Where to find files such as inter_copa_america?

[fraudiay79]

Does anyone know where to find the international competition files that show in Advanced Rules menu of the editor?  I'm specifically looking for the 'inter_copa_america' as seen in the attached screenshot.

I have already checked the comp.fmf archive and did not find it there.

 

[krlenjushka]

copa america.xml

[fraudiay79]

Thank you

[Wolf_pd]

How do you create those XMLs? Might make my rework a lot easier (I think).

[krlenjushka]

You can extract them from editor - add nation to specific comp - in this case i added nation serbia to copa america in database. After that you add nation rules --> add lower division--> convert to advanced.  You will have copa america file in serbian list of competitions. Delete all other files - leave only copa america. Delete that 1 change in database and extract xml.

How can I edit registration rules for continental club cups?

[krlenjushka]

Its very difficult. I managed to do it for champions  league but i think i had some issues - cant remember tbh.

Anyway you need ectract for example champions league using this method. After that add new continental file to advanced rules list without any database changes. Continental rules must be set to "flexible rules" - its old one "overrides rules" mode. This option is hidden on new editor for some reason (i asked SI about that and still waiting for answer) but can be set.

Set new fixture rule with all registration rules or whatever you want.

In champions league file - set new fixture rule number to use. You have already 4-5 hardcoded fixture rules so you need to set number to 5,6,7 -or higher although  you fixture rule have number 0 in fixture rule list.  Im not sure what number but its first empty after hardcoded. Also champions league file should be set to "flexible rules".

[Jas80]

Thanks for your answer.

I tried it, but I can't set "flexible rules" for continent and champions league. Where is this option?

[krlenjushka]

Its removed by SI for some reason - this can be set in xml using notepad ++ or some similar editing program.

How?

[ratio1618]

Could we not pull these files with the resource extractor?

[fraudiay79]

How?

1) a) Take a backup of your comp editor.fmf file

b) Open the Resource Archiver and extract the comp editor.fmf file into a folder.

2) In the folder locate the file 'advanced rules.xml' (It should be in comp editor > format > rule group > advanced)

3) Open the advanced rules.xml in Notepad++

4) Locate the following in the file

<!-- release version -->

 

5) In that section change the following field to 'false'

<boolean id="debug_only" value="true" /> -------------->   <boolean id="debug_only" value="false" />

(You can also make the same change in the field below  <!-- version --> which is for debug mode)

6) Save changes and use the Resource Archiver to create the archive and save over the existing on in your FM20 folder.

7) Open the editor and load your competitions in advanced mode, you should now see the options

[Jas80]

Thanks @fraudiay79, now I can select "flexible rules", but I tried a lot for editing registration rules, but it doesn't work. 

There are what I made:

1) extracted Champions League xml like @krlenjushka said:

Delete that 1 change in database and extract xml.

2) added Rules to Advanced Rules List, then I selected Continent in Type and Flexible Format Rules in Mode

 

3) opening Rules, in Continent I selected Europe, then in Fixture Rules I added Rules 0, then I edited Squad Selection Rules

 

4) in Uefa Champions League -> General -> Fixture Rules Index I wrote 5 (also 6 and 7), then saved

I started a new career selecting this file, but rules remain the same! 

Can you help me, please? Where am I wrong? Thanks

[krlenjushka]

Im not sure how many rules are hardcoded. Try to go up to 12-13. I forgot because i made this for fm17 last time. Or 18 not sure.

[ratio1618]

So using this method can i extract the Vanarma north and south files and also the OFC champions league and **** around with em?

[krlenjushka]

Probably

[Jas80]

Thanks for reply, but nothing. I tried 12, 13, 16 but registration rules remain the same.

[krlenjushka]

Ok upload your file and i will take a look. Probably i forgot something.

[Jas80]

cl-fixrules.xml

[krlenjushka]

Its ok now.

 

cl test.xml

[Jas80]

Thanks a lot, @krlenjushka! Now it works!

What was the problem?

Another issue: now I can't register players: do I set registration dates for the competition?

Europe should be set to fixed - not flexible rules. I forgot that.

You need to add registration first - its empty in your fixture rule

[Jas80]

Ok, thanks. I'll try it

[Jas80]

I tried to add registration dates, but, when I start a new career, I can't select any players for the Champions League.

What's the problem?

Not sure - i think you need to set selection value to "custom". Also in registration section - one of 2 options doesnt work - this was case earlier on fm17 and fm18 so i guess its still broken. Registration periods i think. Use other option if this is broken.

 

[Jas80]

I tried to set registration periods, but nothing.

This is the situation of my file:

 

EDIT: I simulated until September 2nd, but I can't select players for the Champions League (see image)

 

My file: cl-registration.xml

Registration dates and periods are ok. I just changed fixture rules number in champions league to -1 because you have set custom competition.

Thanks @krlenjushka, I tried your file, but I think there's a bug (also in mine): I must register players twice, one for my edited rules and one for the original (see pictures)

I see rules for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup on this screen shot. Does this mean the rules are active? Thanks for clarifying!

[ratio1618]

Wait so how do i extract these default databse continetal comps? I dont quite understand @krlenjushka

guide

[Nick134]

@krlenjushka quick question - I’m trying to remove the foreign player restrictions for the AFC Champions League and AFC Cup. I’ve followed the method as highlighted above, and have added the nation as ‘Indonesia.’

I then added nation rules, add lower divisions etc. I have the AFC Champions League and AFC Cup competitions there, but there is no ‘Asia’ continental file. Any ideas?

 

[krlenjushka]

You need to create that "asia" file.

[Nick134]

Ok - so I add an ‘Asia’ continent file, so ‘fixed format rules’, and link the fixtures rules index in the Asia file to the ACL and Asia Cup, as ‘fixtures rules index’ = 0 

I tried this and it still came up with the old hardcoded rules.

[krlenjushka]

Try to change fixture rule number in your competition to 4,5,6. You have several hardcoded rules and your added rule is next free number. You can add it like rule 0 in fuxture rules list but real number is 4,5,6... im not sure exactly.

Ok I'll keep trying - I added it as '17' and '18' for AFC CL and AFC Cup respectively but it didn't work. I'll keep going.

Another point - do I have to create two 'Asia files' - one that is 'flexible' and another that 'overrides' or is just 1 enough?

Thanks for your help on this matter.

[krlenjushka]

Sorry my mistake - just set like this:

 

 

Under competition set -1. In fixture rules list add "competition" setting.

[Nick134]

Oh perfect, thank you very much for your help! I'll let you know how I get on via PM.

Could anyone help me understand some of the steps of this?

I can get to the point where the continental competition is in advanced rules within the nation rules - but I do not know how to delete the "other files" so that I export only the continental cup.

I cannot find any way to make it so only the continental cup appears on the list of advanced rules, which I am guessing the step is intending me to do. I have the nations rules and the other competitions in the nation showing under advanced rules as well as well.

You can delete all other files from list if you go to "list" section of advanced panel, mark your files and click remove. Save your file and you will have only that specific competition in advanced list. Problem is this - its still "nation rules" and best way to get rid of this is to manualy remove "basic" part of editor from xml. Its listed as "rule_group" in xml file and you can delete it with notepad ++ or some similar program.  Delete everything from opening      <record id="rule_group">   line

 

 

to closing "record" line

 

 

As you can see notepad ++ mark closing record line when you click on opening line. Just mark everything between and delete it.  Save your file and thats it.  Its basic text editing- just need to understand what to delete.

Thank you very much! I'm pretty new to the advanced editor (if that wasn't already made obvious by my question), did not know about removing from the "List". 

Really appreciate you taking the time to break it down for me.

Question, how do we test rules when we are done?

[krlenjushka]

No need for editor test. Only reliable test is in-game test. Editor test is here only to help rookies. Also test often gives some errors for nothing. I use this method for 10 years and never had any issues. TBH some bugs in the past was related to "basic editor" part in the file - especially dbc files.

I tried to explain this in bugs forum but SI changed staff related to editor bugs and i couldn't explain this to a new guy.

BTW this is good way to learn how to set almost everything without any test.

I don't disagree with you but when I come in-game it doesn't choose the editor file because it hasn't been tested. How to get it activated in game?
