Thanks, Cpt_Glorious, for the community support here!

Thanks to everyone for your feedback! The Easy Mode bug is finally a thing of the past with the new v1.53! 

Apologies that it took so long!

Im doing fullscreen on Easy mode.

 

What do you mean with tesseract path?

 

Am I supposed to select some path manually? I cant find this in the instructions?

 

Okay, good that you're playing in fullscreen!

No, actually, that's not part of the tutorial. I suspect it's just a bug that's hard to fix somehow!

I already explained this to you in a previous version, hence my "again":

Go into the program:

First, switch the toggle in the top right corner from Bep In Ex to Tesseract.

Go to settings. There you'll find the Tesseract path. Click on it and navigate to the Tesseract folder -> the folder inside -> select tesseract.exe.

Switch back to Bep In Ex (top right). Now test it.

Does it work now? Please let me know.

Im back to give it another shot. Kudos for listening to my prevous feedback and making it more simple to use!

 

Its not working though or at least not properly. 

 

The commentator had two comments to say during the game 😀 I of course cannot say if he just had a “bad day at the office” or was stunned by the game at hand..

 

"The technical level is great" at about 60 mins and “We are heading into the last 10 minutes” at around 80 mins was everything he had to say before calling it a day. 

 

Other than that - GREAT WORK! I have attached the error log. 

Thanks again for your feedback, I'll try to implement everything if possible!

Are you playing in fullscreen mode? Or windowed mode? I've heard reports from people who are having problems with that.

If that doesn't help, try selecting the Tesseract path again. Does it work now?

If not, please let me know!

Hi, I solved the problem by setting the game to full screen (I was playing in windowed mode).

Now the commentary works, but I have two problems: the commentary is always delayed, and when teams score, the goals aren't highlighted (the commentators don't comment on the goals).

Thanks

 

Thanks for finding the problem! I was really desperate to find it.

Thanks for pointing out the two bugs; I'm working on a solution. Thanks for your feedback!

Love this mod. Is there a way to chnage the commentator's voice, having a german accent in my lower league england save is taking me out of the immersion. 

Yes, of course! In the program, go to Settings in the tabs at the top -> scroll down a bit to Audio & Voices! There you can select, test, and edit different voices!

Quick tip: if you've changed the language, restart the program so the voices update!

same

Was the DLL file placed in the Bep In Ex folder?

Do you have FM sound enabled in-game?

What language are you playing?

Please go to your Bep In Ex folder and send me the LogOutput.txt and ErrorLog.txt files so I can pinpoint the problem!

Skins shouldn't have any effect on this, unless the skin hides the comment widget. Is that the case?

hi how do I get this mod working on steam deck pls got files in right places app works in desk or game mode but  can't get the commentary to work while playing 

Hey! Thanks for trying the mod on Steam Deck. Unfortunately, a Steam Deck version isn't easily feasible at the moment. The commentator mod requires many Windows-specific features, especially for screen recording and background audio processing. SteamOS uses a different display server (Wayland/Gamescope) which, for security reasons, prevents background applications from recording the screen. This makes optical character recognition (OCR) impossible. To make the mod compatible with Steam Deck, I would have to remove large parts of it and create a smaller, lite version. This will take some time, but I'm working on it! 

Thanks so much for your feedback!

I actually managed to figure out the tesseract part!

 

But they were just saying mostly nonsense, so I left it there. Plus it's pretty confusing with the getting started with the match with the start, stop etc. There is a lot back and forth.

 

Im sure that there is something special here, but I will wait until its more automatic.

 

Okay, great, I understand and that's all good, I'll put that on my list to improve it in the future!

Hey, I've developed the mod you're looking for! Feel free to test it out; it should theoretically work in FM19 or the FM26 demo!

This concept and idea is pure genius, but impossible to setup and make work.

 

I have tried with every update, but as always. Error OCR.

 

Its sad because this is really going somewhere with every update, but it just cant seem to work…

Thanks for your feedback! 

 

I'm sorry about the bug! 

 

We'll get the OCR error sorted out! Did you extract the ZIP file?

 

Watch this video: 

https://youtu.be/INgTkRKhg8Q?si=MvIpqpUii4lnDEl1

 

Around 1:45, it shows you how to correctly set the Tesseract path. In the attached Tesseract folder, find the tesseract.exe file and select it. If you still get the OCR error, go to Settings, click the Help button at the very bottom, and there's a download link for Tesseract. Install the program. If it still doesn't work, also add the tesseract.exe file to the Tesseract folder under Program Files/Tesseract.

 

 

If none of that works, let me know and we'll find a solution!

When do the votes end to find out what language they will use next?
And when does it update?
I really wish it was in Portuguese

 

I'm trying to finish and upload the Portuguese version by the end of this week or at the latest by the end of next week! Thanks for your interest!

Danke für die tolle Arbeit. Dann muss ich also das Spiel erst Starten und abwarten bis der Ticker erscheint um ihn zu Kalibrieren,oder geht das auch anders.

Viele grüße.

 

Dankeschön, dein Feedback freut mich! Ja entweder du startest ein Spiel, gehst in Wiederholung deines letztes Spieles oder machst ein Screenshot und nutzt dieses!

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback! Yes, you can either start a game, go to the replay of your last game, or take a screenshot and use that!

Installing helped load the tesseract, but the commentator only says letters. like “A EOO I AEE 5"

 

Thanks for the feedback! Does he only say such nonsense, or does he also say normal in-game sentences occasionally? Either the garbage filter needs to be set up differently in English; I'm working on a solution! Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience! I'm very grateful that you shared this with me!

Don't work for me again. Help please!

 

Okay,

Try right-clicking on FM26_MatchDay_V1.20.exe and selecting “Run as administrator.”

 

If that doesn't work, check if all the files are present in the tesseract folder, just like in the zip file.

 

If all the files are present, check the properties of the files to see if your antivirus program is blocking anything. There should be a third option under "Read-only" and "Hidden" that you might need to check.

 

If none of that works, install tesseract OCR using this link https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/tesseract/tesseract-ocr-w64-setup-v5.2.0.20220712.exe

 

If it doesn't do it automatically, change the path in the Live Commentary Mode settings to your new tesseract folder under Program Files.

 

If none of this works, I'm completely stumped, but we'll find a solution!  Thank you so much for your feedback and your patience!

Can you test if it works with a resolution of 1920x1200? If yes, then calibrate the live ticker once more! 
If not, please copy the error message from the program so I can better understand exactly where the problem is!

Hello. I'm having trouble getting it to work. Despite following the installation video instructions, I keep getting an "OCR ERROR" error, and the status messages generated by the program indicate that Tesseract is not installed. How can I resolve this? Thanks.

Hello, thank you very much for your feedback! 
Did you leave the program in the folder with all the other stuff, especially the folder "tesseract"? 
If yes, try it with this:

 

It looks like your Windows is missing some standard components (Visual C++ Redistributables) to run the OCR engine.

Please download and install the Visual C++ Redistributable x64 from Microsoft.

Restart your computer.

The 'OCR ERROR' should then be resolved.

Select the option Latest supported v14 there

 i downloaded 1.20 version doesnt  make any difference unless doing it wrong been trying all day,got nowhere  xcept balls rolling

 

I'm so sorry you're having so many problems! I hope we can solve this. 

 

Here are a few questions: 

Did you unzip the file?

What operating system are you using?

What resolution are you playing FM at? Are you playing in windowed mode or full screen?

Have you properly calibrated the clock and the live ticker? (under Settings)

Are you connected to the internet?

Have you tried pressing the INTRO and START mini-buttons?

Did an antivirus program delete a file without your knowledge?

 

The program has a section at the bottom where it writes down everything it detects or reports. Send me the text or error report!
