Are your under 18s in a competition? 

 

There's always the possibility it's hardcoded. I mean if I had it my way I'd start a development club in career mode (similar to II teams or Watford Developmental in the women's game) but yeah. If they're in any competitions try removing them, otherwise it's probably hardcoded

are you still looking for fm12? It was my first fm so I think I still have it on steam

 

I sorted the main bit. I just needed the DB files that had the winter update. (1220) I don't think there's much change in any of the other update versions that came with it.

If they edit the same competition data you can't use two files. The only way around it is creating a new .fmf file and essentially copying absolutely everything you want to use other to the new file. So pick one version of the first three divisions, and then take whatever else you want to take, but beware if both include created assets (clubs etc.) UIDs won't line up

Actually the regular portrait folder (faces) had 1.4M files while the iconfaces folder had a lil over 500K

 

Do you have the actual torrent file? I've got premium on here so it's just instant download but I'll download the torrent if you can link me?

Yeah when u download the entire megapack via torrent it has 1.8M files so idk why their thumbnail says 500K images. Took me like 4 hours just to extract it.

 

Oh actually yes it does make sense

Regular portrait, icon and @2x icon

TBF I've never done the torrent, only direct link so that's pretty interesting.

I need one like this for A.C Milan, the megapack having 1.8M files is actually ridiculous. And it doesn't separate the men's face pack from the women's either smh.

 

1.8m? O.o

Hello does anyone know why the goalkeepers have no sponsor on their shirts ?

 

Goalkeeper kits are coded differently in-game. It's stupid, but it's also why none of the kitpacks include them

I’m currently working on a large-scale Football Manager data and preservation project. I’ve managed to curate most of the historical data I need, but the one thing I’m struggling to find is the FM12 winter update database (12.2.0).

 

Unfortunately I only started playing FM properly around FM24, so I don’t personally have access to older patched installs through Steam.

To be clear, I’m not asking for a copy of the game or anything piracy-related — I’m specifically trying to locate the relevant editor/database files for research and archival purposes as part of the project.

 

If anyone happens to still have an old FM12 installation with the 12.2.0 winter update installed, or happens to have archived the relevant data files, I’d really appreciate hearing from you.

 

Admins: if this type of post isn’t allowed, please feel free to remove it and I apologise in advance.

 

Thanks!

Resolved and no longer required. Thank you

I know some people still play the older FM Games for nostalgia and things like that. I am just wondering if there's anyone here specifically that still plays FM12 or FM16?

Sorry I was doing something wrong, so this post can be deleted / ignored.

 

I used the Real Name Fix for FM26 instead of FM24, changed back and all is well.

 

Python is your best bet for bulk editing or using one of the config tools. I had to script it because I had bulk changes to make after the update.

Yes, but if you notice, I put the 'r'.

I put it in the .png filename.
And I also put it in the config.xml file.
See my images, where am I going wrong?

 

Oh my bad, only read the top bit.

@V4MCJ-Br for anyone you create you need to put an r in front of the code in the config e.g.

person/r-2002042501/portrait

 

if you don't have the r- it won't work.

After an enjoyable start with FM26 (rescuing a rudderless Huddersfield from relegation), my pesky real life family and job got in the way and I fell out of the game. 

 

Now I'm back, and have freshly reinstalled version 26.3.0 and I'm raring to go. I've got a bit of time over the next few days to get the game nodded before I jump in again.

 

I normally get the real name fix, a big facepack, badges, trophies etc, but I've yet to use FMMloader (or a similar mod manager) and I like the look of Bassyboy's stadia. Skins too. 

 

I've got a pretty powerful laptop and usually go with a large database (over 100,000 players). 

 

So I know this will be subjective, but my question is: 

 

What mods would you suggest I install? 

What are the must-haves? 

 

Maybe get the English DB down to level 11, get all of the kitpacks and logos from whatever style you like to use along with the facepacks and then just think about the kind of game you know you enjoy playing, if you're limited in what you can use. If you want to go a bit further then there's a megapack floating around on this site that has provided edited DBs for most countries in the game so that will expand things a lot, but haven't tested it myself so can't personally speak of the quality/accuracy of it but other people seem to like it. Other than that just enjoy the game.

Staff feel free to delete if not allowed - would anyone who still happens to have it be willing to send over the db files for FM16? By this I mean the 1600, 1620, 1630 folders or whatever they're listed as?

Like I said if this isn't ok, please delete the post, otherwise if anyone's willing please either upload here or drop me a message.

 

Thanks

Apologies if there are any errors currently. Have done this on zero sleep. I will recheck once I've slept, but I think they're right at the moment.

Updated both files to correct a couple of errors from the original submission.
