New Editor for Fifa RTWC 98

Hello everybody! If any retro-gamer is interested, I've written a free and open-source editor for the Fifa 98 database in Python for a hobby: https://github.com/ma-akad/fifa98edit.

The editor is a little more powerful than the excellent FEd98, which we all used back in the day. One can have rosters of up to 20 players for club teams (with the whole roster showing up as available in the game and not only 5 substitutes in addition to the starting eleven), select the default tactics, strategy, and lineup of clubs, and edit the hidden skill values that are not displayed in the in-game player editor.

It is also possible to fully customize the name of leagues without being restricted to the number of characters of the previous name, as in FEd 98.

I hope someone will have fun with this, and any feedback would be much appreciated!

Hi, today I am searching the Internet for an possible Tool to extract the Fifa 98 Database. I am close to give it up and finally checked the old Soccergaming Forums. And I find your Tool. I need the Db of Fifa 98 for an Fifa Classic Patch within a newer Fifa Game like 21 or maybe 22.
I will test now your Tool. I hope it is something what brings me the desired DB. Cheers

Hi, friend...
Where can I get the compiled .exe editor for Windows?
I have problems in my Windows 10 home to run the Python file.
Great job, congratulations.
Thank you.

Hi again! I have uploaded a new version of the editor, with fuller control on the lineup (possibility to choose the right/left position of central defenders and midfielders), the ability to select the free kick and penalty kick taker, and to add new players to the database + better interface.

As far as I know, many compiled python executables will be deleted by antivirus software in windows, dunno if it would work...

Sorry that I didn't used that before, but is it able to export player data to text or .csv file?

it sounds like you use python launcher and the script quits for an error (maybe not all dependencies are installed?). can you launch it from the terminal / command prompt? are you running python 3.8 or higher?

if you're on windows, use command prompt; on mac/linux, use the terminal
move to the folder where the script is and type:
Code: 
python fifa98edit.py
if you have more than one version of python installed, type
Code: 
python3 fifa98edit.py
if the scripts fails to load, paste here the error message. it might be because you need to install the required libraries
these are:

  • numpy
  • pillow
  • colorsys
  • colorama
  • pandas
  • unidecode

to install them, type:
Code: 
pip install numpy
(and replace numpy with the name of each library)
if you have more than one version of python installed, use
Code: 
pip3
instead of
Code: 
pip

Hi! I've make several mods for FIFA RTWC 98 using the old FEd editor, and I'd like to try this one but I don't know how to use it. I have no knowledge in Python, is that needed to use it?

I've Installed Python and followed the description. After selecting game language, this error ocurred:

NameError: name 'f_valori' is not defined

How can I follow after that? Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I've uploaded a new version of the script with a possible fix, if that doesn't work either could you please post the whole error message (from 'Traceback' onwards, including the code line)? Cheers!
