CM10 and other Fifa Master tools - Official Thread

[Stevi G]

Mate, in order to reply I need to know what to say, I need the time to try to reproduce the problem and understand what is happening and I was not able to do it yet. If I cannot reproduce the problem I will probably need you databases.

ok thanks and sorry if i was rushing u, its just that the armband problem is getting on my nreve and the want to edit animations for my fifa 07. thats all sorry mate

Thanks for the quick reply.

Exporting speech files works fine- two files appear of the form X.hdr and X.dat. The facility to change to export to a directory other than My Documents/SM10 doesn't appear to be functional yet (files export to the default folder regardless) but there is no problem with the export function.

It's only when I try to do anything with samples that it doesn't work. Export Sample, Play Sample and Edit Sample all return an error along the lines "Could not find file X_sampleY.wav". According to SM10 Help, the sample locations are given within the header files in relation to the .dat files- could it be failing to locate the samples from the header files correctly?

Well, this seems a problem with sx.exe but you said that it works... so I am confused.
Edit: about the export to a directory you are correct, it always export to the default folder.

No problem mate. But for AM there's no way to use it for FIFA 07, sorry.

1 - Well, of course for beta testing I deliberately DO NOT use TOOLS - Remove All Long Team Names, so that I can test CM10 and contribute back with bug report.
Okay, being said that, I did change the name using CM10 at the tournament windows, INFO. It is an easy typing. However, when I play, and win the match, it says, I win MAS-Malaysia Cup, although it suppose to be TM Piala Malaysia (just an example). So using your excellent DBM10, I further investigate, and as expected, it is due to another line of tournament name still not editable in CM10.
TextId ---- string
10006162 ---- TM Piala Malaysia
10006163 ---- MAS-Malaysia Cup
10006165 ---- Malaysia

So, just to continue the test, I copy-paste the tournament name to replace 10006163 strings. So now it's okay in the game. But maybe not so significant bugs though. Do I/we need to report next time about name problem?

2 - Okay, thank you for the tips. I will do just that.

So basically you mean that the string 10006163 cannot be modified using CM10. Am I correct ?

No problem mate. But for AM there's no way to use it for FIFA 07, sorry.

thats all rite, i was wondering that it a beta version and perhaps if u would add the supprt fr fifa 07 in the next beta(if any) or the final version but than again i dnt want to b a pain in the ass and u knw better if its possible r nt. u have a gr8 deal of wrk on ur shoulders so i understand even though i will like if it was to happen but i am nt forcing or pressurising u to do so :cheers: mate

Well, this seems a problem with sx.exe but you said that it works... so I am confused.
Edit: about the export to a directory you are correct, it always export to the default folder.

I recall doing a search for this kind of problem and finding a few results, where it was suggested people checked sx.exe by testing it on some .dat files. I tried copying sx.exe into the My Documents/SM10 folder and running it on the .dat files I had in there, and it converted all of them successfully to .wav. If this is a sx.exe problem it must be specific to extracting samples using the .hdr files since it can extract the main wave files direct from the .dat files okay.

I even tried getting around the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling .NET versions 2.0 and 3.5 (another suggestion I found on the earlier cases) without success.

Are you sure this is a sx.exe problem and if so is there any way around it? I'm genuinely stumped by this one.

Thanks for the tools, but I am experiencing an issue here. When I try to use the Manager Master to open up my Manager mode file, it says that "Cannot edit this career file because it is not aligned with the current databse. Do you want to try to recover it?" When I allow it to recover the file, it won't allow me to edit anything. What is the problem here?

Hallo Rinaldo, I have a problem, the numbers and logos do not look good. Thanks

Hi rinaldo,

I have tested the CMS Patch Converter with single team patches and it works fine for most of them.

I get an error when I try to convert patches with players from FIFA 09 who has an entry in the field "Would sign for" (column wouldsignfor). Field was available in CM 09 but seems to be not longer used in FIFA 10. It is not possible to convert patches with those players.

Hallo Rinaldo, I have a problem, the numbers and logos do not look good. Thanks

How on earth did you manage to do that? Hey Rinaldo, will we be able to assign animations to different players like commentary with SM10?

 

[Rinaldo]

ok thanks and sorry if i was rushing u, its just that the armband problem is getting on my nreve and the want to edit animations for my fifa 07. thats all sorry mate

I have verified that a file is missed in the Beta 4 package. You should copy t84__0.fsh file in the template subfolder of CM10 and then the armband works.You can extract the file from zdata__6.big using filemaster 10.

Btw. tomorrow I will release the final version of CM10 and this will be fixed.

About the error with the database I cannot reproduce it, upload your fifa.db and lan.db and I will check them.

If sx works another problem could be that .hdr structure is changed between FIFA 08 and FIFA 09 and they are not compatible but you have to convert from 08 fornat to 09/10 format (theres a menu tool for that). I don't know if this applies to your case.

MM works differently this year, read the help and/or browse this thread for this argument.

This is a known problem solved in Beta 4. You need to expand the database using Beta 4.

This bug was already recognized. It will be fixed in the Beta 2 version planned for tomorrow.

I don't find a way to convert the .hdr files en-masse as they are archived within audio.big, but performing this operation on a single file and importing it doesn't work.
Could the structure have changed between FIFA 09 and FIFA 10? My version is the FIFA 10 Demo so the files should be FIFA 10 format anyway.

mate sorry if i wasnt 2 clear but the error comes b4 i try to openn my db, it comes whenever i click "open fifa 10" or "select lan.db" or "select all". I never get a chance to try to open my db cause this error arrives first and thus prevents me from doing so.

as for the armband problem thanks mate for letting me knw. i am glade that finally i can continue to make more armbands. And 1 more question, wat file has the animations in it? i might nt be able to use AM but i think i can use 3ds max or if i cant even do that than i'll just make some animations fr my fifa 10 so that whenever i can play it with good and more advanced graphics i dnt have to waste my time n making animations even thugh i will make them using AM10 i a jst curious which file has the animations in it and in wat format?


thanks in advance

Have also tried extracting all .hdr files from hdr.eng (from within audio.big), batch converting them to 09/10 format (using the tools given in SM10) and importing them, also with no success- same error.

I've got a problem with Tournaments.
I was trying to set up the Semifinals of the World Club Championship in order to host the winners of Champions League and Copa Libertadores. Then I set up the previous Qualifying Round in order to have a match between the two South African teams (Pirates and Chiefs) and the winners of the K-League and A-League playoffs.
I saved then opened FIFA to play the tournament but FIFA allows me to guide the two South African teams only!
What happened to the other teams?
Why can't I select one of them to play the cup?

 

[skeptik]

So basically you mean that the string 10006163 cannot be modified using CM10. Am I correct ?

Yes, that is all. Thank you.
