Super Bladesman Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 For you guy's that have downloaded this, how about we do a challenge/sign-up with this editor, anyone got any ideas? I'm sure many people want to play their local teams and are gonna be in various different levels though I'd love to see that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I don't think the 'lnc' file would make any difference. The other trouble with the new FA Cup is that the qualifying rounds aren't regionalised (as they are in real life). This is an editor issue, of course. Regards, C.

Super Bladesman Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 FA Cup on first look does seem to be butchered, SB. But if it works then it works so why not.Would an inc file be able to solve the competition round name changes or not? I tried hard-wiring 6 qualifying rounds directly into the xml itself, and the game crashed. FM10 has to be thinking up the names somehow so it may be configurable. Better a butchered FA Cup than one that doesn't involve lower league sides, to my mind. Especially as it is only really the round names obviously wrong. It should be noted that I've only added teams down to Level 9 for the FA Cup; there is room in the first qualifying round for more teams if people wanted to add Level 10 - I could just never decide on a fair way of adding them as there wasn't space for them all. Adding the extra teams would be easy enough - you'd just have to rebalance the numbers of teams entered into the opening TWO qualifying rounds so that they worked out correctly and gave the correct number of teams to go forward to round 3. You'd also have to then edit the total number of teams in the competition directly in the xml (if you change the number in the editor it will reset to 256...) - this is easy: just open the xml in notepad, press Ctrl+F to bring up the search window and type in the current number of teams. When it's found it, change it to the new number... I've already raised this issue with SI anyway, so maybe a patch will sort us out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 How do people feel about my butchery of the FA Cup? This was probably what I was most nervous about. It's technically correct, just the round names that are wrong (and lacking in TV matches) Having the full competition is more important than the round names IMO - I've never objected to playing in the 'EURO Cup' after all. Looking forward to the Vase Also, having teams down to lvl 9 seems suitable. At that level I think you start to get clubs who don't enter the FA Cup, and at level 10 I'm reasonably sure there are plenty who don't. It's a good carrot if you're starting at level 10 as well.

Hendonboy Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Good work Few changes I've already spotted: London Senior Cup The round dates you've got are all Saturdays as the website says "To be played by". In reality, all but a very few ties are played midweek, so these are best switched to the relevant Tuesday: 1) 6/10/2009 2) 3/11/2009 3) 1/12/2009 QF) 5/1/2010 SF) 2/2/2010 Final - usually the Wednesday before the end of the Isthmian League season, so 21st April would be best. All games kick off at 19:30 rather than 3pm and you're missing the 1 under 'legs' for the quarter final. The winner of the competition gets £2k in prize money and the loser 1k (based on last season). FA Cup The step 3 (level 7) clubs should get a bye for an extra round - we enter in the first qualifying round in reality - the round between the 'rest' and the Blue Square North/South one.

Jorge Campos Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 When you say "pretty faithful recreations", what does that mean? Also, is there a way to use only level 8 from your work? I'd rather not implement any levels where promotion is not 100% accurate. I'm curious to know what, if anything, deviates from reality at level 8 in your XML.

Awesome - and if I read that correctly, only clubs from the top 9 levels are involved. There's a new site also by Mike Avery (I think that's his name) who is aiming to take over the non-league website mantle following the sad death of Tony Kempster. I made these changes quite late on - only last Monday, I think, as Francis Cole kept banging on about the FA Cup so I thought I should have a go.

Peacemaker7 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 hmm interesting. I've made my own Scottish league set up, which works pretty well and also a Faroes one. When I load up your file, along with the Scottish one and the Faroes, the English leagues won't work. But they work seperately, and if I take the Scottish file off, the English one works. Can't think what can be causing such a clash. I did have the Anglo Scottish cup activated, wondered if it might be that so took it out but didn't solve it. The Faroes one doesn't cause any problems at so there must be something the other two don't like about each other :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
