None playing history contains (team)

New editing options

Option to set a host national in continental club competitions

Option to prevent teams from playing in 2 continental coups at the same time

Golden Glove award now works

New sub rule – 3+GK from 9

When setting up a new competition – choose template.

Group stages for playoffs

Set points for draws, losses and goals

New suspension options

Other stuff

“Cancel” button

Auto save

Words now used instead of numbers for language proficiency

Recommended Current Ability

You can also now “publish to workshop” when saving an editor file.

Improved help system to better indicate when you're going to break the game with your data changes.

Happy editing!

WOW,i like,,,,,,,,,,,,,normally wait till last patch but might buy it sooner this time!

I have asked this on the sticky-''thanks for posting details regarding the new products, there is a lot of us over in the editors hideaway as excited by the release of the editor as the game:o just a couple of questions can you explain what this means please -''When setting up a new competition – choose template''. Have the bugs that could not be addressed in the last FM14 patch been looked at:) and I haven't used the RTE just wanted to know if you can transfer/loan players and staff. Cheers thanks in advance:thup:'' I suggest if anyone has a comment/question raise it now....like you Ringwood I have ordered now and will also give RTE a go

Curious what kind of templates they have included. Very Nice additions as it will make competition editing better and easier by taking out the guessing. Cool to see that quite a lot of requested features have been inclused.

I would have killed for recommended CA in previous editors. Already happy!

Competition templates are also promising, if they are what I think they are.

As with the features that have been communicated for the game, the list of features for the editor isn't necessarily complete.

Hopefully it isn't and we get some pleasant surprises.

Very underwhelmed to be honest. Oh well.

Looks like you can edit kits.

I'm looking forward to putting some truly hideous combinations together if that's the case

Have stickied the thread and adjusted the OP to contain the blog

Looks like this year the editor will be as it should have been last year, a very good product.

I like it and can't wait to download it.

So besides recommended CA still being insanely awesome - does it work for coaches/scouts/board or just players?

Is match prep editable yet?

What do the 'Show all players in search' and 'Show all staff in search' options do?

For you guys that have tried FM 15. Have the Editor been released? If so, what's your honest say about this years Editor?

Pros and cons would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Editor is out, there's a feedback thread here: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/405282-FM15-pre-game-editor-feedback-thread

I'd like to know if the FM15 editor allows users to:

- mass increase the same amount of CA/PA (i.e. mass increase 15 points of CA for 100 players, even though their CA are all different) as long as the final CA does not exceed the final PA.

- properly change the structure of European Champions League or Asian Champions League etc

?

Thanks!

Answer to your first question is yes, but you'll need to bring the PA in line with the CA yourself. Not sure on the second question as I haven't tried it myself

thanks mate

Can't figure out difference between fmf and xml files? Sometimes it saves to either file.

And what is difference between import/load editor data? I know import loads xml and load editor data loads fmf... But why the two options?

Very confusing loading and saving system.

.fmf is the new format for editor files this year. Import loads older files (.dbc/.xml) as they are still supported by the editor but the game will need them in .fmf format

Hi,I have now found the editor so could someone please tell me how to use it,b ecause every time I change anything and I try to save (in save only)nothing happebns and when I use SAVE AS it saves every change singularly,it does not ask if I want use same save,Please help.

I can´t buy the ingame editor. i get this error : can't connect error code 1000

i have a mac

The publish to Workshop option from the Official Editor does not work at all.

There are currently no League and Data files in the workshop so everyone must have this issue, I hope they patch it soon.

I cannot see my .fmf file in game editor data file selection page. Any ideas?

The same is happening with me. Mac too btw.

I cannot see my .fmf file in game editor data file selection page. Any ideas?

Go to the folder, where You chose to save Your savegames. Then check if it has a sub-folder called "editor data". If not, create it. And then copy Your fmf file to that folder. You'll be able to choose your file before the game starts. Hope that it helps.

That did not helped. The .dbc files in this folder can be selected in the game but unfortunately .fmf files cannot.

It's strange, as my newly created FMF became visible after being copied there, the same is with SI's Gibraltar file... But You don't select it in Settings/Additional Files section, but New Career/Editor Data Files.

Hi. My problem is that I have everything with FM on D: (wich is a normal disk), while for some reason the editor automatically saves my editor files on c: (wich is my ssd-disk). Is there some how I can change the destination for where the editor files are saved?

For the Mac users having issues, SI are aware and it will be looked at. You'll just have to be patient for now I'm afraid.

Apaco- when you save choose "save as", then browse to the directory you wish to save to. There isn't an easy option like in the game to specify the folder unfortunately

why is the editor not showing up to download in the tools section of steam? where is it

Hi and thanks for your reply.

My problem is that when I choose "save as" I get no option to browse for my wanted directory. Strange...

Can you see a button that says "public" to the bottom right? If you click on that can you choose a directory through that?

Have you activated your full-game Steam code from your retailer?

Can you see a button that says "public" to the bottom right? If you click on that can you choose a directory through that?

Yeah I see the public button. When choosing that I can only choose to change from public to "friends only" or "hidden", but I cant find any place where I can choose directory?

No because i cannot find where to put the code in steam all it says is play now there is nowhere asking for a code

just found out its ok now

Odd, I can't find anything either looking at it here. Think you'll have to just manually move it after you save it, which isn't exactly ideal.

Agree with you Thanks for taking time to help me!

No problem, hopefully that functionality gets restored in a later update

Quickie!!

To change rules for say the English Premiership you have to select England as the nation to eventually make changes.

Which nation do I search for to change data for the Champions League?

Or can I just search directly for this under competition?

How do you search by PA?
