I looked at the League 2 rules in my game and there is only one registration window, in December, which follows after the winter transfer window, which is in November.

 

I started a new vanilla game, without the Indonesia leagues mod, to check what the original game's rules were in League 2.

 

It has two registration windows, one in summer, from June to September, while the other is in November, which is also the winter transfer window.

 

So, using the Indonesia leagues mod, one is missing the whole of the summer registration window in League 2, and the winter registration window is not aligned with the winter transfer window, occurring one month after it.

 

So one will have to use the FMRTE mod to manually register players for all clubs at the end of the summer transfer window, before the first match of the season, and potentially multiple times in the winter transfer window.

Well, a workaround for this appears to be to use FMRTE to register players.

 

Here's what I did, if anyone encounters this issue…

 

I selected Search in FMRTE and pressed Enter to bring up everyone in the game. I selected Players and highlighted all of them with Ctl + A. Then I right-clicked and applied the ‘Player Squad Registration.json’ Preset to all of them. 

 

First thoughts are that it seems to have worked okay. Instead of registering all players at a club, including all youth team players, it seems to have registered all first-team players and some youth players, with some room still left over in the 35-man squad registration limit.

#833958 Manually adding new faces for newgens

I've created some new faces using AI for my newgens.

 

I was having trouble getting them to appear in the game, until I found a solution online. This involved adding r- to each newgen entry in the config.XML in the faces folder.

 

For example,

 

  <record from="2002074559" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002074559/portrait"/>
 

would be changed to:

 

  <record from="2002074559" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002074559/portrait"/>

 

However doing the same - adding r- - to the equivalent bit of code in the iconfaces folder's config.XML file didn't work, so the mini face images in the game retained their original game-related faces.

 

Anyone know how to get the user-created faces in the iconfaces folder to register?

 

This is how the equivalent line of code in the iconfaces config.XML file looks:

 

  <record from="2002074559" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002074559/icon"/>

Hi MasterIgor,

 

I'm starting my third season in the Indonesian leagues and have encountered an issue.

 

I'm about to play my first match of the season. I'm unable to register my new (all free transfer) players to my squad. I don't believe there was any registration notification this season asking me to register players for the upcoming season. I can register some of the new players, but I can't fit them all into the 35-man squad. In previous seasons, I filled up the 35-man squad with youth players. I'm unable to unregister any of these players to make space for the new players.

 

In this screenshot of my squad registration page, it says "Liga 2 squad registration (window opens on 1/12/2025)", which is three months away:

When I look at the opponent I am supposed to play in the upcoming match, half of their players are unregistered:

This would reinforce the notion that the squad registration notification for this season never happened.

 

Do you think this an issue creating by your mod, which reorganised the league system starting in the second or third season?

Thanks. 

 

I've abandoned creating a club (in the pre-game editor) as all the League 2 clubs were being randomly allocated to the regional league groups. (I tried with both the vanilla game and your mod),

 

So I'll play a pre-existing club with your database.

If using the game's Create-a-Club option, how could I be sure that the club would go to the relevant region-specific group when Liga 2 changes from 4 groups to 3 groups in 2024?

@Ron Wandle, I can see what you mean. But it'll be something "wrong" from SI, rather than an actual licensing issue - so it wouldn't be something for this file

Yep, the mistake looks to be by SI, not with this file.

Thanks for making the file available!

Can you give me a couple of examples so I can check please? I don't think the issue it'll be at my end tbh...

I think I've worked out what's going on.

The twenty teams in Campeonato Brasileiro Série C are divided into two regional leagues of ten teams each, Group A and Group B. The game accurately has all twenty of these real life Série C teams, but does not put them in the correct real life groups - the game places three Group A teams in Group B, and vice versa.

The Wikipedia page on the 2019 Campeonato Brasileiro Série C has a helpful map of where the competing teams are located. I have highlighted the two regional leagues in the maps below, with Group A in red, and Group B in green. The map on the left shows the real life distribution of clubs, while the map on the right shows the distribution of clubs as appearing in the game.

It can be seen that, in real life, Group A encompasses the north-east of Brazil, with Group B encompassing the rest of the country, while, in the game, the division is on a more North-South basis.

I don't know my Brazilian leagues from my elbow, so it's not a big deal. At least it has a logic to it. I think that in Série B and upwards the league is unified again, anyway.

Not sure what's going on. For example, according to Wikipedia, Náutico played in Campeonato Brasileiro Série C in both 2018 and 2019, both times in Group A. However, in the game, they are in Group B.

Sorry, they aren't from the 2018 season as I stated a couple of posts ago. I'm not sure where these other three teams have come from.

Hi, I've applied the FM2020 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v1.3 to FM Touch 2020.

Looking in the lowest Brazilian league, the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C, the teams featured are those from the 2018 season (14 April to 22 September 2018), not the 2019 season in which FM 2020 starts.

What's going on here? Is this Sports Interactive not updating the current teams, or the Licensing and Real Name Fix applying the wrong names to them?

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 ensure these changes are displayed 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

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/jBZXIwKOjK54tqoy3LarAncNNx4zOkFeeExfzKZ8.png


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
Pro: Retains club nicknames
Con: Needs to be applied before starting a new game

I'm applying these changes to FM 2020 Touch.

For modifying the "City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc" file in Notepad, is this this to be done to all three "City, Club and Stadium Names.lnc" files, i.e. the file of that name in each of the 2000, 2001 and 2010 folders?

Thanks in advance.
