So... anyone knows how to make this file work for the winter patch? I got errors right away and this is not my field of expertise. @Tomijssel or @rayz0rcakes maybe? I know @rayz0rcakes made some more updates to the file after the latest file in the thread above.

Yes, but it’s a bit weird as KKD clubs become amateur in a league of semi-pro clubs (BND). No clue how to iron that out. Yes, still playable but needs an update for the winter patch obviously.

Those can be found in many namefix files on various community sites. I cannot post anything related here as I expect this is against forum rules.

Anyone knows how to change the background image for news items to feature the stadium_inside (STAp) image when it is club related? Would be great if it would be on top, only showing up when it has one. No clue if that would be easily possible.

Can you research for each league what the correct start and end date would be? I’m willing to give it a try as well, @Tomijssel probably knows for sure. Happy holidays!

Cool findings, what happens in season 2 or 3? Are you completely unable to make transfers or only ones within the Netherlands?

Option two sounds good, I already have those files in (classes/custom_box and graphics/boxes/main/ro) but can anyone help me with code maybe? In the fragment above to layer that on top? I have no clue how to layer things.

Does anyone know how to create rounded corners on images/widgets? I already tried a custom_box class on the container but that didn't work... I want to add the rounded corner to the image of the stadium at the bottom in the same way as the rounded border for the kits or the club details boxes Piece of the code: <!--image--> <container> <attachment class="test_screen_size_attachment" > <list id="properties"> <record> <flags id="alignment" value="vertical"/> <integer id="min_value" value="0" /> <integer id="max_value" value="960"/> <symbol id="set_property" value="height" /> <integer id="true_value" value="100" /> <integer id="false_value" value="284" /> <boolean id="test_on_layout" value="true"/> </record> </list> </attachment> <attachment_group class="horizontal_arrange" horizontal_layout="-1,-1,-1" vertical_gap="0" /> <widget class="stadium_picture" id="STAp" image_alignment="centre_x, centre_y" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" default_height="324" inset="0"> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="top" inset="-30" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="vertical" inset="-30" /> <layout class="stick_to_sides_attachment" alignment="horizontal" inset="0" /> <record id="object_property"> <integer id="get_property" value="mbpc" /> <integer id="set_property" value="file" /> </record> </widget> </container>

So with a couple of small changes this morning I also got the U21/U19 league working; which is just generated by FM just like the others. I think this file is pretty playable, but @Tomijssel you could still create the leagues as you suggested in your first post. Changes in this file: Added 'sportpark' for SV De Meteoor Added Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie teams to U19/Tweede elftal FM generated competitions Added semi-pro statuses to multiple clubs So that leaves the initial to-do list to this: One small remark is that I removed one of the direct promotion/relegation spots between the BND and KKD as I think this is more realistic. Nederland (D7) edited.fmf

New file, I've striked through all of my feedback that I could implement with this. Other additions: I now also see why I had these competition issues with the Eerste Klasse leagues. They are not separated by Zaterdag/Zondag anymore, so they are now called Eerste Klasse A-J. I've added these changes but it's wise to check with you namefix file as that could be different completely. I've also added in colors and the Affiliated clubs file above and tried to work out the semi-pro status for Betnation Divisie by adding a rule to oth Betnation as KKD for what should happen with clubs when they are relegated in terms of their professional-status. I've set this to two years. No clue if that worked out well, we have to test. Affiliated amateur clubs not able to promote out of Betnation Divisie I have no understanding of how to bring the U21/U18 teams in, which I think is the biggest issue with this file still, some research below: I think the struggle is that most Pro clubs are still in their U18 leagues which are disabled and the game creates 40+ groups for all U19 teams of the other teams. But it's random to me as ADO or MVV are also assigned to these groups, but still their U19 make it into that first group. Nederland (D7) edited.fmf

Made a small file fixing the affiliated clubs for Pro clubs relative to their amateur club (Ajax - Ajax amateurs), using the same kit and making sure they cannot play in the same division. I know we could go much more in depth as clubs often have multiple amateur-partners that are definitely not registered in FM. Just as an example, which is just a small part of the full list: https://www.ajax.nl/artikelen/ajax-bekrachtigt-samenwerking-met-tien-nieuwe-partnerclubs/ wfm18 sortitoutsi.net FM24 Affiliated clubs (Netherlands).fmf

I've done some testing again today and experienced the same issue as reported above by @rschprs for the U19 teams. @ginomartens I think your issue with the names of the Vierde Divisie are part of the namefix file you are using.

Great stuff so far. Hope @Tomijssel has some time soon to look at all of these! Or maybe @Xavier Lukhas has time to work on this file. I'm happy to help whatever way possible with my limited competition editing skills...

I love these files. I hope one day there will be an Oceanian (OFC), Asian (AFC) and African (CAF) version of the TCH files too! This just brings FM up to a new level, where I strongly believe this should have already been part of the database of SI and not a community fmf file.

Here are the color fixes for (2) btw excluding newly created leagues (Derde Divisie, Eerste Klasse, Tweede Klasse, Districtsbekers). EDIT 17:11, added more findings to the post above. wfm18 sortitoutsi.net FM24 Competition Colors (Netherlands).fmf

Some aesthetic file improvements or new features from my side just at a first glance: (1) Dutch Tweede Klasse - remove the word ‘Dutch’ so it’s consistent with the others? Could also be because of my name fix files, so not sure but nice to double check. Since it's Eerste Klasse and Derde Klasse and I had to change this. (2) If you want to add more realism, competition colors can also be added. I got the official RGB codes here, also for licensed leagues: Eredivisie (ERE) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 32 G 24 B 96 Kleur decoratie: R 230 G 29 B 73 Keuken Kampioen Divisie (KKD) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 216 G 8 B 32 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 255 B 255 Betnation Divisie (BND) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 35 G 51 B 106 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 92 B 0 KNVB Beker en Districtsbekers (BEK, DBE) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 4 G 47 B 54 Kleur decoratie: R 0 G 123 B 39 Johan Cruyff Schaal (JCS) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 255 G 202 B 8 Kleur decoratie: R 35 G 32 B 119 Unofficial colors (these are not defined by KNVB, but it makes it look a bit nicer than just black - you can skip these if you want to) Derde Divisie (DER) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 4 G 157 B 75 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 255 B 255 Vierde Divisie (VIE) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 0 G 96 B 255 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 255 B 255 Eerste Klasse (EK), Reservecompetities (RES), O19 competities (O19) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 255 G 156 B 0 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 255 B 255 Tweede Klasse (TWK) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 6 G 183 B 173 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 255 B 255 Derde Klasse (DEK) Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 156 G 88 B 202 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 255 B 255 Lagere Divisies Voorgrond: R 255 G 255 B 255 Achtergrond: R 127 G 127 B 127 Kleur decoratie: R 255 G 255 B 255 I also have a .fmf file for implementing all these colors but the colors are of course not mapped on created leagues or the top level league. Let me know if this would be helpful. (3) Advanced Rules > Netherlands > List (Geavanceerde Regels > Nederland > Lijst) maybe reorganize so that they are in the correct order? That also helps with some overviews in game (e.g. Eerste Klasse Zondag & Zaterdag are mixed up in order) (4) Clubs such as Ajax Amateurs or SC Feyenoord are not using the kits of their respective Pro-level club. List of clubs with same kit and prevent from promotion + prevent playing in the same league as their Pro-level club: Ajax Amateurs PSV/av SC Feyenoord SC N.E.C. FC Eindhoven amateurs ADO Den Haag amateurs (extinct) FC Dordrecht amateurs RV & AV Sparta (5) Vierde Divisie is showing up here while it should be hidden and it should only show 4 leagues: Zaterdag & Zondag A&B (happens when you're on a league page and hit search up top) (6) It looks like some Tweede Klasse leagues have a higher reputation than the districtsbeker, which is why they show up over here compared to the other clubs. For the Derde Divisie and up that would make sense, but not for the Tweede Klasse. I remember this was one of the things introduced as a workaround some time back, maybe good to double check. -- That's it so far.

Amazing to see this file back for FM once again. Amazing job @Tomijssel! I'll do some testing this week! So pretty brain-breakers that KNVB included in their regulations. Big kudos for trying to implement all these odd rules. Let's pray SI and KNVB can join forces and bring this as part of the official database in the future.

No staff, it's just from the staff file that I use.

Is it me you're looking for?

Awesome, thanks! I unfortunately have no experience and know-how with editing competitions and rules, so I'm unable to assist you. But can't wait to help test!

Ajax Youth Academy expansion for FM24 This .fmf file will add 19! new youth talents of one of the worlds best Youth Academies (see selected below). Special thanks to @AjaxYA on Twitter/X providing me with some info, as well as transfermarkt.co.uk of course! Including Naci Ünüvar's brother Emre and Levi Acheampong who plays in the Academy since 2015! Optional: There is another .fmf file that adds skintones and hairstyles to already existing players in the database that miss this information. wfm18 sortitoutsi.net FM24 Ajax Skintones.fmf wfm18 sortitoutsi.net FM24 Ajax Youth.fmf

Same issue, we have had this in other iterations of the game too. Main thing I do is colorfixing in the editor. Hope this will get addressed soon within a hotfix.

@Tomijssel will you also bring the file to FM24?

I noticed this bug too, but on a different screen. It's an amazing wonderkid, but I let him play 17 matches in Jong Ajax instead of the first team, then I moved him from the second team to the first team, and all his stats were gone. At the bottom you can see the amount of games he played and on the right side and in the stats menu there are no matches played for him in this season at Jong Ajax. I noticed this earlier also with players such as Bardhji that I signed, let play for the second team and then moved to the first team and boom his Jong Ajax stats were removed. This is happening AFTER the China update but with an old savegame file. It happened to me also in FM22, a good one to also take a look at is the second team of FC Twente, as players in there sometimes play 200+ competition matches for FC Twente each season - which also means something is pretty broken there.
