[Cup Draws]

Does that randomise the world cup draw?

No, it's still hard coded to match the real life draw even if you watch it play out.

If you start as England manager with a start date before the 9th July you can see the world cup draw, which has the new layout.

Hopefully it's something that can be enabled in the editor so we can decide which competitions have it.

[Future Chairman]

I've tried adding this a few times over the years and never seen any appear in game, however that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work as there are so many potential takeovers that never go through in the end and its hard to keep a track of every club.

For clarification here is the command. "Favourite team" and "based nation" I'm guessing limit them to a specific club or country for potential takeovers but as I have never seen them appear in game I can't really confirm.

# BOARD_TAKEOVER FIRST_NAME, COMMON_NAME, SECOND_NAME, DATE_OF_BIRTH, NATIONALITY, FAVOURITE_TEAM, BASED_NATION, LEAVE_BLANK, COMPANY

# "BOARD_TAKEOVER" "Joe" "" "Bloggs" "01.01.1980" "England" "Ipswich" "England" "" "Media Corner Ltd"

Has anyone had any luck with their fictional owner appearing in game?
 

[[World] (Official) League Specific Issues]

In the World Cup European Qualifying, the 10 Group Runner Ups and the best two Nations League group winners should qualify for the playoffs, however the two best overall ranked Nations League teams are qualify.

So in my save two teams that finished 4th in their NL League A Groups qualified for the playoffs rather than the two best ranked NL League C Group Winners (All the NL League A & B Winners had already either qualified for the World Cup outright or the playoffs already).

[KITS DISPLAY PROBLEM]

As above I would try changing back to the default skin and seeing if theres still the outline.

If it's still showing, and it's not an issue with that skin, then it's possible you're missing the correct overlay for FC'12 kits

[[FM21][MOD] Scoreboard Mods]

I'm having an issue customising the scoreboard but its probably the opposite to what you guys have been trying to achieve, but perhaps someone could help.

I've made my own editor file with all the six letter names shortened to three letters instead, like a lot of tv scoreboards now use, and noticed there's an issue where if a team's short name is six characters (e.g. Leeds, Fulham) or less the scoreboard will instead load the short name rather than the six letter one.

This mod has done the same thing and on the thread they've ran into the same issue (and have probably explained it better than I have): https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/540344-fm21-long-team-names-3-letter-match-names-world/

It has been reported as possible bug, but I've been trying to fix it myself and I've noticed if I pull through the Six Letter Name on the club profile page (with id:Csxn) then it display's the correct 3 letter version (so LEE instead of Leeds, FUL instead of Fulham).

Is it therefore possible to somehow pull in this field (Csxn) into the scoreboard, something maybe like below (I'm still learning how skinning works and don't know if this is possible)?

<widget class="text_button">
    <record id="object_property" get_property="home" set_property="objt" /> <!-- Home Team Object -->
    <record id="object_property" get_property="club" set_property="objt" /> <!-- Get Club Object from the Team Object (is this bit possible?) -->
    <record id="object_property" get_property="Csxn" set_property="valu" /> <!-- Set Six letter name as the value -->
</widget>

Thanks

[FM21: Long Team Names + 3-Letter Match Names (World)]

There's is an issue in game where if a club's 'Short Name' is six characters or less (e.g. Rennes, Braga, Leeds, Fulham) then the scoreboard uses this value instead of the 'Six Letter Name' field. Really annoying if you want to use the 3 letter format.

[Editor options for stadiums (Editor 2017 and maybe Editor 2018)]

I just had a go at editing "format\database\stadium.xml" in comp editor.fmf file for FM18 

<!-- Stadium Sides -->
<record>
  <flags id="field" value="Ssds" />
  <translation id="name" translation_id="435709" type="use" value="Stadium Sides[COMMENT: editor; section showing details of sides of a stadium]" />
  <flags id="type" value="list" />
  <boolean id="allow_add" value="true" />
  <boolean id="allow_remove" value="true" />
  <boolean id="allow_move" value="true" />
  <boolean id="debug_only" value="false" />
  <record id="list_item">
    <list id="fields">
...
            

In the editor I can now see a "Stadium Sides" section:

How ever if I save and load a change it says Success: No in the Database Changes.

So it might not be possible to alter these values unless there is a setting in an editable files to allow "stadium sides" changes to be saved.
