The CM08 thread

[Pextara]

This ia a known bug solved in release 1.02 (so I guess you are using release 1.01 or older)

Thanks a lot Rinaldo, I was using an older version. I gues I should stay up to date. Cheers!

Rinaldo- for some reason when i try to play a match with Certain teams in kick off mode the game crashes. Also some of the adboards i've added don't work and an error comes up in cm08 (over id 150 i think). I haven't really added anything else since i last played successfully except editing a few player stats.

Most of the premier league teams don't seem to be working. Man Utd and Tottenham for example. Ajax won't play either. Had i better upload my database file coz i can't actually find anything wrong.

Hey Rinaldo i have found a bug in the Cm08 if i wanted to export a Stadium this run perfect but if a wanted to export a stadium with all of the bin loc and efc files crash the cm and the stadium can i not packed in a cmp data file.
Pleas check your pm´s

I am trying to add a single image or a fsh file to the Texture box in the Stadium/3D Model tab. After I have added the image or fsh file, I click on the save button, I save CM08 and exit, but when I go to the game or re-open CM08, it still shows the original fsh file. Any ideas why it isn't retaining the fsh file or image?

Many files accept single and double size, kits accept 1gK and 2gK size.

What does that mean? What dimensions do my .bmp files need to be when I import them as league and club logos?

128 by 128 seems to work for me with logos.

Maybe some wrong graphic object for the team (or stadium) causing the problem, e.g. a missing team logo generates a crash.

I know CM08 generates a crash when trying to create a .cmp that should include a file not archived in a zdata but in the data folder directly. If this is the case you have a simple workaround: archive your files in a zdata.

P.S. This problem will be fixed in next version

In case of multiple files CM08 (as well as FIFA 08) uses the one saved in the zdata with the higher number. Maybe you are saving your new file in a specific zdata (e.g. zdata_44) but you have another copy of it in another archive (e.g. zdata_50).

Thanks for the response Rinaldo. So does that mean that CM08 is putting the new image I created in a lower zdata. If this is the case how do I ensure that my file goes in a higher zdata using CM08?

I've checked the teams and can't see any problems and i know its not the stadium coz i've tried playing in different stadiums with the same teams unsuccessfully.

Rinaldo, Can you update CM08 to be used with EURO 2008 or can create new editor for this new game?

Change the options. If you choose Automatic Zdata: CM08 will search for the file in all the zdatas and, if the file exists, it will replace its last occurrence. If it does not exist the first available zdata will be used.
If you select a specifc zdata, CM08 will always use that zdata.

You can also use FAT Master 08 to search for duplicated files in your zdatas.

If you have a crash while loading the game, 99% it is a graphic object. Help yourself, change them one by one until you find it.

Generic tools like, File Master and DB Master are already up-to-date. Not sure that I will do the same for CM08 too.

That was the problem. Thank you sir, it is very much appreciated!

Hi, simple question.


If i am playing a season atm and i will f.e. change boots etc. will this affect the saved game?

 

[per75005]

No, if U use Manager Master 08 instead of Creation Master... You modified only the carriere file and you make your changes only for your manager mode file.

Boots and faces will be modified definelty the whole game.

Check the filefont page of Rinaldo you should find this tool... the use is the same as creation master 08.

Still no luck. I've changed the kits even though they were the default ones and no luck, changed the logos as well but not the adboards because they should be id 99 in kick off mode anyway and the flags were default as well.

I changed the kits to some kits that i knew worked on another team but the team still wouldn't play and i checked the squad and formation screen, no problems there. Also i tried the default home stadium with other teams and no problems.

So whatever it is its to do with the team but i can't figure out what is wrong.

I'm running fifa in the big FAT program if thats important. Also not sure if its related but i had an error when i tried to rebuild FAT in FAT master.

Maybe that is the problem AsmodaiPlay when this happened to me the game crashed do not know though. Try deleting FIFA08 from my Documents and see again if it is playing properly.

My question now. I tried sponsors patch I did everything as said I saved in CM but no luck in the game. The sponsors are the same but in CM i see the new sponsors from the patch. Also I have downloaded greek league superpatch I installed it I can play it but I cannot make any changes with CM since the teams are not there!
