laBOMBA Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So in previous versions it was possible to create a new nation by editing one of the non-active nations in the editor. The only thing you had to do to be able to assign this newly created nation to a continent is open "db record lists" with notepad -> search for "<!-- nation table -->" -> change "<boolean id="allow_add" value="false" />" into "<boolean id="allow_add" value="true" />" -> close and save. How can we do this with the fm18 editor? The file structure is completely different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laBOMBA Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Ok, got it. In case others are struggling, follow this guide: Download the FM18 Resource Archiver from Steam and launch it. Click "Extract Archive" and find the file "comp editor.fmf" in your Steam folder "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2018\data" Select a folder to extract the files to In the new folder, find "nation.xml" an open it. Note that there are 2 files called "nation.xml", but only 1 has the following text: <!-- 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> Change row <boolean id="is_read_only" value="true" /> to <boolean id="is_read_only" value="false" /> Save the xml file Before you go to the next step, make a backup of your "comp editor.fmf" file in case the process goes wrong for whatever reason Go to the Resource Archiver and package the file back together: Click "Create Archive" and save the archive file in the "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2018\data" folder. Only overwrite the existing file there if you had made a backup of it. Launch the Editor and it should work. Happy Editing! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to go to Home folder and to hit ctrl+H . this way you will be able to see hidden folders. after that go to .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2018/data folder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmonit Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Anyone else have a problem with new nations not joining the European Championship Qualifying Rounds? I made a European fictional nation and made it a full Fifa member. In fm17, this is usually sufficient for the game to pick up the new country and let it participate in the qualifications of both WC and EC. In fm18, I did the exact same but the new nation only seems to be part of the WC qualification, not the EC. I've holidayed for 10 seasons but still nothing. Am I missing something?

Toads Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) I can't find the <Boolean id="is_read_only" value="true" /> instead, I have this: <!-- Continent --> <record> <flags id="field" value="nfrc"/> <translation id="name" value="Continent" type="use" translation_id="229389"/> <flags id="type" value="database_record_unique_id"/> <flags id="database_table_type" value="continent"/> <boolean id="is_optional" value="true"/> <list id="dependencies"> <record field="nfrn" exists="false"/> <record field="fren" exists="false"/> <record field="nfrr" exists="false"/> <record field="nfra" exists="false"/> </list> </record> Edited January 4, 2018 by Toads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
