DrBernhard · November 23, 2008

Last update: 2008/12/02

Source code (checkout via SVN): http://code.google.com/p/fm2009scoutframework/

Sample application (including assemblies): http://www.100procentjan.nl/fm2009/FMScoutFrameworkSample.zip

Assemblies only: http://www.100procentjan.nl/fm2009/FrameworkAssemblies.zip

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever wanted to build your own FMScout, FMRTE? Ever wanted to do crazy stuff to the ingame database, but no button in FMEditor which provided the function? Now you can build everything you want on your own!

Today, the very first version of the FM 2009 Scout/Editor Framework is released! A ready-to-use assembly, which can be included in any .Net project (both Visual Basic and C#). The Framework gives you the ability to query the database using LinQ, make changes to the game's objects, and produce your own personalized editor!

Main features

* Query the ingame database

* Find players, clubs, staff, cities, continents, stadiums, teams, etc.

* Make realtime changes to the database

* Create complex filters

* Get the active player, and show his stats immediately

* Perform batch operations on a whole bunch of players

* Open source!

Wanted to get started

First of all, if you just want to get started, grab the SampleApplication from SVN or use the direct download link (above), open the (C#) project in VS2008, and hit the compile button.

If you want a little tutorial, click http://www.100procentjan.nl/fm2009/tutorial.htm

Feel free to contribute

Just join on Google Code, make cool additions to the framework (or solve some issues ;-)) and check your code back in!

Donations?

Please don't! Buy yourself a beer!

--------------

Last changes:

* Contract works as it's supposed to be

* Co-Contract and Loan-contract supported

* Added happiness and squad number (under Contract)

* Shortlist export in Interface.Common

* PositionalSkills.ToString() for directly seeing the pos. skills as a string value

* Added WSM as supported process, might help some steam WSM users

* Non-playing staff bug, shows now all the np staff in the game

this is for you

very appreciate for "open source" stuff from such guys

will be nice if somebody will do open source game like FM

megafan2005 · November 23, 2008

Just looked through the stuff don't really understand how it all works all I want to do is have my aberdeen squads CA's and PA's

DrBernhard · November 23, 2008

It is a framework for developers, not to be used by end users.

megafan2005 · November 23, 2008

It is a framework for developers, not to be used by end users.

Im not totally inexperienced btw Im just not sure how the whole framework works as I never used a Microsoft Visual Dev suite before (Y)

DrBernhard · November 23, 2008

Fire up Visual Studio, Add references to the project (as shown in the tutorial), and create a FMDataContext object. Add a DataGridView to your form, and a button, doubleclick the button, and add the following code:

DataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;

Club club = fmDataContext.Clubs.Single(c=>c.Name=="Your club name");

DataGridView1.DataSource = (from p in fmDataContext.Players where p.Team != null && p.Team.Club == club select new { Name = p.FirstName + " " + p.LastName, CA = p.CurrentPlayingAbility, PA = p.PotentialPlayingAbility }).ToList();

The grid will now populate with all your players, including columns for their CA and PA.

Scoham · November 23, 2008

Anyone want to have a go at creating a player skin and hair colour editor, since its not yet possible with the official editor.

bonsai · November 23, 2008

Great Stuff. I just did a very quick test and it works fine (and it was the first .NET project I ever created )

Aldart · November 23, 2008

Wow, this is exactly what I've been dreaming of all those years.. Going to start playing with this right now.

Broode · November 23, 2008

Does it work in Visual Basic 6 ?

DrBernhard · November 23, 2008

Does it work in Visual Basic 6 ?

Not by default, although you can compile the assemblies to be available through COM, will be some work though. Just google for '.net assemblies visual basic 6'.

megafan2005 · November 23, 2008

Urgh im sure im following everything but it just refuses to work

DrBernhard · November 23, 2008

Using Visual Studio 2008? What is the message of the compiler?

Can you run the SampleApp when you download it?

megafan2005 · November 23, 2008

I am using 2008. The Compiler says there is an error but im none the wiser on how to fix it and yes the sample app does run.

DrBernhard · November 23, 2008

Have you added the 'using...' statements, as stated in the top of the tutorial document. Can you post the compiler errors, that'd give way more insight.

Cin-cout · November 23, 2008

I cant get this to work for some reason...

Yes I have .

}

Im sorry for the trouble and I am very grateful for your help I am able to make an application look fairly nice but getting it to work is the problem

DrBernhard · November 23, 2008

You have to delete the following code:

this.ClubsComboBox.DataSource = fmDataContext.Clubs.OrderBy(c => c.Name).ToList();

Then you have to add a DataGridView to your form (in Design View), with the name 'DataGridView1'.

If this doesn't work, rename 'public partial class MainForm' to 'public partial class Form1'. If this still doesn't work, please ZIP your complete folder, and upload it, so I can have a look.

DJLM82 · November 23, 2008

Which visual studio version do I need?

megafan2005 · November 23, 2008

Which visual studio version do I need?

Microsoft Visual C# 2008

DJLM82 · November 24, 2008

Microsoft Visual C# 2008

Is Visual Studio 2008 express ok, or has to be the real deal?

DrBernhard · November 24, 2008

VS 2008 Express is good enough for creating your own app using the framework. For editing the framework VS Professional is required.

DrBernhard · November 24, 2008

Microsoft Visual C# 2008

Actually, any version will do. Also VB.Net and Managed C++.

matt4ani · November 24, 2008

This is superb. You are a true legend.

goldorakiller · November 24, 2008

You are a "MASTER" DrBernard !!!

Can this work with savegame or adapted for it ?

markec123 · November 24, 2008

This is actually a tool for creating FM Scout or editor? Has anyone make something yet? He could upload it. I don't know how to do that stuff.

RodrigoL · November 24, 2008

Good job! i'll take it to do my own scout :thup:

neevesc · November 24, 2008

Excellant work. I'll have a look this evening:thup:

           }
       }

   }

}

Whenever I run this and press the button, it gives an error saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

fmDataContext is null, any help would be appreciated.

deep_dave · November 24, 2008

If you get errors, please say which line the error was on. This will make it easier for us all.

Cin-cout · November 24, 2008

foreach (Player player in fmDataContext.Players)

this line was giving the error, NullReferenceException was unhandled - Object reference was not set to an instance of an object

Y.C.H · November 24, 2008

When I'm using a LINQ with Player.Age with criteria, it will flow an exception

var PlayerCollection =

from p in GlobalVar.FMDataContext.Players.AsEnumerable()

where p.Age >= 18 && p.Age <= 24

and ...................

select p;

DrBernhard · November 24, 2008

foreach (Player player in fmDataContext.Players)
this line was giving the error, NullReferenceException was unhandled - Object reference was not set to an instance of an object

Can you verify that:

- FM2009 is running

- That you have version 9.01

- That your process is called fm

- That your code reaches the fmDataContext = new FMDataContext();

When I'm using a LINQ with Player.Age with criteria, it will flow an exception
var PlayerCollection =

from p in GlobalVar.FMDataContext.Players.AsEnumerable()

where p.Age >= 18 && p.Age <= 24

and ...................

select p;

Was a bug in the datetime parsing, have fixed it, new assembly available through SVN or via the Sample Application download link.

Cin-cout · November 24, 2008

FM2009 is running, version is 9.01 and the process is fm.exe, I assumed the code was reaching that point to give the error.

Would I be best validating it with

if (fmDataContext != null) { }

or something?

DrBernhard · November 24, 2008

PM'd you the link with the zipped up folder of the project thank you again

Open your project in Visual C# 2008, click once on the form, and go in the right properties screen to the icon showed below, go to 'Load' and select 'MainForm_Load':

Then click on the 'Aberdeen' button, choose 'Click' and select 'button1_click':

DrBernhard · November 24, 2008

Well, if your application reaches your form_load then everything is fine, and there won't be any check necessary. Do you also have problems running the SampleApplication ?

Cin-cout · November 24, 2008

yes to be honest, it wasnt working, it didnt load anything when I pressed any of the buttons.

DrBernhard · November 24, 2008

Do you have Visual Studio Professional available? Then you can debug through the load process, to see what's going on (in the framework sourcecode).

megafan2005 · November 24, 2008

Ive tried the club name as well as the ID im so close and so grateful for your help. If/After I get this working I will touch it up graphically and release it with full credits to you of course.

Cin-cout · November 24, 2008

Yes I have that available, I'll have a look at it when I get home from work. Thanks

You need to have the complete full name of the club, or you can try something like this if you are for example looking for 'AGOVV Apeldoorn':

fmDataContext.Clubs.Single(c=>c.Name.ToLower().StartsWith("agovv"));

Make it 'aberdeen' instead of 'Aberdeen'.

Cin-cout · November 24, 2008

got mine to work, thanks for the help DrBernard. The framework is brilliant.
