Creation Master 07 Released

Pegasus;2370113 said:

Hello Rinaldo

I'd like to know if it's possible to create a tournament within Creation Master 07 with random teams.
Everytime I create a tournament and insert teams, I have to choose a championship and then a team from the reported championship (for example : 1rst of EPL, 2nd of Belgian Jupiler league etc).
I'd like to create a tournament where I could have the teams randomly from a designed championship. For example a World Cup where I choose the International section and then the teams are automatically and randomly chosen everytime I run the tournament (so I have a different tournament each time) and this without using the tournament mode into the game.
Thanks

It is not a matter of CM07, it is FIFA 07 that does not alow to create a tournament like that.

Are you sure about this? After i expanded the db with CM i looked at the international ids again and it just gave 3 copies of each of the id entries that i had.

I think so, the problem is that CM07 does not allow to modify the association team-nation once it has been created. After the expansion you have to save in order to make the expansion effective, than use Db Master to make the desired association (or simply to remove the wrong one if you prefere). Now you can enter again CM07 and to have it working and to make the right association inside CM07.

I have a problem with CM(i use 2.08).It worked perfect at the last days but today ...

How to fix it ? Pls help

sometimes after loading kits, fifa crashes right after trying to open it. am I loading corrupt kits or something?

Check if the fifa.fat size is over 422 kb. If so, this is the problem and I will explain u how to deal with it...If not, please give us more informations about kits, tools used, ecc

it is 441kb

Sorry, I have written a wrong thing. The fifa.fat limit is 442 kb (441 --> don't crash; 442 --> crash), so if now you haven't imported yet the kits you wanted, this is the problem. Instead, if you have already imported the kits, you have to give us more info about how you imported them, when the game crashes and so on...

I will download CEP 4 and let you know as soon as possible. I wonder if they have removed from the teamkit table the entries for the referee kits (the one marked with kittype = 5).

Definitely, this is the problem. The referee kit entries in the database have been removed. In this situation CM 07 cannot load referee kits. I can only avoid the crash adding a check in the program but I cannot make the function to work properly.

It seems that your fifa.fat file is corrupted. If you are using FIFA 07 you can try to use the Fat regenerate function available in the FileMaster07 or another FAT regenerator. If you are using UCL 06-07 it is a bigger problem because the only FAT regenerator that I know to work properly is the one built-in in the version 2.08 of CM 07 but we can't launch it so, we are in a dead-lock !

Rinaldo, I hope this hasn't already been mentioned but at the moment with the new Beta CM07, if you set any new national team every team in the game becomes attatched to that new country.

For example I created a Asia country for my national teams, I also created an Asian National Team so that I could tie tournaments into manager mode. After I did this I immediately closed the database and saved it. while the team is appropriately attatch to the Asia country, Every team in the game from Arsenal to Chunnam Dragons to England are now from "Asia"

This causes a couple of minor problems but for the most part it seems to have little effect on the game. I still thought it was worth bringing it to your attention.

I have tried different combinations and techniques of tieing the national teams in (from doing several at a time to saving and leaving the program open... pretty much anything I could think of) with their country, all with the same result.

Thanks for an excellent editor again Rinaldo, This Beta version is solving a ton of problems we've seen in the past and I cannot thank you enough for the time you put into this hobby, when you are given so little in return.

Hi Rinaldo, It's me again.

I just wanted to ask whether its possible, when making a CMP file, that the original ID's used by the author, for teams, players stadiums etc. to be preserved for the users of the CMP?

This is because I plan on adding the Allianz Arena and Gottlieb Daimler stadiums, whose ID's are set to 133 and 135, because EA has hidden loading and menu screens for those 2 stads under those IDs. My concern is that if there are empty stad ids before this CM will automatically place them in the first empty spot avaliable. wrecking the ID order that I have set already.

The same would apply for players and the commentary I have added from WC2006, as well as teams and thier anthem files also imported with SM.

EDIT: One more thing - Is it possible to have a Qualifying Group Stage? or a "Qualifying Round" in group format to be more precise.

Thanks for the information, it seems that I have introduced a bug. I will check and let you know. I am going to release an "ultimate" version for CM07 and I would like to solve all the pending bugs!

The basic idea of a cmp file is the opposite of what you propose. To fix id implies incompatibility between different patches, cmp was born in order to allow to import different patches in my current FIFA without conflicts. Of course this approach may have some limitations as the one you explained. Btw, for the future I was evaluating how to add sounds to the cmp files so they can be imported together. For example a team and its chants could be in the same cmp.
About tournament edit: you can do it using the standard tournament editor (add, stages, groups and teams as you need) you cannot using the wizard because it supports only a limited set of tournament formats.

Ok, but there's no way of having a Group stage named as Qualifying Round? b/c there is Qualifying round, but this is only for a two-leg playoff b/w two teams a` la Champions League.
There is a Qualifiers commentary file and I'd like this to be said instead of the group phase for the Qualifying Group Matches of the tournament in my Euro 2008 patch.

hi rinaldo.
CM is not working on my computer.after installing CM i tried to open fifa.db but it is showing error message.fifa is running fine.so,why is CM not able to open the file.

Please be more specific. What kind of error message are you getting?

CreationMaster07.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

this message comes when i try to open fifa.db
it is microsoft message to send error report.

hi! i have a problem... when i try to save my modifications in the db file it shows an error message that says:

Excepción no controlada en la aplicación. Si hace clic en Continuar, la aplicación omitirá este error e intentará continuar. Si hace clic en Salir, la aplicación se cerrará inmediatamente.

Acceso denegado a la ruta de acceso 'CPROGRA~1\EASPOR~1\FIFA07~1\data\cmn\fifa.db.bak'.

thanks for your excellent tool pal!! and hope you can help me!

Rinaldo,

I've had a strange problem that I wasn't able to recreate :

I made a new tournament, simple knock-down 2 matches tournament starting from 16 teams up to final with two teams. From Semi finals with four teams I was unable to put the teams in the final and when I wanted to select the teams in the window it went like this :

Final
- winner
- winner

Semi final

match 1
- looser
- looser

match 2

- looser
- looser

The quarter and eight finals had not this error, as you note both teams in the final were considered as winners from that match and the four teams in semi-final were considered to have lost the match!

I went back to a backup fifa.db and recreated the tournament again with the wizard and then it worked as intended.

This is using Creation Master version 2.08 (the latest release)

Did anyone encounter this problem before and did you find how to fix it besides going back to a backup?

The tournament in question I created was the Greek Cup and I used Victor Marcao's Greek League as a base (the league tournament is working well, but that one was included in the cmp file), I plan also on creating Greek Super Cup but I have to find out if that tournament exists in real life also first

when im using CM and when i click on save it does not save the transfers i made, but it does save the teams overall ranking, and teamwork score thing

how do i save???
