#672899 FM File Editor
keallu
.NET 5 framework or the application? The application should be pretty self-explainatory when you download it. You can find my examples of of lnc-files here:
https://github.com/keallu/FM-File-Editor/tree/master/Files
These can be opened and edited by the editor.

.lnc files are located and should be saved here if you have the game from Steam:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2021\data\database\db\2111\lnc\all
Notice 2111 depends on which version of the database you wanna use. 2140 is the newest.

So did you get it to work?

So have you downloaded the .NET 5 framework? You should be able to find it here:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0/runtime
Then the application should be able to run. Otherwise please provide me with any error message or such that you get on screen.
#642462 Changing club names in a already saved game file.
keallu
Lnc files are used for this sort of editing, also for already ongoing games. The syntax is rather tedious. I have made a Windows Application for creating lnc files.
You can try it if you want. Just let me know and I will make a zip package for you.
#642041 FM File Editor for Lnc files
keallu
It can be rather tedious to manage Lnc files with name changes, so for myself I have created a small Windows application to easier manage Lnc files. Screen shot below.
Are there any interest in me publishing this for download?
As you can see it currently supports players, clubs, stadiums (where applicable), nations, cities, competitions and awards.
Let me know if there are any interest.
#642040 STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE are not working
keallu
Thanks. I was wondering if that was the case.
#642036 STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE are not working

It's not really a tool but a method. You can read about it here: https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/120967-guide-edt-ddt-and-lnc-files/ and here: https://fullerfm.wordpress.com/2018/12/21/changing-stadium-and-player-names-in-football-manager/. Look for the Lnc part. It has been around for years.
That said I have created my own little tool for editing and creating Lnc files but that's a different story.
#642034 STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE are not working
keallu
Lnc files is a pretty powerful tool already in the game where you can change different names etc. in the game without editors and it is save game compatible and can be added or removed when you like. A lot of real name fixes rely on Lnc files too. It all works fine with commands such as:
"CLUB_NAME_CHANGE" 1106 "Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 1106 "Atalanta" ""
"CLUB_NAME_CHANGE" 2188 "Benevento Calcio" ""
"CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE" 2188 "Benevento" ""
But just not with the STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE command.
#642032 STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE are not working
keallu
STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE does not seem to work in lnc files anymore. I have tried to change Zebre Stadium to Allianz Stadium by:
"STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE" 1209 "Allianz Stadium" ""
and several others but it does not work. Do anyone know if STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE has been obsoleted by SI? I have no problems with CLUB_NAME_CHANGE and CLUB_SHORT_NAME_CHANGE.
I've also read somewhere that "STADIUM_NAME_CHANGE" does not work for Italian stadiums but for all others? Is that true?
