FIFA Soccer Manager Online - Hex Editing Tutorial

1.	Open HexEdit
2.	Load the file sm97.dat from the FIFA Soccer Manager folder.
3.	Now let's search for the team Arsenal. It shouldn't be difficult to find Arsenal, since it's in the beginning of the file.
4.	Now find the Abbreviation of Arsenal which is ARS and move 5 block to the right. The 5th block should be 00 and the 6th block should be 1A.	[screen shot]
5.	The 5th block tells the program in which division the team plays. 00 means English Super League 01 means English Division 1 02 means English Division 2 03 means English Division 3 04 means French Division 1 05 means French Division 2 06 means German Division 1 07 means German Division 2 08 means Scottish Premier League 09 means Scottish Division 1 0A means Italian Division 1 0B means Italian Division 2 Then for the other teams open Division.txt from your FIFA Soccer Manager folder and look for the division you want. Then count in which line it is. (Note: The first line is 0, second 1, third, 2...) Then open the Microsoft Calculator from the Accessories folder and type the line number. Make sure that the calculator is set to Scientific and then press on Hex. There you are.	[screen shot]
6.	The 6th Block is for the Country in which the team plays.
7.	To change this, open the Country.txt from your FIFA Soccer Manager Folder, and find the country you want to change it to. Then count the number of lines and continue as Step 5.	[screen shot]
8.	IMPORTANT NOTE: You can only SWAP teams! You can't transfer them. If you change the country or the division of one team, you'll have to change the country or the division of a team from the country or division of the edited team.
9.	That's all. Now you could play with teams that they were not playable in FIFA Soccer Manager. For example you can play with Lierse (Belgium), Barcelona (Spain), Ajax (Holland) and so on.

1.	Open Notepad.
2.	Load the file division.txt from you FIFA Soccer Manager directory. Note that you need FIFA Soccer Manager to be installed Full.	[screen shot]
3.	Now let's change "Super League" from the first line to "Premier Division" from line 1 and line 9.	[screen shot]
4.	Note that : Line 1 means English Super League Line 2 means English Division 1 Line 3 means English Division 2 Line 4 means English Division 3 Line 5 means French Division 1 Line 6 means French Division 2 Line 7 means German Division 1 Line 8 means German Division 2 Line 9 means Scottish Premier League Line 10 means Scottish Division 1 Line 11 means Italian Division 1 Line 12 means Italian Division 2
5.	Now let's change the "Division 1" from line 11 to "Serie A".	[screen shot]
6.	Then let's change the "Division 2" from line 12 to "Serie B".	[screen shot]
7.	You can change all the rest as you like. Then save the changes and load FIFA Soccer Manager.

1.	Open HexEdit
2.	Load the file sm97.dat from the FIFA Soccer Manager folder.	[screen shot]
3.	Now let's search for the player David Seaman. Click on the Find Button and type David.	[screen shot]
4.	Now let's change David to Peter, and Seaman to Schmeichel.	[screen shot]
5.	Move to block 20 after the first letter of the surname.	[screen shot]
6.	This block is the block of the Nationality.
7.	To change the nationality, open the file country.txt in the Notepad.
8.	We need to change the nationality to Danish, so, count from the first line to the line where Denmark is. Note that the first line must be counted as 0, the second as 1, third as 2, etc. So Denmark should be on line 23.	[screen shot]
9.	Now open the Microsoft Calculator from the Accessories in your Start menu and choose Scientific Calculator.
10.	Type 23. Press on Hex. It should give the answer 17.	[screen shot]
11.	Now, return to HexEdit and enter 17 in the hex block of the Nationality. This will change the Nationality to Danish.	[screen shot]
12.	The Next Hex block is the position. To change you must do exactly like the Nationality change, but now open positions.txt instead of country.txt. Though this time, it must be left 00, because we will keep it for a Goal Keeper.
13.	The next block is for selected/bench/not selected. 00 means selected, 01 means bench, 02 means not selected. We'll leave him 00 to be selected by default. And don't try to use other numbers than 00 or 01 or 02, because it will crash the game.
14.	The next block is for the Player Number. We'll change it to 12, so first we must open the Microsoft Calculator again, type 12 and press on Hex. We should get the number 0C. Go back to HexEdit and type this in the Player Number block	[screen shot]
15.	The next 24 blocks are for the abilities. They are as follows: speed; agil; accl; stam; str; fit; shoot; pass; head; ctrl; drib; cool; awar; deter; skill; flair; kick; thrw; hand; thrw; lead; cons; deter; greed.
16.	We are going to change them all to 99, so again open Microsoft Calculator, type 99 and press Hex. You should get the number 63. Note that unlike FIFA 98, ability 99 is not the maximum. You can put all the abilities 150, etc.	[screen shot]
17.	Go back to HexEdit and change all the 24 Ability blocks to 63.	[screen shot]
18.	Then next 7 blocks should remain that way.
19.	Then, the next block is for the age. Experiment a bit with it.
20.	Now, you can edit more players, the same way as you've edited David Seaman. Don't forget to save the file and then enter FIFA Soccer Manager.

1.	Open HexEdit
2.	Load the game file from the games subdirectory in your FIFA Soccer Manager directory.
3.	Goto row number 1A90, and move 3 hex blocks to the right. Please note that if you don't have the 97/98 patch installed, you need to find row 1B10, and move to the 3rd block to the right. Then continue the next steps normally. The screen shot on that can be viewed on the right shows the block where you have to edit if you have the 97/98 patch installed. Tough row 1B10 can also be seen from the screen shot.	[screen shot]
4.	Let's change the number of money to 1 billion (1,000,000,000). So we have to change that block (the 3rd block from 1A90) with 65, the next with CD, the next with CD and the next with 41. This changes it to 1 billion.	[screen shot]
5.	If you want to change it to 10 million (10,000,000), then you must write D0 12 63 41 in the Hex blocks. It you want 100 million you can write 84 D7 97 41 and so on. Don't exceed 2,147,000,000 because you'll get a negative value in the game.

1.	This is very easy to edit. In fact, you don't even need to edit it with a Hex Editor. So, open Notepad.
2.	Then load String.txt from your FIFA Soccer Manager directory
3.	Now you can change everything you want. For example, let's change ECWC to Cup Winners Cup.
4.	Open the Find Window, and type ECWC.	[screen shot]
5.	Now delete ECWC and type Cup Winners Cup over it.	[screen shot]
6.	There is a small limitation though. You can't write Europen Cup Winners Cup, because when you enter FIFA Soccer Manager, it will appear very ugly as it goes over other words. But you can always try!
7.	Now save the file and enter FIFA Soccer Manager.
