there are two pairs of kits

a pair is named hong kong_
and the other is hongkong_

is there an error?


Noticed this as well. One set is the old kits so it looks as it they have just been added to the .zip file by mistake.

The Away Strip is fine though, so was just wondering if it's possible to fix this at all? Thanks.

Being kind I would say SI and their researches are more concerned with rating the players correctly than whether the team has a 3rd kit or not.

You can technically edit/remove kits during a game now with the in-game editor, but as far as I can tell, that stops these downloaded kits being applied to the team.


Not arguing with that, but you'd still think that they would keep it as accurate as possible in all aspects. I know some things will be higher up on their priority list, but if they have the time to add these 3rd kits into the game then surely it goes the other way around as well.

+ 1 like I said in the RPL thread 99% of the time it isn't the kit-makers fault for not making a 3rd kit for a 2nd division team in Norway the fault lies with SI for not realizing they haven't had one since 2010 or whatever


Very true. I wonder how many teams that are in FM actually DON'T have a 3rd kit in real life yet are put in the game as having one. The 3rd kit showing for those teams should just be taken out by SI. I mean don't they have people who are supposed to research these things?

Can you stop asking about 3rd kits?!
Can you please work and find out the 3rd kit how looks like? Get the images , create a folder e post on WIP or send to me and i will do.
But dont waste our time asking only, be active and get the image.

DO you think is easy get an image for the 3rd kit of Rampla, Rentistas or a minor league??


Thank you for saying this. I had seen a TON of different country folders come up and I thought "How the HELL did I miss all those?!" only to find out I didn't missed anything at all and it was the same thing posted over & over & over about how kit makers hadn't done a bunch of obscure team's 3rd kits.

Anyway, thanks very much for all the hard work to all the kit makers. Makes the game look and feel much better

Club Name Fixes are effected through the dbc files, which are not save game compatible. They will work fine in the full game.


OK thanks Mons. Was just wondering like I say. I knew we had sorted the issue before but was just a general query as to why one set was working but the others weren't, so thanks for answering

Mons, I know that you answered it previously about this file not working with the Demo of FM15, but I just have a question. Is it normal that the Competition Name Fixes DO work for the Demo but not the Club Name Fixes? I mean I have all the Competition names working in my Demo game but the Club names are not sorted, so was just wondering about that.

My apologies, I hadn't quite noticed that you're referring to the demo. I don't have it, but going on past experience, it's a quickstart. Quickstart is akin to a save game, saved just before you are given the option to add the manager. Therefore, any dbc files, including the Club Name Changes file sadly, won't work with the demo. Rest assured they'll be fine with the full game.


OK thank you for your response. I was wondering if it was because I was using the Demo of FM15 and that's why the Long Names were always staying the same as the Short Names (just like my images indicate).

As explained many times, including in the thread text and the installation instructions, club name changes only take effect after starting a new game. Please make sure you install the files correctly, as per the installation instructions, as well.


And I have done all of that.

I have started a brand new game. I have quit the game, started FM15 Demo, clicked on Football Manager and selected Scotland and went through the Profile setup and started a New Game. I have also Loaded my previous Saved Game. It still comes up showing the Club Names haven't been fixed.

The files have been installed correctly. I deleted the edt and lnc folders from Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2015 \ data \ db \ 1500 and moved the edt & lnc folder from the Fixes downloaded ZIP file. I moved the Real Names Fix Files from sortitoutsi.net BETA version folder to where the instructions indicate.

Competition Name Fixes work but the Club Name Fixes don't. I looked on FM14 and it works perfect there but just not in FM15 Demo.

I'm using the Demo version so don't know if that matters, but the short club names are the same as the long names (unless I'm missing something).

I.E.

German clubs list -
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/NSSSpIJMVgMyzO58L5LpssvxteNXQOsAZHF7sFfM.png

Clicked on Dortmund for an example and it still says only Dortmund in the club name at the top of the screen instead of Borussia Dortmund -
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/0SMdlBTz9vZ3SVU0PP7tcCpO2xuaAHg0TpNRbXaN.png

It's the same for other countries like Portugal and Japan.

The Competition names have changed that I can see, but the Club names haven't.

EDIT: In fact actually looking more, it looks like that for every country. I had a look at France and in the Club List, it says PSG, OL, OM etc and when I click on the clubs, it says PSG, OL, and OM in the Club Name at the top of the screen too.

Works Perfect in FM14 but is not working in my FM15 Demo.

Chivas third kit not showing in game...


Edit the config file and for the line that represents Chivas 3rd kit enter /2013 at the end of the code line.

e.g.

<record from="cd_guadalajara_3" to="graphics/pictures/team/1255/kits/third/2013"/>

It should work if you do that because the 3rd kit shows up in my game after doing that

I knew that I just wished there was a way around it :'((((


For what it's worth, it can be changed BUT only to whatever you put the short name as. For instance, in the lnc. file change the short name to whatever the full name of the club is. Take Porto as an example - the short name in the lnc. file is Porto, but to show the full name of Futebol Clube do Porto you need to change the short name from Porto to Futebol Clube do Porto. This will show up as the full club name, but will also show up for the short name too.

Apologies if you've already tried this or knew about this

Johor Darul Takzim away kit did not appear.
Please help.

Thanks!


The Team ID number in the config file that comes in the zip file is wrong. You'll need to change the number in the config file for the shirt to work. The ID in the file is 5624915 but it should be 23195015.

Hope this helps.
