Just add them to your console.ini file you have created. H)

JJJ, don't you mean the locale.ini file? or can you use the console.ini file as well. That's what Ronaldotjuh said.

Please tell me if I'm correct with this:
You can open the console.ini file, copy anything you want to change to another notepad file, change the value, rename it to console.ini (or locale.ini?) and save it to the main fifa 2005 folder? Or are there only certain things you can change? Hopefully you can give me a little more guidance because I don't want to ruin the game. :) It would be nice to be able to change the goalie skill and attacking style on my own.

James, nobody has pop ups unfortunately. What I do is go to Select Sides and switch to the other team, check their subs and see if they made any already, then I switch back to my team

Well, I don't know if console.ini works, but I do know that locale.ini and common.ini are working. And what other things to change in FIFA 2005 you can type in the .ini file, I don't know, because these two things are the only lines I know, because I saw it appear when I installed the VGZ mini patches for referee's and CPU subs.
But I think there are other persons on this forums that know something more about this subject.

AEKARA, sorry I meant locale....

I apologize for that one. The only files that I have messed with are these:

DO_CPU_SUB = 1
CPU_SUB = 1
FEATURE_INGAME_REFEREE_ENABLED=1
FEATURE_INGAME_LINESMEN_ENABLED=1
All obvious ones that has been talked about in this threat

CPUTHROUGHPASSES = 0 (value I put in)
// 0 = no crazy CPU through passes 1 = crazy CPU through passes
CPUTHROUGHPASSES = 1 (from the ini.big file)


CPURUNOFFSIDE = 1 (changed from 0) I'm thinking by changing the value to 1, the computer will run offside. If I am wrong, I'll just remove the line.

These 2 values I am also wondering about:
NO_SECOND_YELLOW = 0
NO_IMMEDIATE_RED_CARDS = 0
These 2 values are the same as in the ini.big file. I am thinking that the 0 and 1 values are not necessarily just 0 meaning off and 1 meaning on. I will be taking these 2 files out of my locale file.

I hope this helps out. Oh, and I haven't had one crash-to-desktop (ctd) yet with these changes.

Triple J.

Again, thanks for Ronaldotjuh for his info... :o)

P.S. I am thinking that the defensive marking could be moved with changed values. Just not sure which lines in the middle of the ini.big file to change.....

nice.. was also nice to have more yellow and red cards, since the referees don't show them that many in my game...

the locale.ini file is the problem for crashing to desktop in my case, i'm sure of that cos' if i take the file out the problem never happens again..

well i don't think it's just about more yellows and reds, but the referee should be more strict in general.
lots of times I wonder why NO foul was called, but I never question a foul BEING called.

im going to experiment with

REFEREE_STRICTNESS = 2

let's see what happens
 

TripleJ185

I tried the refs strictness at 2

seems like it didn't work out at all. But, now that i realize, I did have the REFCALL_NO_FOUL=2.I am going to change one or the other or both to 1 and see what happens. Plus, I am experimenting with these lines too:

GAME_SPEED = 20 (trying to figure how to slow down the clock)
MIN_APPROACHDIST = 2 (hoping this would move the defense up some in their formation)
MARKPOS_DANGER_DIST = 8 (position where defensive player is marking more closely?)
MIN_MARKWING_EXTRASPACE = 2 (extra space distance man marking on wings)
PLAYER_ATTR_CPU_EFFECT_ON = 1 (maybe making computer players or mine more tired?)
OFFSIDES_OFF = 1( messed up and put this one in there. I should have left it to 0 or on)

Well, back to experimenting again...

So I tried REFEREE_STRICTNESS = 2, and I did not notice any difference. There were still some tackles that were not called.

Triple J. I don't think you can change the speed of the clock, it is based on your half length time. If you have in on 2 min halfs, then it will take 4 minutes for the clock to go from zero to 90 mins. The game speed I think is the speed of the gameplay.
I too would like to have the defenders move up at least 10 or 15 feet. But I think that the MIN_APPROACHDIST = 2 is the distance that the ball carrier is before the defender approaches and marks or challenges him.

One thing that I think I have effectively adjusted is the percentage of time that the players are getting winded from collisions and tackles.
INJURY_PERCENTAGE = 50 (was 15) (chance of injury or winding)
INJURY_CHANCE_OF_WINDING = 80 (was 60)(100=always winded, 0=always injured)

So now the players get winded more often after a tackle. They stay on the ground for a few seconds. But I put the chance of winding up so that they are more likely to be winded that hurt.

I've messed around with some of these as well and will let you know if there are changes in the game:
GOALIE_RUN_SIDEWAYS_WITH_BALL = 6
GOALIE_TIME_BEFORE_CPU_KICK = 60
GOALIE_TIME_BEFORE_USER_KICK = 80



MIN_USER_PASS_TIME = 20
MAX_USER_PASS_TIME = 60

MIN_USER_LOB_DIST = 20
MAX_USER_LOB_DIST = 200
MIN_USER_LOB_HEIGHT = 10
MAX_USER_LOB_HEIGHT = 20

MIN_USER_LOBTHROUGH_DIST = 20
MAX_USER_LOBTHROUGH_DIST = 120
MIN_USER_LOBTHROUGH_HEIGHT = 8
MAX_USER_LOBTHROUGH_HEIGHT = 30

MIN_USER_CROSS_DIST = 60
MAX_USER_CROSS_DIST = 160
MIN_USER_CROSS_HEIGHT = 12
MAX_USER_CROSS_HEIGHT = 22

MIN_USER_CLEARANCE_DIST = 60
MAX_USER_CLEARANCE_DIST = 150
MIN_USER_CLEARANCE_HEIGHT = 8
MAX_USER_CLEARANCE_HEIGHT = 40

POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=85
POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=70
AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=75
AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=60
GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=65
GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=55
VERY_GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=60
VERY_GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=45

Nice job AEKARA! You were right on the money with the distances and clock experiments. I'll try out some of the lines you posted...

chris, you have to read the thread!:)
the answer to your question is in THIS thread...

... and i'll give you a hint, it's in the 3rd post in this thread! do your homework!:D

ela filarako :) i found the solution before u post ur 'answer' ..well u were right..it wasnt that difficult...do u know if there is a way to enable some flares?i mean...it would be just wonderful to see the stadium with flares all around right?
i just wanna see that:a stadium full of flares...isnt that magic? :)

I love the flares also. I haven't been able to see them during actual gameplay, but they appear in the corners of the stadium when you see goal kicks and other stuff.
I think it depends on your graphics card and settings (low/med/high).

hey i need to add two more options in the locale.ini

i want the game to have more fouls/bookings/injuries and also the cpu to try more long shots out of the box
what do i have to do?someome help me pls?
 

soccerpk

Youth Team
Chris, put this in your locale.ini file:

POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=100
POOR_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=85
AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=95
AVERAGE_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=75
GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=85
GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=65
VERY_GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_BEHIND_CHANCE=80
VERY_GOOD_TACKLING_FOUL_SIDE_CHANCE=55

this will make the referee call more fouls, and because of this there will be more bookings. i don't know how to make the cpu try more long shots, but i'm working on it.
