Wolf_pd Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thank you! I plan to finish Asia today and then it will be research tomorrow to see what the exact changes needed are for the remaining files. Obviously I still need to test, but this is going nicely. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 The good thing is while I haven't posted that much I have been busy in creating a few more files and I am at about 80% now. Two important files are left to be done, the World Cup file and the Under20 World Cup file. Those are the only files I need to finish. The rest is testing and fixing, testing and fixing, testing and fixing. I expect March will have about 300 hours of FM20 testing, if not more. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Things are going smoothly. I have finished Czechoslovakia, the USSR, East Germany, Yugoslavia and West Germany this week. The file for the European Nation competitions is finished as well. Hopefully the Oceania Nation competitions will be finished as well tonight. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 We are almost at 90% in the meantime. I finished the European Cups, South American Nation Competions and I am actually ahead of my own schedule for this months. However, still a few important files to go and I had a setback with the file for Africa, which was probably too complicated for the game. Some more late night testing tonight and hopefully that means another file finished. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

\'Appy \'Ammer Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Having looked through your list I dug out an old subbuteo team from around 1980. On the back of the box is the World Cup qualifying groups for the World Cup in Spain in 1982. There's some nations on there that have changed names or don't exist anymore. Pretty confident I won't be seeing Macao in your file @Wolf_pd 🤓.

Wolf_pd Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 This will be for FM20. The plan was to have it finished in June 2020, but it got derailed by Covid-19. At this moment I am focused on finishing it for FM20, before taking a look at any conversion to a later version. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Nope, not ready at the end of the month. Got some setback, mainly physical. But at least I have now five files left to get done, from a total of 57 and I am working on one file that is essentially done, but can use some upgrade (the people file).

levigu Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi Wolf, I have been keeping an eye on this thread and the development of the mod and would also be willing to do testing for FM20 if it's in any way helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 I have a bit of a physical downperiod, so I am not working on competitions at the moment. Working out those kinks is an energyburner, But I am working on player movement. A big test today and the results in the former EC1 is promising. Who would expect to see this in the Champions League? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 And what about Swiss outfit FC Basel? I still have to do some work on Portugal, so Benfica might end up a bit weaker and I am currently running a long long test, which means I can check out the long run results of my changes to tonight. Hopefully they have resulted in less influence of the big money. In that case UEFA is allowed to hire me for a nice sum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Some extra testing determines the big money teams return to the forefront after a few seasons, so I need to cut into revenues as well. But at least the concept works. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
\'Appy \'Ammer Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 How are you finding the allocation of the stadiums to the finals? Are there any ridulously low capacity grounds hosting these? Have you set the Uefa Cup to be a 2 legged affair like it used to be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 The UEFA Cup is back to home and away. The allocation in general goes well, with stadiums like Wembley, Hampden, Nou Camp, etc, but for a few countries the stadium I expect isn't picked, so in Romania the Euro Cup final is played in a 30K stadium. I think I might have missed something datawise maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Some data things where I am looking at are affiliations. 'In country' affiliations aren't that bad, but I am not a fan of the feeder affiliations that teams like PSG and Manchester City have. The only thing is, I am not sure I can block teams from creating certain affiliations and allowing others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jekermesh Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Hi Wolf (and others if they can help). I have downloaded your foreign player rules just to keep me sweet until your completed mod is released - cannot fricking wait as I loved MBarbaric's old Iron Curtain mod. Quick question though - I'm fairly old hat when it comes to editing files and creating advanced rules and have been playing the game since the 90's but if I try and change your foreign player rules from 3 foreign players allowed to 1 the editor forces me to run a test to validate the database before allowing me to save it. I used to know how to do this but haven't really tinkered much with FM20 (I only bought it when I saw this mod thread) so could could you give me some advice in terms of how to run those tests in order for me to save the database. FYI - Amazing effort on this I know from my own experience how utterly boring and frustrating it can be running save after save over night and tinkering with the data to get it just right so THANK YOU for all your efforts and I can only hope you are finally feeling better after being laid low by sodding covid. All the best and thanks in advance for any help you can provide. All the best Comrade. Edited April 10, 2021 by Jekermesh 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 The Africa file is done, which leaves me with the World Cup, U20 World Cup and Olympic Games. Since I am close to working out the last bump in the World Cup qualifiers (again in Africa strangely enough), I will first pick up the U20 World Cup since i have done nothing with that file yet. Olympic Games file is a whole other beast, but probably will only need me to correct the various dates for scheduling and competition starts. Anyway, studying on the whole U20 WC setup and surrounding comps starts tonight! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Don't you hate it when you are progressing nicely with a file and you suddenly notice you made a thinking error? The issue: As with most other competition I exclude the U20 World Cup Host from the respective continental championship. This is valid for some tournaments btw, the Concacaf Championship did this for instance in 1986. But for the U20 World Cup World Youth Championship (the proper name at the time), that isn't true. So now I have to work out, how I can put an ignore on the WYC while keeping it in the continental championships. Other than that, things are progressing nicely with this file.
