Ominous77 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi! I'm trying to make a continental competition in the same file where I'm also creating leagues for other countries. Since I deleted the basic editor part in XML, I can add as many nations as I want in a single file, but for some reason, I can't get a continental competition working. I add it, add the continent, set up everything and then, when I go and test inside the Editor, nothing happens. And they don't show up in the game. I tried putting it under "International Rules", and it did run, but that's not right for a continental competition (like the UCL), right? Thanks!

rusty217 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Generally things should be in different files. I think there are some tricks to get multiple things together (you mentioned you've already done that to include multiple nations in one file) but I'd personally recommend against that. More chance things go wrong if you cram it all into 1 file. Plus I doubt the in-editor test even picks up the continental competitions and only actually tests the national ones. So there could be an issue there somewhere, it just doesn't tell you because it's not testing for that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous77 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 I managed to get it working by merging two Nation rules files with one Continental rule file. Then I created another two Nations leagues, where the winners qualify to another continental cup (different continent). Now I'm trying to figure out how to make a competition which involves those two competitions winners, like a Club World Cup. Is it Club Continental rules or International rules?

And how do I configure it? I just ignore the "Nations" tab? I guess that I don't have to select anything in "Continent". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that I don't have to select anything in "Continent". Depends exactly what you want. The Nations and Teams tabs are for setting up a qualification system. It'll highlight the positions that will qualify for the continental competition on those nation's league tables, like the current continental competitions do. It'll also remove any nations you choose from the default continental competition. If you want your competition to exist alongside the default competitions, or want some other kind of qualifying setup then ignore both of those and setup the team selection within the tournament itself instead. Personally I have much more experience with the latter since I like my competitions to exist alongside the default continental competitions. So I just use instructions like Get Best Teams and choose the league within the competition itself rather than having a qualifying system. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but only having my Club World Championship under a "Competition" rule is not allowing me to see the compeition in the game. It doesn't show. I already have the qualification in place but I cannot test it. Any reason as to why I cannot see the competition? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned before when combining multiple sets of rules into 1 file it probably won't test for some competitions because it doesn't expect them. So the editor will probably verify fine without even testing that competition so it won't highlight any errors in it. Edit: Plus you also need it on the Competitions page of the continent too. Or World in this case. You don't need to put anything on the Nations/Teams pages but you do need to add your competition to the competitions page.

Ominous77 Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 In FM17 I don't have a "World" option to choose, so I cannot access to Advanced Rules with the Continental rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous77 Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Anyone have an idea about this? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous77 Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 I managed to solve this! I added the competition in all the continents so now it shows up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
