Fifaccitiu's Some Editing Thread

[virtual_razvan]

Managed a firework. Romanian League has the same format as Eredivisie, so I made 2-3 modifications and now I have Career Mode for Romania. Of course, Eredivisie goes kaboom if I try to start a career with Ajax for example. I have 2 folders, I'll try to ADD a new tournament like I tried in the morning in the first. The second is the firework one. If we will not manage it, I'll stick to the second one. We are getting really close anyway. Can't wait to get home in 2 hours, do my homeworks and try again .

P.S: I'm anxious for your Excel Tournament files .

what i did in excel is easy, anyone can do it. It's just need much work to update all of those competition IDs to be connected each other. That's why your test result is important whether we can add new tournament or not. If it's not working then there's no point to keep working on my excel file.

I didn't continued my work because I work at the moment for the second option, for my patch. But I'll try to add a tournament in CAF or OFC soon.

Just found this thread, not to disrespect all of you.

Kornetbeef, I have test with the modification after 1414.

Filename CompObj.txt (Competition Objectives), ended with 1414 a creation zone code.

I have added 1415 up to 1511 and as far as my experiment goes, it works in Tournament mode, but not in career mode. It had 4 leagues (4 tiers), FA Cup format, Group tournament format (Malaysia Cup) and Charity Cup (supercup in FIFA 12).

Let me share with all of you a few things here.

CompObj is the key due to it's code number in sequence. Other files just follow the same sequence number, which I call it CompObjID, or COID. Other files has been mention and explain in earlier post of this thread so no need to repeat.

I just curious as of the DLL files. I found that 1414 in HEX as 0586. In FootballCompEngzf.dll you will find a value of 1414 (reversed no 86 05 (hex value) in exactly one place, position no. 30ad1. I suspect if this dll do control the limits of tournament, but I love to know if I'm wrong.

I use EXCEL mostly in editing parts where the Malaysia league will be and than paste it to TXT file. After that use Replace to replace TAB with 'comma'. That's the fastest way of adding new line to notepad.

I convert my patch from FIFA11 to FIFA12 with a bit of works in excel as for experience patch maker will know the different is quite small, just a few column to add or delete and mix-and-match to add things in fifa 11 to fifa12 DB files.

So, so far I'm waiting for solution.

Explanation of Competition Files for tournament-league creation:

compsid.txt : Hold all competitions id, so cup, supercup and league are all here (need for later)
compobj.txt: Hold the description for cup stages,structures, league stages.If you want to edit cup , this is the file.
initteams.txt: For some competitions, like italian super cup, contains the teams that are partecipating in the stage described in compobj.txt
schedule.txt: contains the competition id, the day in which should they play and the precise time (es at 20:30pm)
settings.txt: rules and prize money for every stage, colors for champions,cup and relegation.
standings.txt: the word explain it.Id competition and n.of team.
tasks.txt: decide which team go or not go in the stages described in compobj.txt
weather.txt:based on compid describes the probability month by month to have a sunny match, or rainy o snow and based on hour if have to play in day or night... the summer at 1900 you play in day, in winter in night
advancement.txt: decide the next stages for cups

Are we able to edit weather.txt for career mode meanwhile?

If you're meaning of existing nations weather, then yes. Just experiment with the value of the table in weather.txt.

Great. where is weather.txt located?
Do i have to restart my career?

 

[kornetbeef]

skeptik, try to add lines in "transfer.ini" and "transfers.ini" in data1.big. There're parameters which determines the rating of your league and team transfer bucket for each league in career mode. Maybe if your new league didn't appear at those files, the new league won't work on career mode

 

[fifaCCitiu.com]

We can't change the competition ids in compobj and in other files because some of them are in the exe.
I have to control to insert as far my knowledge a tournament id 1415.. and compare it with the tryout that Sleptik has wrote.

Allready edit that two files, but still fail to start career mode. Someone should look into FootballCompEngzf.dll as I suspect/believe it lies the real instruction and enforcement of limitation.

Can you turn off transfers?

Maybe this will work for no transfers????

i been in it w/ a hex editor but its mumbo jumbo it has lots to do w/ career mode it seems but im not sure if its the key.

i think it might be more related using creation center leagues & tournaments in career mode.

 

[kornetbeef]

I've looked into footballcompengzf.dll with hex and notepad, the algorithm to recognize the tables is there but i can't found some numbers which indicate an Active id lists or limitation there (maybe i'm wrong).

It crash I think just after schedule, or rather when started to generate player negotiation. Yes, in the start, initial set up.

But curiously, I tried using other nations league to take a look at the Malaysia's leagues. I use K League, pick any team and use real player to start the career mode (player mode). I also setting Malaysia league to start on February just like Korea League (Settings.txt). Then I simulate the players in calender up to a few days to by pass the date that I know malaysia league have started. I have setup schedules of Liga Super to start on 62 (26 february 2011-saturday). In statistics, other leagues, I can see that all for leagues are in progress, the league table have the numbers, but curiously, MALAYSIA CUP which settings League, matchsituation, group, also can be found in the league table. I don't think it suppose to appear as league.

[tips 26/12/2010 + the number in schedules.txt, you'll get the exact date use in game]

So, I believe the league do accurate but maybe fifa12 has this kind of players negotiation fix.

This is interesting.

Anyone has an idea what's the numbers 0-63 in "activeteams.txt" means ?

I think it is the max number of team available in any particular stage. I saw that there are one stage where it has 32 groups, in UEFA championship or Euro League. Curiously there are also one stage that exceeding this number, more than 32 groups. Any idea?

 

[skeptik]

In manager mode, the crash happen just after I create User Manager. Regardless of what country/nation that I choose to use, the crash occured too.

Skeptik:
In data1.big there is a folder in the respective dlc folder, named compdata/schedules. Maybe that's the key to your problem...

I don't think so mate. Those txt files in the folder schedules just consist of "real first season schedule" for some leagues. And the other leagues which is not described in the txts are random matched schedules (following the rules stated in schedule.txt and weather.txt).

No, but I never try it. Anyway, what is the progress of your patch. Has it successful in career mode and tournament mode?
