Paulv2k4 FIFA18 Career Mod

-------------------------------
THIS MOD HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND I WILL UNLIKELY REPLY TO ANY FUTURE POSTS. THANKS ALL.

I will however leave the Git Source files there for anyone to use.! Regards. Paul

-------------------------------

Hi all,

This is my personal attempt of a career mode. I always strive to keep the game to a more realistic tone than default especially when it comes to transfers, form and morale. Hope you like it. Feel free to contribute on GitHub or take my code and change it as you see fit. Love you all. Paulo.

I'm playing arround with playergrowth since Aranaktu released the cheat engine table for this but something feels terrible off with this file.
In cheat engine there cannot be seen any difference between modded and default.
On the other hand I stiil do not see the influence of weight....
Rest of the curves are clear but this weight is a mistery. What are your findings in this so far?
Also how did you add acceleration in trining? This also did not work in cheat engine.
Anyway I started a full test sesion with frosty editor for all the files so it could be usefull for everyone to centralise all the results in one place and this thread could be an option.

Hello Paul,Thanks to open this important thread.

The last night I did study all ini of fifa18,and I noticed that they are all almost same to fifa older.

for example if we want a real stamina,if we dont fix it in db can change theese values in cmsetting

[FITNESS] // new energy recovery model - adam & simon
ENABLED = 1
PLAYER_MAXENERGY = 100
PLAYER_MIN_OVERALL_FOR_NEWS = 75
ENERGY_THRESHOLD_FOR_FATIGUED_EMAIL = 50
NUM_DAYS_FOR_LONG_TERM_INJURY = 14
CONSTANT = 10.0 // (default: 6.0)

// 0 - 33 < Very tired
BASE_DAY_1_1 = 5 // +5
BASE_DAY_1_2 = 7 // +7 = +12 in day 2
BASE_DAY_1_3 = 9 // +9 = +21 in day 3
BASE_DAY_1_4 = 6 // +12 = +27 in day 4
BASE_DAY_1_5 = 6 // +6 = +33
BASE_DAY_1_6 = 6 // +6 = +39
BASE_DAY_1_7 = 12 // +10 = 51
BASE_DAY_1_8 = 15 // +15 = 70
BASE_DAY_1_9 = 15 // +15 = 85
BASE_DAY_1_10 = 15 // +15 = 100

// 33 - 66 < Middle
BASE_DAY_2_1 = 7
BASE_DAY_2_2 = 5
BASE_DAY_2_3 = 9
BASE_DAY_2_4 = 6
BASE_DAY_2_5 = 6
BASE_DAY_2_6 = 12
BASE_DAY_2_7 = 6
BASE_DAY_2_8 = 15
BASE_DAY_2_9 = 15
BASE_DAY_2_10 = 15

// 66 - 100 < Fit
BASE_DAY_3_1 = 5
BASE_DAY_3_2 = 7
BASE_DAY_3_3 = 6
BASE_DAY_3_4 = 6
BASE_DAY_3_5 = 6
BASE_DAY_3_6 = 9
BASE_DAY_3_7 = 12
BASE_DAY_3_8 = 15
BASE_DAY_3_9 = 15
BASE_DAY_3_10 = 15

Imo it is important also the managerai.ini to have a real a starting line up of CPU.

Your fitness lines are very, very close to what I have chosen. Sounds like we are on the same wavelength here.

Could I leave that up to you? If you find a good balance I will import it into this mod?

Playergrowth has changed a lot since FIFA 18 so I need to take some time testing it. If you find any good settings please share.

Sounds like good plan. If we all come up with something together, I will rename the mod to SG Career Mod.

Hello, good work here. SG Career Mod sounds impressive. Really.

Only a little tip to paul and pedrito:
In the code shared by pedrito is there an issue in tweaked settings:
For example, If I understand you need an hard and realistic fatigue recovery by day
....I see you've edited in a wrong way this string:
CONSTANT = 10.0 // (default: 6.0)
In order to get the hard fatigue recovery you need to decrease the constant value otherwise the effect in BASE_DAY strings will be decreased, is like you decrease in a place and increase in another.
to fix the issue edit like this (my setup, anyway you can edit):

[FITNESS]
ENABLED = 1
PLAYER_MAXENERGY = 92 // for me in real football the energy value 100 does not exist because when you play the match players must be a little fatigued after training before match or after fucking during the night.
PLAYER_MIN_OVERALL_FOR_NEWS = 52
ENERGY_THRESHOLD_FOR_FATIGUED_EMAIL = 50
NUM_DAYS_FOR_LONG_TERM_INJURY = 10
CONSTANT = 2.5 //very hard energy recover

the constant is related to the energy recover multiplier so must be decreased

I see in real soccer almost 70% - 80% of world wide players still fatigued after one match for 2/3 days, only special players with a super physicist. In real soccer for a normal human player is possible to play at most 2 matches in 1 week (and it's really too much) and get most fatigued.

I hope it help. Bye

hi fidel, totally agree with everything you said.

I will look into setting up a GitHub for all us if any of you are familiar with it?

I am still attempting fixing my laptop issues with bcrypt.dll / modding .

Ok guys, I'm making progress with playergrowth....is sensible better already but, please, did someone understood the meaning of WEIGHT_AGE, WEIGHT_MENTAL, and all these weights?
In my file the young players already grow, but not all, that's the scheme....Those weights do have a role.
Anyway, after a few more tests I will upload my files for better testing.
PS: I forgot which line must be edited in gtndatareveal in order to make overall visible without scouting.

Guys, I cannot believe this.
It's all working perfectly.
Transfers: I recieve at least one per day although many refuse the offers...(something to think)
Growth:well, surprisingly it works, it's a lot better
Training:hell yeah, all the attributes added
Scout:better young players, higher potential, I did not touch scouts since I really do not like using them
All regenerated players 16 years old
Morale: excellent edited-works
cmsettings:removed radiomanager (annoying)
simsettings:reduced injuries
Still can't remember how to tweak gtndatareveal for revealing OVR and how to add unlimited release players (going to ask Aranaktu)
http://www72.zippyshare.com/v/6gTZlDvc/file.html
Test it.
All these worked from the first try, no errors, no problems at all.
I'll move to the database now.
Everything inside the files can be modified by anyone to his liking, the game accept the file and it shows imediatly.

This allows to see overal?
It is to 1 by default but I'm not seeing the overall....damn, this is iritating not being able to remember.

It is? I seem to remember it was 3 at default which only let you see the overall of world class players?

Maybe try 0 then?

Yap, it was value 1....don't know what I've messed up, but now it's good.
Thanks Paul.
As usual, is little things that hold you back.
Now for the unlimited release of players...last one and it's all complete.

Hi guys . I have completed my first stage of development. You can find it on GitHub. (check first post). You will have to use FrostyEditor until I can get Mod Manager working. All you have to do is download the project file,open it in frosty and launch FIFA.

Hey paul, did you manage to figure out the new playergrowth system?

Hello Paul, if you want the formsetting always neutral I did understand as do,but sadly just for first season,I have understand the cause. I think that some boost or cheat give whit moralesetting and formsetting,so I prefer play whit every player neutral,btw this is my setup of formsetting :

It looks simple enough.

There are 7 curves (imagine a graph). 1 for each distinguished position (GK, Full back, Def, DefMid, Mid, Wingers, Str). You can add more if you would like and make it much more dynamic.

In each curve you have the positions included. So Curve_7 is the Striker/CF positions.

In each curve you have an Age and the Ratio that the Curve takes affect. They seem to have generally said that players peek at 29-33. There is slight differences in age between the positions. Defenders & GK peek later.

In each curve you have an Age and what amount of growth each given to each attribute category during their development curve - Physical, Mental, Skill. This is out of 100.


Not sure whether it needs much improvement as I have yet to see the growth system fail. What would you all like to change?

Yes Paul, this year 100% seems to be represented by the number 1.
Problem is that even if you change each curve to be 100% at the age of 23, it won't grow at full.
So there must be something related to weights but there are so many weights for each curve and it's hard to understand what is the connection.

Remember though. The players are limited by their potential and the growth limits applied to them if they are above or below the curve. If you change the curve ratio all your doing is speeding up or slowing the curve.

The weights are added up to 100. so its split between the 3 categories.

I still can't get any mods to work via Mod Manager or Frosty Editor.

Did you figure out a solution Paul? As I saw you were having issues previously

http://www117.zippyshare.com/v/EPWEWt9I/file.html
New playergrowth.ini
Much better growth, bus some peaks for young players, like Barco, which grew by two points once.
This could be due to a string that asks how many training seasions must a player recieve before growth and the growth factor, which I set to value 2. So, in the reference period which is:
MONTH_TO_APPLY_GROWTH_1 = 3
MONTH_TO_APPLY_GROWTH_2 = 6
MONTH_TO_APPLY_GROWTH_3 = 10,
set by me, I trained Barco three times in a time period, set by the string
TRAINING_SESSIONS_FOR_MAX_MODIFIER = 3
which results in a double growth set by
TRAINING_MODIFIER_GROWTH = 2
TRAINING_MODIFIER_DECREASE = 1
However, the rest of the players seem to grow fine, except Leroy Sane, which refuses to grow....
There is some tuning to be done.
HuzzUK, what are your issues with frosty editor?
Mod Manager is not reliable at the moment, but the editor does all you need.
