Hi.

Did everything as follows and deleted the files, but Ajax staff's names are duplicated... Does that mean they have twice the staff, or does it not matter really?

The installation instructions for v2.0 of this download for 18.3.0 onwards of FM18 specify that the file adding the Ajax staff should be deleted as they are included in the default data in 18.3.0 (and therefore don't need to be created).

Yes, I did that. I went to the editor folder and deleted the two files, but Ajax still has duplicate staff. I must say that 18.3.0 came out after I started a save and I just deleted these files now mid-save, not at the start. Could it be the issue?

There have been no changes in the files generated by the 18.3.1, 18.3.2 or 18.3.3 hotfixes; if you installed the files from this download correctly at the time you downloaded them, then you shouldn't have problems.

That said, you're referring to the Japanese national team(s). I'm not sure what you're saying, sorry - can you post screenshot in-game of what you think the issue is? In the default SI database, all Japanese-based players are grey and this file does not add any Japan-based players to your career.

i say about Japanese national (halilovic is manager) not about kashima antlers for example..

Can you take a screenshot of the Ajax staff screen, displaying each person's UID?

Here is the screenshot, but its not possible to display UID for staff, unlike players on one page. Only if you go into every coach's profile. I attached a few of them. If you want, I can attach a profile of each one.

Also attached how my editor folder looks. Should be fine.

Of the 2 versions of each staff member, one has the correct UID (i.e. from the official database) and one has the UID of a person edited through the editor. Now I've just started a save in my game with the 18.0 database and the ones with the correct UID (and face) do not appear. This leads me to think that you have started your save with the 18.3db without realizing it and with the old Ajax staff file in place.

Yeah, perhaps. Not a big deal anyway. Was just perplexed as to why that happened.

Any new game you start with the 18.3db now won't have the duplication, if it's any consolation...

If you have already started a save-game or you are playing FMT or you are playing the beta and wish to change German, Spanish, Italian and French club names to the correct ones, there is a workaround. However, you will lose the club nicknames.

Open the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file with Notepad (on Windows) and TextEdit (on Mac). All the changes I've made in the editor data file are included in this file, however they are preceded by a hashtag (#) which makes the lnc file ignore any text following it.

You can remove the hashtags from in front of any of the "CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" and "CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" codes which you wish to change, and this will display these changes in your save game.

For Notepad, all you need to do is: Select the edit menu, click the replace option, type #"CLUB in the first field and "CLUB in the second and clicking replace all. Then save and close. Shouldn't take more than 3 seconds if you do it right




Basically, instead of


#"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern München" ""
#"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern" ""

you should have


"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern München" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "FC Bayern" ""


Basically:
Using an lnc
Pro: Can be used (and disabled) after a save game has been started
Con: Removes club nicknames for those teams whose name has been edited

Using the editor data file (not released yet for FM18!)
Pro: Retains club nicknames
Con: Needs to be applied before starting a new game

So i did all of this and it didn't work. I used to have name fix installed and working but not since the 18.3 update... Any tips?

If you are using 18.3, there is an additional folder in which the files need to be changed.

The workaround you are quoting is only necessary if you are in the middle of a save game. If you are starting a new game, then you need do nothing else apart from installing the files...

And what folder is that? Because i did the fix in the 1800, 1810 and 1830 folders. And i am in the middle of a save game and had a name fix working (this one if i'm correct) but it just stopped working...

I meant the 1830 folder.

Can you upload screenshots of your 3 lnc folders and also perhaps the club name changes lnc files from each one?

Can you try replacing
"Club_
with
"CLUB_

i.e. in uppercase throughout?

Did it. Still no succes...

You have quit FM, and restarted it, yes?

Can you upload the config.xml file itself here so I take a look at it? And also maybe a screenshot of club names in La Liga, Ligue 1 and/or Portugal in-game?

What config.xml do you want?

I'm so used to giving advice in the cutout faces megapack that I got confused

I meant the City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc file

Haha, here you go:

Can you try using this instead?

Used it. Still no effect...

And you put it in all 3 lnc folders? If so, I'm confused. Everything appears to be in order but is evidently not so

Can you try starting a quick save game to see if the club name changes work then?
