Can't find newly created staff in my game

[Coconut_dog]

Decided to start a new FM13 game and used the editor to create my close friends as non-players (coaches, scouts etc) for a bit of fun.

I've used the editor correctly to create them and saved them correctly (as far as I can see).

I checked the "Change" box at the new start up and selected the correct saved edited file.

1) When I made my pals, I started them unemployed, but they didn't turn up at all when I searched for them.

2) I then tried to engineer it so they were starting at other clubs, but set their contracts to end a couple of days into the new game, so I could sign them.

This time they appeared, but when I checked their contracts, rather than ending them on 4th July 2012, they were all set to end in May 2103.

3) The last option is to just start them at the club I'm controlling, but ideally, I'd like them to start as free agents and see where they go (or if they will sign for me).

Also had a problem getting their ugly faces to appear in the game, but I'm working on that...

couple of things did you select small/large database size?? if you have set them at other clubs sometimes the AI will give them new contracts(so you could change that in editor by stating they will leave at end of contract, perhaps make it expire a week or 2 after game starts....or you could use FMRTE to change contract in real game time) the face pack issue is easy to resolve but just have a read on skinning forum all the help is there.......cheers and welcome to the forums

Thanks KR.

I've got the database set to large with Scotland, England, Spain, Italy and Germany all ticked.

I tried setting the contract expiry to a couple of days after the game begins, with and without the "Will leave at end of contract" box ticked, but to no avail.

I haven't tried the FMRTE yet, so that's my next plan of attack.
