Doctor+ Productions 18 Exclusive Worldwide Mods & Tools

Fidel Gameplay

Senior Squad
Yes Federico check out at ce table and I suggest to use because you need to edit only 1 body type value.
So I suggest to use it. Or Check bangus provided info, because he tries to teach you how to edit the squads database file,
if you learn, you can edit the entire squads database, but yes if you use my mods you must use and edit and rework my squads db, etc especially if you are using my frosty mods.

And for you and everyone here the tutorial 2 is out:

FIFA 18 MAKE MODS - TUTORIAL 2 - Easy
HOW TO EXPORT DATABASE FROM OFFICIAL SQUADS UPDATE AND IMPORT BACK EDITED DB

(how to edit/adjust/revamp AGPEDB COM Rosters, etc.)

This is the best way because you can do a precision surgical operation
in order to export db from roster file and import back with a raw paste data.

So without opening any file with a tool always at risk to corrupt your work
or the import back will not properly match default roster file offsets and header.

For anyone not experienced with bit and byte, hex language, etc.:
this tutorial is also for you, because what we do is copy and paste two addresses,
and corresponds to the data byte range to select (in export and import phase).


Part 1
Secure and easy way to export database from save Squads file

This method will work to export db from any official rosters update, your custom db etc.

- Run HxD and Open the Squads file from File menù or drag file on HxD icon
- Press CTRL+E to open block select, now type the range: 92 (start) and 4C1941 (end)
and press enter or click ok - you can see like this pic:

(official squad update Squads20171111160246)
- press CTRL+C to copy data, press CTRL+N (to create a new file),
- press CTRL+B to paste write data, save as mydb_001.db and then close HxD.

The exported db is now ready to edit, clean and save with DBM by Rinaldo.
About this part, I suggest to check out bangus thread, check the section related to db editing,
and tips to make working in career mode the edited db.


Ok but now you can't import back in the default file Squads20171111160246 the edited db in Part 1
In the fact you must use my patched Squads_BASE container which is used to import correctly.
I've already shared the pack with patched Squads_BASE file (check post 3 and read reply with tips).


Part 2
How to properly import edited db back and generate a new one 100% working save squads file


In HxD
-
Open the patched Squads_BASE file from File menù
Press CTRL+E and type the range: 92 to 92 and then click ok (or go manually at offset 92)

Don't close HxD.
- Open edited mydb_001.db from File menù (or drag file in HxD)
- Press CTRL+A to select all data, now press CTRL+C to copy data in memory
- Click already opened Squads_BASE tab in HxD and then press CTRL+B to paste overwrite data
- Click save or press CTRL+S to save the new squads file ready to load in game.
In game the squads file to load is DEFUP1

Beleave after many test you can do all of this (export and import) in 5 seconds time.
...what takes time is the "db editing part in the middle" and sometimes require years of work.


Remember in game to load and then save again before you start a new career
this tip is required to make auto loading modded squads after game re-start.
Check out also if you follow my steps you can see the squads selection not available and blurred at career start options.

See you on the next tutorial 3:
How to export database from an already started career
(you can see also how to export your career team and make available in a new squad db)
You can play the career with infinite number of cm seasons
...after max seasons limit is only required to export career db and generate a new squads with same tables as career mode file.

Required Squads_BASE is inside this pack:

Is there a way to use just unlock features instead of using with AGPE,
Actually i want to learn, when i install main database unlock mode, current squads corrupted, so when i try to update it manually with latest transfers it says corrupted again. When i try to officially update squads, again corrupted. What can i do to play with latest squad file ?
Is AGPE causing this error ? or Unlock options causing to corrupt squads file ?
Yes will be corrupted and already shared, disable the Frosty unlock db mod from FMM to continue your old career.
This is caused by the teamkits table and unlocking features that cause issue with old based main db squads and careers.

It is for this reason that I had to regenerate the COM Rosters 003 in order to make it working on both with new main db mod.
Make your choice. Bye

FROSTY SUITE COMPATIBLE INSTALLATION --- POWERED BY GALAXYMAN

Beta documentation and mod's features.

To dream:
Play this addon module on both with:
- FIFA 18 REVOLUTION FULL EDIT PLAYER IN CARRER MODE *
- MAIN DATABASE UNLOCK MOD 0.2 **
- EXTREME ULTRA HIGH PLAYER LOD SETTINGS
- AGPE AI iMM 1.4 beta2
- COMXXX003 rosters

AGPEM is a new gameplay module that completely change the game. Yes. Really.
After sg forum community feedbacks in my thread and after some debug test
finally I've discovered a way to get the best from the 18 game.
I'm using the awesome now working randomize function, but here we are using
to unrandomize players attributes and traits,in order to assign to players the
same attribute range stored in db (COM or GPZ).

Finally you can see every player trait, style, attributes stored in the db.
In the fact this AGPE Module aim to fix and finalize the full AGPE and must be played
on both with AGPE DB COM Rosters (every version) or GPZ by Fifacittiù.

Anyway you can play the new AGPEM on both with every db, locale, or default gp/db/locale.

Include big changes and improvements to make cpu much more human.
Anyway this is only the start. Because the gp module is totally customizable.
I'll share soon tips and updates but beleave me at moment play and enjoy.


INSTALLATION (quick)
- Backup interested files, copy all files/folders in your \FIFA 18 main game folder
- Play (Launch) the game with FMM (Frosty Mod Manager) or FL18
ENJOY

To uninstall, restore default game files, delete bcrypt.dll.
This mod require bcrypt.dll in order to make game to read modded configuration.

Anyway if you play my mods (gp also) I always suggest to start game with FMM or FL18.

WAIT FOR NEW "DB_RANDOMIZE" MAGIC NUMBER I'M WORKING ON
AND WAIT FOR SOME NEW VALUES I'LL SHARE ASAP.

Hello to everyone. Thank you for all comments, solutions, etc.
Asap I'll reply to generic questions. Please read couple of informations in sg forum because it's like Fifa Moddings University.

For somebody it's hard to understand what the priorities are now.

In the fact I'm working to a new little but very useful tool:
FIFA 18 FROSTY LAUNCHER 0.1 (FL) it's an alternative to FMM.
Check in the video (full hd):
when the game start all mods are enabled and perfectly working in game (require to be already generated the ModData folder or just wait for some other tips).
So for example is now possible to share an already patched ModData folder with a couple of mods enabled in,
just copy the ModData folder in main game folder, start game with launcher, done with all mods enabled.
It's like return to legacy mods with already generated files to put in game folder.
The ModData will be unique, for example if I'll share my ModData folder with all my Frosty mods included in
you must use only this ModData to properly play the game.
In this way all FMM issues with mod's merging, apply, launch game will be skipped and you will be able to run modded game.

Thanks for the help Fidel!
I will try editing DB your way!

And thanks for FrostyLauncher and the new mods!
I can't find COMXXX003 ROSTERS anywhere!

Do you think that, maybe in the future, there's something you can do about dribbling? I CAN'T GET PAST AN AI PLAYER! Not even with the best dribblers of the game. You have to either stop, turn around and go some other direction, or pass the ball. But you just can't fool the AI.
I loved FIFA 16 in this area. You could outsmart or wrong foot a defender with the right timing. And Momentum was AMAZING in FIFA 16.

I hope you can help with this when you have time.

P.S: Yes, I've already tried setting Sprint and Acceleration +2 for Human and -2 for AI in the sliders.

I don't believe that's possible due to the limitation of FIFA 17 and 18's animation engine sadly. :(

The animation engine is much better than 16 and earlier -- not limited at all, and many more animations in fact -- so that's not the reason. The reason would have to do with ini and player rating values, and the way they interact with the game engine.

Guys like Fidel and regularcat are the modders they are because they do. If it's an issue you would like to see fixed, do some testing. Play test games with reduced CPU player ratings like Tackling, Marking, Reaction, Positioning and Interception. Raise attackers' skill ratings and assign them traits like Technical Dribbler. Etc. Also, test player and team aggression ratings, and raise the CPU marking slider. The more aggressive and tighter the CPU covers your players, the greater the chance a poor defender will over-commit to tackling/marking, allowing you to get around them.

I think the problem with dribbling and the overly perfect AI at getting the ball from you whenever you pass near, is a deeper and more fundamental issue than just player stats, unfortunately. I wish it was only a matter of editing player ratings though.

When you have the ball with the best dribblers in the world, such as Messi or Neymar and you're facing the worst defenders of the world, like from a lower division one or a youth or whatever and they still manage to guess exactly where and when you are going to go and time their tackles perfectly to dispossess you cleanly, then.... that's something you can't fix by editing player rating because you are already testing it with THE BEST VS THE WORST.

That why I'm desperately calling for Fidel. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. I've talked with many people, even on other forums such as EVO-WEB, and this is very off-putting for many of us.

I was a theatre technician for many years. If FIFA were a theatrical play, Soccer Gaming would be the actors and technicians who spend all their time working at putting on the production. Evo Web would be the snooty upper class snobs who sit on the butts and watch, and then complain afterwards about how bad the performance was. LOL.

Not true at all. People like Juce, Jenkey, Nesa, Zlac, Hawke and many many others do nothing but contribute at the same level of Fidel or RC. They broke down many barriers and managed to do stuff that would seem impossible to do.

Not sure why you'd attack EVO-WEB like that and start this though. I just mentioned that I know people who feel the same way about dribbling in FIFA. Never compared SG to EVO-WEB, because there's just no point in that. I know you were a member of EVO-WEB too, but that has nothing to do here. And nothing to do with what I was asking Fidel.

You are being very unfair though.

Because it's run by @zzhole moderators for one reason. And it's a clique forum and old boys club for another reason, where the older members get to piss on whoever they wish. And the moderators just chuckle because, hey, they're all best buddies. That forum is as sickeningly dysfunctional as my ex-marriage.

And I'll say it again: the Evo Web crowd sitting around discussing the issue, is not resolving the issue.


Well, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
I have never seen EVO-WEB admins or mods abuse their power or mistreat anybody just because they can. Much less ban them.

You weren't even around here when this community was the biggest ACTIVE community. Mods in here had a handful because it used to be very heated. Matt Holmes, Lior, and the rest of those very good fellas. SG still has a large base of registered members, but those who participate actively are less than a half. EVO-WEB has tons of active members and new ones all the time, so sometimes it gets very tough to manage. Still, I've seen more abuse and bitching in here lately, unfortunately, than over there.

You just need to go back a few pages in this very same thread and voila....

I gave you a list of edits to try. Either you test them out, or you make up some excuse for not testing them out. Your choice, it doesn't matter to me. That's the point I'm making -- talking isn't doing -- which you don't appear to be interested in focusing on. So I'll leave it at that. Just please don't post that my suggestions don't and won't work when you haven't even tried them.

I will try your suggestions and you thank you for them.
And it is true, I have a lot less free time in my hands than I used to have so sometimes I hope for someone like Master Fidel to fix certain things because they know how to do it a lot quicker than I do. It's not lack of interest, it's lack of time.

Now, if you don't mind, let's get back on topic. I didn't start this SG vs EW war. I was asking Fidel for help and then you decided you wanted to vent and express yourself regarding EW.

avoiding the discussions, among some :facepalm:... I want to ask something about the game.
someone tells me the route of the tv logo, which is on the top right :tongue:
 

Sami 1999

@::..Federico Debla..::

I think the dribbling and animation in FiFA should stay as the way it is now.

We got 2 different games: PES and FiFA. PES always try to go for animations that makes dribbling feel heavy and sluggish. FiFA on other hand feels so fluid [Except few FiFA games like FiFA 17 and 14].

We dont need 2 games of same taste. Having variation is the only reason I play both PES and FiFA.
