This file will need to be re-applied if/when official 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 automatically re-installed by Steam when official patches come out.

Some of these changes, ESPECIALLY THE CLUB NAMES, may not apply in the Beta, FM Touch or in existing save-games. There's a workaround for that in the first post.


The sortitoutsi real names fix changes the instances of fake names in Football Manager 2019 to the proper, real life names for awards, cities, stadiums and competitions, in cases where the actual name is not licensed, such as Champions League, Europa League and Premier League displaying instead of EURO Cup, EURO Vase and Premier Division respectively. It will also fix the fact that the Japanese National teams don't call up real players and that the Bayern manager has a fake name. These are all 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 Brazilian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French clubs to circumvent licensing restrictions. It also adds real-life media and journalists, encompassing most major footballing nations and continents. Brazilian clubs' text colours are also changed through an editor data file. 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 the files in this paragraph to work, however, you will need to start a new game.


Follow the below instructions to install this version of this file

STEP 1.
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1910
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2019\data\database\db\1930
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders

Notes:
\Program Files (x86)\
could be
\Program Files\
depending on your set up.

Mac
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1900 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1910 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
 / Users / username / Library / Application Support / Steam / SteamApps / common / Football Manager 2019 / data / database / db / 1930 
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders

You can find these folders by clicking, in the Finder, the Go menu in the menu bar, then choose Go to Folder and type the folder path name (obviously inserting your username), then click Go.

You can get to the Library folder by simply selecting Go from the top bar and holding "alt" key - The Library folder suddenly appears on the drop down

For Mac Lion users, the Library folder will be hidden. Use this link to find out how to show it.

For those struggling to find the Steam and Steam Apps folder etc using Mac with the new OS High Sierra, this link below shows how you can unhide your Library folder which will then let you find the other folders.

Slightly more detail in this post




OPEN
sdcard\Android\data\sportsinteractive.fm19\files\installed\data\\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
sdcard\Android\data\sportsinteractive.fm19\files\installed\data\\database\db\1910
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
sdcard\Android\data\sportsinteractive.fm19\files\installed\data\\database\db\1930
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders




OPEN
appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1900
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders
OPEN
sdcard\appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1910

OPEN
sdcard\appdata-local-packages-SportsInteractive(with a lot of random numbers)-Localcache-Local-Microsoft-WriteablePackageRoot-data\database\db\1930
DELETE the dbc , edt and Inc folders



STEP 2:
COPY the dbc, edt and Inc folders from the downloaded pack

STEP 3:
PASTE them into each of your respective folders mentioned in step 1.

These are what the respective folder structures should look like in the 1910 folders:

dbc/permanent: https://i.imgur.com/lozGizB.png
edt/permanent: https://i.imgur.com/duFkzcZ.png
lnc: https://i.imgur.com/luTKTAf.png

STEP 4:
COPY the 7 files located in the EDITOR DATA FILES folder in the downloaded pack

STEP 5
PASTE to
\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\editor data

\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\\GAMEPASS\editor data


This should be what your editor data folder looks like now. There may initially be a config.xml file in this folder and it can be safely overwritten; it is generated by FM every time the game starts.

To make sure the files have been applied correctly, go to the Champions Cup and EURO Vase in your saved game, and they should be renamed to Champions League and Europa League respectively. If you are in the middle of a save-game, Japanese national teams will be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not instantly. Do keep in mind that this file does not add Japan-based players are not in the official database and these will need a third-party add-on to be created and added.

Club names are only changed if you apply the editor data files before starting a new game. For a workaround if you've already started a new save-game, then please read the opening post of this thread.

@MMXX, I can't see much of a difference between the names currently in use in the game and the ones you're proposing. Largely, it's the removal of SAD from the name, which I don't intend to change since that's part of the official name, as indicated within a lot of the links you've provided.

I appreciate the work you're doing tremendously, but perhaps it's best if you focus on places where change is really necessary

As long as all parties have the exact combination of files, I really don't see why not.



Thanks for that @RoCCo_42, I'll fix that one as well

Hello @mons !

Just like in the previous years, I downloaded your Fix Files. I followed every step correctly, but when I start a new career, I keep having those fake names for the german teams. PS: I have the 19.1.1. version of the game. Any chance of solving this, except doing this from the Notepad?

Thanks in advance!!

FM19 contains real names for German clubs out of the box. Anybody not using this file will still get the correct names for German clubs, so I can't begin to understand how you're having this issue.

In fact, this year the file does not contain any changes to these teams since it's not necessary.

Can you give us a screenshot of the issue you're having please?

Yeah, I know and that's the weirdest part, since German Clubs are fully licensed! Was it my mistake putting your files in 1900 also?

Hello,

I've downloaded this file and everything seems to be updated apart from the some teams in Spain. I've taken a screenshot of La Liga and paste it onto a word doc in the attachment.

Should I download the file again?
Anyone else had this issue with the name of some teams?

Really don't know what to say. Can you try starting it in the English language? Maybe it's a language-specific issue for some reason?

I'm not exactly sure what I could do tbh

The editor data file is not language-specific so using it should theoretically fix the problem for you.

#prem colour change
"COMP_COLOUR_CHANGE" 11 0 56 0 60 233 0 82

Looks lovely, but that'll inevitably open up a can of worms with regards to competition colours so I'll steer well clear.




Can you take screenshots of the screen you get just before you start a new game? i.e the one where the editor data files being loaded are clearly displayed. And also a screenshot of the Spanish teams' selection screen.

As can be seen in the screenshot for this download, those clubs' names are being changed so it must be something that you didn't do quite right, so it's now a matter of locating it.



"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 952751 "Sacachispas" ""

I'll have to check and see whether that one's along the same lines of the others in its country, but I've taken note of it and thanks

Edit: That's already their short name, why would it need to be changed?

In the first post.

They are only necessary if you have already started a save game. If not, club names appear as changed by this file once you start a new game.

v1.1 of this file has been released. Aside from a smattering of minor competition and nation name changes, mostly thanks to @MMXX and all the other contributors, the main addition is more Brazilian team colour changes.

Apart from the teams in the top 2 tiers, @tyrionn has edited the "colors for all teams in Brazilian Serie C and D as well as teams with 1k+ rep from the major state championships (Rio, Sao Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia, Pernambuco, Parana, Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina)". This will mean that only very lower league clubs do not have the club colours on the main page matching those of their kit. This is a hard-coded licensing restriction which could only be changed manually.

More updates will follow in the coming days

Good spot - reuploading files accordingly.

As always, changes made through editor data files will need a new game to be started while lnc changes are save-game compatible.

I haven't had any issues at all with it. Starting a new game is extremely quick. And it's not broken in any way, shape or form, it's just that some users have issues with it lengthening the time it takes to start a new career. It doesn't affect your save game otherwise.

It's not something I would be able to fix as it's a problem with FM19 rather than this download. Hopefully SI issue a hotfix to sort this out.
