RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Hi, super excited to get my save started and trying to update the 2 databases I use every year, I've run into serious issues rendering my save a non-starter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Why has deleting all the awards in one database (the one with custom teams and players) overrides the database with only awards (nearly 3000 edited awards) and how do I merge them so that they behave? I have been up all night trying different formulas, including having the awards alphabetically higher than the player db but no such luck. This is an absolute nightmare. Was so excited about playing with both them but now I’m left with the more important database having no functioning awards (not even the ballon d’or). If I start a save with only the awards it works fine (sans the ballon d'or) but as soon as I load them together or merge them or upload them both separately, I am left with the sore sight of a world without awards. Thanks in advance! Edited November 8, 2022 by RegenHairColour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metal_guitarist Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 The delete in one file will override the other files. I'm struggling to think of a good solution right now, will have a think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Thanks for responding @metal_guitarist. That's awful news. It's impossible for me to redo a 4 year running database with thousands of changes. LMK if you think of anything, much appreciated! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Will pay someone seriously to help me with this.

CoffeeFueledCurmudgeon Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I can only think that this is possible in XML using something that spots identical lines or duplicates? But, I'll be honest, coding XML isn't my thing, so I'm assuming it can be done. What's in ZJSBFM23.fmf? I get that the first is an awards update, but whats this one?

Robbles Quin ®™ Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 like last year there was a bug whether intentional or on purpose made loading 2 separate player files impossible to work together (or messed up the ID system). for example a transfer update and my Japanese player update. This seems to be an extension to this or just hasn;t been checked so far and should be logged for a fix. now the best thing would be to load the players file in the editor and then add in the awards, but as you know it means if you wanna delete retires players or anything you would have to either undelete the changes made to custom players making it quite tedious.

RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Thanks for your suggestion but I don't know how to do that @CoffeeFueledCurmudgeon. ZJSB is the large db with 4 years of custom players, teams etc. I stupidly deleted all the awards and now there are no awards in my save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 That's such a shame @Robbles Quin ®™. I managed to have a separate awards db and this custom db simultaneously with FM22 and it worked perfectly, hardly any crashes well into the year 2062. I'm not totally clear on what you are suggesting. It would take a lifetime to remake all the players, staff and teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not totally clear on what you are suggesting. It would take a lifetime to remake all the players, staff and teams. i.e for my japan database since there are half a million changes alone in the PGE, i have my players file split into 5-6 parts based on leagues and then merged them into one complete file before release. I then add in awards on top of the merged file meaning awards and players are in one file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 I have tried to merge the two files but it doesn't work. What do you mean by splitting into parts @Robbles Quin ®™? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 One option: Try to vary the file order. Right now they are loaded in alphabetical order, but rename them 1. <filename> and 2. <filnename>. That might help. Have to look deeper into the files to make sure I find another option.

RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Thanks for getting to me on this @Wolf_pd. I had a really good feeling renaming the files 1. and 2. would work, however it did not. Such a shame. Let me know if you think of anything else.

RegenHairColour Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) @Robbles Quin ®™ the merging in FM22 and porting to FM23 didn't work I'm afraid. Really had my hopes of for that one. Wonder why as it appears they are all together. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion!

RegenHairColour Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 This was the result of merging the files in the FM22 editor and porting them over to FM23. As you can see, the awards appear to be there and in tact however when attempting to load a save, none of them exist. It’s baffling. I just want to start my save but I love awards.

MorrisseyMuse Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Oooh that is a bugger! do you usually create a separate file of just awards? I'll have a looksy and see if I can try to get round the issue somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegenHairColour Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Killing the bloody DJ this is! I do usually have 2 separate ones yes. Thanks international playboy @MorrisseyMuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisseyMuse Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hehe, bonus for the Mozza references! okies mate, try this file. I duplicated all of the awards in the editor and it seems to have done the trick, as the editor only deleted the initial awards when I merged the two files together. My PC has gone a bit haywire at the mo with FM, so I've not been able to do much testing of it I'm afraid, but it looks promising. Give it a shot anyway and good luck!
