Sorry for the delay that's fixed now

What's the IronPython scripting console?

Also just tagging @tdg6661 since you mentioned him and I don't know if he's aware of this thread

You don't need to edit our database to move the teams. Just create a new file that does that.

The files are loaded alphanumerically so just make sure it's prefixed with ZZZ or something to make sure it loads last.

This should be fixed and ready for download in about 20 minutes

October 29th Update

Just to set expectations and avoid disappointment editing will definitely not be opened on November 4th. November 11th is a more realistic target date.

This is both personal and technical.

(1) I'm in Australia for a wedding this weekend and then will be jet lagged.

(2) It's taking longer than expected to get all the data out and site updated this year with the introduction of women's.

(3) They keep updating the game and it's not clear what will be updated after November 4th.

Original Post

Just to let everyone know that submissions have been paused due to the release of FM26.

You can still download of course and it should be up to date since there's not alot of transfer activity around the world.

Submissions will of course be returning.

The reason for pausing is because
 

1. We can't start updating FM26 yet because it takes time to extract the data and the data is liable to change before full release on November 4th
2. If we keep submissions open people get confused and make submissions to our FM24 update trying to fix errors in FM26, this creates alot of extra work for moderators.
3. It's nice for everyone involved to have a break and just enjoy the new game.

I realise this might frustrate some people who are not yet playing FM26 and want to keep updating FM24. This will be possible. Please just have some patience it's just 2 weeks and pausing is going to make things so much easier to update the site.

And of course a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all the people who have contributed, over the years 6,620 people have contributed so far and we hit our 1 millionth submission a few months ago, which is insane!

Sorry I can't really advise without more information. What issue are you having? It's just File > Load Data and then locate your files.

@Kinmar So far we've been told by testers

• Only large logos work 512x512 they get automatically converted to the smaller logos
• Nations and Competitions logos don't work together you have to choose one or the other
• Trophy images take priority over competition logos for some reason so you can't have comp logos if you also have the trophy pack

Done 🙂

Sorry we just made some changes to the 3D to accomodate the release of FM26, the kits were also available as part of the SS Kits Pack.

But i've now fixed it so that there are links for the 3D kits available.

You are downloading the right version, we made significant changes to the update a few weeks ago detailed in this blog: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/74544/our-data-update-just-got-a-huge-upgrade 

We removed ID's for newly created players to avoid confusion, the ID's will appear once we know what they are from FM26.

@Sak894 I think you're missing the part about AI, you can manually adjust your training to account for matches, but the AI won't. They claim that this mod fixes that although I haven't been able to verify this myself.

If you're using Steam you can get reset the files this way: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB 

@Egecan Altıntaş  The enhanced update is now called “Live” update you're downloading the correct one.

Can you screenshot your editor data folder? Our update definitely doesn't change the rankings so it's probably another update. Since you're using the no date changes update I assume you are combining it with other files.

It's not currently possible for an existing player

@frei91238 hey sorry that was a temporary bug that was fixed a few hours ago.

Sorry this was a small typo in my part and is fixed now and sorry for not being able to be online sooner to fix it!

All the Fantasy kits from the past 13 years from this thread have now been added to the Fantasy Kits section. As many as possible have been done which amounts to 4728.

Obviously it's possible that some images haven't been properly attributed to the right author, team or brand, but hopefully the mistakes are very minimal.

You can find the last page of the new thread here: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/alternatives/topic/fantasy-kits/last 

It's also much easier to find fantasy kits for a team e.g. there are now nearly 100 Arsenal kits here: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/alternatives/game-item/4737 

I'm now closing this thread can you please switch to using this system 🙂

Only took 15 months but the 3D kits have now been switched out into their own style with their own megapacks.

The latest SS Megapacks still include 3D kits but future ones won't.

It is very probable that this refactor has caused bugs it had been a pretty big task to switch them out. If you encounter anything odd please report it first before trying to manually clean anything up and of course please be as detailed as possible when reporting something 🙂

It seems like pre 2024 most of the images are not in the submission system and still in all the manual packs. I can't remember why this is, I think possibly it was just forgotten by me, I will look into extracting all of these so the historical 3D kits are still available.

Of course just to be clear reason for finally getting this done is because I anticipate SS Kits being compatible with FM26 but 3D kits not being compatible so expect a new 3D style being made available post FM26.

Done 🙂

Please use this thread for discussing extracting and repacking Football Manager's Unity AssetBundles and Addressables.
 

AssetBundles and Addressables are how Unity packages game assets like textures, 2D graphics, UI sprites, audio, data files, and prefabs for distribution. To mod these, you need to extract the bundles using tools like AssetStudio (for viewing and exporting) or UABEA (for editing and repacking). The process involves unpacking the bundle, modifying or replacing the extracted assets, then repacking them while maintaining the correct format, compression, and file structure the game expects.

Please use this thread for discussing creating custom user interfaces for Football Manager now its based in Unity.
 

This is for adding new menus, overlays, and interactive elements to the game. Unity offers several UI systems: IMGUI (Immediate Mode GUI) is quick for debug menus and simple mod interfaces, UGUI (Unity UI) is the standard canvas-based system for more polished interfaces with proper layouts and styling, and UI Toolkit is Unity's newer HTML/CSS-like system. We're still waiting to see what FM26 brings.

Please use this thread for discussing decompiling, reverse engineering and debugging Football Manager's code and assets.
 

Decompiling Unity games lets you extract and read the original C# code to understand how game systems work under the hood. Tools like AssetRipper can extract entire Unity projects including scripts, assets, and scenes, while Il2CppDumper generates dummy DLLs from IL2CPP builds. dnSpy is particularly powerful because it combines decompilation with live debugging - you can set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through the actual game code as it runs. ILSpy and dotPeek are great for quick code browsing and exporting decompiled source. These tools are essential for reverse-engineering game mechanics, finding hidden variables, understanding data structures, and figuring out method signatures for Harmony patches.

Please use this thread for discussing creating and modifying 3D assets for Football Manager mods.

3D asset modding involves extracting meshes, textures, and animations from the game, then editing them in tools like Blender or 3DS Max before importing them back.

Please use this thread for discussing creating Memory Scanning / Cheat Engine tools in Football Manager.

Memory scanning with tools like Cheat Engine is essentially live debugging of a running game's RAM to find and modify data. You search for specific values (like you having £1,234,567 in the bank), change that value in-game, then scan again to narrow down the exact memory address where that data lives. Once you've found important addresses, you can trace what code accesses them to reverse-engineer how game systems work, export database structures, or create mods that hook into those systems.

Please use this thread for discussing utilising IL Injection in Football Manager.

IL (Intermediate Language) is the bytecode that C# compiles down to before being executed by Unity's runtime.

IL injection means inserting or modifying these low-level instructions at runtime to change game behavior without having the original source code. Tools like Harmony let you patch methods by rewriting their IL.

@Gary corbett there were bugs in the system which has only been fixed today. Moderation can now be ramped back up again but please be patient.

This is just a UI bug, it has been cancelled.

That's exactly what I was suggesting, for you to share one of the data sheets, not the final editor file.

I assume you are aware you can use File > Export to export XML. You can just add one history entry and the see then structure of the XML and recreate those XML files for each row from your datasheet.

I'm not sure what other “methods” I can provide. Like I said I have scripts to do it in bulk but they're tightly coupled to the sites CMS. All I could do is create a form for you to upload a CSV (or JSON or anything structured) that then creates the FMF.

Happy to answer any questions you have, but it's hard to offer advice with the vague information you've given so far I don't really understand what the blockers are.

You have to be very careful with this, if you delete a player, the change the order in which they're loaded or combine with other files then the ID's will all change.

I would not suggest adding anything by hand other than the Advanced Rules 😂

Feel free to upload an example, it would help alot with understanding what you're trying to do.
