Hey all,
I guess I start a new thread as the old one got a bit to big and taking ages to load.
FEd2000 has gone to beta testers a couple of days ago and so far the reactions have been good. There are still a lot to do yet but I hope it would be ready to be released in a month time from now.
Anyway, here are answers to your questions and thank you for being so patient.
Cheers

>The player sizes don't seem very obvious, don't they?
In fact I don't really see a lot of difference between the sizes. Maybe it's not really used in the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Stefan
>"We can have 64 jerseys. Can we have also 64 shorts?"
No, there is only enough space for 8 shorts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Diavolo Rosso Nero
>FEd99 was made for a Resolution of 1024 * 768. Am I right?
>
>I am using 800 * 600. Could you make
FEd2000 being usable perfectly with every resolution?
There are such a lot of information to be displayed so the higher the resolution, the better. BTW, you can customise the pages so maybe you can find an arrangement that would suit you.
>You are perfect!!! And please make also JEd2000!
Thank you, but I don't have a lot of time unfortunately.

From QuickSilver Jnr
>I have a question, will we be able to copy and paste players and so keeping their commentry?
>For example take Rivaldo, would we be able to put him into another team(team X for arguments sake) and still keep him in Brazil and Barcelona?
Yes, you can clone a player but he doesn't have the commentary of the original one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From neo
>This is a question i realy like an answer to.. Like all the other EAsports games you can import your own face to use in the game, can u make this on the FED2000 or is it innpossible! why din't ea use this options on fifa2k like they did on nhl2k and nba2k
Sorry, this is out of my scope.
>ps, how many difrent faces can i make and use?
The number of space reserved for faces is 64 but it is unlikely that FEd2000 will support that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Naresh
>how can i add more league(dbi file)
You can use FEd2000 to make new leagues/teams/players.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Thiago
>Just curiosity: EA has been paying you for making the Fed2000? Because you always say that you have been full-time dedicated to this program....so I wonder if you arenīt leaving your personal attempts to make this program for us. And if this is the case....thatīs of an incredible dedication of yours....
No, EA doesn't pay me anything. And no, I don't even get complimentary copies of FIFA games either http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/frown.gif I am doing for the love of it, for all you FIFA fans http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Bolso
>1. Can we make new teams or do we have to overwrite anotherone?
>2. Can we make new players or do we have to overwrite anotherone?
Yes you can make new teams and players without replacing old ones.
>3. After you finnish Fed will you make Jed?
I don't have the time to do that unfortunately.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Patrick Biggs
>To Bolso,
>Hasn't Chau already said 3-4 times that there will NOT be a Jed2000?
I guess a lot of people finds making jerseys a real challenge and in the past JEd made it easy for everyone to create their own jerseys. I wish I could find more time to do it but I have other commitments (two jobs, a family) so FEd2000 is all I can offer to the FIFA community this year http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
>And good work Chau, keep it up!
Thanks Patrick!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Ovi
>I am pleased you liked my card Chau.
I like every postcard I received
>1. Can I customise the league format in "Custom League or Custom Cup" to whatever I want it to. EA have made restrictions (E.G. you can only play another team 4 times, can i make it 5 or 6 or 99? Only joking about 99 (E.G. 12 teams, 1 group, top 6 into finals LIKE the AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE.)
Sorry, no. The rules are hard-coded in the EXE and not configurable.
>2. Can i check a teams strengths in the Editor? I mean the Defence, Attack it helps whe you try to make a new league (E.G. AUSTRALIAN...HINT...HINT..;-).
I might consider adding that.
>Oh, and how about you release Fed2000 on AUSTRALIA Day January the 26 th? THAT WILL BE NICE.:-)
I'd like to but we'll have to wait and see ;-)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Vexapor
>Lastly, I hope you are getting paid for your work by EA. They have a fairly large staff working on the FIFA series and they all get paid. The fact that you've made editors for the past couple of years out of generosity makes me wonder:
>1: Why paid employees at EA aren't instructed to do it as part of their job?
I am sure there is a valid reason (to EA) ;-)
>2. Why they place limitations on users so that we need an editor to begin with?
I am sure there is a valid reason (to EA) ;-)
>3. Since you do the work THEY should be doing, why are you not paid for your efforts?
I would say no to money but that wasn't the reason I am doing it!
>Perhaps you create these editors for fun but I think a petition should be formed where we can sign our names in effort for you to receive some form of compensation. Do the bastards even give you free editions of the game?
That some strong words. I'll sign the petition if you start one ;-) No, I don't get complimentary copies of the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Prashanth
>Just out of interest Chau, how old are you?
P:S: Great work on Fed 2000, I HAVE BEEN DOING PROGRAMMING FOR 7 YEARS NOW!
I am OLD, very OLD. I have grey hair and my skin all wrnkled up. I guess I would be much older than most of you. To give you an idea, my daughter has just turned 14 late last year.

From stefaubr
>I'd like to know if it is possible to add faces of players instead of the 13 originally proposed or if it is impossible because all the faces are stocked in only one file.
Read my answer above!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Ran B.
>can i change the Text in the game?
Not in FEd2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From sl benfica
>chau le, since EA released the new official patches did patch#2 which contained .dbi and a new .exe files will allow you to add additional leagues or contains any new things
No, unfortunately!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Christian Karel
>-Can we make some of the players in the game much more aggressive (Very easy to received a red card) using Fed2000?
Not really!
>-Can we download Fed2000 from soccergaming?
That will be announced when FEd2000 is ready to be released.
>-Can we edit the details of the second division teams?
Yes.
>-As in the game, i found that it only features a little team in the cup competition in the season. Can we put more teams into the cup (eg.32 teams English Cup)?
I don't really know, you will have to experiment that.
>-Will Fed2000 contains a field Players's Value?
No, as I don't see the necessity of it all.
>-What's mean by zones coverage (the numbers) i seen in the player edit page screenshot?
That's not used and was taken out in the released version.
>-What's the use of the 2 special attributes?
Those are not used and was taken out in the released version.
>-Can we also edit the Set Pieces,IGM2 and IGM3 using Fed2000?
No, I think every team has the same IMG2 and IMG3 by default (?)
>-Have u downloaded the two FIFA2000
Official Patch? Do they allow us to edit much more parts in the game?
No
>PS. Chau, can u send me your address to my email, so, i could send u a postcard from Hong Kong?! (karel@hutchcity.com)
You can get my address from FEd99 readme.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Patrick Biggs
>We are working in DB files. With Fed2000 will we be able import all of our DB files to make a DBI file?
I am currently considering that. I'd like to but it depends on how much time I have.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Jambo
>When will FEd be released??? (P.S. Thanks for the stadiums!!)
I can't give an exact date but it would be within one month from now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From ManUDevil
>1.) Will we be able to know which stadium we are assigning to which team? e.g. a picutre or the actual name of the stadium?
That would be considered.
>2.) Will Fed 2000 be compatible with Patch of the Day?
I think the people responsible for PoTD is working hard on the next edition to be compatible ;-)
>3.) Will there be pictures of which face or hair or any other physical characteristic so we know what we are doing to the player?
Yes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Christian Karel
>What we can do for editing a player like the AC Milan Argentinian "Guglielmenpietro" whose name has more than 15 characters? Is there any solution for this?
You can enter as many characters in the name as you like but I don't know how many FIFA2000 will display!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From neo
>If someone here has any info on how i can make JED2000, ive been realy happy if you sent it to me,, if i get more info it will go much faster for me to make it!!
It's nice of you to do this but if I could ask you to consider not to use the name "JEd" in your editor. Thanks neo.
