ruttiger_ruttiger Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I have been trying to place Israel back in Asia, replacing the empty slot in Europe with Kosovo. Kosovo is working fine, but Israeli teams aren't qualifying for Asian club competitions (but i have succesfully prevented them from Euro comps). The Israeli national team is in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup...i can't work out the problem. Any suggestions??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fairbairn Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Asian continental club tournaments are hard coded. You could just move them back to Europe and it will be fine. Europe can take up to 2 more nations without crashing. Hell you can even add like Brazil or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttiger_ruttiger Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 That's a shame...i was hoping that it would kick-in in maybe the second or third season of play. I might try a league or TLA swap with another country already in it...this might achieve my aim. Ultimately i was considering putting Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and maybe even Turkey into Asia to bolster it a bit (moving a few countries into Oceania like Brunei, East Timor to make room) and make it more interesting (i am Australian, so play a lot of A-League). So if there was a quick easy fix it would have been better...hopefully i can find a country that is crap with a TLA that won't irritate if Israel is associated with it (eg To create Kosovo I added Czechoslovakia back into database and changed the name, but kept the TLA whihc was CVO as i recall, which wasn't that different). I have swapped Australia before and it is strange to have a TLA like MAL or SIN to be associated with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fairbairn Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Unfortunately TLA swap doesn't do anything. It's completely related to the country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Originally posted by Tom Leeburn:would it be possible to remove the state of israel? Yes, as long as you replace it with another country in Europe I should think it would work with no problems at all. ruttiger_ruttiger: Why not just completely swap over the details of Israel and an Asian nation to get around the hardcoding?

fraudiay79 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 getting back to the topic. the best way is to swap israel with some other asian nation. i would recommend trying the maldives or nepal, as there aren't too many players or clubs from those countries in the database, thus making the task less time consuming. it will also ensure that israel is represented through western asia in continental competitions. although they might not start off in the asian champions league (most probably asian presidents cup), based on their FIFA rankings in the game they should move up within three seasons. I tried that and it worked for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttiger_ruttiger Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks for the help people, i am working on it slowly as i have been working a lot recently. I would also like to ask for the moderators to remove those ugly posts by Tom Leeburn and charlieparr123. I find them offensive and i am not even Jewish or Israeli. That sort of thing should not be tolerated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I dont want to start an argument but why are you adding Kosovo? I dont think they will be part of FIFA for a long time since official they arent even a country yet because they aren't a part of the UN and they aren't even recognised by the UN.

Switzerland weren't a part of the UN until 2004, did that mean that they weren't a country? You're probably right, but I was under the impression that Kosovo was recognised by the UN, after all it is recognised by NATO, which contains at least 2 of the members of the UN Security Council. It's only Russia and Serbia that continue to refuse to recognise them isn't it, and that's only because Russia have been politically up Serbia's backside for over a century now. Besides, you'd cause problems if you took a country out of Europe but didn't replace it (although Europe is flexible enough to be able to take on more countries I don't think the game likes a reduced number), so Kosovo is the best candidate for a new nation, probably followed by the Isle of Man or perhaps Monaco if you really wanted to stretch the boundaries of realism.

Russia's reason for doing so isnt just an alliance with Serbia but also then places like Chechnia will want to be independent and also China will have problems with Tibet and also some areas in the west. I love how the US and others like to say that its not a precedent when in fact it is. You cant set a precedent and then state that its not a precedent. If you allow Kosovo independence then overnight another 50 countries will need to be accepted as independent countries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttiger_ruttiger Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I only chose Kosovo because i had to replace Israel with something and they seemed like the best candidate at the time. It was never my intention for this to get as political as it seems to have become. It was a simple editing question and since i know a few people have created new countries in the past i thought they could provide some helpful information.

The Internet Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 As someone who plays a lot of games in Switzerland, I'm interested in replacing Israel with Kosovo, as many Kosovar refugees are now playing football in the Swiss lower leagues. How were the regens? Did they have somewhat accurate names? Any quality ones? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttiger_ruttiger Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 I am a little naive as to whether they were or not...they seemed reasonably good but i lack the skills to differentiate between many Eastern European type names (kinda like how others may have difficulty discerning between Scottish, Irish,English and Welsh names). All in all though, the names did seem reasonably appropriate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
