#822694 Best way to create a new Scottish league structure

I'm getting bored of playing in Scotland in the current league setup, and want to create my own vision of how it should be:

 

16 team Premier League - each team plays each other home and away, bottom two teams automatically relegated, third bottom into playoff with third-placed team in Championship. No split.

 

16 team Championship - each team plays each other home and away, winners and second place promoted, third place into playoff with third bottom of Premier League, bottom two teams automatically relegated, third bottom into playoff with third-placed team in League 1.

 

16 team League 1 - each team plays each other home and away, winners and second place promoted, third place into playoff with third bottom of Championship, bottom two teams automatically relegated to Highland/Lowland League.

 

Highland/Lowland - no change to structure, promotions into the leagues or relegation from them, but top of each league automatically promoted to League 1.

Scottish Cup - no change.

 

League Cup - Bottom six teams from previous year's Premier League; all Championship and League 1 clubs; two sides relegated from League 1 the previous year. 10 groups of four, seeded into four pots of 10 by previous year's league finish. Group winners progress to last 16, joined by top six from previous year's Premier League, at which stage the competition is s straight, unseeded knockout.

 

Challenge Cup - All teams in Championship and League 1. No foreign clubs. Straight unseeded knockout competition.

 

I've never attempted anything like this in the editor before. Is it easier to attempt to modify the existing Scottish Leagues and cups, or to create new ones and replace the current setup? Any advice I need to bear in mind before starting?

Is it possible to edit the player shirt backgrounds to avoid an issue when there's a white on white clash?

 

I'd just like to add a black border to the text if that's something I can tweak myself?

#384156 Asked To Reinstall FM17

Anyone ever been asked to reinstall FM17 for no apparent reason?

Played last night, saved as normal. Shut down computer as normal.

Double clicked my desktop shortcut to FM17 this evening and I'm asked to reinstall (and redownload) the game. Clicking through to Steam does the same, showing it needs to be installed.

Any advice?
#361663 Player age in blue text

Has anyone else had a problem where the font for the player's age on the player profile screen is blue, making it impossible to read on the dark background?

It's started doing it on my current save. If I click onto another tab on the player profile, like history, then back onto the main profile page, the text is back to white.

Default skin, only changes I've made are adding logo, kit and facepacks downloaded from sortitoutsi. Reloading the skin doesn't fix the problem.

What operating system are you using? E.g. mac/windows

What browser are you using e.g: Chrome/Firefox/Opera

Does it always stop on the same file size, if so what is the exact size in bytes?

In your downloads you should see something like files1.sortitoutsi.net?key=12345 what does it say?


Got round it by using the torrent instead of the direct link, torrent worked first time.

Thanks for the help though.

I'm afraid it looks like the file isn't downloading fully; it should be over 8GB. Perhaps you can use a download manager to ensure the download is resumed if it stops halfway through?


I'm not sure what's happening. I've now tried to download the file four times. The best it manages is around 5GB. Used a download manager the last two attempts, get the error message "File changed on remote server" then the download stops.

I'm trying to download the Megpack, version 9.01.

The download appears to finish, but it's only a 2.1GB file that appears to have downloaded, and when I open it I get message saying "Unexpected end of archive".

Am I doing something wrong?

#72552 Keep National Logos But Use Flags For Players?

Cheers - that didn't quite work, but I did what you said above with Nations -> Medium and that removed the national team emblems from the players. It also removed them from the national squad screens, but I suppose I'll just have to live with that.

I've downloaded the metallic logos pack, excellent work guys.

Is there a way to have the national federation logos appear for the national teams, but have the players' nationalities on their profile screens be represented by their national flags?

What would I have to change or delete to make that happen?
