There is no definitive list, as the pack was initially created by majestic using her own sources and an amalgamation of various smaller packs. NIk33 also had a pack and I added England and Scotland so too many different packs coming together and the sheer scale of 4000 plus sources meant that there was no single directory outwith the editor. I have a file with almost all of England and Scotland but not Dutch. There are a number of Dutch sources in the file though. 

If you have an excel list or just a list here I don't mind checking for you. In time, and maybe by FM23 there could be a shareable directory to help but we are working in reverse to an extent.

It might be quicker to load the game and use the search bar there though. RTV is in, with various regional versions, so are omprop and omroep. Guess those ar obvious ones though.

Brilliant. Take a look at Niks file when it is released, as it covers many, many nations. If you see that the Czech sources need updated, please PM me and in any future update I will get them in with the journalists (if SI fix the issue with the FM22 editor). In that way you can get the worldwide file with the press you know too. I think Nik33 is going to open a thread somewhere to try to keep the file up to date. 

Yeah, It kills off any desire to put the hours in. However, the conversion from FM21 (less some of the other issues conversion can bring) might alleviate it for something like what jrdra describes if he had them in his FM21 file. The conversion definitely brought over people from FM21 who are successfully appearing in game on FM22, whereas anyone created from scratch in the FM22 editor isn't appearing even if present in the new file. 

Open FM21 editor and load your file. Export the file as an XML file. Open FM22 editor, import the XML file. Then save as an FMF file. Place it in the editor folder as normal and load, and see if it works. However, you will need to make sure that the new ‘Attends Press Conferences’ box within the media source profile is ticked for the sources that you want to attend press conferences. When you import it over, they may all be unticked as this is a new feature this year. 

If you have an FM21 file, and know how to convert it for use within the FM22 editor, then it should work that way. However, when doing that it can cause an issue because all media sources default to not attend press conferences. So if in FM21 you had any czech media, they would all be missing from press conferences even if you have them in the file. You can bulk edit the ones you want using CTRL-A and then ticking the ‘attends press conferences’ box in their media source profile. 

There are also a few other bugs with media and bookmakers this year, particularly around scope. In the file Nik is putting out there are around 100 bookmakers, but none worked initially. To get them working you need to set scope to competition and then specify the actual competitions they will cover in that part of their profile. Also still getting the odd issue with random press not assigned to a league reporting regularly (e.g. for some reason, L'Equipe are reporting on loan deals at Scottish level 7). SI are aware of those bugs though. 

Thankfully, in the file I mentioned that Nik33 is releasing, 99% of journalists were in the FM21 master which was converted, so they do appear in game. Only a very small number don't show and those are the ones added in using the FM22 editor. Issues with random allocation of sources are the exception rather than the rule.

Frankj, there is a massive media update out in the next few days from Nik33. It is a collaboration with majesticeternity and I. UK is covered extensively, including Scotland all the way down to lower league Scottish coverage. Hundreds of journalists too. Think there are 4500+ media sources all in, and for the UK part alone, at least 450 journalists/pundits.  Around 100 bookmakers from all over the world too, and based on research as to which bookmakers are used in each nation. 

Here is a screenshot which shows a Celtic press conference v Man Utd in Champions League with some journalists, as well as the Daily Record, Clyde Superscoreboard and Sky Sports Scotland profiles which show those journalists appearing in game (they do work in game for press conferences and interviews). Also attached is a screenshot of the press conference for a domestic game v Livingston.  There are so many journalists and sources that they don't all attend every press conference, which is better and more realistic, so if playing as LIverpool, you might get BT Sport at one, but not the next etc. 

A good addition this year has been the ability to not send all sources to press conferences, so for Celtic, things like The Cynic (albeit in game they go to press conferences as they do in real life) and Celtic Fans TV are in there but mainly on news feeds and social media. Same for Rangers, Hibs etc. In England, AFTV, 7500 to Holte etc. are in too as well as casual coverage sources (e.g. JOE) and all the big name media and pundits/journalists.

I found an error with the editor in that if you duplicate a person and then change name etc. they don't show in game. It is either that, or anyone created within the editor from FM22 doesn't show (as the majority were in a file converted from FM21). If you would rather make your own, then creating new people without using duplicate might be best.  There is an error with newly created people in the FM22 editor, and SI are trying to fix it. Best bet is the big update Nik33 will release soon or to export as XML from FM21 editor, import XML file in FM22 editor, save as FMF and try that. 

The media module SI created is not perfect, and even with the brilliant update, it can throw up the odd anomaly as to which source reports on which competition, but so far when testing, the overwhelming majority are working very well. Might be easiest to wait a few days until it is released to save you time. 

Once it is out, if you think any are missing then send a PM as hopefully it will be something we can keep working on with updates etc. 

Thanks for the work behind scenes on this, I know the file in any form was not in the overnight update, is it likely to be back in the version that comes out overnight tonight?

Hi, 

Thanks for the work on the update, it is brilliant as always. Just a quick question on the fmf file with Derby and Reading points deduction. Is there a way to get the file that deducts points but leaves Brexit as is? In terms of realism, I understand the points deduction file and also appreciate that some users might not want Brexit activated, but it seems the two are tied together with that file, which then takes the choice away in terms of reality v preference. Is there one without Brexit being deactivated?

Hi Lembergman, 

Can I request the following Celtic players, please?

Joe Hart - 5119142

James McCarthy - 61002273

Tom Rogic - 15020738

Nir Bitton - 42009400

Cameron Carter Vickers - 28100767

Giorgos Giakoumakis - 36077389

Thanks

Hi Kingrobbo, I don't know! Maybe she is, which would be great. It is majestic's call on the file sharing part. 

Which file Robbo? The league mod is Mozzas file within his Steam profile. The media file is managed by majesticeternity but I have been doing a lot of work with her on it (UK media). 

It seems that FM22 is broken a bit in terms of Media compared to last year, so I am fine tuning. I can ask majestic if she would be happy to share here once we get it to a point that it can go out, but while I have covered UK as part of the project, majestic has gathered packs and released it for past few years, so I am a lead contributor rather than the owner (majesticeternity). 

There are about 4800 additional media sources and hundreds of journalists in it. 

Here is an example of a press conference with Celtic. You might need to follow Scottish football to recognise the press. Press Conferences seem to be working well but news feeds are a bit messy (this is where it seems broken). In news feeds 75% of press appearing make sense and add realism, but 25% do the opposite and seem odd.

Jamie, it is already out. When in steam go to the FM22 Workshop and search for ‘Mozza’ . Full FM22 Scottish pyramid is there. In addition, I am working on a collaboration with a user on SIgames (majestic) in terms of media and have loads of local press in, so likes of the Hamilton Advertiser would cover Larkhall Thistle (if you know of any other local sources send me a PM). When the media file is out I will PM you

You have the editor data folder in the wrong place. It doesn't go in the ‘Common’ folder or anywhere near the SteamApps folder. The editor data folder is usually located in your documents folder which is step 5 in the instructions:

STEP 5
PASTE to \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2022\editor data

Documents will usually be within your C: drive (or equivalent if you don't use C: as the default. 

Hi Mons, 

Thanks for this brilliant work. Just an observation that might be relevant to your media file. I have also worked on media files for FM21 and when porting to FM22 I noticed that while media I have added will appear in game (news items), they were not attending press conferences. When I checked the editor, FM22 now has an option called ‘Attends Press Conferences’. It is not ticked by default, which means I need to now go back through the media I added for Scotland and England and manually tick the box for each record. Not sure if it impacts your editor file, but if you want any media to go to press conferences, they won't by default due to the change in editor. Just thought to raise in case it slips under the radar. Apologies if not relevant to your editor file for media. Thanks.

PoF, I think what Rab has done with this update is release competitions and only clubs from some nations. If you look above, you can see that he is working through all English clubs, and that club specific adds will then follow in later versions of the patch. This is because he is re-writing the config file (so not the same as FM21 version) and adding/removing/updating ads for all English clubs including Man Utd. Once the club update is released it should work for Man Utd, (I think).

Thanks for these

It is a commemorative home kit for this season. Looks like their normal home kit is their away kit this year. Probably back to normal next season.

Thanks Frank, brilliant

These kits are brilliant, anyone covering Scotland? I understand if not given sheer volume of work already queued

Hi priority,

Is the Rangers third in the pack? I know it is within the config but the file isn't there. Thanks again for time taken.

Cheers

It might be because for a while (and possibly still now) the update link that you get if you click on the green ‘download’ on the sortitoutsi homepage is an old one, but if you click on ‘View Data Update’ and then click on the green link on that page that says ‘Download Data Update’ you will get the most recent version. 

Hi Rab,

Having a strange issue when playing in the SPL. When I play Aberdeen away, it always shows the Celtic static boards. Doesn't happen with any other away games. Then went to see Aberdeen playing other teams at home and get Celtic boards too. Using club xml, but from what I could see it looked fine.

Thanks

Would it be possible to create Celtic home and third kits please?

Thanks

@priority76 Celtic has released their home kit, images as promised. Thanks

Hi, 

Would anyone be able to create the Celtic Away and Third tops for next season please?

Thanks

Amazing work Rab, does this mean the next update is on the horizon?

Hi Priority, thanks for taking the time to do this. No home kit yet, I will post images as soon as it is released. Much appreciated as always. 

Hi, 

Would it be possible to create the new Celtic Third Kit, images taken from official Celtic site. Bit of a strange colour combination!

Badge is slightly different colour wise, with a bit of internal white by the looks of things.

Thanks.

Hi Dazs, 

Would it be possible to create an update to Celtic to match the new background they are using? I have attached all logos apart from the fact that under the Celtic badge it now says celticfc.com in green text. There is also a centre piece logo which I have attached too. 

I understand if not possible as there is already a Celtic one in the pack. Thanks
