Hi there,

I've  created a 20 team knockout comp based in North Africa where Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia send 5 teams each, Libya, 3 and Mauritania 2. The first round of the comp is competed by 8 teams and I'd like to set it up as follows if possible, the two lowest seeded Algerian teams play each other and the same  for the two lowest seeded Moroccan teams and Tunisian teams. The last tie to be made up by the lowest seeded Libyan team playing the lowest seeded Mauritanian team. The other 12 teams enter in the second round.

I've tinkered with the editor (with seedings and valid cup draws) but whatever I do, I seem to get 5 Tunisian teams and 3 Moroccan teams in the first round.

Any help setting this up will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

Cheers.

Hi there, I created a 4 team (2 Belgian, 2 Dutch) pre season competition with the advanced rules. When It is loaded, it messes up the fixture schedules in Belgium, creating a fixture congestion in January whilst almost not scheduling any fixtures for November and December (2 in Nov, 0 in Dec). I know there is a mid winter break from 26/12 to 16/01. Any help to fix this would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers.

@FatherTed  Thanks for the reply and info. Cheers.

@kingrobbo  Thanks for your reply, my bad explaining and posting the wrong screenshot. I meant to ask that Gibraltar, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales also need to be amended and the 2 agreements added to these nations information tab

@mons  Thanks, I'll give it a go following your file. I'm sure I'll learn something (else) along the way too. Once again thanks for your help and your invaluable explanations. Cheers.

@kingrobbo  Hi there,

First of all, thank you for your files and your posts and explanations re the advanced editor.

With the Brexit rule, could you let me know if these need to be activated in the advanced editor too, please?

Cheers.

@mons  Thank you for your reply, files and explanations. As it's just a fantasy league and not a recreating a real format, I think I just might try to do a simple workaround (I might just set up a one year, one off qualifying tournament, if that's at all possible). I'm going to investigate…

Once again, thank you for your reply and help.

Cheers

PD: Slightly off topic, do you know if there is a ‘guide’ to the Advanced Rules editor? (I know kingrobbo did a post which was really helpful)

Hi there,

I'm trying to do the following in the advanced editor, I have looked but can't seem to figure out where to set this up

I'm trying to prevent a league from relegating a team for just one season, the first in the game in other words (2021-22)

Division 1 (has 11 teams), Division 2 (has 13 teams), ideally I would like Division 2 to promote 1 team to division 1 in the first year only (no relegation from Division 1), so that both divisions have 12 teams each from the second season onwards; and then set up so that Division 1 has 1 relegation to Division 2 and Division 2 has 1 promotion to Division 1. I hope I've made myself clear; any help to achieve would be really appreciated. Cheers.

@Patres10  Yes, all working well now. Thanking you very much.

Hi there,

I've tried to install the default FC12 kits and I'm getting the kits superimposed over the game's default kits (as per screenshot).

Am I missing a step in the installation procedure to get rid of the game's default kits, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi there,

I'm trying to recreate a semi accurate Thailand league. I'm getting the following error, and I can't seem to find the solution.

Any help from any expert editor would be really appreciated.

Thanking you in advance

Hi there,

Sorted!

Hi there,

I'm trying to set up the following in the advanced rules of the editor and I'm not too sure where to look and activate the following:

I have 2 groups of 8 teams and I'd like to set that all teams play home and away in their respective group and 1 match with all the other teams from the other group. Is this at all possible? I would be very grateful for any help to achieve this, please. Thanking the community in advance.

@Daveincid  Hope you're better soon after a well deserved rest. Thank you for all your files making FM mor realistic and enjoyable.

Hi there, the FAQs are here:

https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57138/how-to-access-advanced-rules

About half way down the page you'll see How to view continental/international rules

Just follow this guide and you should be good to go

@Drowsy Football  Just to confirm that these files work on a Mac, is it possible that they were installed in the wrong directory?

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a simple 4 team preseason knockout competition involving the winners of both Belgian and Dutch Leagues and Cups, where the winner of the Belgian league plays the winner of the the Dutch cup and the other way round for the other semi final. When I try to verify my file it gives me this error (screenshot 1). I have included 3 other screenshots to show the number of teams taking part; and to avoid potential problems the runners-up of both cups can take part if need be (as in screenshot 4). 

I would be very grateful if anybody could point out the error(s) made in my setup, please.

Thanking the community in advance.

@kingrobbo 

Once again, thanks for your help.

Hi there,

I'm trying to edit the maximum numbers of teams taking part in a knockout competition (in the editor it is set at max 512 at the moment).

I remember doing this some years ago with the game's resource archiver and using a notepad app to change the value but I don't remember the steps to do that. Would anybody be kind enough to walk me through said steps, please?

Thanking the community in advance.

@kingrobbo 

Thanks, I look forward to that file when it's available. Cheers.

@kingrobbo 

Thanks for letting me know about the AFCON and Euros, I've checked and they are both running ok. Is your 64 team World Cup available to download at all anywhere? Once again thanks for your help, appreciate it.

@kingrobbo 

I've cracked it! I've holidayed through the 2022 World Cup and it works. Thank you very much for your explanations and help.

@kingrobbo 

Thanks for your answer and sorry about the tagging, I thought I had!

Here's a screenshot of my editor. I'm sure it's here I go down the wrong path as I directly edit the subs rule for both World Cup File from here. Would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction, please? Also, If I were to change the subs rules (and only that) for the qualifiers, would I have to redo the whole qualifying or can I just edit it one at the time by confederation? Cheers.

@kingrobbo,

Thanks for your answer and the explanations. I didn't realise that I had to redo the whole World Cup Qualifiers, UEFA Euros and AFCON just to be able to change the subs rule in the final tournament! All I wanted was to increase the number of substitutes used in the current (32 team) and the forthcoming (48 team) format. I wanted to change it from 3 from 12 to 5 from 12 in both instances, and that's all! I don't even want to touch anything else (ie increasing number of participants, prize money etc…). It's a pity that a simple change like that requires rewriting the whole qualification process! Once again thank you for your help.

Hi kingrobbo,

Thanks for your answer. I redid my file, carefully following all your steps but I'm still doing something wrong because when I open the game the World Cup has completely disappeared! The qualifiers are still there as I haven't touched them but the final tournament si no longer there. 

Hi there,

I'm trying to change the substitutes rules for both World Cup Files (32 and 48 team) present in the game following 

https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57138/how-to-access-advanced-rules. When it comes to testing, I come across the following message ‘No division levels found to test’. Could anyone be kind enough to take a look at my file  and let me know where I went wrong, please?

Thanking the community in advance,

Cheers

@kingrobbo . Thank you for the file.

@mons . Thank you very much for your very clear explanations. I will follow them over the weekend and report.

Again, cheers for your help.

Hi there, 

I'm trying to do the following via the advanced editor (sorry, I haven't used it that much and I'm not too familiar with it):

I'd like to keep the current substitution rule for English Prem League (3 from 7) for the 21-22 season but

change it to (5 from 9-3 stoppages) for the 22-23 and onwards season. Is that at all possible?

Thanking the community in advance for any help possible.

Cheers
