FM2016 Real Names and German National Team Fix File v3.2 for FM16.3.1 [07/04/2016]

Yes, you should. To be honest, I don't think it will, but I'm not 100%.

That's why I specify that the original edt and lnc folders are to be deleted outright and replaced by the folders in the download...

I did exactly that!

Anyway deleting both of those files has done the trick, save game compatible too.

Thanks for your help.

Hihi,

Say i only want to make Germany call up her players, what are the files tat i need to copy, delete?

Please help! Thanks a lot!

Edit: Gonna play on latest patch(16.3) using originl db(16.01?).

This is weird! my German team is blanked out again after the patch DURING a saved game I had previously! look-

before patch on my saved game-

after patch on my saved game-

is this normal? and has anyone else experienced this? and yes I have re-downloaded the new files and replaced them since 16.3 as I've started a new game without any issues.

You can delete all the lnc files in the 1600 and 1601 folders and just have one lnc file with the below lines included:

#Germany
"FAKE_NATIONAL_TEAM"	771	0

Did you verify the integrity of the game cache at some point? This would have seen the default edt and lnc files being generated, which would mean that the file removing the

Can you upload screenshots of the lnc and the edt/permanent folders in the 1600, 1601 and 1630 folders? I'm willing to bet that there is a fake.edt folder in either of them.

yes mons. thanks I think that's it! I had to do that to run network games after the update. ive reinstalled it but the german team is still greyed out on my old saved game
what can I do?

Correct long name of Norwegian cup: Norgesmesterskapet i fotball.

Correct long name of the club HamKam: Hamarkameratene, as in the original version of the game. Whoever gave you "Hamarkameratene 1918" is wrong.

I've managed to correct the cup name by editing the lnc-file, but I can't seem to make it work for the club name. Any advice?

Thanks for the first one.

As for the second one, it's contained within the dbc file and so it supersedes any changes you may make to lnc files. You'll have to bear with it, but I'll make a note to change it for the next version of this file, for FM17 at this point probably...

Downloaded and started new game. Names of German teams appear to have changed (such as Gelsenkirchen to Schalke), but default competition names (such as European Champions Cup) and German national selection remain same as before. Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks for that zeppi7

You have installed the editor data files correctly, but not the lnc files.

The lnc files should be installed in the 1630 folder if you are using the official winter transfer database and in the 1600 and 1601 folders if you are using the default database. If you think you have installed the files correctly, perhaps you can upload screenshots of your respective lnc folders so I can see if there's something wrong in there.

i have no problem with german players after i deleted the inc folder (as i always do)
however in my game japan doesn't pick real players and i could not manage the national side. I'm using a japanese league patch so i can manage their club sides but somehow i couldn't manage the national side.
any chance i could get that to work?

As said before, if it's the lack of players, then there's nothing much which can be done other than downloading a Japanese editor data file which populates Japanese teams. As it stands, Japanese players are not in the database due to licensing issues; I can't just create them out of thin air

Hi! Thanks for the good work. I have a question though... I did everything written in instructions and it works perfectly but now I'd like to change a few competition names in the FM 2016 Editor. Will it work without changing the rest I got from this site?

Thanks in advance for answering!

ok problem solved it's not save compatable, need to start a new game. guess i need to start over again. thx

If you want the changes to take effect in your current save game, then you can edit the lnc files and make the required changes using the same method as used for other competitions.

You can change the competition names via the editor, and this will work alongside all the other changes in the lnc file. The only difference is that it won't be save-game compatible.

It's not clear from your initial post that you have applied the files from this download. If you haven't, the file does contain a fix enabling real players to be called up for the Japanese national team (similar to that for Germany). However, if the file is applied in the middle of a save-game, then the Japanese national team will only be populated by real players in the next instance that players are called up, and not immediately after the file is applied. Hope this helps.

As an aside, can you please let me know where you got the Japanese player database file; I haven't found one yet for FM16...

i'm using the one from fm15, so it's not that perfect but beats not having anything

I'm at work and can't see imgur images - will have to get back to you later tonight on this.

The 1601 edt and lnc folders are not correct. Delete them and install the edt and lnc folders from this download instead - and let me know how it goes

I made no player changes through the editor with this file. Either you have installed the files incorrectly, or you are running other editor data files which make the changes which you are mentioning.

*Edited, Fixed*

I managed to see that before you removed it I was actually going to propose some solutions

How did you manage to solve them, if I may ask, and what was the reason they occurred? I only ask so that I can keep it in mind if other users suffer similar problems...
