I cannot answer pubblicly because the CEP database is hidden for a choice of the author. Ask it privately.

Ok Rinaldo. Can you send tell me by emailing me at [email protected]? Thanks.

AFAIK CM07 will run anywhere that .NET Framework v2 is supported (which includes Win98 and WinME) but you can't actually run the game on anything other than Win2K or WinXP

At least ... read the post you quote mate!!! .NET farmework 2 is required. Downloadable for free from microsoft site.

Sorry mate.. must've been overlooked. Have since installed net framework V.2 and it runs well. Did some minor adjustments and they work great. P/S I also installed a patch by Victor Marcao with some updates for national teams i.e Netherlands, Ivory Coast,.. I usually play with national teams and don't know how to create a team from scratch using CM, so I thought I'd give it a shot and installed Victor Marcao's patch... the patch seems fine but I'm getting "textures missing" on the kits with orange and green colors. When I try to load the kit textures in CM with the teams from this patch.. the error:5028 comes out with it reading "cannot find the requested file in zdata archive". What are the possible remedies for this?

Does anyone know where can I find patches in .cmp format?

To save some effort I will quote myself from another thread:


It is also what causes what you are seeing, because you are using the patched roster file (PC_CL.BIN) and all its links into FIFA.DB become invalid. As has been pointed out you cannot use the patched rosters with CM07 and I'm afraid that in your case that is the only advice that matters (ie. there is nothing you can do to mitigate the problem(s))

If I reinstall and do not update with the official patch will the editor work? Creation center is working now but I'd like to use CM if possible.

Thanks.

 

[Tizmo]

Yes, CM07 will work only if you do NOT install the patch.

Help

Yes i have a couple questions wit CM07 i am currently makin the Turkish Second League en Third in stead od the French First en Second evrthibng works exept in Cm07 it mixes all the teams for example Gal'saray en Fener and Besiktas are put in the second league (French First) and so it does a couple of other teams and i think it has to do with the whole classifiying thing in the Turkish 2nd (French First) I can classify the 2 and 3 but the first it will only say Winner League Or Winner Turkish Super League so it just mixes up all the teams i hope someone can understand this problem i know it sounds really complicated i hope someone can help me with this

Hi Rinaldo. I am making a standard World Cup finals tournament and it keeps crashing and I don't know why. I have entered the correct number of teams, group dates and a 1 gk version of the trophy but nothing seems to work. Please advise.

Hey Rinaldo, I have a question for ya.

I know that CM07 will keep the Zdatas up to date. I'm curious if deleting teams, deleting stadiums ect ect in the CM will remove them from the Zdatas? I'm looking to save some space so i don't overload my fifa.fat file. Just curious if I need to delete the files from the zdatas personally or not.

Thanks mate.

Adding new CMP file teams

Dear All,
Could somebody tell me how I add a second CMP file team using CM if the first one I added had a Team ID number of 20000, will the second one that also has a Team ID number of 20000 not simply overwrite the first one. Sorry if its a stupid question,

thanks

bacchus

 

[Tizmo]

If the second team has also got an ID of 20000, it WILL overwrite the first team.

 

[Biebrich 02]

only if this team is marked red (= replace). If you mark it green (= create) it will get a new ID.

 

[bacchus99]

Thanks guys for your quick reply. Well appreciated. BTW, CM I think is absolutely awesome.

Some suggestions to the guys trying to modify tournaments.
1) Do small changes and verify them immediately rather then to make big changes in one editing session
2) Verify first in tournament mode, a tournament that works in tournament mode is not guarantee that it works in manager mode, but the opposite is.
3) If your tournament crashes in tournament mode the main causes are
- not assigned a default team (some white boxes are blank)
- rules to pass from one stage to another are not correct (yellow boxes)
4) When you go into manager mode remember that a team can play in one league only, if a team plays in two leagues the game will crash.
5) If your tournament works in tournament mode but not in manager mode the main causes are
- dates are wrong (e.g. a final is scheduled before a semifinal) or the period assigned to a stage is too short and it cannot be complited
- the rules to pick-up the teams from another tournaments are wrong

Any idea Rinaldo? or how to decrease the size of the fifa.fat file?

 

[mrliioadin]

The answer to my first question is, If you just delete the stadium outright I'm pretty sure the Zdatas remain in tact. If you hit the 3d Model button and click remove on each of the files it does remove them from the zdatas but it does not reduce the size of the FIFA.fat file.

What i'm hoping is that having cleared out some space for new stadiums to be added into the zdatas, as well as freeing up some of the previously used ID's. the fifa.fat file won't get any bigger, instead all my new stadiums will sort of fill in the old spaces.

Just a hypothesis cause it doesn't seem anyone really knows the answer. Still trying to find someone who knows anything about the fifa.fat file.

About file removing: CM07 removes from zdatas only what you explicitly say to remove, for example if you delete a player with a specific head the player disappears from the database but its head remains in the zdata. But if you say to remove the specific head model or the face\hair textures they are removed.
About the fifa.fat: it is an index of the files present in the zdatas and it has exactly the size that it must have not one bit more not one bit less. So if you remove files from zdata the fifa.fat decreases but maybe you need to delete many of them in order to appreciate a difference.
