Doctor+ Productions 18 Exclusive Worldwide Mods & Tools

Jeez! Amazing! Great work Fidel, your efforts are appreciated. Great to see modding picking back up with FIFA!

I am wondering if anyone else has had any issues with the Edit player portion of the mod after the latest EA update. I have all my tools working as far as FMM, and my own mod does work (training mod to allow for training up physicals), but the Edit player mod doesn't seem to work anymore.

I'd welcome any suggestions!

Hi Fidel. Regarding your FIFA 16 to 18 Editor: I got everything working, and edited the files in CM 16, then saved the edits, all with no problems. After saving in CM 16, you say the next step is:

Section 2 - Export tables - convert to 18 format and import in output db
- Copy your CM16 edited 16_DB.db in \DBM_ECI_T\16db (do this step manually so you can backup and manage/save db, etc)
- Run CM16DB18_FULL_0.1_[D+].exe --- wait for your db in \18_IMPORT (include also your converted tables)
ENJOY!

I'm unclear what's next here. After editing and saving the db, I ran CM16DB18_FULL_0.1_[D+]. You say "Wait for your db in \18_IMPORT... Enjoy!" Yes, there is a db file in the 18_IMPORT folder. But when I exported the tables and loaded it up in Excel, none of my edits were there. Am I looking at the correct db file? Is there another step to this conversion process that I missed? And what do you mean "include also your converted tables"? Include them in what? Why would I need them, or need to include them, if the edited db has already been converted? Thanks.

help me to fix it please

i made playernames.txt joining old and default from fifa 18, now working the new players

Hello bro, you skipped only this step but very important:
- Copy your CM16 edited and saved 16_DB.db from \CM16_DB_18\data\db (the folder and db you have edited and opened with CM16 ---ok???)
and paste in \DBM_ECI_T\16db (the folder where the tool get the tables to convert).
this process will be automated in the next version 0.3
- Run CM16DB18_FULL_0.2_[D+].exe (download latest version).
I hope you solve.

New version 0.3 is almost ready with new addon module to convert output DB.db in a squads file ready to load:


I hope to finalize and upload tomorrow.

Nice work Fidel , One issue im having after following your steps and watching the video is when i run CM16DB18_FULL_0.1 i get this error message " Error closing the excel application. @error = 1 @extended = 0 " any ideas

Click to expand...

Re-start tool and it will work, anyway the error pop up @ at the beginning or @ end of conversion?
You can see an error when you start the tool for the first time in your current Windows session (0.2).
All issues about excel application object and similar will be fixed in the new 0.3 version.
Another tip:
Just place "DBM_ECI_T" folder in C: \ or in another root drive or in desktop
or just cut out "DBM_ECI_T" from all subfolders and paste in another location.

Thanks a lot for the response Fidel. Looking forward to the upcoming 'v1.3 for dummies' version lol.

Thank you for all comments and great words.
I'll release asap an alone version for:
FIFA 18 DB TO SQUADS SAVE CREATOR MODULE

New:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIFA 18 - CM16 TO 18 DATABASE CONVERTER TOOL VER. 0.4 STABLE
INCLUDE NEW FIFA 18 DB TO SQUADS SAVE CREATOR MODULE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QUICK STEPS
Edit FIFA 18 database in CM16 GUI, save, copy db in \DBM_ECI_T\16db\
Run CM16DB18_FULL_0.4 and after 2 minutes you are in game checking and testing your edits.

UPDATE IN DBM_ECI_T folder and main executable
- New stable and optimized script code version
- Fixed error creating Excel application object
- Improved message box informations
- New squads file generator module

After conversion done, is now included a very powerful module to get
the output 18 "DB.db" placed in "\18_IMPORT\" folder and convert
to squads save file ready to load in game and try out your edits.

HOW TO USE
Section 1 - Edit db
- Run CM16 always as Admin - File - Open Select all ---- and browse \CM16_DB_18\ included folder
- Select 16_fifa_ng_db-meta.xml --- modded xml included file
- Select 16_DB.db --- 18 db converted to CM16 and select included eng_us.db language
Selection of these files is required once (next time use Open Recent).
Edit db in the availables features, save your changes in CM16.

Section 2 - Export tables - convert to 18 format and import in output db - generate squads
- Manually Copy your CM16 edited 16_DB.db and paste in \DBM_ECI_T\16db\ (very important and required step)
- Run CM16DB18_FULL_0.4_[D+].exe --- wait for your 18 db in \18_IMPORT (include also your converted tables)
(In an optimized PC the time required for all operations is around 1 minute)
ENJOY!

Squads_BASE inside "\18_IMPORT\Squads\" is your CM edited 18 db converted to squads.

To get updated just overwrite the default source 16 db included in this pack:
Place your Creation Master already edited '16_DB.db' in '\DBM_ECI_T\16db\' folder

If you edited/adjusted table conversion templates just replace in new \DBM_ECI_T folder
Always use the new \DBM_ECI_T folder in order to run tool with updated features.

Allow full control for CM16DB18_FULL_0.4_[D+].exe in your antivirus or protection.
Skip/delete created squads file if you are using an output 18 full main db (for Frosty).

Read doc for more info and how to use or check the sg forum.
If you need the CM16 SETUP please download the version 0.1b.
Also check out Decoruiz FIFA 18 compiled preview of all boots for CM.

Wow eagerly waiting for CM 18, I hope we can add mini faces soon too in coming versions

someone got the source files of cm16? can´t find anymore

Fidel. When can edit structures of cups and leagues?

Ciao Fidel.
Il tuo database 16_DB.db ha la tabella playernames non corretta, mancano alcune corrispondenze di nomi/cognomi.
Questo fa si che, una volta aperto il db con CM16, il creation cancelli le referenze che non trova in questa tabella e le sostituisca con uno 0 nella tabella players, facendo così che alcuni giocatori rimangano senza nome/cognome o soprannome.
Puoi fixare la tabella playernames?

Hi Fidel.
Your 16_DB.db database has the incorrect playernames table, some names / surname matches are missing.
This means that, once the db is opened with CM16, the creation cancels the references that it does not find in this table and replaces them with a 0 in the players table, thus making some players remain without name / surname or nickname. Can you fix the table playernames?

I'll check to fix asap. Atm to fix the issue:
restore the related name etc columns (from default db or correct one) in new players table generated after conversion
run import only. Check in 18_IMPORT folder the output converted table.
Anyway I'll release the fix asap. Another solution atm is do not touch or change values not available to convert etc.
pauloco released the fix try to contact or ask. Bye

hi guys, don't mean to Carlos this thread but not quite ready to start a fresh one,
I am in final testing stages of the new cg fifa explorer, this comes bundled in one tool an explorer, importer/exporter and creation master.
no need to export/convert files to work with cm16, all done within the tool, this is not compatible with frosty tool, as the patching is done differently. once create a mod you can add to it or start a fresh one.
the mod is always there you just need to switch to it which is a 2 second job for the tool, which ever patch you have live can be played directly from the fifa18 exe, no need to load mod everytime you want to play.
a few screens:-

Hello to you Craig and welcome back among the living on this forum.
And better even if it is with fireworks.
Regards.
