Darkraver13 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 So, I created new teams and competitions, but beside their unique IDs every item I create receives a random ID. What bugs me is that when I add the graphics, they only work if in the config file I type the random ID, not the unique ID. But there're other objects in the database with this random id, right? So, when adding the logo f.e. not only the club I created will have this as a logo in the game, but also some other team which this random ID belongs. Any way to get around this? Disable the use of random ID's or something? And what's the point of random IDs anyway? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdsoul Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 So you can use muliple dbc files. whenever you start editing in the editor it will start 10000000024 onwards or there abouts... only one team will have the logo once you use the random id and clear the cahce new ids cant be assigned once a game has loaded database.

Darkraver13 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 So if I understand correctly no other team is using the random ID? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Race 9 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 no they are not there can be clashes as outlined but easily resolved its better to sort out graphic files after you start game to make sure ID's are right welcome to forums:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdsoul Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yes, i have over 30 customs leagues usally from the off so add files as i plod along, just get a pen and paper or an excel sheet depending how many u are doin.

Darkraver13 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 As we are on the files, it's like last year. FM can't work with over certain amount of files. I'm excluding editor files one by one, but does anyone know how much maximum files can you have? I have 75 editor files and every time I start a new game I get a crash dump on "Setting up game database". I tried with ~30, it worked. It'll take damn too much time to delete files one by one till it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 i think about 65... you have thread aout that somewhere http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/409595-*Official*-Editor-Feature-Requests see post 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkraver13 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thanks, so now I have the difficult choice which 6 nations to axe. I still want to see a FM where I can play with the whole world activated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdsoul Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 yes its mostly facepacks that I do,.....did you know that there is a file that will replace regens with real faces:D it doesnt aways generate a face, you still get the default blanks in there, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thanks, so now I have the difficult choice which 6 nations to axe.

Roy Race 9 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 it doesnt aways generate a face, you still get the default blanks in there, it doesnt do the bald ones, but i change those with my own faces Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkraver13 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 I thought that's not possible. Having rules for more than one nation, even in advance editor. In FM 2014 I tried it, it hadn't work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkraver13 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Now I see the ID clashes. I load the Spanish file alone and it's ok. When I add custom Catalan league (used Andorra as nation) 9 teams from the Spanish regional divisions disappear. How can I sort this one out? For the fantasy Catalunya league, I created all teams from scratch. 20 teams based in 20 cities in Catalunya. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Odom Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It is possible if you merge the DB's, then sort out the config files for all of the graphic packs you have, and redoing any screwed up league rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkraver13 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I spend too much time on those league rules, and I try to stay away from DB merge. I think of duplicating all 9 newly created teams in the regional league (based on their ID I'll know which they are) and deleting the old records. The duplicates will have new IDs. This should work, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 i always use one file for teams just to be sure there is no clashes. also if you want to add more nation rules (advanced rules) to one file, make sure you make all database changes and after that you can make league systems. that way you will b sure there is no data clashes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkraver13 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 So, duplicating teams didn't work. But I had the next brilliant idea. Took 9 extincted teams and changed them completely. Names, city etc. and replaced the 9 teams in the regional league. Worked like a charm. But it's really pain in the ass, creating so many leagues. SI should really make it possible to add multiple nation rules with one file. I doubt it their programmers can't do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 are u sure about graphics? in fm14 you need to add unique id and thats it. maybe your config file is bad? i dont think they will use "random id" because random id is here only to prevent data change clashes...

Darkraver13 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Yes. At least for two of the teams. I just wanted to see which ID to use for graphic. When I'm done editing I'll add all graphic. But most important for me is, all teams in Spain to receive the right graphics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
