Chas (Psyatika) Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Originally posted by Chas (Psyatika):In France, I've placed 72 African teams into the CFA. However, the game automatically kicks 40 of them out and replaces them with the reserve teams of the top two leagues. Is there any way around this? In the editor there is a competition called "French Professional Reserves", but it doesn't seem to exist in the game. Changing the Competition level to any other number (4, 5, 6, even 20) doesn't change the league setup, by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas (Psyatika) Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 In addition to the above question: In Poland, in the lowest league (it's unplayable), there are tons of clubs, some of them with no nation. I know this is probably done to prevent them from being promoted, but are nationless clubs necessary in Poland? I'm going to assume no, but you never know!

ruttiger_ruttiger Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 If you are basing it off a update you downloaded and then edited it may have an edt file for competition names.

Giggs1311 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Dave, Im creating a ladder format for the US teams switching them with the English league. Will I need to use 23rd in say third division, for a team now in the fourth division, or can their last division be the same, so I could put 1st in fourth division, but on game start-up them still be there?

Dave Fairbairn Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 I wouldn't reccomend a US league swap as you cannot buy any foreign players when doing this. What I would suggest is that you change all US teams to Canada nationality and then do an England/Canada league swap. As for last positions, you can set them to whatever you want as long as all positions for last season are covered. For instance, a team in the Conference could be set to have been 1st in the Premiership just so long as it has been set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I had a look in here to see if I could find something I've done wrong, but can't see it jumping out at me. I created 16 new teams based in local towns. Because I couldn't create a league for them, I decided to place them in the conference national. I swapped 16 teams out of the conference national and replaced tehm with my new teams, all with their newly created stadia. When I try to start a new game, it crashes and I get an error into the crash dump. Anyone have any ideas why, or more importantly, what I can do to fix it? I've set the removed teams to "a lower division" and the new teams I've added have their last division as conference national with relevent positions listed. None of the removed teams were those promoted or relegated to the conference national at the end of the 2005-2006 season (I'm running FM2007) Any help would be forever welcome!

stu_foz Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 the teams that get relegated into the conference still join the fa cup in the first round, instead of the 6th preliminary round that all the conference sides join it. i think you'll need to set 2 teams as last division being league two.

If the team is brand new, and has not competed before, eg. Carolina, what should I put for their last divisions? Ryan Ryan - in my experience it is always good for every team to have a *unique* last place and last division. Many competitions use this data to seed the comp, and some will fail (i.e. game will crash) if that data is missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your new teams have the last division/place set up correctly.2.Don't place the removed teams in "a lower division" - the number of teams in "a lower division" is specific for each country (I believe) hardcoded into the game, so any variance will cause a crash. Just remove any competition, last division, and last posotion from the removed teams. They should be "in limbo" so to speak. That should work - let me know if this helps!

When you start a game it uses whatever database you choose to load all the game detail and thats it. There is no more referencing that database, so you will be able to continue playing your game - just keep in mind it has the settings of the database you started the game with. These settings cannot be changed on-the-fly.Secondly, if i had this superleague database on my system, and wanted to start an online game, would everyone else need the same database, or just myself? If you wanted to compete online with your superleague, everyone would need to have the exact same copy of the database. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDT file is the easiest way."SWAP_TEAMS" "HK_TEAM" "CHINESE_TEAM" is the syntax. when you start the game, under "additional files" you'll need to select the name of the .edt file you created. There are very good guides on .edt files at the top of the forum, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I could switch with Finland leagues, but will it crashes cause the Finnish Cup is much bigger than the Luxemburguese Cup ? Maybe the game want to have at least XXX clubs... So to actualize, I would have to create a lot of clubs (hard work...). I can also use the Slovakian league, but I'll loose 2 clubs per division. Slovakian leagues have 12 clubs when Luxembourguese leagues have 14. But it will be much simple to switch these leagues. What would you do ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoop Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I don't want to start a new thread, when this looks like the ideal place to ask. For a while I have been working on completely customedthe French league, by replacing all teams with fictional teams, as I created my own country. The league swaps have all worked fine, but the problem comes with the coupe de la ligue. The first round of the competition should have 5 matches, between 5 teams from Lique 2 and 5 teams from the National division (I have renamed these leagues), but when I run the game, this round is being 7 Ligue 2 teams and 3 National teams. This means that the top two teams from Ligue 1 who shouldn't be entering the competition until the 4th round, are entering at the third round, and the game is crashing at the fourth round draw date, due to being 2 games short. Has anyone tried to edit the French league, and have you managed to get around this problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi everyone! I'm trying to make a league for Reunion island (a french "oversea département") in FM2007. 20 teams are present in the db (but only 16 of them appear in the game ), most of them are empty : no players, staff, stadium... (If you check the Game Importance for Reunion island you'll read "Completly useless" ). I want to swap Slovakian clubs with my teams from Reunion. There are 2 playable leagues for Slovakia (12 teams for each league) and a non playable lower league which contains 37 teams. So I had to create 4 (empty)teams to match the correct numbers of teams in each slovakian leagues. Then, I followed Dave's Guide and completed all the steps but when I create a new game, I can't choose Reunion nor Slovakia (invisible on the selection screen). Is it because I haven't replaced with teams from Reunion the unplayable Slovakian lower league teams yet? Or does this come from the fact that most of the reunionese teams are empty? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Reunionese teams doesn't belong to any division from the start(no league structure at all for them in the db). So when, I swap the slovakian teams, they end up being in no league ("division: <none>"). Can somebody help me, please? Thanks in advance for any thoughts posted.

Guest Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dave and Donnie, thanks for your help. So I have edited all the existing clubs (staff, players, stadiums, ...) and have created clubs to match the correct number of teams in the Slovakian lower league. But same result. I can't select my league, it doesn't appear on the selection screen. I created a new game with another league to check what's going on. Well, all the slovakian and reunionese teams are in the game, the slovakian teams play no league games (which is normal)but the reunionese teams play no league games too (not normal!). I don't know what's the problem. I checked the "full fifa member" box, set all the teams status in the playable leagues on professional but still nothing. I don't know what to do next. I haven't created any reunionese referees yet (the slovakian ones are still "active") but I don't think that's important, isn't it ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
