[FM23 EDITOR][MOD] Customize Editor

[cleiria]

This is a “base” skin, with all needed files of comp editor.fmf file, to the editor that allows to customize the editor.

You can customize the look (skinning) or/and the functionality (allow hidden options, change limits of teams in cups, ….) without editing the comp editor.fmf file.

Thanks to @EnigMattic1 - Added the ability to create U17 comps.

1. Extract this in your skins' folder.

 

editor.zip

2. Go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\Preferences\version 1 and copy user_data_location.xml.

If you don't have this file, skip 3. and go to 4. — file only is needed if you change user data location in game.

3. Go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Editor 2023\Preferences\version 2 and paste the file.

4. Go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Sports Interactive\Editor 2023\Caches and delete editor.skc file.

5. Launch the Editor.

P. S. 1 — If you make changes to the skin, you need to repeat 4, before relaunch the editor to changes take effect.

P. S. 2 — If in the future you change the user data location in game, you have to repeat 2, 3 and 4, before relaunch the editor.

P. S. 3 — After the updates, it could be changes in comp editor.fmf file, so this will be updated to reflect these changes, and you need to repeat 1 and 4, before relaunch the editor to changes take effect.

Anyone able to make the debug stuff visible?

In FM22 I had the newgen preferences visible under the club, but get the impression that is not working (or I am doing things wrong, equal chance).

I believe that what he means, and it's the same for me, is that there is no "user_data_location.xml" file inside folder version 1 and also that there is no version 2 folder.

Most of the debug stuff don't allow to do anything.

To work, it needs files that are not present in comp editor.fmf. SI didn't release them.

Maybe in the future...

For example:

Until last year, it was possible to activate the retired squad numbers, but it was not possible to do anything.

In FM23 Editor, it works by default.

If you want to try it, here is a list of files with debug options.

debug.txt

Edited November 18, 2022 by cleiria

[Wolf_pd]

I am looking at ways to activate the debug section, with some outside action, but haven't found the cure yet.

There might be a setting inside the exe possibly.

Don't know if anyone in here can help me, On the FM22 editor, I was able to extract the comp editor folder via the resource archiver and "unlock" u17 and u16 teams and divisions. I have done exactly the same for the FM23 editor, but the option to have u17 or u16 teams/affiliates/reserve teams doesn't show. Divisions, however, do work. Any ideas?

I was able to sort it in the end. It was an error on my part. I was missing the code for the u17 and u16 teams in "team type".

If you haven't changed the location in the preference, the file won't be generated.

It shall follow the default path.

Sorry it's from me. I skipped step 1. 
Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

It's OK.

See the debug option in the menu?

In default is hiding.

Delete the editor.skc is for the editor read the new skin.

If you don´t have user_data_location.xml

forget 2. and 3.

My problem is a bit different.. If i go in C:\Users\Username

I have no appdata folder at all

 

The only place where i have stuff for fm is the C:\program files(x86) \steam\steamapps\common

[Samuel77]

It is a hidden file. There are different ways to make it accessible.
You can try this way.

 

This is super helpful!
Thanks again @cleiria
