nine_iron Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Welcome to the 2015 Regional Databases Thread Time for another FM game!

nine_iron Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Well another year, another planned Lincs & Humber Nation. I have been tweaking my FM14 version over the year after a very low key release on the steam workshop due to me really not putting enough into making it much different from the FM13 version. I have no real huge developments planned at the moment, just addition of details here and there. I did test changing the league structure but other than stretching the lower two leagues out to 4 rounds (40 ish games) rather than 2 or 3 (both seemed to be too few games). None of the 20 team leagues really worked, the current structure just seems to fit so well. A few more awards have been added and I plan to overhaul the logos as some are out of date or caused crashes on FM14. If anyone has any thoughts or comments, suggestions or ideas please feel free to pop them here so I can include them in the next version. Not promising to build it just yet but all this FM15 hype is really getting me pumped to have a go! IIRC it would be my 7th edition (at least!) seems so long ago but I am sure I started making this back for FM08, crazy I can't even remember but it must have been around then(ish). Just musing at the moment, any other "regional" database editors still around with plans for FM15? Maybe we need to reboot the Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Had a go at making an "Lincolnshire Only" nation, just testing an idea but it looks pretty sweet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I am attempting something similar with local level leagues, I plan to use the "Region" function which can be set for each city AND the "Regional Divisions" tab under the "Competitions Tab". Combining that with multiple leagues running at each competition level should do it. I will have 4 or 5 leagues per each pyramid step from tier 4 downwards, Feeding an elite league. I myself will need to read up more on this if it doesn't work my initial expected way, thats my approach: "work it out, try it out" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 so it is possible, that is a good start Best thing to do is try, explore the editor, try things out and run a test using the editor's built in tester and validator. Have you followed my videos for the basics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 no, didn't try it yet. im preparing for next edition ;D but ill have your links in mind. I am doing all my prep in the 14 editor, 95% of my chances will carry over to the next version. Mostly the hard graft of adding items such as leagues, clubs and cities.

Fukuda Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think I'll recreate the Greenland db, the one from FM14 was quite good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 i am a bit afraid to do so as it takes around 100k changes and if any of them makes the file unusable in fm15 i'd have to redo everything. Ouch those must be some pretty serious changes then, what would make it unusable? Im curious as I have never done anything in the editor that unstable! I have changes carrying over from the moment we could for the first time! I hope to release my edit pretty much on day 1, should be able to as my changes on the day should be minimal.

dannyfc Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 So are custom leagues generally compatible version to version? I'd love to use this Soviet structure I'm playing from day one in FM 15. Just wondered if it was likely to work without having to create from scratch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 probably. if all changes are made on one version of editor then you shouldnt have any problems. however best way to find out is to load your file in new editor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake_Porter Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am trying to create Kurdistan on FM14 to see what I will be up against when I make it on FM15. It won't let me change the continent of the nation. Does anyone know why? And what I can do to change it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 go to: Program files/steam/SteamApps/common/Football Manager 2014 Editor/data/format/database and find "nation xml" file. find this in file: <!-- Continent --> <record> <flags id="field" value="Ncti" /> <translation id="name" translation_id="229389" type="use" 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_read_only" value="true" /> <boolean id="is_optional" value="true" /> </record> and change row <boolean id="is_read_only" value="true" /> to <boolean id="is_read_only" value="false" /> save file and exit. after that start editor and you will be able to change continent. to edit xml file you can use notepad ++ or some similar program Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake_Porter Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ah nice one! Cheers mate Also, I haven't really made a new nation before. Will this team be able to qualify for the Asian competitions at both international and club level? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart1874 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I plan on making Stirling (the Scottish city) into a country. Made them on previous versions by renaming Gibraltar or Andorra. Just wondering though, what would be the easiest country to rename? It gets a bit boring having to search through the editor to try and delete every player/staff/city/club which is from Gibraltar every time I want to create my own country. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stirling-as-a-nation-on-Football-Manager/220452031418796 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'm testing stuff out on the FM14 editor before the F15 editor is released so I'll give that a try. I've read stuff before about renaming Ireland or the old Russia countries but thought that involved editing xml files to make the nations active which seems a bit complicated.

(Slaps wrist) I ended up finishing 3rd in the Champions League group, after beating Olym again and sneaking a tie with Valencia. Sadly Dortmund hammered me twice and Valencia didnt loose to Olymp like I needed them too! Third year out of 4 I have finished 3rd, once was very close actually! The group was very close in the end! I always get hammered in the first round of the Euro though, this year will be different! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to edit one bit of the XML to unlock the changing continent, its changing one word from "False" to "True", the rest is done in the editor. There are guides everywhere, it is a 2 minutes job, 90% of which is just locating the file! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hopefully when I get the game (give me a couple of weeks) I will be ready to launch my Lincolnshire nation straight away with a Lincs & Humber nation to follow. I am also interested in doing Cambridgeshire this year, if anyone wants to pitch in and help, graphics and club details (ie site links, strip colours etc) or even do some editing please let me know! I think it would be interesting to do Cambs, with a Cambs/Huntingdonshire split a couple of levels down. Anyone else got any projects on the way to release?

ScbMCMXC Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Cant wait Nine Iron, always give your L&H one a game or 2 each version Would love a Cambs/Lincs one, mainly cus i live on the border between the two.

nine_iron Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Ohh a "Fan". I am fixing some small Lincs & Humber errors for this year (which are also going in my Lincolnshire only database) in my FM14 editor, also trying a new league format with reserve teams in the league "it just makes sense as you usually have a lot of lincs players in there. If you have any feedback or comments please let me know! I have considered trying to make a separate cambridge and lincs database compatible but that is a long way off. Just going to do them separate for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

berenofisio Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm really upset guys! I created a new nation on South America, created a structure of 3 divisions, this new nation have a national team, a u21 national team. Ok until here..but... The u21 team of this new nation is crashing the continental u21 championship. Is it possible edit the under21 tournament? I would like to modify the rules to 11 teams instead 10 or fix the teams to deny access to my new nation. My other problem is that my new league is not qualifying to the continental competition. A guy suggested edit the coefficientes but the coefficients just is applicable on Europe, on South America the qualifying system is based in other parameters. Solutions?

nine_iron Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Solutions? I always suggest overwriting CIS or Pre-1922 Ireland, as this is probably a bit much work to convert over but I would suggest doing that if you can. Did you create the U21 national team?

nine_iron Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Anyone interested in playing my Cambridgeshire nation?

I am just shy a few details like lower league stadia and club strip colours, apart from that it fully functioning. EDIT: Cambridgeshire Nation in FM14 Go nuts! Bring it into FM15, add things, compelte the missing bits etc. If you do compete it please note me as one of the contributors, I look forward to playing it if someone does!

letissierandhenryaregreat Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That Cambridgeshire database looks interesting, but I think Cornwall would be a great county to turn into a nation.

What he means with that is if you create or replace a nation you will have to update the international competition you want it in. Say you want Israel to play in Asia, you will need to change the EU qualifiers for EC and WC, the Asian qualifiers for AFC cup and World Cup, and do the same for every age group and such. Swapping teams might be a quick fix solution. One of the -Stans to accompany Kazakhstan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
