Competições de Portugal patch

[marco_e]

Hi, as far as i know, Creation Master does not work beyond Fifa 16. There's no convenient tool for later versions of the EA's game. I guess we're stuck with Fifa 16. So, the work done here would be like waste of time, if we would like to push this project forward.

Here's what i was thinking:
After all portuguese leagues are completed, we should have a way to convert the mod to the next version of Fifa.

Does anyone knows Rinaldo?

Here's an update

Hello, release your patch, if you have finished all, maybe you can add to Infinity Patch 21/22 after the release of Fify 22, as for other Fifies from 17 to 21 there are probably no editing tools, I'd like to play from the lowest league in Portugal

Hi, not finished yet. Still a work in progress... and in my spare time of course.

Looks good right?

Super

Checking script of promotions between Primeira Liga and Segunda Liga.
3rd (2nd league) and 16th (1st league) do match play-offs of 2 legs to find out if gets promoted or relegated, depending on its source.

Just updated the main post with relevant information. Anyone interested to help. Ping me here.

Liga 3 prepared.
Does anyone knows how to get teams from each region? North and South. That's one of the conditions for Liga 3. Since it starts with 2 series of 12 teams (North and South).

Well, i can't sort it correctly based on teams location, because it always sorts randomly.
Zona Norte teams and Zona Sul teams get mixed when getting the teams from Liga 3.

I tried a myriad of ways to get it sorted right, including changing the competition script (which is UI based).

So, i place teams coordinates correctly so in case of decision between north and south that could be made by latitude.

Guess what? It doesn't.

Since MLS league uses similar approach for West and East confederations, teams get segregated based on their location. Like in the real world. I've changed Seattle sounders FC for example, to get it moved to East confederation, in order to get it tested. So i could come with the right script. It looks like there is something in the compiled code, that split teams in a hardcode way. That's my suspicion.

I had to open the database to better understand what can be wrong, so i came to this field called "grouping".

Don't know what is for, but i have to find out.

Developing story....

 

[marco_e]

It turns out, grouping field was nothing.
Conclusion, there isn't any way to get teams from the league and place them correctly in a Zone. I mean, North and South. They will be randomly placed in one of the series. It may or may not be a limitation of game. But i still have a clue this might be a thing related to source code within the game.
It would be nice to have an option like:
Get the teams from a League based on its Latitude or Get the teams from a League based on its Longitude.

I decided to sort it out, with the implementation of series. Either way, when in career mode after 1st year, teams will not be sorted in groups based on their location. But they will be sorted randomly to one of each groups.

I appreciate your effort a lot! Any chance it could be compatible with the latest FIP patch?

Hi @MunkasManuel, i'm not sure. But maybe it will be. I have to test it out. In a side note, maybe this patch will be compatible with FIFA 21. I did deep research in the FIFA 21 database and structure. Thanks to the folks of the Fifa Editor tool.

Update.

Hi there, which are...? 1st and 2nd?

 

[Robson Mambrini]

Yes, first and second with 18 teams each.
Plus the local Cup with only the teams from the first.

Another issue arises. Campeonato de Portugal, is quite volatile. In the real world, It can have 61,62 or 63 teams (it changes every year, but the max is there. 63). Some teams may desist and because of that, the first round, or 1st phase, must be reordered and sorted. Starting with 11 teams in Serie A, can be very dangerous for the game, because it crashes if the schedule is not configured properly! There's always a team not playing in a Leg, because... well impair number of teams. Lone team.

For the sake of simplicity, almost every league has a pair number on their sheet so each leg can have a consistent number of games per leg.

So this year starts with 11 teams on Serie A, and the remaining series has 10.

I had configured properly. Now testing Relegation groups, since 2 or 3 teams of each group are relegating to the District competitions.

The Portuguese championship is quite complicated, but it needs to be more challenging.
