Hey @rabcp - got a very quick question for you!

Say I only wanted to add boards for one or two competitions, leaving the rest to work as default. Is this possible, or would I still need to go for the full pack?

[WhiteH], tremendous work! Would you mind if I use your redone Scottish logos to update my lower leagues logopack? I'll ensure that you are fully credited.

Might ask for one or two more, will check the pack and see which ones are of poorer quality.

Hi Barry,

I'll have a look over the weekend and see if I can't help.

In the meantime - I take it you mean an "umbrella" competition for leagues at the same level? Unless I'm misunderstanding, all you have to do is add competition > parent competition, and make sure the "umbrella" has no clubs in it (and is set to Domestic Division)?

Hi folks! I'm working on an enhanced database file for the Scottish Football Pyramid, as I did last year - the bonus this year being that it *touch wood* works properly with promotion to the professional leagues this year!

UPDATE: Final Beta file ready! I've done all the groundwork, all that's left to do now is to add more info and depth to the new playable clubs.

Full Change List

Added all relevant divisions
Added main regional and lower cups
Amended prize monies
Updated club reputations
Added awards for new divisions
Create logo pack (WIP, need to add trophies etc)
Corrected kits, colours (done for level 5, WIP level 6)
Create & add correct managers (WIP)
Fill out with real-life squads (WIP) - use "add players to playable teams" for now.

----------------------------------------------


The setup - this reflects the real-life pyramid, as shown below:

SPL
Championship
League 1
League 2
Highland & Lowland Leagues
East of Scotland & South of Scotland Leagues (both feed into Lowland League)

Newly added cup competitions:

Highland League Cup
Lowland League Cup
North of Scotland Cup
South of Scotland Cup
Aberdeenshire Cup
East of Scotland Qualifying Leagues
Southern Counties Cup


Give it a go! I'll probably create a database with the Junior system further down the line, but will concentrate on getting this right first.

Haha yeah i know mate. I was so upset that i had to stop haha.


Looks like I've (finally) cracked it! Here's a link to the version 15.0.3 test DB, which now includes the North Caledonian League and related cups as well. Fingers crossed!

NOTE: I've not confirmed the regions on this as yet, so don't be surprised to see an EoS Division 1 team randomly turn up in the Caledonian League...

Hello mate I've found a problem with the database. I was Gretna and won the league and met Cove Rangers in the play-offs. I won the first leg 3-0 then lost 1-0 the second leg but Cove went through and met Stenhousemuir in the final play-off. Don't know if it was a bug but you may have to have a look mate
Cheers


Looking into it now - see http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/406554-FM15-Scotland-Full-Pyramid-System-%28formerly-Highland-amp-Lowland-Leagues%29 for the latest updates (and beta files for version 3 when ready).

It's really frustrating, as it seems to work perfectly when both teams are AI, but as soon as one team in user controlled the game gets confused. Gotta love the editor sometimes...

Would anyone be able to make kits for the Scottish lower leagues? We be a nice addition, and how are you getting on with the other leagues mate?


Getting there! Should be finished and tested in the next couple of weeks. Already finished the logopack.

Each time I tried to manage Spartans, and when I ran the league without managing a team, the winner of the Lowland League did not appear in the play-off. The second place team did, and naturally lost. I can't see in the rules how this would happen, but it does repeatedly.


Are you running any other update files alongside this one? I'm running another test just now, just to make sure everything is ok. You're the first to notice an issue with the playoffs etc, will try to see if I can help!

EDIT: Just ran a five season test - it's definitely working for me! Try downloading the file again, and replacing it in your "editor data" folder - you may have got the initial file that had an issue for some reason!

When you go Gretna I don't seem to get any real players, in your video I seen a full squad more or less, did you have to add them yourself? Cheers.

Edit: I went Gretna and surprisingly had a 4k wage budget to spend, so with no players other than the fake ones they put in I ended up getting around 20 players for free and picked up a few gems, teams brilliant.


Only the Highland League teams have a decent amount of squad data in FM, so I'd recommend starting the game with the "add players to playable teams" option ticked. Having said that, like you say there are a few good frees floating around! Kean at ST is a great start.

Will you be adding the league with Pollok etc next, think it's the West of Scotland? Cheers.


That's on tap for the next one, yeah! The "superleague" SJFA divisions, North Caledonian League and others potentially.

I know about that Download Now button, but when I click it there is no free download link!


Did the link I put in my previous post work? Weird! I'll ask if someone can have a look and see what's wrong.

EDIT: Added a mirror link. Hope this sorts it out!

Morrissey: I created my own database pretty similar to yours but for some reason prize money will not activate. I have it all set up in advanced rules and it appears to be in "rules" in game but no team receives any prize money at the end of a season. Did u have this issue?


I did initially - it's located under Stages > League, under League Settings in the advanced editor (which works fine in my file). I had initially looked in the wrong place!

There is no dowload link!


"Download Now" is on the right hand side, or click here! Hope that solves any confusion.

Hey folks!

I've just made it to the bottom of the pyramid, the juniors will be next up in my database! The v15.0.2 release this week will include the East of Scotland and South of Scotland Leagues, then I'll hopefully have the main junior leagues done and released before Christmas.

Would it be possible to add or find the other leagues with the likes of Pollok and Rob Roy? cheers.


I intend to eventually add in some junior levels, so I'll get to Pollok and the likes no doubt! Concentrating on the actual pyramid firstly though. Hoping to have the next update out next week, expanding down to include the East of Scotland and South of Scotland Leagues (which now tie in to the Lowland League).

good job, but I'd done an expansion of the Highland and Lowland leagues to 24 teams each so a bigger pool of teams might promote. I was able to merge mine with yours, but I can't get the logos to appear. I created a logos folder, and placed the files in it. Was there something I've missed? I'd love to get that sorted.


Not sure why the logos wouldn't show - if they're in a folder called "graphics" it should work regardless of which database you use? Try re-naming the folder, and then make sure it's in the Football Manager 2015 folder in your documents (sometimes there are two separate folders, one in shared docs).

It's a problem already submitted to SI... they have said "click on OK and it will disappear"


I've worked out a fix for this!

If you use the advanced editor, delete the blank (only the blank) discipline rules under the nation name, and there will be no annoying error messages.
#213978 Testing Needed - New Scottish System
Morrissey

Hey folks,

I'm making good progress on an update to Scotland, allowing the Highland and Lowland leagues to become playable. In case you might not know, this year sees Scotland starting a pyramid system similar to England, opening the trapdoor out of League 2 down to the non-league levels.

Before I go ahead and add some real detail to the file, I need to ask some people to test this out. Run it in the background, or as your main career - up to you. Just need to make sure it continues to function over a 5-10 year spell with different outcomes.

Download the file here! Add it to Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/editor data.

Also, I've created logos for all the Highland and Lowland league clubs which should work in the game. Download these here, and extract them to Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/graphics.

Basically, once I'm happy that this is working as well as possible, I'll add the final details and upload it properly on this website.

Changes Made

- activated Highland and Lowland leagues
- real competition names added
- date range for fixtures accurately mirrored to real life
- promotion playoff between champions of each league (2 legs) inserted on correct dates
- winner of playoff faces bottom team in League 2, as IRL
- cup competitions added (as close to real life as possible inc dates, some "creative changes" required due to editor restrictions)
- relegation from Lowland league to South of Scotland/East of Scotland leagues included
- both Highland and Lowland leagues set to remain regional (as far as possible) with teams moving up and down
- real manager and chairman names added to clubs where possible

Not Changed Yet

- awards to be included
- accurate prize monies to be added
- potential addition of further divisions and levels below
- club specifics (facilities, reputation etc) to be improved

Let me know if you're giving it a go by replying, and thanks in advance for your feedback!
