Eze LL Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm trying to create a new nation (fictional) in this new FM 2012 with subsequent competitions. But to be honest I find the way to go, especially to enable any of the extinct nations to use based on my new project. If someone is kind enough to explain step by step or else guide me to some specific post where you can find detailed information would be helpful.

BigHairyAndy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think what you're looking for is this: - Go to the "Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/football manager 2012 editor/format/database" directory. - Right click the nation file and select edit. - Scroll down to the record that begins with <!-- Continent --> - Remove the line under that heading which reads <boolean id="is_read_only" value="true"/> That section of the file should now read like this: <!-- Continent --> <record> <flags id="field" value="Ncti"/> <string id="name" value="Continent"/> <flags id="type" value="database_record_unique_id"/> <flags id="database_table_type" value="continent"/> <boolean id="is_client_field" value="true"/> <boolean id="is_optional" value="true"/> </record> - Restart the editor. Now, when you select a nation, you should be able to edit its continent. This will enable you to activate extinct countries by setting a continent for them. You can then edit them as normal to create your fictional country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weso Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/football manager 2012 editor/format/database That file isn't in my directory. There is no format folder. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weso Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Is it possible to create a new country, for example the Paulu national team, without having to wipe over another nation? Paulu play in Oceania, is it possible to add them to the Oceanic national championship & Pacific games without removing another nation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Hacker Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 1. From the base working location go into the "/database ui" folder. 2. Open a file called: db record lists (XML file) 3. Scroll or use a search function to find the table type you want to change. 4. In this example we will use the 'nation table'. 5. Once you have found the line <!-- nation table --> you are at the right spot. 6. Scroll down a bit more and look for these two lines: Code: <boolean id="allow_add" value="false"/> <boolean id="allow_remove" value="false"/> Note: These two lines basically indicate that adding new and removing old nations is NOT allowed. I would suggest not touching the allow_remove line, but I thought you should know about it and what it does. 7. Now change the 'false' statement in the allow_add line to 'true'. 8. Save the file, close it and restart your editor. 9. You are now able to add brand new nations to the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weso Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for that. I'm pretty stupid when it comes to these things. Where do I find "1.

Weso Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Unknown hacker, you might be able to answer this as well. If I manage to put another country in the game and I wish to add them to a competition (Pacific Games and Oceanic games for example if I pick a Pacific team), can I edit the preset continental rules on a competition such as the Oceanic National Cup so it can be played every two years instead of every four years?

Unknown Hacker Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 You'd need to completely recreate the tournament from scratch. I'm not an expert on the format of the Oceanic Nations Cup so I can't tell you how easy it would be to accurately recreate the current rule group.

Weso Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I was able to create two new countries perfectly. Cheers for that. I ran into problems when re-creating the Oceanic Nations Cup. I set it up with anyway and made it an annual tournament. However, after I did it, it was the only international tournament in the game. There was no World Cup, European Championships, etc. Is there anyway of going into the code and making a tournament like the Oceanic Nations Cup playable every year or two years rather than four years? (That should probably be a different thread) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger Crayola Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Editing the OFC Nations Cup brings about various problems, as it's also a qualifier for the World Cup and this won't be maintained in-game. As a result, you'd need to restructure the entire World Cup qualification in order to do it. Not worth the bother, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Hacker Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Don't forget that you are manually editing the editor's files. This won't necessarily improve or increase functionality in any way, especially as new games come out. The method which I gave worked fine on FM11 and FM12 but there is no guarantee that it will continue to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1985 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi. Trying to add a new nation in Europe, trying to overwrite CIS, but can't add it to Europe. Have done everything on here, but when on here: 1. From the base working location go into the "/database ui" folder.2. Open a file called: db record lists (XML file) 3. Scroll or use a search function to find the table type you want to change. 4. In this example we will use the 'nation table'. 5. Once you have found the line <!-- nation table --> you are at the right spot. 6. Scroll down a bit more and look for these two lines: Code: <boolean id="allow_add" value="false"/> <boolean id="allow_remove" value="false"/> Note: These two lines basically indicate that adding new and removing old nations is NOT allowed. I would suggest not touching the allow_remove line, but I thought you should know about it and what it does. 7. Now change the 'false' statement in the allow_add line to 'true'. 8. Save the file, close it and restart your editor. 9. You are now able to add brand new nations to the game. I can't seem to either change the 'false' statement to 'true' or delete it, or anything.
