Nicky Salapu Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 @Mrt90: You gotta edit the stages.xml file in your editor folder and enable them. OK, my newest experiment: 1) Nation called "World" created in Oceania instead of extinct South Vietnam 2) Using advanced panel I created some competitions: a) Stray Club Championship (consisting of teams grouped in "A Premier Division" with highest reputation) b) Stray Second Division (the name has it all...) c) Ultra Mega Hyper Cup And let's talk abot UMHC for a while: Structure: 1) Preliminary stage => First Prel. Round, Second Prel. Round (200 teams altogether) 2) Group stage (18 groups of 8 teams) => 36 best teams are promoted 3) Second stage => First Round, Second Round => 9 teams left 4) Second group stage (1 group of 9) => first two teams are promoted 5) Final PROBLEMS I NEED YOU TO HELP ME WITH AFTER DOWNLOADING AND OPENING THE FILE: 1) There is no media prediction in the league and all boards want me to win the championship (LEAGUES) 2) No past winners saved (UMHC) => they are in the leagues, but not in the big cup Download link: http://www.wielki.mrowkojad.com/untitled.xml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veg Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'll download your file now, but the rankings levels has to be set, if not no speculation at all. About the Fate_actions, Magics excample shows how to do in the xml file that you create the competitions in.

Nicky Salapu Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 http://www.wielki.mrowkojad.com/stage.xml Put it into \editor\data\format\rule group and see *** I've just recreated the old Champions League with all ranking levels and history works fine. BUT... from inactive leagues, it always takes the same teams (as if the game judged champions from "last position" field in the editor and didn't overwrite those after the season ends in inactive leagues).

Anyway I consider throwing my laptop into the wall, as no teams enters the group stage from the qualifying cup round no matter what I do! I start believing that this is impossible with the advanced panels! I redid the Copa Libertadores to be an America's tournament and included teams from north and south america. To create a cup style qualifying round I made a group stage where the groups were set to 2 teams. The qualifying round of course lists the fixtures as groups, but it does work. I have a 16 team first qualifying round with the 8 winners dumping into a 32 team second qualifying round which then moves 16 teams into the 32 team group stage. I'm having problems right now getting it to set up the second year though. Once I work that out it should be good (until we figure out cup fates).

magicmastermind124 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 thebluesigns, have you been making incremental saves once you've added a few features? Otherwise it could be anything that is stopping the file from working. Go back to an earlier version and test that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluesigns Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Ah, I haven't got any incremental saves from recently enough. The steps that I have are quite a few back. I was hoping that someone could have a wee scan through it and see if anything was glaringly obvious. I'd used your NZ league/Oceanic tournament as a template for starting, but obviously the format is very different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Salapu Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Exactly what I've done.... And in the next stage, did you set in "TEAMS" bookmark: GET TEAMS QUALIFIED FROM STAGE /stage number/ /your comp name/ Group Stage ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it this way to, but there was the problem that 74 teams don't divide on 64 and 32 etc. And the way the cup is in Nigeria is that a random draw of the 74 teams qualified for the Fed Cup are drawn in the first round were 20 teams play each other to get the number of participants down to 64. If I set it up as a group stage, I have to specify wich 20 teams these should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmastermind124 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 wcujer80, it's likely that you haven't set a cup fate for the winning team in the final, if you dont do that the second year does not set up and the first hasn't concluded (or so the game thinks) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcujer80 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 wcujer80, it's likely that you haven't set a cup fate for the winning team in the final, if you dont do that the second year does not set up and the first hasn't concluded (or so the game thinks) Strange. All my other cups work fine without a cup fate; well they move on to the next year at least. My Canada Cup is pulling wrong teams from the group stage despite being set up identical to the Libertadores, which pulls the correct teams from the group. I'll have to look at all of this later, might be a late night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosh187 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 can someone pls help, all im trying to do is create a simple british super cup, like the one Stevenhp1987 created, where the winners of 5 british isle tournaments are in it, but i dont want it to replace community shield like his. it seems like i everything i try doesnt work. either the competition doesnt show at all or when it does show it ignores the advanced rules ive set. ive looked through this thread and i cant understand why it doesnt work. if someone could give a few steps as to how they would implement this i would be truly grateful to see what it is im not doing? the format of the competition im trying to make is: stage 1 - league of 5 league winners (ENG,SCO,WAL,NI,IRL) play each other once top two qualify for final stage 2 - final Team placed 1 v Team placed 2 thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicmastermind124 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 A guide if done could confuse even more as even those using the advanced panel and releasing files are still having problems with getting some things to work. So at the moment I doubt a guide would be of any use. What I would suggest is you download one of the files we've made and use it as a template.

hewey Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hi! I've been lurking on this thread and gained some very good tips on how to use the advanced panel, thank you all for them! As I wanted to experience some new adventures in FM I decided to try to create the missing South American leagues to have it as fully manageable continent. I started from the Paraguayan Primera Division as it seemed to be the easiest to replicate with the editor. After banging my head to the wall trying to get the opening stage and the closing stage to show along with the regular season table, I managed to do it and all seemed fine. BUT now I'm stuck...I can't get relegation from the regular season table to work, no matter how I try to change settings in the editor! All I get is the indicator R to show in the regular season table but the team won't get relegated and it doesn't show in the team's history either. It's all fine if there's only one stage in the league (the regular season), bottom team gets relegated. But when I add the opening and closing stages to the league structure, relegation stops working. And as a consequence, promotion from the lower division doesn't work either So I've got 3 stages in the league: opening, closing and regular season. The opening & closing stages process results and max games to the regular season stage which doesn't create its own fixtures. Just like in the real world, the regular season table only combines results from the 2 other stages, and decides who qualifies to the continental cups and who gets relegated. But in the game I can't get it to work. So, if someone knows how to do it, please help me!

Veg Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The bit about me not coming here much is due to having too much coursework for my masters degree and 2 web design contracts.That league was buggy at best... It didn't do what I wanted it to do (bottom of each group relegated to different league... it can do to same league if you set it up like that though and will work fine. - But you have to have some matches in the hidden group otherwise it will crash e.g. for 16 teams - play each other twice = 30 games plus play teams in own group twice = 36 total. You can't not play teams in same group separately or it will crash. I will post the XML I had for that later if people want it. Did you upload this file?
