This file is intended for version 14.3.0 of FM14, and will need to be re-applied if/when patches/updates are released to ensure full compatibility. This is due to the fact that some files which are removed when installing this file are re-installed when patches come out.

The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 14 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed. It will also fix the fact that the German National team doesn't call up real players. These are fully save-game compatible.

There is also a club name changes file, which changes the names of clubs in a way which ensures that any nicknames entered in the default database are retained. This file includes the proper names for Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, with 23 media files added to encompass all major footballing nations and continents. It also includes a small file to correct some incorrect national kit colours and ones whose kits were not displaying. Finally, it includes a small file which corrects the 3-Letter competition names to correspond with any changes made in the lnc files. For all these files to work, however, you will need to start a new game.

Magrippinho very helpfully created a YouTube video on how this file should be installed. Some of the contents are different - but the procedure is identical, although of course you use the equivalent folder for FM14.

Or, you can follow the below instructions to install this file:

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2014 \ data \ db \ 1430 
Mac
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2014 \ Data \ db \ 1430
Linux
/home/user/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Football Manager 2014/data/db/1430/

Please note that the Local folder is hidden. Press (ctrl + h)
For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

Step 2: Delete the dbc, edt and lnc folders from the folder above

Step 3: Copy the dbc, edt and lnc folder from this download into the folder mentioned in step 1.

Step 4: Go to:

Documents \ Sports Interactive \ Football Manager 2014
Step 5: Open the folder named "editor data" contained therein. If it does not exist, then create it.

Step 6: Keeping the folder in step 5 open, go back to the file you downloaded and open the folder named "editor data files".

Step 7: Copy everything from the folder in step 6 into the folder mentioned in step 5.



To check if the file is working, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, German national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly.

Everything seems to be in order Could you post the remaining items in the folder shown in the 142.jpg screenie please? iirc my editor data folder should have 29 files, but yours say there are 39 - I'm interested to see if the other files may possibly conflict.

Edit: Could you also post a screenie of the contents of the lnc folder?

just had a look and noticed this (note the location of the folders) do you think this may have something to do with it?

I've no idea why you've created the others, but the only correct folder is the one in screenie2. Remove the ones in screenies 3 and 4.

I also have no idea what your other editor data folders edit. Could you check them one by one to see if they amend the Palermo name entry in any way?

For this to work, does one need to restart their game?

If yes, that sucks.

If not, I went into preferences, clicked reload skin but nothing happened. Germany is still fake, although the competitions are legit

Apply the files included in v2.0 onwards when using the 14.3 db. Use the previous versions of this file when using the 14.0 db. Looks to me like you've swapped things around, somehow, so you'll need to re-download both versions of this file and re-apply them both.

Thanks for your reply, the spanish league is working now, but now i have a new problem : There is no board interaction anymore, and also when I start a new game, the first meeting with the board doesn't work and stays just blank.

Thanks

Read the opening post carefully. There is no need to reload skin, the Germany national team will be populated with real players the next time players are called up and only the Club Name changes and real media files need to be applied BEFORE starting a new game.




Will be you update the Japan National Squad?

That's not within the remit of this file. There's some Japanese editor data files around which should fill the Japanese teams with real players.

I'm sorry but I have no idea what you've done and how you've managed to mess up your installation so thoroughly

I suggest you verify the game's cache so that any files or folder which you deleted get automatically regenerated.




yes i have just looked at they are all located in my documents,but all my other files work with the game

Again, remove them from My Documents and the other places and place them in Documents ONLY. They'll definitely work that way, it's really rather simple.

That's not included within this file and I've no idea why you thought that .

You need to download a logopack from this site, I personally recommend the Metallic logopack as it's quite comprehensive, but it's really up to you...

Like I said, you need to put the files in the Documents directory, and nowhere else.

I'm afraid not. Just open the Awards file with notepad and delete the sections that you don't like.

For this to work, you need to replace the 1400 folder items also, not just 1430.

If your save game was started prior to the release of 14.3, then this is indeed true

Hello, I have OSX 10.6.8, and I don't have the Steam folder here:

USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam

I can see all of my folders - including the hidden ones... Could the Steam folder be anywhere else???

In the portuguese version of this name fix, the "coaches" and "managers" appear under the same name, it's confusing, because they have different functions in a club. Both appear as "Treinador", and it should be written "Treinador" for "Manager" and "Preparador" for "Coach". I hope they change this error in future updates of this fix, because in older versions it was correct.

Names of the competitions haven't changed, is it because I haven't created a new game or because I am using a different language on it?

I'm afraid I'm on a Windows computer so I can't really help you out here Try using the search function to find the Steam installation folder - if you're playing a legal version of FM, then it MUST be somewhere on your system...

You'll have to be more specific, I've looked at the awards file (which I assume you're referring to) and there is no reference to preparadors in there...

In either case the competition names should still change. Can you post a screenshot of your lnc folder please?

Hello.

I made some fixes in my save.

tipp3-Bundesliga T-Mobile ---> tipp3-Bundesliga powered by T-Mobile (full name)
tipp3-Bundesliga ---> Bundesliga (short name)
Heute für Morgen - Erste Liga ---> "Heute für Morgen" Erste Liga (full name)
Bundesliga ---> 1. Bundesliga (short name)
La Liga ---> Primera División (short name)
Liga Adelante ---> Segunda División (short name)
Liga ZON SAGRES ---> Primeira Liga (short name)
Liga2 Cabovisão ---> Segunda Liga (short name)
Super Liga Srbije ---> Super Liga (short name)
Prva Liga Srbije ---> Prva Liga (short name)

FK Crvena Zvezda Beograd ---> FK Crvena zvezda* (Beograd isn't and never was part of the name)
Crvena Zvezda ---> Crvena zvezda*

*In Serbian language proper nouns have capital letter only in the first word. There is no exception.
I know because I'm Serb :-).
And you can see it on official site how is written, too:

It seems the Competitions and Other Fixes files has a thing that changes the name of Macedonia to FYROM, but this is not necessary as FYROM is already the default in the DB.
