Jolanthustrel Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Fixed up my regional leagues. All of them play now, so hopefully It'll continue to play each year. My Multi-national cities are working great. Still need to add club finances, rivalries, derbies, maybe some 'alliances' and awards. It is ready for bata though if anyone is interested.

Rick FM Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 no it isn't, yours is just a normal national db, ours are a specific area within a nation. I understand. The problem is that we've created a couple of questions on other topics there, but it seems that no one pays attention. So I posted my problem here. Thank you to everyone who helped me.

Thank you to everyone who helped me. We are an active sub community who are very friendly and happy to help, going off topic once is OK but you were beginning to dominate our thread a little, this is detrimental to anyone reading through trying to learn things. I am very glad we helped, I would suggest directing people to threads rather than repeating yourself, preferably by PM if you think someone has the skill set to help. You must understand we are busy investigating, beta testing ours and other peoples regional databases, researching and contributing here too, we do not have a lot of spare time to veer off topic and fix general database questions. I do hope you stick around and sample some of the completed databases, I think you will enjoy them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I wish Steam would hurry up and update FM on my Mac Mini so I can test on the faster machine. >_< I still havent re-overclocked my i7 920 since I replaced my thermal compound, I know there is 3.4Ghz in it at least but I just cant be bothered! TBH how much of a difference it will make I dont know. Im doing a test over today while I am at work, I wonder how far it will get with just the nation loaded. In about 3 hours last night I did 2 seasons with all of england and all of my nation loaded, I hope thats good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I dont know if anyone else has come across it but what do you do for players that have already played for another nation internationally? I set their second nation to my country unless they have already deferred to another nation (eg England to Scotland) My real question is what would you do about players who have already retired from international football, do you think they would want to come out of it to play for the new nation? Would you remove the retirement? A good example is Paul Robinson for my nation, still young enough to play but retired from England duty and is now eligible for my nation!

Jolanthustrel Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would, Especially if I was pretty certain of being one of the first people named in a squad. I'm a little disappointed in my international squad ATM. While It's still basically the same guys from 2 season ago when I first did this. I at least had some time to develop the next generation before they retired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to do the same for my 8 hour test tonight (assuming it did not crash) How long does it take for you to holiday a few seasons?

That thing is all mumbo jumbo to me and I can't for the life of me work out how to delete it. It is very simple, change "false" to "true" in a text file. Make sure you open it with notepad and use ctrl-f to search for the "continent" section, then make the change. If it is possible to replace your file with mine i can send the changed file, or wil that break some EULA or something? Dont give up just yet, there is so much fun to be had, if not maybe I could edit the nation and then send you a database with just that one change done? I will investigate when I get home from work!

As you are having a lot of trouble I will make a database with CIS changed to Europe for you so you can edit your nation from there, after that one change you do not need to worry about editing the file in notepad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I tried a new approach.

nine_iron Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 With my Lincs and Humber database now released my mind is turning to future projects, I am thinking of making a Lincolnshire only nation to be playable alongside Dragonheats Yorkshire nation, this I think would be a fantastic project. I have always made Lincolnshire and Humberside as one nation to increase the amount of people who might download it and to increase the number of teams (back when it was hard to make a big league structure and I needed a competative league system.

Shame we can't add regions to the db that would help.

Jolanthustrel Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I think you were going to do a beta test for me also, but I'm in the middle of a second version where regional leagues are now a u23's\reserves competition. I've also run into a slight problem with my original DB after adding a new division in that I no longer receive an end of season summary . The game continues playing, and I'm still getting new seasons but there's no summary :\ Ugh, Changing Reserve team attendances is getting rather tedious, although if I don't the reserves will have greater attendances than most first teams and require the building of a new stadium that sends smaller teams into administration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolanthustrel Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I would also like to see some teams in unplayable leagues to give a feeling of depth, my database again is another example where I have three unplayable leagues to give depth and contribute to 4 rounds of FA cup qualifying and participate in other cups. The reason they should be inactive is to save you having to balance financial and other factors for mostly amateur leagues. I'm thinking about doing this for the lowest division also and giving them all the same Reputation so random teams come up instead of always the 'best teams' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
