William Hall Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 this is a good idea. Should save "Has anyone made Tier 19 English League.etc" threads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yeh, great idea. I'm working on an 11 or 12 tier British League. Can you recommend an upload site, since I've never uploaded anything before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Bladesman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 What we do then need however is some sort of way of moderating content... How will people know which are the good downloads and which to avoid? One thing I would suggest is that any file being recommended in here should have been run in holiday mode through to at least 2012, i.e. 3 seasons. That should be time enough for its creator to have found any kinks etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some way of knowing how much detail has been added - how much research into squads, stadia, finances etc or are they left to the AI? Are there fictional teams included etc etc. In time people will review and rate the content, hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_neil41 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Where exactly do the XML files go. I have created a league and have saved it and when I load the game it doesn't show any option for additional leagues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Bladesman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You'll need to save any edited files in My Docs\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\editor data When you load FM10, you might need to clear your cache: go to Preferences and untick Use Skin Cache and tick Always Reload Skin On Confirm. Confirm, then Start a New Game... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bladesman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Did you just add the competition, or did you also Add or Edit the Nation Rules as well? You need to do both to activate the league, set up its rules etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_neil41 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yer I've just made the leagues go lower in England. Added all the rules in to tie in, editor said there were no issues or whatever but it don't seem to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bladesman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Your file looks fine, Matt. The only thing I would suggest is that you change the number of relegation places at Level 7 to zero, since you've not added the leagues below... If that doesn't solve it, it sounds more like your problem is at the game end - what happens when you Start a New Game? It doesn't give the option to load the xml at all? I should say, I'm at work - I don't have access to the game to try and load it myself here. I will try that when I get home, if you're still having bother.

matt_neil41 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Sorry mate, went out but what it is. You know beneath the tabs there are the next options?

Super Bladesman Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It still sounds like you need to clear you cache tbh - did you definitely absolutely try that? go to Preferences and untick Use Skin Cache and tick Always Reload Skin On Confirm. Confirm, then Start a New Game... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_neil41 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yer definately done that, tried it with it ticked as well just in case clearing it was not working.

ATW Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Quick question: As many will know the District Cups are now available to activate in the Scottish Leagues. What I want to know is it possible to create District Cups while not removing the clubs from their actual leagues? (for example creating the Lanarkshire Cup with Motherwell, Accies, Airdrie United, Albion Rovers etc. without removing them from the SPL, First Division and Third Division - as the Lanarkshire Cup is not in the DB)?

(for example creating the Lanarkshire Cup with Motherwell, Accies, Airdrie United, Albion Rovers etc. without removing them from the SPL, First Division and Third Division - as the Lanarkshire Cup is not in the DB)? You just set them up as cups, either an FA Cup (the main cup with qualification to the contintental competition), other cup (such as the League Cup) or a super cup (eg Community Shield). From there you can either add specific leagues to select the teams from or specific clubs, which is ideal for district cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kezmanomania Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi, I would like to get some help from someone who knows how to solve this problem. I'm a big fan of the Balkan leagues like Croatia, Serbia, Romania... Now I wanted to create a little tournament where the champions of 10 countries(Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Albania) will meet. I want to put the champions in 2 groups of 5 teams where each team will play the other one ONCE. The top teams of both groups will play in the final. This could be used as the pre season friendly competition. I don't want to delete any existing league's... I tried to do this with the editor but I don't know how to create inter-national competitions. So... Who can help me?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to do this with the editor but I don't know how to create inter-national competitions. So... Who can help me?! The process to do this is as follows: 1) Create your new competition. Ensure you do not add teams. Ensure you attribute this competition to one of the ten nations i.e Croatia. 2) Add Nation rules for Croatia(or nation you have added to competition) and add as 'other Cup' 3) when doing the very first stages of adding cup only add croatian top league and add 10 teams. 4) once competition added to cup list start doing fiddley bits. i.e change the croatian league entrants to 1 and then add 9 more on list and add specifc league(select premier leagues for the nations entered) from here you should be good to go and edit the other areas of the competition. If you are still stuck I can cobble together a demo versionfor you to look at tonight and email it to you....just PM me if needed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtyscarab Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi Mr. Bladesman Sir. Into what directory do we install the custom leagues? Also, in Miles' blogs we heard from lots of beta testers creating leagues (mainly Lev. 10 English) I was wondering if any of them will be posting their custom content when the game goes officially 'live' @ midnight? I'd quite like one of their custom db's as they would have gone through more rigorous testing, I suspect... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will add: SPL 1st Division 2nd Division 3rd Division CIS Cup Challenge Cup (all unmodified) Scottish Cup (new version that includes correct non-league teams plus 6 bonus entrants) PLUS West Region Junior Leagues (Premier + Div 1 + 3 regional leagues) East Region Junior Leagues (Superleague + Premier + 3 regional leagues) North Region Junior Leagues (Premier + Div 1 + Div 2) Highland League + Aberdeenshire League + Highland U19s East of Scotland Premier + Div 1 + U19s South of Scotland League North Caledonian League plus 43 cups I have also added in all officials for Senior non-league football (stands at 200+) and will add in the remaining Junior refs shortly. All competitions have correct honours assigned. Team information has been updated, a few stadium names altered from db because of changes or mistakes, all teams have more or less correct pitch sizes.

Jorge Campos Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 How about an official thread for competition files that DO NOT TOUCH THE DATABASE. We need a way to distinguish between realistic files that only unlock leagues and those that also include data updates. Personally I do not want my database modified by any third party files.
