Good questions. I haven't thought about that yet since I am working on the Iron Curtain mostly. Probably depends on what happens with FM25 as that will be the time when I am most active with this project.

I have loaded a file from a previous FM into the FM24 editor. Since I have moved quite a few players, it is likely some of them are at teams that have set to extinct between FM22 and FM24. Is there any way to quickly find out which players or clubs those are?

You don't need to set them both though. Setting three at the parent level is enough.

This is giving me a deep dive into history to a point that some of the things happening today can be brought back to decision taken in the 1910's, 20's and 30's. Obviously that is a oversimplification, but seeds were sown. It is also given me plans. Evil plans

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.

If Malmo is still in the Swedish league as well, the Swedish rules might apply. Check if the teams are set to continental qualifiers Sweden/Norway.

I am using about 55-60 files in a mod that need to work together. No issue with combining files for competition or club ids.

Now I wonder if you will find anything about Betriebsteil Süd, West, Ost and Zentrum?

Turns out Soviet Union IS bigger

Oh...., could it be there are seven Welsh teams? So they are moved out of the competitions, but their reserve teams aren't?

Not entirely sure I understand why you merged the databases. One thing that could cause this issue is when there are some rogue reserve teams created. Rogue as in, you might have missed that those teams have a reserve team as well.

In the meantime I have redone changes needed for West Germany, East Germany, Serbia (which is BIG!), Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia. So for Yugoslavia the bulk of the nationality work is done which is good. 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. Let's hope for the best

You are not sad. I have created a editor request which limits the option for teams to sign and play players in a similar way. Many sports have put limitations on themselves in recruitment, just look at rugby and the rules associations give themselves for selecting players for test matches.

Is there competition currently using them? If not, I think there is no option to activate.

Moved out of the download section

Is there an affiliation between Monaco 2 and 3? In short, it looks like you have told the game Monaco can't play in the same division as Monaco 2 or Monaco 3. That doesn't exclude Monaco 2 and 3 playing in the same division. Solution could be to have Monaco 2 and 3 as each others affilaites where you only click, can't play in the same division.

When checking Serbian, Nation Serbia: 1300 with Second Nation: Serbia and then realising that because of the various options for Second Nations deleting them in one go is a no-go I hate this

I test software and in the software I work with we have had several instances that when a debug option was added and you would remove the true/false option, the function would assume it was fully functioning.

Unless shoot-outs are in the editor, I don't think it can be done.

In the meantime the competition tests are whirring on in the background. I test every competition file individually and check the rules after a run of 10-15 seasons. That’s rather long but also allows to check better for errors in for instance sorting final standings.

I think these are the shoot-outs.

I was wondering, would it make a difference for the editor if you delete a line like <boolean id="debug_only" value="false" />?

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>. However, the good news is I can now start the recheck and that should go just as quick. Monday first thing tomorrow.

Yes (although my FM doesn't know that, but I guess that's language)

That's an interesting one. The one option I can think of is a friendly tournament where you set rules for. But the pre-season friendlies you plan, no idea.
