Carlito85 - Comments

Ignore this, I didn't see the most recent addition. My bad.

EDIT: Never mind I found it.

if you make it again for FM23, can you make it for the season 2003/04. Thanks in advance.

 

I thought I had done that already but it turns out I haven't. I do have the 2002/03 format though. It shouldn't be too hard to create an alternate for 03/04 so I'll note it down.

@Carlito85 You can get a much larger image size by removing this part from the image URL:

Like so:

That's much better. I had tried changing the resolution in the link but it didn't work, so I'll remember that in future. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Carlito, will there be a UEFA Revival for FM23?

 

Hi there. I'm hoping to get started on this again for FM23 within the next couple of months if possible, which is admittedly later than usual. Better late than never though.

@kingrobbo Hi mate. All is well thanks, just been pretty busy over the last couple of months.

I haven't had a chance to look around in the editor yet. Just got the game yesterday but I'll be taking a look at things towards the end of the month when I start working on converting my files over from FM21. The Super League gave me a load of problems with it being a tier above the Champions League, for whatever reason I'm still not sure why. Glad to see that the method of banning the teams from a competition still works though, that should prove useful.

One potential problem for competitions like the Intertoto Cup I've found over the years can be that a certain nation's season may not have finished in time for the new season of the Intertoto Cup's starting date. As a result it means that teams from that specific nation are left out and then replaced with teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid etc, or even worse the entire competition just doesn't happen lol.

For the youth competition I've found that you need to be super specific with every single nation that takes part in it. For example in the Teams section in the editor you need to add a rule for every single nation which will grab either an U21 side, an U23 side, an U18 side, an U19 side, an U20 side, or a B team (depending on what that nation tends to use). That way the teams in the youth tournament should show up as “Crystal Palace U18s” etc.

Hope this is of some help to you bud.

You need to download the 2022.00 update pack (i.e. not the full file) then overwrite your existing files, yeah.

 

Thanks a lot. I'm so glad I asked first lol, I had downloaded the full pack so I would have probably overwritten all of the FM21 updates up to 13.15.

Regarding the 2022.00 download with it being a base file, do I just need to overwrite all images in the faces folder as per usual?

By kingrobbo 18 June 2021 - 04:16 AM UTC 

update I have looked at updating the template file to have the uefa conference league  start in 2020 now my editor is crashing all the time  when I save any file so reported bug to SI

 

I have the conference league set up in my own European file but that is a retro set up for my own preferences with a lot of changes to the European structure etc 

so the conference league can start in 2020 as can seen in 2020/21 Parma won it

 

but my editor is now bugged and not working its just crashing

 

I will tag @Carlito85  see if he can just update that template file so it starts in 2020

 

the other option is to download Calito's excellent file and adapt it if you want as IIRC the comp is active from 2020 in some of his options

 

Sure, I can change the starting year for you.

If i place the files in the folders where it should be then i don't see the backgrounds, Logo's and competition files. I also cleared the cash.

By the way, What skin are you using at the screenshots.

 

Do you have other existing graphics installed? There should be a config file in each folder you have for your existing graphics and you'll need to add a line of code to those with the ID of each competition. To find the competition ID you can activate this in your preferences.

The skin I'm using is FLUT Skin Dark.

@kingrobbo 

Have you set the fixture priority in the Dates tab under the group schedule to highest? I never realised until recently that there's a priority box on that page if you scroll further along but it may help ensure the fixtures are played as intended at the correct time. Also have you set the stadium rule to “Host”? There may be more worth looking at inside of the Stadium Rules near the bottom of the list too.

 

One other thing I've learned that works for group fixtures too is setting a pre-made fixture date for the end of your group stage and then applying that date for the final group fixture in the “General” tab under the group schedule.

By kingrobbo 28 May 2021 - 23:32 PM UTC 

no problems at all

 

are you using those match day rules we have been discussing in these files?

 

Yeah they're active in file #57 (one of the 1970's throwback files).

By kingrobbo 28 May 2021 - 21:15 PM UTC 

another masterpiece my friend 😉

 

Much thanks mate. A lot of hours have gone into the latest update but hopefully people can get a good run out of it until the next game is released.

Thanks a lot for the pin as well 😀

Could somebody make these 2 European Super League logos into metallic for me please?

Have raised this issue here.

https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/552050-custom-continental-club-qualification-system-changes-domestic-league-appearance/

@Carlito85 

 

Would be good if people could add a few comments showing the strength of feeling about this issue. 

 

Replied to the thread mate.

Unfortunately the colour bands are linked to the domestic league's qualification rules instead of the continental file. This means if you want each league to show the accurate amount of qualification places you'd have to edit the nation rules for each country in Europe so that they match up with the continental file you're using. That's why I left the qualification places blank in my UEFA project because I have so many different variants.

Also explained the “Show Continental Cup Seedings” option. That is definitely bugged as it doesn't show up this year for continental competitions but it does for international ones.

 

@kingrobbo Am I right in thinking you were working on the Super League? If so is everything up and running for it?

By kingrobbo 30 March 2021 - 18:58 PM UTC 

that was my first thought too

however when I did that the Euros didnt take place in game it did however take place in 2024 but showed the winner then as being 2020, so some sort of bug 

😉

 

I may try later this week to put 2 sets of rules for the Euros see if I can one set just for 2021 and then get the other to start for 2024(with advanced rules would be easy to do that…but using those I cant get the non seeded groups to work lol)

 

Excellent. Will definitely give this a download when it's ready.

This is like the dream of how the UCL should be. However big clubs and money rule the game… I never understood why the first 3 countries deliver 12 out of the 32 clubs and then also receive extra points by the UEFA for their ‘qualification’. I've always imagined to make a better/fair structure in FM, like the first 20 countries get a place, 12 clubs via those 2 paths, randomized/non seeded groups. Also financial aspects; UCL should have less prize money and Conference League and Europa League should pay more money to get equal balancing within leagues (look at a couple of smaller leagues in Europe, like Croatia: Dinamo has been champions for 20 years, just because they are the only club to receive massive loads of money from the UEFA).

 

How do you change those rules? Can you for example select per position on the ranking how many tickets the specific country receives?

 

When recreating the competitions from scratch you can select the nation rankings and determine how many teams are allocated per nation, but it unfortunately won't change each year based on coefficients - it would have to be set in stone. I've recreated pretty much all of the old UEFA competition formats dating back to the 1970's in my UEFA Revival project for FM20 (currently trying to convert the files over for FM21) but I will try to add your idea as a new file.

By kingrobbo 30 March 2021 - 05:52 AM UTC 

cracked it made a new set of rules for EUROS and qualifiers and the issue IMO was not having EUROS in 2020, then having it in 2021 and trying to run it in 2024 wasnt working 

 

 so instead I am going with 2021 and every 4 years from there seems to solve the problem, not ideal but works and I have random groups now, not seeded which is what I wanted👍

 

Brilliant work mate. Would it not be easier to have the Euros in 2020 and just ignore that it will be held in 2021 in real life? Maybe bring back the date of the 2022 World Cup to a regular summer schedule too?

I'm not too familiar with the process for international competition rules, but I would have thought that it could be done the same way using the advanced rules in the editor. The qualifiers would be the tough part to figure out I'd imagine with there being different regions etc.

Cheers mate. Hope all is well 👍

I actually haven't got the FM21 editor installed yet. Finishing up some last bits and pieces for FM20 along with some outside work before I get started on carrying everything over for 21. It doesn't sound too encouraging to hear that you've encountered a few problems so early on though lol.

Hoping to release a version for FM21 over the next few weeks.

No worries, I'll do that in future. Will get that other one cropped now.

Just out of curiosity is it possible to resize these while maintaining the quality/aspect ratio of the image? I just tried one from the Nottingham Forest team page and it blurs when using the anchorpoint method

Original size:

I'll mess around with the URL and see if I can find a larger version mate. I got it from the official Notts Forest team page so it may be possible.

Just in case I can't I've got a few alternatives that might work:

EDIT: I managed to get this from the URL but admittedly it's a bit blurrier than I thought it would be

Tidied the edges around the neck up a bit

Tweaked the colouring a bit

Nice one, thanks for the help. Managed to get the top part of the image in colour

How would I get this image in colour? It was in colour until I removed the crop part from "image/cropandgreyscale/" and now it's in black and white.

https://www.itfc.co.uk/api/image/greyscale/375ba86e-4985-401f-9bbe-a8a24b208ffe/?preset=player&greyscale=false

Just a heads up, the pic looks like it was already cut out, hence the hair being a bit choppy around the edges. If anybody is good with that you may be able to tidy it up a bit.

Here's the original, albeit in lower resolution in case anybody can find an uncut version:

Thanks to andr3 on the forums for finding the higher res version

Found this pic of Fabio Coentrao from the Rio Ave website if anybody knows how to get a bigger version of it
