rythin Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi. I'm in fact working with a custom database. Your post gave me an idea and I found a club ID of Manchester United, which obviously exists in default database, changed .lnc file ID to 680 (Man Utd) and it did in fact change the name of the club. In my custom database though it doesn't change the name of the club. I'm sure I found the correct ID of the club, because I used the same method as with Man Utd which worked. Any ideas?

Dai35 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hi all, I wish to create some extra competitions (national and continental) so that any players under the age of 21 get more games (if they are not good enough for first team games) in the hopes of improving their development so they are good enough eventually. How do i set competitions so only players below a certain age can play as i don't want just the teams registered in under 20's and below age group leagues but every playable club in every country eligible to participate once they are in a high enough league (the lowest possible playable league for each country in the default database)? Do i use the squad registration/match squad rules and if so what option do i need to pick for this to happen? What are the reserve/under 19's cup type in the editor for? Do they limit the clubs eligible for competitions to only those with reserve/under 19 teams or in those kinds of leagues? Can you add clubs from other continents to competitions and if so how do you do it please? What country/continent needs to be selected when setting up the competition? Is this what the Teams section when creating cups is for (picking certain clubs to compete regardless of their based country)? Many Thanks for any help.

Been using it for years so have a decent grasp, but recently when I load any of my edited files they have all been duplicated. Like my most recent had 150k database changes, but today I fire it up and there are 300k changes and everything I've edited has been duplicated...this keeps happening and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

DMaster2 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have an issue. I've tried to made a custom champions league, using only the winner of each nation. I have 54 clubs in the cup, thus the plan was to start the 12 worst league's teams in a preliminary round and then the 6 winners would've joined the other 42 teams on a 48 teams group stage (8 groups of 6 clubs each). Now the problem lies on the fact that once the game finish the preliminary round and draw the groups, instead of working how it always did until last year this time they use clubs that have been eliminated in the preliminary in the group stage instead of the six teams from the strongest leagues. Basically my group stage lacks Juventus, City, Barcellona, PSG and other 3 and feature eliminated teams from the preliminary round instead (ex. . Why is that and how do i fix it?

(On FM20) The idea I have in mind is to create a Sicilian league and cup competition, so that the Sicilian clubs play in this but not the Italian league pyramid. Should be, but that's depends on how you want your competition. Like: How many teams do you want in the entire new nation? Apart for the national cup, are you going to create regional, league, divisional cups? As you will normally will place them in Europe, you will need to resurrect a inactive nation, and move one active nation to another continent (the better is Kazakhstan to Asia). Set up the language to the nations. Will you add cities? Will you add stadiums? For each league, how many teams, and how will you declare the champion, as a normal league, with a playoff, with a split? For players and staff, will you transfer actual players, create them from scratch or leave the game to create them when you start your save? Once you have an answer to those and maybe more questions, then is time to start editing. The example given here is with Basic Rules, mostly all of them apply with Advance rules, but the latter has many more options and is an entire different universe (and I'm not prepared yet to enter it: So: Step 1: Make the plan, make the structure in a paper, visualize your league structure. Step 2: Gather all the info that you can, clubs, if you are going to make new clubs, the name of those clubs, will be they fictional or based on actual clubs. Step 3: Edit: Step 3.0 Save always: for everything you do, save. You can also save several versions of your edit, so if you got a problem, that you bypass something important and that ruined your file, you can upload a previous version, instead of start from the beginning (that happened to me ) Step 3.1 Database edit: In this step you will need to create the nation (edit one of the extinct one), competitions, the cities, the stadiums (or move those already in the database), clubs (same as stadiums), weather (if you want more immersion), players, officials and staff, move one European nation to Asia (or any other competition, but that would break the game). Remember when creating the leagues you need to set the position in the pyramid, the editor will explain in that field. Step 3.2 Rules creation: Here is the real work, you must set the day all leagues will reset and the start of a new season (don't get confuse with the league season dates) As your desire is an european nation, the best month is in June (any day). Then you are going to set the transfer (well you can do that later) dates, and the nations transfer rules. Then you will activate the leagues one by one, setting which one is the main league, and which ones are the other leagues, how many teams will promote and demote. The first league don't have promotions, the last league don't have demotions. After that in each league then you will set the starting date (after the nation season date), give more or less two months for the preseason, and the end of the league season (before the next year season date), and give at least one month, for any inconvenience and play offs. Same with cups, but here you will need to set up each round. (test every option). Step 3.3: Test your rules, the first one is the verification, if everything is fine the editor will give you free pass. Step 3.4: Test the database, there is a option in the editor that will simulate several years (as you wish) of your file, it will give you any error before running it in the game. Step 3.5: If everything is fine, then is time to test it in the game. Don't get attached to any player in the test, because maybe you need to go back to the editor and start all over (if that player is a regen in your 10th season). In the test on the game you need to check all behaviors of your file, like: Are teams getting in the champions, europa, and then the third european cup?, are the nation in the euro qualifiers, euro nation leagues and euro cup? Are the promotion/relegation doing as I wish? Are the teams buying or selling as I would like? and any more questions that you can imaging.

TroubleMan Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 So I made a whole new competition in the pregame editor with teams, players, coaches, stadiums - everything. After a season, all of the backups on every team are mad because of no playing time. Every single guy that's on a team has a promised playing time of regular starter. I went back to the pregame editor to look at their contracts, and I don't see any way to set that. How do I make it so the backups are "squad player" or "fringe player"?

Will_13 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Hi, I was wanting to add salary caps to the English leagues (EPL -> VNL) using the editor and I have followed a few youtube tutorials from a couple of years ago as to how to do this but nothing seems to be working properly. If someone could help me it would be much appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
