This file is intended for FM13.3, 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.

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.

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

Step 1: Go to

PC
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1300 
AND
 Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2013 \ data \ db \ 1330 
MAC
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1300
AND
USERNAME \ Library \ Application Support \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Football Manager 2013 \ Data \ db \ 1330
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 2013
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 the 30 files in the folder from 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.

I can't seem to get it to work. If I can't find 'steamapps' does that mean that that is the root of the problem?

I remember removing all 'unused' files on my C drive a few weeks ago, would that have done it?

The steamapps folder is the folder in which the game is installed. It can't not be there, unless you have a pirated version or you decided an alternate Steam installation path other than the default one.

Thanks Mons. You were right, it was there.

For future reference to anyone, if your using an SI update (13.3.0 for instance) you must delete/paste into folder 1330 rather than 1300.

I downloaded LFC Marshall's Summer Update and I think he may have renamed competitions himself, which I think is interfering with this file. Is there a way to get around this without removing all the renaming in the summer update editor data file?

I don't think that is the correct installation folder for FM13. If it is, then you're not using Steam, then you're using a pirated version, in which case I'm not giving you any help at all.

If the installation path is nevertheless correct, then adding this file in the middle of a save game will not mean that the German national team is immediately populated with real players; you'd have to wait till the next time that players are called up.

I'd also need to see a screenshot of your \1330\lnc folder to verify you have installed the files correctly.

If this is in the middle of a save game, then there's nothing which can be done, I'm afraid. The changes in an editor data file will always take precedence over those made in an lnc file.

I figured I'd post this here rather than make a new thread.

I have updates that make the German & Japanese national teams work (as in they actually call up their players) however, given my utter obsession with the game having to be as accurate as possible I noticed that the Minnesota Stars FC are no longer called that. They are now Minnesota United FC. I decided to alter the team and to that end went into the lnc file that changed awards, etc and made it happen. It worked, they were now known as Minnesota United FC. However, the team colors and kits were off, so I downloaded FMRTE and altered the kits and colors to match their real life counterparts. However, I've now noticed that the team's name is back to Minnesota Stars FC. I looked at the lnc file and everything was untouched as I'd left it. I also attempted to change the name of the K-League to the K-League Classic and Challenge respectively but the name changes absolutely refuse to take hold. Now I'm unsure if FMRTE did something or I'm just stuck with it as is.

Any help in this matter would be appreciated it.

It could very well be that the club's name got changed in the Club Name Changes.dbc file. If this is the case, then I'm afraid that the name cannot be changed since any changes made in a dbc file cannot be altered through lnc file.

If this is not the case, have you tried to change the club's name via FMRTE?

Louis van Gaal is mentioned as Jan Jansen in the game, still after I installed the files. So, you have to add another line in the 'Competitions and other Fixes.lnc':

"CHANGE_PLAYER_NAME" 4200588 "Louis" "" "van Gaal"

Small changes to a few (short) club names would be good too as Bayern in international competitions isn't known as FC Bayern (simply Bayern for this, without FC)... same for the short name of Milan, which is A.C. Milan or Marseille which is called OM in the game. These FC, CF, AS, AC things look annoying in short names...

Also in front of many many lines there are these # signs, which make the lines invalid and useless.

So, a few suggestions from me...

# Austria
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 152 "FK Austria Wien" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 152 "Austria" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 155 "SK Rapid Wien" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 155 "Rapid" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 156 "SK Sturm Graz" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 156 "Sturm Graz" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 158 "FC Red Bull Salzburg" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 158 "Salzburg" ""

# Denmark
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 496 "Brøndby IF" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 496 "Brøndby" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 505 "FC København" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 505 "København" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 932443 "Nordsjælland" ""

# France
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 826 "Monaco" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 851 "Bordeaux" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 868 "Lille" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 865 "Lyon" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 866 "Marseille" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 868 "PSG" ""

# Germany
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 915 "Bayern" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 948 "Bremen" ""

# Italia
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1099 "Milan" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1129 "Fiorentina" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1132 "Genoa" ""

# Netherlands
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1007 "Groningen" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1009 "Twente" ""
"CLUB_LONG_NAME_CHANGE" 1013 "Feyenoord Rotterdam" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1036 "Heerenveen" ""

# Spain
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1687 "Atlético" ""


For France I mentioned only the most important clubs, because all French clubs have inappropriate short names, same for Austria. Many Eastern European clubs have city names in brackets which is another annoying thing the community could and in my opinion should solve in the near future.

I can confirm that the Louis van Gaal issue is not present in my game Can anybody else confirm it is happening for them?

Regarding the short names, they are not governed by the entries in the club lnc file, but by the ones in the Club Names Changes.dbc file. This needs to be applied before starting a new game, however. The reason for this is that if you make changes in an lnc file, the respective club's nicknames is lost. The reason there is an # there for many of the clubs in the lnc file is in case SI reverse this decision in some version of the game in the future, and I would then just need remove the # for everything to be sorted. In this regard, all the changes I make in the dbc file are replicated in the lnc file. For some of the minor clubs, I only make the changes in the lnc file, however, as it's not worth the time duplicating the work. I hope I've explained the concept clearly

Some of the examples you've provided are therefore already in place, but I'll have a look at them and add the ones I think should be amended.

Regarding the Eastern European club names, I believe that some are corrected already, but you're welcome to provide me with any you think should be changed and what they should be changed to.

I'm a little confused. I have the latest update (13.3.3).... and I gather that the 1300 folder is the default, while the 1330 is for the update... but am I supposed to delete the dbc, edt, and lnc from BOTH of those folder and copy your files into BOTH of those folders? Or should I ONLY replace the files in 1330? If that is the case, it looks like there are 3 files in my 1330/dbc, and 2 in 133/edt that you do not include in your mod (and the whole structure of the lnc folder is different, but I'm guess that's normal for this)... should I still delete those files?




I'm new to the game, but not to modding. I just want to make sure I don't delete anything I shouldn't and end up crashing my save.

To be pedantic, you only need to replace the files in 1300 if you started your current save game in that database. If you plan to start a new one with 1330, then that's where they should go.

The different amount of files should not affect or crash your save game, no, to set your mind at ease.

Hi,

On finder, click 'Go' then 'Go to folder', in the box type ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/ and drill down from there.

The '~' is required otherwise you will end up in the wrong 'Application Support' folder

I'm new to a Mac (PC user), so took me a while to work out

Cheers,

Boony

Have you removed the previous contents of the lnc folder before replacing them with these files? Copy/pasting will leave a file which negates the changes.

Could you upload a screenshot of the lnc folder?
