#471917 FM19 Adboard Patch - EPL Update Part 2 Out Now!
Tommy Hughes
I believe the ads from folder "default" are used in friendly matches.
#471496 Where to meet local singles?
Tommy Hughes
First off, congratulations on your first ever posting on SortitoutSI. How about that! Yay!
You know, since this is a Football Manager-related web site, I take it your post actually means "How to find the best Free Agents in Football Manager?"
Well, you're in luck, buddy! There are helpful shortlists and instructions on how to use the attribute search feature to optimize your search results.
Also, there are many helpful people on the forum (like me!
Ok, don't be a stranger now. Bye!
P.S. I'm certainly feeling something this Friday night. I wouldn't exactly call it "being frisky", but rather having an itch that only playing Football Manager can scratch. So, game on!
#470732 Gozo Kits 2018/19
Tommy Hughes
Apparently they do have a national team of their own, but it's an unofficial one. By the way, the population of Gozo is 30 000, so mathematiclly almost 1% of all Gozoans(?) are players in their football league.
#470730 Gozo Kits 2018/19
Tommy Hughes
I was wondering about this as well. I had never heard of it, but found this:
"The Gozo Football League is a football competition for clubs on the Maltese island of Gozo." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gozo_Football_League)
I wonder whether any Database maker (Claassen, Timo etc.) has actually made the Gozo league(s) available to manage in?
#469826 Custom Start Date Error
Tommy Hughes
England - English Premier Division
England - Sky Bet Championship
France - Ligue 1 Conforama
Germany - Bundesliga
Holland - Eredivisie
Italy - Italian Serie A
Portugal - Liga NOS
Spain - Spanish First Division
Also, I believe English League One and League Two were included last year and I would love it if they were included as well...
#469113 You can play an old FM with current database?
Tommy Hughes
The only way would be to create a whole new database for the older FM that includes the latest clubs, players, staff etc. and that would take ages.
Unfortunately, I havent heard of any kind of converting mechanism or application that could be used to get the job done easily.

Must be a very recent issue. I was able to download it maybe 3 or 4 days ago.

#466748 2018/19 Barclays Premier League
Tommy Hughes
I'm a keeper myself, so I'm looking at it through the keepers' union goggles, and yet I don't see a clear foul there. Sure, Boly's hands were on Dubravka's shoulders, but it looked to me like Boly jumped first instead of blatantly pulling or pushing Dubravka down, thus stealing the keeper's momentum so he couldn't jump for it. Also, when I saw the cross come in I thought straight away he should punch it and not try to collect it. Boly had the height advantage plus the advantage given by running forward towards the ball and then jumping, so the back-pedaling keeper really should've fisted it away. I believe that's the very point Lascelles was making to Dubravka right after the goal.
Having said all that, I'm a rather short amateur keeper and that does affect my risk-assessment (and tendency to punch) in high aerial balls.
I do feel for Dubravka and the Magpies in any case. It was a good spirited fight right up to the last unlucky moments.

Real Madrid and Barcelona play in the highest level of Spanish club football. League 1-2-3 is the second highest one.

#462140 FM19 Adboard Patch - EPL Update Part 2 Out Now!
Tommy Hughes
Hi Emba!
I have found one folder in the FM19 1.0 Adboard Patch being out of place and that affects the friendly match adboards in particular.
Check out the location of your adboard graphics folder named "default".
If it's here----> \graphics\pics\ads\europe\default
then move it here----------> \graphics\pics\ads\default
As soon as I moved the \default\ folder out of the \europe\ folder, the ads for friendly matches started working again.
#461337 Sweden - Allsvenskan SS'2018 Relink! (05/01/19)
Tommy Hughes
Hi!
I'm super grateful for the updated kit packs and the SSKCC file. Now, I don't mean to be impatient or trouble you, but I suspect the MediaFire link to this Sweden - Allsvenskan SS'2018 download as well as to Spain - Liga 1-2-3 SS2018-19 are somehow broken. I've seen it happen before and I believe it's an issue on their end. The other, more recent, kit uploads are working fine, but these two I just cannot seem to download. The MediaFire page just states they're still uploading and will be ready "soon".
Thanks and happy New Year 2019!

#459449 FM19 Adboard Patch - EPL Update Part 2 Out Now!
Tommy Hughes
Hi! I wrote this earlier in this same thread, when I found one folder in the FM19 1.0 Adboard Patch being out of place:
"I installed the new FM19 1.0 Adboard Patch and noticed the Ads were working otherwise, but the game reverted back to default ads when my team was playing a friendly match. Then I noticed the graphics\... \default\ folder is in a wrong place.
According to fm.xml (either "no club" or "club" one) it should be here----> \graphics\pics\ads\default
and in the new Adboard Patch it's placed here----> \graphics\pics\ads\europe\default
As soon as I moved the \default\ folder out of the \europe\ folder, the ads for friendly matches started working again.
Just wanted to inform this in case someone else is having the same issue and wondering why that is."

Oh, sorry 'bout that. I misread the question as "Is this the same patch that was just posted on the SortitoutSI forums a few days ago?" and gave a wrong reply.
My mistake.

#458290 FC'12 Style 2D Kits Seasons23/26 for Flutskin - Titlebar/Player Overview Pack v.123
Tommy Hughes
There must be a config.xml in your (the following is an example of a possible folder structure!) \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\graphics\logos\5 2DKitsasleftlogos\Europe\Romania\ folder that lists all the kits, so you must copy a config.xml file from another folder, paste it into your folder with the Romanian kits and replace the kit names with the names of your Romanian kits as well as the club IDs with your Romanian club IDs and I believe it should start working.
example:
Copy the config.xml from Europe\Russia\Premier League\ into your Europe\Romania\
EDIT the config.xml in Notepad.
Change these Russian club kit names and ID numbers to match your Romanian club kit names and IDs:
<list id="maps">
<!-- Created by Patres10 from FM Slovakia (visit fmslovakia.com) -->
<record from="akhmat_1" to="graphics/pictures/club/58137861/logo/background/left"/>
<record from="akhmat_2" to="graphics/pictures/club/58137861/"/>
<record from="akhmat_3" to="graphics/pictures/club/58137861/"/>
EDIT INTO: (For example)
<list id="maps">
<record from="astra1" to="graphics/pictures/club/57110823/logo/background/left"/>
<record from="astra2" to="graphics/pictures/club/57110823/"/>
<record from="astra3" to="graphics/pictures/club/57110823/"/>
... and so on...
Hopefully this helps!

P.S. Amazing adboards by the way, I'm absolutely loving them! Having the FM19 default ones pop up, even though it was just in a rather meaningless friendly match, made a ton of difference in the immersion and made me appreciate your work even more.

The creator of the Ad Pack have removed the download link while they're fine-tuning the rotation of the video ads. It will be back up later.
#457748 3D 18/19 Download Pack update thread
Tommy Hughes
SI changed the 3D kit layout after FM17, so FM18 & FM19 use the same new 3D kit layout, and therefore the kits for 18 & 19 are compatible.
#457461 FM 2019 - Stadium Images
Tommy Hughes
I've been looking for the same exact thing!
So far I've checked the following skins: "Google Light Skin for FM19" & "TCS'19 skin for FM19" but to no avail...
Also, has anyone found a way to remove the top section of the UI in FM19 or make it nearly transparent, so that the top of the screen wouldn't block and cover up a big part of the top portion of each background image? I've been digging through the Fm19 files and some skins' config files but haven't found anything yet.
#457320 Custom Start Date for FM19..
Tommy Hughes
I noticed you discussing custom skins.
I've been looking for a skin for FM19 that would support both stadium backgrounds and small (420 x 240 I believe) stadium pictures. Would you happen to know something like that - or how to edit the small stadium pictures visible in the basic FM19 skin?
Cheers!

There seems to be a small issue, though, as it won't let me download, saying there are no free mirrors.
Would it be possible to upload it to Mega.nz? It has worked a charm for large files in the past. If not, then Mediafire would be my personally next preferred download source, because it doesn't intentionally slow down the download process into a crawl . Thirdly, a torrent file would be great as well.
Cheers!

Hi!
Crimea (Nation) ID is 215446
Crimea Premier League ID is 71093597
Crimea Lower League ID is 71088573
You can find the ID's when you browse Sortitoutsi.net ----> Data Update ------> DB Search (with a magnifying glass icon next to it) ------> choose Nations & write Crimea.
(I'm not sure how well it works on a smartphone though, because I have only used it on my computer's web browser.)
#456537 Fez Pitch Textures V2
Tommy Hughes
Hey, check this out!
I learned that simatchviewer-pc.fmf in the fm 2019\data\ folder is where the pitch textures are located. So I started up the FM Archiver tool, which is a free tool you can download and use in Steam. In the archiver I browsed simatchviewer-pc.fmf and found many interesting folders and filenames and most of the files are .dds files, which can be opened via an andanced graphical editing software, such as photoshop - or in my case, the freely downloadable Paint.net.
I used the Archiver Tool's extract archive command to unpack the simatchviewer-pc.fmf and then I made my way into the folder structure.
For now, I was most interested in the sub-folders named clay, damp, dry, frozen, gravel, hard, muddy, patterns, perfect, sand, synthetic, water logged... in \simatchviewer-pc\textures\pitch\, which all had one file in them, named grass_01.dds. Each file has a different pitch texture picture in it, depending on weather and pitch condition and material. The weather the match is played in is supposed to trigger a specific version of grass_01.dds to be used in the match engine.
I opened this file into Paint.net: \simatchviewer-pc\textures\pitch\frozen\grass_01.dds and saw a green patch of pitch with frost on it.
Now, people have been demanding some frost or snow on the pitch for those winter-time matches in Russia etc. but there clearly is some white sprinkle to be seen on this green patch of grass I'm looking at. So what's the problem? Well, my theory is that the amount of frost in this pitch version (\simatchviewer-pc\textures\pitch\frozen\grass_01.dds) is too low for he player to see. If we were to make it better by editing the picture, repacking the pic back into the simatchviewer-pc.fmf archive, I wonder...
One basic problem I'm having is that I don't know what portion of the football pitch a single patch of grass like grass_01.dds or your detail_grass_1.dds represents. If we knew that, then it would be easier to "sprinkle" the right amount of snow on the pitch so that it would be nice and visible, but not over the top.
In any case, I believe we're onto something!
EDIT:
Hold on, I just realised that the frozen folder might only apply to a match that is in danger of being cancelled due to the pitch freezing too much - kind of like the waterlogged one. There's no other snow-related folder name in the \simatchviewer-pc\textures\pitch\ that I can see, and that could be the biggest obstacle we're facing here. If Sports Irteractive only considered the most extreme weather variations and nothing much in between, it might be impossible to trigger certain type of grass_01.dds during a match where some snowfall is forecast.
#456513 Fez Pitch Textures V2
Tommy Hughes
Thanks for the quick reply!
It would be really nice to add that bid of realism,so I'll keep looking. One way I can think of is to create snowy versions of pitch textures and then place them in the folder whenever you have a match coming up that is sure to be played under wintry conditions.
Thanks for your help and for the awesome textures!
#456509 Fez Pitch Textures V2
Tommy Hughes
If I knew how the pitch textures in the match engine work and how they're defined in relation to the in-match weather conditions, I could try and create something on my own. That is, of coursse, unless someone more talented is willing to give it a try...
Thanks!
