Ah ok, that way. every file named Foreign Player Rule can be used for that. Those are the Advanced Rules foreign player rules and the easiest to check out and see what I did exactly. Only Foreign Player Rule not to use are the continent ones as these only have the transfer rules in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 I am getting some questions about this mod and the future of it via PMs. As the questions and answers are interesting for everything, I will answer them here Will there be expansions on the Eastern European competitoons? Depends on time and effort, but the answer is yes for Yugoslavia, Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and DDR. The answer is no for Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland. What about updates? That depends on the feedback I get. I have received some remarks about teamnames and those will probably amended in an update. Any chance this will be done for FM21? No. FM22 is around the corner and the FM21 editor isn't the best version Will we see a FM22 version then? Not saying no to that, but it depends on the FM22 editor and time and effort. I am looking at my current files how to do things better and quicker (this is a habit from my work). Also, a FM22 version would take time away from the FM20 expansions! Since you got sick, things have taken a lot longer, couldn't you do this for FM22 in, say 3 months? Yes, things would have gone quicker if I hadn't gotten sick, but there were a lot of things I had to find out from scratch how they worked in the editor. That's all gained knowledge and can be readily used in a FM22 version. I am not saying I can do a next version in 3 months, but less than 6 months is possible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 so i saw some very minor things. as for example luxembourg, there are some teams that didn´t exist at that time, which were founded after 2000, and some very popular teams who existed in that period aren´t in the database.

Wolf_pd Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Yes, that's the case. I have rebuild some of the Easter European countries, but no changes were made to Western Europe except for West Germany. That means that teams that disappeared have not been resurrected and teams that came into existence after 1988 are in the database and remain so.

\'Appy \'Ammer Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) An easy question to answer I'm sure... I have used the real name fix for competitions ever since I bought Fm20. Would this be the reason I still have Champions League, and Europa League names showing as the original files were removed in the 20. 1 update? Is the easiest way to change this by altering the edt file, or putting the original files back? Would doing the latter allow your file to change things?

This saves processing speed, but ensures the foreign-player rules are all loaded. Not loading an European nation or China will mean the competition revert to their FM20 default foreign player rules If I add / remove leagues during my career does this mess up the foreign player rules? I have loaded all European countries and progress is slow. I've kept china in view only. I tend to have 8 to 10 countries playable and swap and change as my career progresses. My one criticism of the add/remove league feature is you can't move a league to view only once you have started a save. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Odd. They are blocked to be transferred from age 14-45 and Mexico or Brazil does not transfer those players.

\'Appy \'Ammer Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) After a holidaying for a season that took nearly 24 hours to do with every Euro league loaded, I have been checking the teams that qualified for the European competitions. I have a problem understanding the West German entrants. Bayer Levekusen 04 did the double and entered the European Champions Cup. Shalke, Bayern, Dortmund, and Koln were entered into the UEFA Cup. Hoffenheim were entered into the Cup Winners' Cup. However, Shalke were the defeated finalists of the German Cup and should have been entered into the ECWC instead of Hoffenheim. The latter should have been put into the UEFA Cup due to finishing 2nd in the league. Or am I missing something? I have randomly checked about 10 countries and this is the first I can't explain.

What happens is here is the implementation in an UEFA rule from a few years back. As there is no longer a distinction between Cupwinners cup and Europa League, the runner-up no longer gets the Cupwinners place, and instead is filled from the standings. This is on my list to do. I have the solution, namely setting the exact European qualification in each national competition, so it needs 25 updated files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In La Liga Barcelona did the double and Alaves lost to them in the Cup. They finished low down in the league and consequently got no European football the next season. Real Madrid (2nd) were put into the Cup Winners' Cup, and Seville (6th) got into the UEFA Cup. Another reason to hate UEFA 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The realistic weather files shouldn't be an issue. I didn't remove cities or local regions, only moved them between countries. Based on the description in the thread the Smarter AI files should not give issues either. Local derbies file could give issues since some derbies are no longer valid. I have reworked some derbies/rivalries. So there could be some clashing data. Also, with some of the new countries derbies will be missing.

Reiver Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Bulgarian Teams Logos Spoiler In this file you'll find logos for Bulgarian teams and competitions, as well as trophies for the main competitions. - Whenever there was a record online, the logos are the ones teams would have used during the communist era, or the closest possible to that time - This was done to the best of my ability as a non-Bulgarian reader and non-Cyrillic alphabet user. A handful of lower league teams do not have logos, I was unable to find them, but you will rarely have contact with them. - I have also sent all name changes that are needed and were not in effect on the game to Wolf_pd, so there should be some changes there too soon. - The folder needs to be put into folder: C:\Users\<Your Computername>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\graphics Bulgaria.zip 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Seeing a few things. West Germany needs some tightening up in the Eastern Europe transfer rules. There is indeed a loophole left in the Iron Curtain Fix coming For Brazil and Argentina it seems two values are interfering with each other, which allows for some unwanted transfers as well. This happened after a beta find where the fix made things worse (oh, the irony) Fix coming Also seeing a few East Germans appearing in West Germany, which I thought I had completely fixed, but I think this is the game and not my edit, since there are also East Germans randomly appearing in Romania, France, Spain and Italy, which have not started in East Germany.

\'Appy \'Ammer Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I didn't know this to be the case, and it may well be with edited databases, but the add/remove feature is not accessible. You can remove leagues that you have started with, but you cannot add any leagues or divisions. This is a real shame and maybe it is something that is hardcoded within the confines of the game? I usually play with 10 leagues or so and change them every now and then. In doing this I accepted I was losing the foreign rules that @Wolf_pdhad created but I am keen to use the old style European club tournament formats. But this has screwed that idea up. The only way to play this is by loading all 57 countries and keeping them like that. I know I could pick view only but I don't like to limit where my career would take me to. (China is the exception) The player count exceeds my recommended limit by 19,000 players on a small database. I will risk crashes pursuing this. I'm disappointed as I love the look of this. I take it there is no way to get that Add Leagues button to activate? Edited June 29, 2021 by \'Appy \'Ammer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
