Skodkim Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Can anyone help me by explaining how I change the number of substitutes using the Editor? I'd like to start a new game in the English Vanarama National but would really like to play with 7 subs allowed to give my talents a better chance of getting playing time. I found some old discussions concerning this but they dodn't really help. \Skodkim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodkim Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 How do I find this? I've tried adding new rules for England, but I havenøt found that field. \Skodkim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodkim Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Thanks for the help but I simply can't do it. I created a new set of rules for England using default values and then converted them to advanced rules. From there I'm lost... First time I'm trying to mess around with that part of the editor, but there was no mod for this and I hoped I could do it myself. \Skodkim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KUBI Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Just checked this, I guess it is only possible when you add the competition manually and set the rules from scratch. But it is also possible to change it in the xml file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 But this is a bit more advanced editing: it does unlock various rules that usually are just visible if you add leagues from scratch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodkim Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I appreciate all the help - thx - but I feel like a complete newb here. I'm not sure that applies to the FM2020 Editor, i.e. I can't see any option to save uncompressed. I'll just continue with my newly started NottsCo game - will be in League two next year anyway :-) \Skodkim Edited December 7, 2019 by Skodkim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Use this file, open it with notepad and change this line for all competition you want to change the sub rules. <string id="subs_rules" value="three_from_seven"/> eng.xml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I downloaded the file and found the competition with value 109201 (Vanarama National) in the xml file. I then changed "three_from_five" to "three_from_seven". Then I imported the xml file in the Editor and saved as a fmf-file. Now when I load up a new game it still says "5 subs named, maximum 3 used". \Skodkim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodkim Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Tried putting the edited xml in the same folder as the fmf files to make it load and its the same (3 subs from 5). Sorry but this brings up a stupid question (but I did search before asking): Can you see which files are loaded when you start a game? Often wondered if my files were going to be loaded and it seems the only way I can tell is by looking for changes I can recognize ingame. \Skodkim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 And you are sure you saved the changes? When you tick the file under database it will be loaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodkim Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Found it but that menu is only visible when you dont select Advanced Setup (and I always seleced that so...) I now managed to load it after a few tweak (A: Should be imported in Editor and Exported again since it "was created with an older database and B: Edits should be tested). Unfortunately I can't get the game to load ANY of my edits right now. It's really acting very strange as they're selected before I go to the advanced meny, but when the game is created I can see that none of the files were loaded anyway. Will dig into it. \Skodkim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodkim Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 OK, I finally managed to do it. I didn't use your file but you certainly helped A LOT! Thanks!!!!!! I have another mod I normally use (which wasn't active in my other tries). This mod also mod other England rules and I made the edits to this mod in stead and it load :-) \Skodkim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
