Wolf_pd Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 Andorra, Gibraltar, San Marino have been reworked and are ready for test. Cyprus is being reworked as we speak. Tomorrow it is Faroe Islands and I will spend Christmasday on the North American file. The best tactic has been to move the files back to basic rules, recheck them there, make changes if necessary and then convert to advanced rules and redo the edits. I have the World Cup lined up next weekend. That one still crashes during loading in the editor, so I will likely load that one up in either FM22 or FM23 editor, move it back to basic rules and then try to load it in the FM24 editor. The player file with 113000 errors has already being brought back 82000. I am doing that on the fly when I have some time left next to the other planned items. That has been mainly doing final checks on Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, before I work in advanced rules with those. Still have to do final checks on Romania (not fun), West Germany (even less fun) and *shudder* Soviet Union (that will not be fun at all....). Next month will be the big test month to see if all files are holding up, except the ones still being worked on. If files fail, there is room to fix, When this is finished, it will be boring.... Oh no, I have the Historical Divergence project 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 The CONCACAF Champions' Cup is maddening. There! I said it! How can a competition with 8 qualifiers pick up a ninth team somewhere along the way? How?! said probably every single person who ever tried to edit the CONCACAF competitions.

Wolf_pd Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 If anyone can point me to a site with a deep dive into the Yugoslav football league system below level 3, that would be very welcome. I have information down to level 5 for Slovenia, so I am good there. Information down to level 4 for Bosnia and some idea where to go with level 5. Information down to level 5 for Croatia, but I am not entirely sure it is complete (mainly level 5, rest looks good) Information down to level 4 for Montenegro, but that one looks quite straighforward Information down to level 5 for Vojvodina, so I am good there Information down to level 4 for Macedonia and an idea where to go with level 5 Information about Serbia is surprisingly lacking There could be some 'standarisation' as one can see happen through the years, which will also help me set things up easier.

All doing that in spare time, so things are progressing. Things I noted. The 246 deleted records are players that I edited, but that have been removed from the default database between FM22 and FM24. I have not deleted any players. Most of the changes are either secondary nations failed. This is because of the addition of extra option under the second nation pulldown. Rather annoying, especially considering a lot of those are changes for Slovak, Soviet or Yugoslav players. Other failed changes are mainly deleted data entries for players, things that have been fixed in the default database for instance. Anyway, I have some more days to spend on it in January and cleaning up the data. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiver Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 ALBANIA is pretty much done: Top 2 divisions are playable, with an inactive third tier (there were just 3 levels IRL at the time too). Top division splits into a championship and a relegation group after two rounds, with teams playing within their groups again (Like the classic Scotland system); the second tier does the same and then the winner of each group plays each other for the title of second tier champion. There is also a cup that begins with a group stage. And that's it, very simple league system. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiver Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 While @Wolf_pd looks into the Hungarian file which is one small issue in the advanced rules away from being ready, I am working on East Germany. Hungary will have 3 levels of football. The top tier you see there, a second division divided into two leagues, and a third division divided into 8 IIRC; there's also two cups, a normal national cup, and played i nthe same day but before the main game, a "small cup" where the two amateur teams who went the futhest in the cup play eachother. For East Germany, I have Berlin, Rostock and Schwerin filled up to the 5th/6th tier; currently working on Neubrandenburg. Depending on what I find on all the regions, the country will have 4 to 6 tiers, where in some regions 5th and 6th tier will be education guesses in some regions (because at this level usually each Kreis had their own league) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 With Hungary and Albania (pretty much) ready, we have 12 files that still need big work, which (unfortunately) are some of the absolute beasts of the bunch. The player data file is 3,5Mb large and the Soviet Union is about 1,2Mb, so there is still work to be done. But on Wednesday testing all ready-for-test files will start (I will be in bed on Monday and am in the office on Tuesday), so by the end of the month of January, I should have finalised the other 45-48 files (I always lose count). And everything depends on how quick things go with the player file in January. I have 36679 errors left from 113043 starting. I need to do several rechecks, especially secondary nations (booo!) and that will take days. But as I initially planned to clean up the errors only starting in January I already saved myself several weeks of work. Might explain why I am already on 472 hours on the editor 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Less than 15000 errors to go on the People file. While checking the changes I have noticed that the players I have moved are still at the team I intended them to be. That's a major relief, because it is the biggest workload. I am also seeing that players that I free transferred in some cases will have a new team. So there will still be some extra work. But I am expecting to have the clean-up finished on Monday or Tuesday and then it is redoing the Second Nationality changes and such. Edit: Make that less 10000 errors left. Should be finished on Monday (have other plans for the weekend) and then Monday should also see the start of rechecking the edits.

Wolf_pd Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Sometimes the editor is having a laugh at you..... It is the same thing as happened in the Soviet Union file, so I need to check that one via the Database Changes list and the Database Changes list is .....98100 items. <fill appropriate expletive here>.

Wolf_pd Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 In the meantime the competition tests are whirring on in the background.

Wolf_pd Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 In the meantime I have redone changes needed for West Germany, East Germany, Serbia (which is BIG!), Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia.

I need to finish Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo tomorrow and then it is time for the Soviet Union (another big job, but not as big as Yugoslavia). The biggest problem afterwards is the transfers for foreign players that have taken place between june 2021 and september 2023 for player I didn't touch.

Wolf_pd Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Soviet Union Nationality and Second Nationality check is done. And while I am happy with the progress I am also pretty sure this file is not going to be finished before the end of the month. I should have realised that, but the faulty edits are just more than I wished for. So I am changing tactics which means I am first going to work through moving players for the nations I have done now (the Germany's, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Soviet Union). That should give me a good idea what to expect for the others nations not yet done and will help me to work out how to do the rest. Not much trouble to report about the competition tests in the meantime. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Since I am mostly redoing/rechecking the various I made to the People file that I have in my version list (727 items right now ) I can see how keeping a good list of versions and descriptions really helps. I have already done about 500 of 727 and when all nationality checks have been done (about 52 items on my list) I can start the quick transfer items (about 90 of them), so despite not able to finish the people this month I am ahead of where I thought I would be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 That shouldn’t be too hard. Have to check how many teams are supposed to quality, but it is group stages, so that’s doable.
