Hey guys,
I thought I might post this here. I've asked this to scouser on PM (he is helping with RTWC mod tournaments), but this is probably relevant to RevMod too. If anyone has any idea about if even this is possible - please reply!
So, my question/idea is this one: Is is possible to sort national teams in the International League into the 6 confederations (UEFA, CAF, CONMEBOL, AFC, OFC & CONCACAF)?
I've done some digging around in the game files from the 2018 WC DLC + both the 2010 & 2014 official WC video games. Each of them have ui assets which have a unique "confederations" or "confed" folder. Furthermore, each of the ui graphics correspond to the confederation IDs found in the
nations table of the main fifa_ng_db.db database file.
The IDs are as follows:
2 = UEFA (Europe)
3 = CAF (Africa)
4 = CONMEBOL (South America)
5 = AFC (Asia)
6 = OFC (Oceania)
7 = CONCACAF (North America)
In each game/DLC, the confederation graphics have the same IDs over at least 8 years. In each official World Cup game, 2006, 2010, 2014 - the teams have been sorted by confederation, while in the 2018 DLC they were sorted by 32 Finalists & DNQ (did not qualify).
For proof, I've uploaded the ui assets from 2010, 2014 & 2018 World Cups:

Given that this is a menu option trigger, I think this also has to do with one of the .nav or .xml files for navigating the menus. I've tried searching those files from 2010-2018 World Cups, but I'm a bit lost on that.
