magicmastermind124 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Keep up the good work. Waiting patiently on this being ready. Practically it is ready but due to the bugs in FM2014 that need fixing (that is, incorrect teams in leagues) that I have reported to SI I cannot release it. I'm hoping after some respite SI will bring out a fix and we can release this file to everyone. I hope that fix does not happen to be the January Transfer patch, and that it arrives soon.

magicmastermind124 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Is there any further news on this? It sounds like it going to be amazing. Really looking forward to using it! That depends on SI's ability to fix the bugs that are stopping this from being released. If there weren't any bugs we would have released this already. As it stands, things are currently out of our hands. Once the problems are fixed, I'll be carrying on with the testing of the file and will get this out to everyone as soon as possible. I'm very much looking forward to that day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they have reviewed the problem, a small patch (14.2.2) was since released but the bug is still around so I would hope that they are fixing it for the next patch.

magicmastermind124 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 We will have to wait for the January Transfer Update before we can reassess the file and see if the problems are fixed. In the meantime we are still working on the file. We have to admit that we are disappointed that we haven't been able to release as of yet, but given that we usually have to patch and update for the inevitable transfer patch, extra time has been given to make improvements to the file. I sincerely hope that the wait is worth it for everyone, and would like to once again thank everyone for their patience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Improvise Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for the update mm. It's frustrating for those of us waiting for the file but it must be even worse for you, having put in so much work. I've gone back to playing FM2013 until there are further tweaks to FM2014 and your file is available as, judging by the comments on many threads, FM2014 is still something of a disaster at the moment.

dinamo_zagreb Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 @magicmastermind124 Hi, mate. I was wondering if you had FM 2012 advanced panel activation. If you do, I would like to ask you to send me a link to it, I can't log in box.com (forgot my pass, it's been too long since I last played 2012 edition) to find it there. Thank you in advance, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance, cheers. I don't have it anymore. If I recall correctly, to activate it you had to open format.xml and move the adva section inside the file section, then change one line so that it read <list> instead of <list id="adva">. I may be wrong, obviously it is not supported in those versions and you've always got the Advanced Rules in FM14 and presumably going forward to fall back on.

I'll be there like a garden gnome greeting him every morning and evening with the same question as I get worse looking each day. In the end it will look like he's taking in the unwashed homeless.

magicmastermind124 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 I have just tried the file for the latest update and I still have the problems that I have described in post #19.I'm uploading the file I am using for you to take a look at, and a save game that utilises the file. Save game is EEE Save 1 Test and edited file is FMU FM2014 EEE v8.0 Test 14.dbc, both in game-xml. The files have verified, no errors and nothing in the comp error log file in the Editor. But when loaded in the game, certain teams have been swapped around: Abingdon United, who should be in the Hellenic Premier (inactive) are in the Northern Premier League, the Isthmian League D1N and the Isthmian League D1S. Rushall Olympic, who should be in the Northern Premier League, are in the Southern League Premier. AFC Hayes, who should be in the Southern League D1C, are in the Southern League D1SW. Redbridge, who should be in the Isthmian League D1N, are in the Southern League D1C. Faversham Town, who should be in the Isthmian League D1S, are noted in the club profile as in the Southern League D1C but are actually not featured in the league nor have any league fixtures. Poole Town, who should be in the Southern League Premier, are noted in the club profile as in the Southern League Premier but are actually not featured in the league nor have any league fixtures. Merthyr Town, who should be in the Southern League D1SW, are noted in the club profile as in the Southern League D1SW but are actually not featured in the league nor have any league fixtures. This swap around results in the competitions being balanced in number, which is why the editor's verification system is not spotting the fault. Hopefully this can be looked into as a matter of urgency. We will need to wait and see again I am afraid guys. Things are not looking too good. I am trying anything now to try and get this to work.

I would be very surprised if people wanted to play with this release considering the horrible bug I mentioned on post #175, which is what I am trying to fix. If that can be fixed, the file will be good to go. Alternatively I could support an older version of FM, but I'd rather not do that as I would lose a lot of work that had to be done last year to get this file to work with FM13. If I did go back I would only support FM12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that we can do is add more pressure to SI by complaining, remember that last year they brought out their last patch 13.3.3 on the 28th of March! I can't understand the lack of communication in the bugs forum that's just terrible customer service, especially because the advanced editor was the only killer feature for this edition.

helm123 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Have FM12 as well so could go back to that version as well.

magicmastermind124 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 best version in 4-5 years It is certainly the best in terms of the editor. Other that the one downside of having to manually change the XML for advanced rules to load it into the editor, FM12 has the capability of allowing massive user expansion thanks to being able to load dbc's into the database. I have spoken to others who are in agreement, and one day I would probably go back to it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry, you both surely want to achieve the best for the community, im just curious. With the advanced rules you can add a lot more things, like say if you got promoted to Level 6 using advanced rules you can remove the Level 7/8 cup competitions (that's only something simple in the advanced rules section, they go more in-depth) I like the advanced rules myself, but I don't know where to start with them so I use the basic rules. I've always used the basic rules so have stuck with what I know. My files have got better over the last couple of years as I've been learning while editing.
