[Editing] Well at least I figured out how to show the ref and linesmans...

[Sky Reloaded]

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you somehow mess up your game. Make backups first. This works for both unpatched and 1.1 versions. If someone already posted this, ignore the next sentence. If nobody posted this before, please credit me if you include this in your gameplay patches or if you post it elsewhere!

1.) Go to your FIFA directory, /data/cmn folder.

2.) Backup cfg_pc_l.ini and then open it.

3.) Delete the following lines:

-No rendering of referee
-No rendering of corner flags

4.) Scroll down, find and delete these two lines:

// Linesmen
GAMEPLAY_LINESMEN_DISABLED = 1

// Referee
GAMEPLAY_REF_DISABLED = 1

5.) Skip the next two, and delete this line:

//Corner flags
CORNERFLAGS_DISABLED = 1


6.) Done. Nice to see the ref running along with you, and the linesmans waving the offside flag. That's one thing EA did well... the offside trap AI is well done. By the way this does NOT slow down your gameplay. Don't experiment with the stuff below the JUNK line, they slow down your game and don't show much visual improvement.


*** Newly Added ***

7.) Remove these lines:

// dsewell : Todo: The net only deforms in OOP sequences do we really need to disable it?
DISABLE_NET_PHYSICS=1

8.) If you want to add rain read the following posts and mess around with the "l" file. The "h" file is for high end computers, "m" for medium end, and I think this is a bug because FIFA 2004 uses the "l" (low end) file for everyone no matter what computers/settings/videocard they have.

how about those flares, small flags in the game?

 

[Sky Reloaded]

Hmm don't know. Hang on, try and delete this line:

// dsewell : Todo: The net only deforms in OOP sequences do we really need to disable it?
DISABLE_NET_PHYSICS=1

And guess what happens?

 

[ngyc]

i can't understand why no rain in the game? in cfg_pc_h and cfg_pc_m have these line

//RMRain
RMRAIN_ENABLED = 1
RMRAIN_NUM_DROPS = 1024

but i not understand why no rain???
somebody can tell me?

100% confirmed. The net now moves when you score a goal, just like the PS2 version. To quote Agent Smith: I love me.

On higher resolutions it's not really a big issue as I have to really stare at the net to notice it..... but alot of ppl were bitching about it over at the Official EA forums soo......

 

[ngyc]

you coding just for cfg_pc_l, mean for low details user? how about those people who have high and medium setting? in medium setting do have refree and linesman, but no flares.

in high and medium setting both have those rain code, but i didn't see a rain, even i already played 1 and half season

I think maybe because FIFA treats all or most computers as Low End, and uses the l file. h and m are high and middle end.

I noticed taht the above lines are = 0 below the JUNK line in the l file. Try changing it to 1, or copy the two lines from the h and m file and paste into the l file.

emm...sounds great, try and see...

You can also edit it in the locale.ini / user.ini or the what ever you want.ini

[RMCONFIG_DATA]

GAMEPLAY_LINESMEN_DISABLED =
GAMEPLAY_REF_DISABLED =
CORNERFLAGS_DISABLED =
DISABLE_NET_PHYSICS =

0 = enable
1 = disable

Some other things:

[RMCONFIG_DATA]

CROWD_RENDER =
CROWD_ANIMATION =
PITCH_SHADOW_RENDER =
PITCH_DETAIL_RENDER =

1 = on
