Stan13 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Search google for FM Scout and you will find a link to Beta Version for 8.02. Also on the site is a list of things you need to do to make it work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerswild Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Stan, I don't see a new BETA there was one out about 2 months ago, but failed to work once the save game got above 100 MB's. Anyway, if you have a link to this please post it on here I am sure there are a ton of people who would be intersted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan13 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Not sure about it crashing above a certain file size. My save game is 94mb and all is well (so far!!).

big_bob Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 It works with 8.0.2. Here is what you got to do. In the"Preferences" screen untick "compress save games" option and save your game.

fmj Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yep, works for me as well. Amazing! I have patched up with 8.0.2 and started a new game with *that* database. Thanks for pointing it out youle007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXistenZ Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I notice that it only works with a new game. Ok i can live with that. But can you change the player ratings with this genie scout or do we have to wait for a new FMM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzamark Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Haven't been on for a while looking for genie scout. Too late now anyway. I take it everyone now agrees he's totally full of it? 3rd December we hear its just finished, then nothing for over 2 months. I stood up for the bloke a lot earlier on. He's a total joke. At least have the decency to tell us you're not making it rather than making us wait. I've had my game as Brazil manager waiting for the tool to see what my best team is, but thought he actually gave a toss. If he did we'd have been put out of our misery ages ago.

gazzamark Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sorry for the rant. It just ****es me off how I defended the bloke for so long for no reason at all. He's a waste of space. I'm sure he did well enough off the banners on genie scout 2007 anyway, the amount of garbage about his mother theresa "I don't charge, but will milk advertisement to the hilt" approach has suckered everyone enough for the last few months.

Marseille07 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 gazzamark, What you need to understand is that Genie is not a SI developer. He is a college student and programmed Scout for free for the past 2-3 versions. So whatever he wants to do with it...commercialize, put bunch of ads, stop development or whatever...are his choice. We can only thank him for having allowed us to use his editor while lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marseille07 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 By the way, for those claiming that Genie Scout Beta build 83 works with 8.0.2...are you sure the game wouldn't start crashing after 1 season or so? I mean in 8.0.1 the editor did WORK at the beginning of the game, then people start having Person Data Corrupted and other kinds of data. You don't want to be too hasty in claiming that the editor is somehow compatible with 8.0.2...just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerswild Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have tested everything with 8.02 patch, although the Scout is still able to read the information, as soon as the file gets large enough it will stop working again. Also If you load leagues as view only, the "club data" will be "corrupt" Anyway, don't expect Scout to work for a long period of time for anyone.

big_bob Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Stop saying it's not working. The Scout works with saves larger than 100 mb and I finished 2 seasons and it's still working. Just uncompressed your saved games and stop moaning. Works great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerswild Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 LOL mine is uncompressed, and at 135 MB it stopped working............make sure you are doing the conversion correctly too, the file shows up at KBs in your folder. I am telling you it will stop working, on a small database I ran a sim and got it to stick out for about 3 seasons. You will see it go down that is all I am saying it will stop working.

Maybe it is working for you and that's great, but most of us cannot get it to work after a short period of time. So, enjoy it yourself if you can get it to work, but don't complain about other people making factual statements about their own findings with it in their game. It worked for me as soon as a I started the game, but as soon as I saved the game again, it stopped working. [p.s. I haven't seen anyone moan - except you moaning about other people moaning.] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 If Scout wasnt working with your 8.0.1 save game then it is not going to work with the same save in 8.0.2- it may start working again with a new game in 8.0.2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerswild Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 yep I would have started over with Genie, but didn't really want to as I am 14 seasons into my game. That is why I did the test to see how long the game would run with genie still working. I got 3 seasons out of it with about 15 leagues (4 countries) running.
