How do you create a national team?

[Fifapat75]

How do you create a national team? For example, if I wanted to modify an existing team (for example Swansea) and transform it into a national team (for example Croatia) in such a way as to find it in the national teams with the possibility of executing the summons (obviously only for Croatians), what should I change in the Swansea to find her in the national teams?

I answer for myself as I have found the solution.

1) Open the Squads file with RDBM
2) Go to the "teamnationlinks" folder: in the "teamid" column find the ID of the team you want to change to the national team; in "leagueid" write 78 (it is the ID of the national teams); in "nationid" enter the nationality (you can find it on the Sofifa website)
3) Go to the "leagueteamlinks" folder: in the "teamid" column find the ID of the team you want to change to the national team; in "leagueid" write 78; in "prevleagueid" write 78.
4) in RDBM "teamplayerlinks" remove the basic players of the team and insert at least 22 players with the right nationality, then from the game summon whomever you prefer.

But how do you change the actual name of the team. I have tried with RDBM but when I run the game, scroll to the menu it is still the original team's name. Plus what about the scoreboard short name?

Use FIFA Editor Tool v1.1.0, go to Legacy> data> Loc and download the loc file of your language and also the meta files (eg I am Italian, I download ita_it and ita_it.meta).
Then use the Master DB and open the file (first open the ita_it.meta file and then the ita_it file in sequence).
On the left click on "Language strings 1" and in the search space, in the central column "stringid", find these strings:

TeamName_Abbr15_nnnnn
TeamName_Abbr10_nnnnn
TeamName_Abbr3_nnnnn
TeamName_nnnnn

replace nnnn with the ID of the team you want to change name. Change the names in the right column to "sourcetext".
If some of them are not found, it means that they are in "Language strings 2", look for them there.
Then save and always using the FIFA Editor Tool v1.1.0 import the modified ita_it.meta and ita_it files and create the mod.
I recommend that you put it in position 1 of the FIFA Mod Manager v1.1.0

After that you also can add the team on "internationals.txt" which is part of "dlc" directory in legacy tab of FIFA Editor Tool.

yes, ok but if you don't modify the dlc compdata files and add the national team in internationals, add it at least to international friendly etc all career will always crash

Great. When you say "import the modified ita_it.meta and ita_it files" do you mean import back into the original loc file or import them where?

 

[bacchus99]

I want to make a Scottish Championship patch. I saw in FIFA Editor Tool that Kilmarnock still have an id (082). Can I still use that? Will there still be Kilmarnock's graphics somewhere is the original game or are they completely removed?

 

[bacchus99]

yes, ok but if you don't modify the dlc compdata files and add the national team in internationals, add it at least to international friendly etc all career will always crash

But if you replace another national team with your prefered, say India with Croatia, then you do not have to do this, correct?

 

[Fifapat75]

Yes, it is as you say. I state, however, that my friends and I do not play careers but offline tournaments.

Yes, import into the original loc file you find in Fifa Editor.

Yes, import into the original loc file you find in Fifa Editor.

But when I use Revolution Database Manager 22 and click the open icon, it doesn't show the exported files because they are not settings, assets, squad files. The open window just shows a blank folder!??

 

[bacchus99]

I sorted it...DB Master NOT RDBM...

Is it possible to use the women's national teams as extra men's national team and add them to the men's national team "league"?

The assets will be missing for the team so it won’t work. I usually just replace any of the teams not in Europe and the womens teams. If you need any help with the compdata/database I am happy to assist

Yes you can. Copy a mens international team row in the teams table and replace teamid and assetid with those from the womens team you are replacing. Also delete the old row for the womens team from the table

Thanks mate. I have replaced League of Ireland team names, badges and league name with Scottish Championship (Level 2) teams. Sooner or later I wish to "link" it with the Scottish premiership together with a play-off system. I guess knowing what to do with compdata files is needed for that so I might well ask you for advice. Cheers.

That is in the squad file, correct using RDBM? Thought I might as well add some national teams to the Scottish patch seeing as squad filling is quite easy and not much player editing is needed.
