Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Right; all I want to do is change Cardiff City kit colours in the game. I have changed all the kit graphics, all I want to do is edit the kit colours in the game so my Cardiff team play in Blue (mainly). I have created my oen edited fmf file but it doesn't work in the game (it is added to the list of data files I am using when I set up the game), the amended kits just don't show. The only other additional files I have are the real name fix files from susie. Can anyone tell me a step by step way to achieve what I want as this is really getting on my nerves.

funnylittlefrog Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm in the same position. I've changed all colours in the editor but it isn't reflected in the match engine. Is there a way just to swap the home and away kits around? That would do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfin152 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If you use the editor to change colours it will only show on a new game. You can't actually swap the colours but you can use copy and paste. To do this open the editor, go to clubs, then to Cardiff, then to kits. On either the home or away screen, at the top, select edit. Here there is an option to copy and paste the kit. Once you have done one kit, they will both be the same so you need to edit the other one yourself.

Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for your reply. I have manually changed the kits. I have only tried it on a new game (ie made the changes before I booted the game). I created an fmf file for this change and ensured it was in the active add ons list when booting the game. Do I need to do something else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfin152 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Try removing the fmf file, (I don't see why you should need it), then load the game. Any changes in the editor should be picked up by the game without the need for additional files. You haven't added anything, you have edited existing files so there should be no need for an fmf file.

Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks again for your reply. OK confused now. How do I save changes if I dont save them as an fmf file? I really dont get how the databases load/import/ save etc it makes no sense to me. do I just press "Load Database", make the changes and then how do I save those changes? I thought the only way was to create an fmf file? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfin152 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ok, lets rewind. When you edit the kits the next thing to do is save the changes. This you would do as normal. In other words, on the drop down menu, select "save editor data." This will automatically overwrite your original database with the changed one. Alternatively, you can select "save editor data as" in which case a separate file will be saved with whatever name you choose. You shouldn't have to do anything else. Just check that the file has been saved in the editor data folder, which is where the game picks it up from, not the active add ons folder. Then, when you load a new game, if you overwrote the original database it will automatically load. If you created a differently named file you will have to select it when you load the game.

Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 "save editor data" is greyed out I cant select it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 My other fmf file was saved in the editor data folder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfin152 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 In that case, did you select your database when loading the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 The only database available is default! My fmf file is amongst the editor data files again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnylittlefrog Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've done all of the above and yet still Cardiff play in red at home. All other Cardiff-related display is blue, just not the kits in the ME. I can live with it, it's just a little annoyance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Same as me funnylittlefrog. It is a huge annoyance to me though. Why make all the changes just for the ME to not change. I cant play with Cardiff in red. Rubbish!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnylittlefrog Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I won't play with Cardiff in red but then I wouldn't have before they changed back anyway, because Cardiff in red is just wrong. So nothing has changed from my perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfin152 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Providing you have done everything correctly, you should be able to select your file. Whe you start a new game and you see the box entitled "choose database", lower down that box is the editor data files drop down. Here, you need to select "custom". Then you need to select your saved fmf file in the list. Then continue loading the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheddy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yep thats what I have done Dolfin152, to the letter. It doesn't change the kit colours in the ME. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfin152 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 OK, one last thought. FM15 creates 2 folders entitled "sports interactive." Both have editor data folders. Make sure you're file is in the correct one as the game doesn't pick up info from both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnylittlefrog Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I think we're just going to have to wait. Apparently this will be fixed in the next data update, whenever that might be. Thanks for trying to help though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastairhufc Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Have you got a 3D kits pack installed/do Cardiff have their 3D kit in game by default? If so then swap the file names over. EDIT: I just looked on the resource archiver and they do have their 3D kits in the game by default, you will need to swap them using that as well then (Change 'cardiff home' to 'cardiff away' and 'cardiff away' to 'cardiff home').
