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.

OMG! :eek: That looks and sounds very promising! It would make a huge difference in modding! :bouncy:

Hey Shawminator,
This is a HUGE deal, a big step forward! I really think you should create a specific Thread in the main FIFA 18 forum as this is a game changer.

Great work mate! Keep it up please!

Amazing Tool - Amazing Work - Amazing News
Thank you so much.

My friends: ZERO modding's limits from today!
From what I understood without trying the new AMAZING CGFE:
now it's like mount and unmount a full legacy structure with no limits in imported files.

To everyone who are asking about an updated frosty mod pack compatible with up4:
I'll update all my mods only to the new shawminator structure.


...and please anyone release a tournament mod to load with shawminator's tool,
and allow to play the actual champions league, just go in this screen (when the tool come out):
http://www.imagebam.com/image/209cb6684217603
and create UCL groups and tournament options, connected teams, etc, the tool will generate required \dlc career files,
just save job mod, etc, test, create patch to share.

Now, do you all remember when fifa 17 was released and we went balistic seing the new structure?
Many thought it was the end of fifa modding forever and for over a year it was.
But as with all bad things, the sum of them leads to a good thing, fifa 16 becoming the most played and complete in history.
Also the new and complex frostbyte gave the big modders (those with programing skills) something to think, resulting first in frosty manager, and now this tool to come of shawminator, which promisses to make fifa 18 as complete as 16.
I said it before, men made frostbyte, men will decrypt frostbyte, there is no such word as impossible.

That is amazing, shawminator! I am working on a detailed DB for my own patch with Fidel's amazing tool and can't wait to try your masterpiece. Any chances on a beta testing?

Thanks for this amazing tool bro, Is it possible to add Scoreboard Creator in this tool as in previous ? It will be good :) And I have two important questions.

1. Can we add new files ?
2. Can we edit and import back 3D Models ?

Thanks for your effort, god bless you bro :)

FIFA 18 - CM16 TO 18 DATABASE CONVERTER TOOL VER. 0.6 STABLE
INCLUDE NEW FIFA 18 DB TO SQUADS SAVE CREATOR MODULE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Check Info folder for new features availables and pics as example.
Check out also at not available features.
You can now edit leagues structures and teams.
To avoid issue or if you are not an expert in fifa db modding,
just switch already present teams with Replace function in Leagues (CM16).
Are you able to switch teams in CM like the example mod included in pics?
Never change the total numbers of teams in leagues. Take care.....

In Team screen, for Domestic and International reputation I think 10 is
the max value (3 stars in CM16), don't put higher values than 10
(check always other teams before you change any value),
otherwise you can go out of range in game.

The tool 0.6 convert:


UPDATE IN DBM_ECI_T (folder)
- Updated code conversion main exe
- Updated templates for new features

UPDATE IN DB TO OPEN IN CM
- Updated source CM database \CM16_DB_18\16_DB.db
(updated and fixed leagues.txt table to make simmetric)
..include Germany League 3 ready to use and now visible in CM but empty atm.
UPDATED pics in Info folder.

- Run CM16DB18_FULL_0.6_[D+].exe to enjoy new features.


Include also old executable just in case you are not interested
to export-convert-import new tables.

Some tips:
After conversion done, before you click OK at pre-final message box for IMPORT ALL TABLES...
go in 18_IMPORT folder, delete or rename tables you don't want to import in your 18 db.

Include also a fast importer and exporter available to run without conversion step.
For example to convert a squads db mod in a main db mod:

place the output converted DB.db (18 squads db) in 18_EXPORT folder, run 18_EXPORT_ONLY
go in 18_EXPORT\tempdb\ copy all tables (or check minimum requireds) and paste in \18_IMPORT folder
rename main fifa 18 db in DB.db (any exported with frosty or cgfe)
place DB.db in \18_IMPORT (overwrite the one in squads version already here)
run 18_IMPORT_ONLY, wait for your new full main DB.db.

You can continue to use this converter tool if you like to re-live in the 18 game
an old fifa 16 db mod, because the tool will convert the most important tables in 18 db format

and just edit BASE templates respecting the same number of rows/lines like same number of
players, ok??? Populate columns like composure, etc, this is required just once.
For how to adjust BASE Templates check in this document (from 0.1).

When shawminator's cg fifa explorer come out just open the 18 db
with new creation master 18 and adjust/finalize your db.
If you've worked on a 18 squads db you need to convert to 18 main db
in order to open and edit it in cgfe.

For you and anyone interested:
Big news:

Editing new tables in CM:
leagueteamlinks.txt db table:


teams.txt db table:

Fidel, in your FIFA 18 - CM16 TO 18 DATABASE CONVERTER link, post #1, there is no v.6 converter link, and your v.4 converter link just goes to your post #789. (?)

Amazing Fidel. It works, I am now editing my FIFA 18 db using rinaldo's legendary CM 16. I used your amazing mod to edit the db in CM 16. I then checked the players table, and sure enough the edits I made were there. So step 1 was successful and complete. A thousand thank yous for your hard work, and for sharing your tools with us.

But something is still unclear to me in your instructions. Is there a second step needed to convert the edited db into a squads file? Because the squads file in the IMPORT folder was last modified a couple of months ago, meaning it appears it wasn't converted when I converted the db. I will test it in my game of course, but just reading your instructions, it isn't clear at this point. Thanks again.

EDIT: So I loaded that squads file in my game, and the edits were not there. So that obviously isn't the correct squads file, or I missed a step. But I am unclear what that next step is. How do I convert my edited db with the edits that worked, into a squads file?

The problem must be that the 16 db with my edits, did not convert into the 18 db and 18 squads file (IMPORT folder). I noticed when converting that an alert box came up, saying I need Excel 2007. Is that correct? Because I do not have Excel.

EDIT: Yes, I was correct. I checked the players table in the 18 db (IMPORT folder) and the edits I made to the 16 db are not there. So it looks like the conversion did not work for some reason.

I'm sorry but EXCEL 2007 is required I wrote this requirement in the first post (0.1).
Because the converter tool use an user defined function (UDF) for Excel.
Just download MS Office 2007 PRO, google search for it, download and install then follow step 2:
Section 2
- Manually Copy your CM16 edited 16_DB.db and paste in \DBM_ECI_T\16db\ (very important and required step in order to convert your edits to 18 format)
- Run CM16DB18_FULL_0.6_[D+].exe --- wait for your 18 db in \18_IMPORT (include also your converted tables).

TO FIX THIS ERROR SAVING EXCEL WORKBOOK:

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
like \Desktop\DBM_ECI_T or X: \DBM_ECI_T

If required I'll share my DRM MS OFFICE 2007 PRO FULL LICENSED with modded SETUP. No key is required to install.
Bro bangus contact me via email if you need the pack.

EDIT:Click the link in Info folder and watch the video to understand.
