WEATHER in career mode

[arayas]

In weather.txt I altered the line from:
243,12,40,45,15,65,1630,1830

to:
243,12,100,00,00,00,2230,2300

Yes, because you have probability of:
dry-100%
rain-0%
snow-0%
OVERCAST (CLOUDY) - 0%

So, if it's dry and non-cloudy it's sunny.
You must have 243,12,100,0,0,100,2230,2300

To have all overcast.

Personally i never liked sunny or snow or rain. For me i have a wheater.txt file with ALL games in every competition set to overcast in day time.
Who want it, here it is:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sy3yaxxujbfvr45

Put the file in game\dlc\dlc_footballcompeng\dlc\footballcompeng\data\compdata\wheater.txt (create folders as needed) and regenerate.

BUT it's problem: the stupid FIWC stadium who it's not having texture for overcast, and it's assigned as a UCL final stadium (and Europa league i think). So, if you have to play a UCL Final you don't have stadium for this. You will find yourself in a gray background with players and a ball. No way to play.

I use a different solution (for a game/season it's not a big deal):

I use a texture from an other stadium (no crowd though) and problem solved.
This:

http://www.mediafire.com/?75kie3ao8ua09jw

Put the file in Game\data\sceneassets\stadium\stadium_172_4_container_0.rx3 (create folders as needed) then regenerate.

Voila!

Thanks for your efforts superboy

To see if it really works i set the following line:
243,7,0,100,0,0,2000,1100 - snow in july (!) and night at 11

but it works for no stadium or match in july even though i regnerated and have the correct path

UPDATE: it's not applying to kick-off games and old manager careers.

UPDATE: it's not applying to kick-off games and old manager careers. This are manager mode files.

I've realise this when i alter the settings.txt file to have in all games 9 subs on the bench. (Where in the world you have to right at only 5-7 subs on bench?) all << rule_numsubsbench,9 >> in file.
and altering money gain for winning featured competitions (added a 0 to the amount at every << info_prize_money, >> in the same file.

But, when i resumed my old career....NADA.
When i started a new career everything went like i want.
VERY IMPORTANT! Make a new career to test.

 

[sikes]

doesn't work for me either

of couse these are cm files & will only work in cm.
in kickoff mode you have the option of time of day & weather.

That means you do mistake somewhere.

1.identify the corect file with FM12:
data1.big/dlc/dlc_footballcompeng/dlc/footballcompeng/data/compdata/weather.txt (not ////compdata/fut/weather.txt
(NOTHING FROM /fut folder!))

2.export the file - you will have a dlc folder with appropriate sub-folders.

3. copy the dlc folder in /game folder in program files...fifa 12/game
there is allready a dlc folder (combine them or make sure that the text file is at place dlc/dlc_footballcompeng/dlc/footballcompeng/data/compdata/weather.txt

4. edit the txt file.

5.run i68 regenerator

6.start a new career

7.play

 

[sikes]

alright finally we got it going

i didn't know i had to edit the line like this:
243,8,00,00,100,100,2000,2200

instead of just having snow at 100 while overcast is at 0

 

[x119]

But do all stadium render the night in the right way??

 

[sikes]

i don't know yet
i think stadiums which have no night condition in the menu can't be forced to display night i'm not sure though

 

[arayas]

But do all stadium render the night in the right way??

The weather editing have nothing to do with night matches. The night fixtures are managed by the game like before. The only difference this edit do it's overcast instead of sunny, snow or rain.
Not all stadiums allow you to play on night. But this is how the game was made.

I allmost finished first season with this edited file and i have played only on overcast or night.

 

[x119]

So what's the point on editing the The sunset time The dark night time if they do nothing in your opinion?

I would like to not see stadium at 20.45 with the sun.

The hour in weather file is to establish when it's light and when it's night in different countrys. The start of the game is established by the shedule.txt file. I think the game link the starting time of the game with the intervals of weather file to "know" witch stadium texture to load (night or day). BUT, if you are playing on stadium with no "night" option, you will play in day light. No matter if you set night at 16.00 you still play on day light. Because the game it's looking first to see the posibilities of the stadium. If it has only sunny, you will play only sunny.
This is the reason i uploaded a texture for FICW stadium. Because i forced the game to give me only overcast and this stadium it's functional only in sunny mode.
If you want to control the time when the game it's playing go modify shedule.txt. I never said to alter the hours in weather.

Talking about schedules:
Is it possible to prevent the game from changing the schedule with enabled CL/EL in first season?

The shedule will load as usual, have nothing to do with first season UCL.

 

[sikes]

So why is the schedule being changed then?

 

[kornetbeef]

So why is the schedule being changed then?

It's not changed because of RUN_FIRST_SEASON_CODE. The UCL schedules are there originally, it's just disabled with the original code.

Yeah, the EA want you to work for playing in UCL.

Update: if you alter the weather file in any way, you don't have to be worried about the stadiums with no overcast (or night) textures. I have the value of the probability - overcast to 100%, but when i have to play away on a stadium with just sunny texture, the game forced me on sunny match.
So, no need to add aditional FICW textures because the game will force you to play in sunny.
If you want to modify shedules let me give you an example.

Under compobj.txt file the first thing it's the name of the country, and after that the competitions played in that country.
For example, England it's in line
243,2,ENGL,NationName_14,4
After that appear every competition played in England (every round of a cup or league or playoff). I realised that the 4 leagues are numbered in the same file 652, 655, 658, 661:
651,3,C13,TrophyName_Abbr15_13,243
652,4,S1,FCE_League_Stage,651
653,5,G1, ,652
654,3,C14,TrophyName_Abbr15_14,243
655,4,S1,FCE_League_Stage,654
656,5,G1, ,655
657,3,C60,TrophyName_Abbr15_60,243
658,4,S1,FCE_League_Stage,657
659,5,G1, ,658
660,3,C61,TrophyName_Abbr15_61,243
661,4,S1,FCE_League_Stage,660
662,5,G1, ,661

With that in mind i will go on shedule.txt file and see for the premier league:
652,230,1,6,6,1500
652,230,1,1,1,1730
652,231,1,1,1,1330
652,231,1,1,5,1600
652,232,1,1,1,2000
652,237,2,1,1,1200
652,237,2,1,1,1245
652,237,2,5,7,1500
652,237,2,1,1,1730
652,238,2,1,4,1600
652,239,2,1,4,2000 the line with 652 it's more longer....
What that means?

The file it's programing every day of Premier League. For DAY 1 of PL:
652 (the number of the league)
230 (how many days from the start of the year),
1 (day 1 of PL)
1 (minimum number of games from Day 1 have place at this day and this hour)
1 (maximum number of games....)
1730 (17.30 starting the game)
So if we have 652,237,2,5,7,1500 that mean:
In PL, in day 2, at 15.00, in day 237 of the calendaristic year, we will have minimum 5 games or maximum 7, between the teams from PL.
We have more lines with day 1, 2, 3....38 (20 teams in PL each team play 38 games/season) because of the different hours to start the game.
We can put all the matches of every stage in the same hour (in PL are 10 games in every stage):
652, 244, 1, 10, 10, 2200 -all 10 games of day 1 of PL at 22.00
652, 251, 2, 10, 10, 2200 - all 10 games of day 2 of PL at 22.00
..and so on until final line 652, 514(or different), 38, 10, 10, 2200 - all games from last day of PL (day 38) at 22.00.

Here we can alter the hour and we can make a bigger interval between every stage of the league. For example if you want a minimum 7 days between stages (days) the next line will be
652,258,3,10,10,2200(22.00 night)

So the only solution for stadiums without night possibility is to add that texture?
Where do I find it?

Well, there is no such texture. You have my FICW stadium example. Adding a fake texture wont work.
If you really want to exclude stadiums without night texture you have to work in db file. Identify stadiums without night, write the names down. Open the fifa db file with DB master 12 and scroll to "stadiums" table. By name identify each stadium and see what number it's having (example FIWC-172).
Go to "teamstadiumlinks" table. This table establish what stadium is assigned to every team. Find the references to unwanted stadiums and modify them. Save and you good to go.
But, for now i can identify how the stadiums are assigned for finals games or for "neutral". So, you can be 100% in night.
