FM2017 Real Names and German National Team Fix File v2.1 for FM17.3.0 [03/03/2017]

Hi, I have recently tried to change the name 'Milan' to 'AC Milan' in the config file but it still appears as Milan? I have copied this change over to all db versions and restarted the game?! any ideas?

Many thanks

Unfortunately Brazilian club name fix doesn't seem to work for existing save games. For new games it's fine, but for old saves it's the same 3 letter names. I see you have been posting some instruction on editing a file to remove the hashtags, but this file doesn't seem to contain the Brazilian clubs, so doesn't help.

New competition names for few Norwegian League

Tippeligaen are now called Eliteserien - 1300397
3rs division are now called Regionsligaen - 1301420
Regionsligaen Avdeling 1 - 53057341
Regionsligaen Avdeling 2 - 53057342
Regionsligaen Avdeling 3 - 53057343
Regionsligaen Avdeling 4 - 53057344
Regionsligaen Avdeling 5 - 53057345
Regionsligaen Avdeling 6 - 53057346

Thanks for this. Changed accordingly

One question: I've just checked the Norwegian competition list and there are presently competitions named 3. Divisjon Avdeling 7 and 3. Divisjon Avdeling 24 between UIDs 53057347 and 53057352 and 53083513 and 53083524. Are they also to be renamed Regionsligaen or not please?

No, they will be extinct in the 2017 season, but still playable for 2016 season, but in the 2nd season in the game, it will be changed to new league format.

No problem re the final two.

For the first one, I prefer to have the long name different to the short name if possible. I got that text from the Portuguese wikipedia page.

Would it make sense to have them in this manner?

"COMP_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 102424 "Campeonato Carioca Série A" ""
"COMP_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 102424 "Campeonato Carioca" ""

Actually, no one puts "Série A", nor it's part of the name, just saying "Campeonato Carioca" means we're saying about the first division.

For the Long Name, to keep the full name of this state championship means that you should probably do the same to all the 27 state divisions and also the long name for those which have lower divisions. For that, and for most of the championship, it's best to keep just Campeonato Carioca.


Edit: The official name is "Campeonato Estadual de Futebol da Série A de Profissionais". It doesn't even say Rio de Janeiro. That's reassure the known name as just "Campeonato Carioca".

Hiii

Gazovik-2 Orenburg (ID 58020494) - True club name is FC Orenburg-2

After the patch 17.2 German national team is full of grey fake guys but Japan naitonal team calls up real players.I applied all instructions but I didn't delete the file named "1700_fm" in db/1700 folder.I also didn't delete "1701_fmc" "1701_fm" file in db/1700 etc. Do we need to delete all files except for dbc,edt,inc?

Why now Sporting from Portugal have " Sporting (POR) " ?!

Can put " Sportign CP " ??

I've tried to change it on my own and it didn't work.

If this issue could be adressed, please also change Sporting (POR) B to Sporting CP B

Many thanks

I've added the file, applied it and seems to work fine. However, some of the club names haven't shown up correctly.

Germany
Schalke are known as Gelsenkirchen and many other clubs don't have the full club name.

Same goes for the Portuguese and Spanish clubs? Is there a reason for this?

That's the issue. It is a new game as I got it today. So I don't quite understand why it isn't working. Looks like the German, Portuguese and Spanish clubs only affected.

The editor data folder has the following files - I can't screen grab it as I haven't got the required software:
3 Letter Name for Competitions
Bookmakers
Club Name Changes
European Competition Colour Changes
Merged Media Files.

If there's nothing you can do, it's fine. I'll buy the editor to make the change solely.

Thanks for your hard work, it is appreciated. Everything else seems to work fine.

The Germany national team is working but not the team names. I looked in the editor folder and the file is full of nonsense, any ideas what's gone wrong?

Hmm, that's strange as the contents seem fine. Where have you placed the folder? Is it in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2017? The files must be directly in the editor data folder. Anything within a sub-folder won't work.

Can you perhaps take a photo with your mobile of the folder? Or maybe a print screen with your keyboard, then paste it to paint? And in each case attach it to your reply.

It's in exactly the same folder when I copied the files across. In case you're wondering, there were other editor data files around but I've not change the file structure from the download.

That particular file can't be opened with Notepad, but only with the editor.

Club name changes only work if applied BEFORE starting a new game. There is a workaround in the first post to get them displayed in an existing save game, but this will see the respective clubs' nicknames not appearing.

Edit: I see we've already had a very similar conversation earlier this year with the FM16 version of this file and that you eventually solved it, so make sure you do the same steps

Aha, got it.

The above files should be in the first editor data folder, such as in this screenshot:

In your screenshot, they're in another sub-folder. Take them out, start a new game, and they should work. They will work perfectly fine alongside other editor data files; I have 50-odd other files from here and there and haven't had any issues whatsoever

we did, but can you let me know the link?
I did all this before starting a game.

Which link mate?
