Ominous77 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Hello everyone. I was wondering if anybody here have the Resource Archiver FM18 at hand and that could help me. I want to move Australia to OFC and Israel & Kazakhstan to AFC. I don't know if here is the right place on the forums to ask, so forgive me in advance. Thank you.

If you look around and better you will find this info but anyway Download FM24/23/22/21...etc Resource Archiver and launch it. I am going to say fm24 just to make things easy, of course yours is going to be 18. Click "Extract Archive" and find the file "comp editor.fmf" in your Steam folder "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data" Select a folder to extract the files in a place u can find easily In the new folder go on format--->database-----> "nation.xml" an open it. Find the following text: <!-- Continent --> <record> <flags id="field" value="Ncti" /> <translation id="name" translation_id="229389" type="use" value="Continent" /> <flags id="type" value="database_record_unique_id" /> <flags id="database_table_type" value="continent" /> <boolean id="is_client_field" value="true" /> <boolean id="is_read_only" value="true" /> <boolean id="is_optional" value="true" /> </record> ---------------- Change row <boolean id="is_read_only" value="true" /> to <boolean id="is_read_only" value="false" /> Save the xml file MAKE A BACKUP of your "comp editor.fmf" file Go to the Resource Archiver then click "Create Archive" and save the archive file in the "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data" folder. Only overwrite the existing file there if you had made a backup of it. Launch the Editor and it should work. P.S. I AM SURE THIS WILL IMPACT A LOT OF COMPETITION SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE JUST AN EXCHANGE. YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE LOT OF WORK TO DO.

Ominous77 Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 Hi. I know what are the supposed steps to do with the tool, but I don't have it, and I can't buy it anymore on Steam, that's why I was asking if somebody else has it and can help me. Thanks anyway.

Why are u unable to get it? If i go on My steam i can get the resource archiver even for fm16. U don t have to buy it, it s for free. U sure u looked properly? It s in the tools, not the games. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_pd Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 If you have the game, you should be able to find the resource archiver, as @rmpMarko says under the tools section. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous77 Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 You were right! I found it! Thanks! Another thing, can the Resource Archiver of one version be used with other versions of the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ominous77 Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 I was asking just out of curiosity, so I wouldn't have to install the same tool for multiple versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ominous77 Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 So I managed to find the nation.xml file, modify it, save it and repackaged everything again. But when I open the Editor this error pops up: Any idea why? I literally just changed the "read-only" value for the Continents part. Thank you.

Wolf_pd Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Well, the question is whether your game is installed correctly. So, is it? Because there are not much reasons why the editor doesn’t mesh with the game well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous77 Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 I have installed both the game and the editor in the same drive. I've seen multiple people having issues because they didn't do that. Also, on a side note, is it normal that after repackaging the comp editor.fmf, its size comes down? Because the new one is 35kb smaller than the original. Thanks.

Wolf_pd Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Have seen the filesize differ slightly, so that's not an issue per se. But I would say the comp file isn't the issue when you are missing essential data. Have you tried verifying your files via Steam? That might help. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf_pd Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Then I am afraid I can't help you. Seems something is either corrupt or missing, but when the verification process doesn't pick that up I am out of ideas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
