@Nahuelzn You know, if that data is good it could be useful with the team. If you have good pictures, they could be very useful to the guys at Sortitoutsi. Just in case you wanted to make your research have a wider effect!

Any updates?

Hello Designman, as an assitant researcher I can clarify for you who holds the position of researcher for Morocco atm. The head researcher for Africa is a guy called Blue Lou. He's on these forums if you want to contact him about anything. He's a busy guy however, as he alone is responsible for over 35 countries. There is a person who is set to the Moroccan league specifically but he has been inactive since February. There is also someone else who is registered to just Raja Casablanca who hasn't been active since January. If you have enough interest, and valid sources, I would recomm

Just dropping in something else. I think it's kinda funny. https://gyazo.com/87046e28002e6112f0d6ff79eb33fd12

I've actually just recently been taken on as a researcher. Assistant researcher for a few countries in Africa. I've been doing some balancing and some finishing touches for teams in DR Congo. I've also started doing a couple teams from Zambia. Seems like the next natural step: Borders DR Congo, have transfers between them, about the same in quality and coefficient. I've been busy with stuff outside FM so I haven't had the time to do much but I have managed to put together a squad for one of the smaller teams.

@sporadicsmiles Some updated files. Sort out a few things. The leagues file is just an edit of your file with some congolese changes reset. @cel1234 There are some individual changes in the DB, but the league hasn't been set as playable yet. It's one of the next on the agenda. Josh's editor data - DR Congo.fmf Josh's editor data - Leagues.fmf

I edited a few things from your leagues changes file that I downloaded from here. I have a file which undoes the team creations and changes some general rules for the Linafoot. What I would recommend doing is: Create a backup of your editor data and then add my changes to the backup. If the files are merged safely then continue with editing on the backup. I also have more changes to my personal file i can set a link for you to download.

Also, I just wanted to post this as it's become a problem in the DB: Don't delete a club in the DB and create a new one with the same name. It really messes with the editing side of things.

A few issues with the Congo side of the DB: The Congolese Cup doesn't play in the first season. I'm not sure if it plays at all. There are 2 teams called RC Kinshasa: One of them plays in Linafoot and the other plays in the lower leagues. The one in the lower leagues has a higher reputation. Only 1st place gets Champions League football. Only 2nd gets Confederation Cup. IRL 1st and second get Champions League whereas 3rd and 4th get Confed. There should only be 2 relegation places, not 3. That's just stuff I can't fix myself. Stuff like stadiums and reputations I c

Hi all. Updates changes to DR Congo. Squad selections for over half of the teams. over 2300 changes. Hope this is good stuff. Josh's editor data - DR Congo.fmf

I wish I knew more about merging. I'm assuming it would use the most recently added data if it receives 2 edits of the same player. I guess all I can do for now with those players is give over my data and have sporadic (or who else has access to the main file) edit it himself. I've also talked to the chief editor at SI for Africa and gotten on board with him. I'll ask him about whether you guys could work with the official researchers for those countries to get the database legitimised and see what happens from there. Edit: ...provided you aren't already. And they probably already kn

That's not what I meant I am using the editor, it's just that if there's players that have been created within the editor data made by this forum, then I wouldn't be able to edit and send my edits of those players without sending the whole rest of the editor data as well, which is a pretty large file.

I have info on most of the teams in Congo, can I send it to you via DM? I can't edit players created by the DB so I can't do all the editing.

I don't know how helpful this is, but if you have accurate enough information on the teams, you could send it to SI themselves. The head researcher for Africa is a guy called Blue Lou, and there's also Lukafanzer who contributes too. Also, I found the entire squad for FC Renaissance, updated to March 2020. It's on their French language team page on wikipedia. My editor data is accurate up to September 2019 (c. the start of the game) and a couple players have left (Yannick Tusilu and Zoumana Sidibe) and the manager too. I only found accurate DOBs for 8 of the players. Also, Jeremie B

I'm currently editing a few things by myself, I'll send across the editor data files when I'm finished for the day
