#338734 FM2016 Real Names and German National Team Fix File v3.2 for FM16.3.1 [07/04/2016]
finalthrd
I edited the wording in my last post a bit if you want to take another look. More or less the same thing.
If you actually want to test this, try to change the Chinese Super League short name [currently "CSL"] through the lnc. I ended up having to create a small .dbc fix and edit the lnc to make it take effect, neither on its own would do the job. Has to be a weird conflicting file or caching bug, like I said.
Again, no rush. Doesn't really matter to me now, I'm just a perfectionist and like to report things that seem out of whack.

1. Okay, I'm not going crazy then! Good to hear.
2. I think you're right. I just edited the comp names lnc to make the "Barclays Premier League" long name simply "Premier League" and the changes immediately took effect. For what it's worth, I had issues getting lnc changes to work in Malta, the Faroe Islands and China if I recall correctly.
Ex: I changed the lnc short name of the Chinese Super League from "CSL" to "CFA Super League" just out of preference. From that point on, the game recognized the short name as "Super League", which I'm assuming is the database default. I went against my general rule of changing comp names anywhere but the lnc file and created a quick .dbc to fix the name which worked a treat.
The issue has to be a conflicting file or something hard coded/cached as like I said, the lnc file is working and editable (my Premier League change worked perfectly, just as I'm used to in previous versions.)
3. Ohhhh, duh. I should have known that. Got it.
Thanks for the response. Hope some of this info is useful. Like I said, everything on my end is sorted now so don't worry about it. Fingers crossed FM17 has a few less quirks.
Also, from someone who knows how tedious editing can be, a giant thank you for putting out this top class file year after year. Couldn't play without it.

1. Competition colors won't save. I normally edit the "euro comp colors" file a bit, making a few competitions different colors. Just preference. Always done this on different FMs. For whatever reason, my changes aren't importing into new saves. Only thing I can think of is all EU competitions (Champions League, Europa League, U21 Championships, etc. I've tested) colors are controlled by the continent Europe's colors. Stumped.
2. Some competition names won't update via the lnc file. So, this is weird. I made a few changes to the comp names lnc files (which I have installed in all three 1600 1601 and 16300 subfolders) out of preference. When I go back into the game, the name of the comp I edited has changed to the default name, not my edit, not your edit - the default name. Ended up sorting a few via a .fmf file which worked because I couldn't get it sorted. In the past I've had no issues with lnc's updating right away, and like I said, my entire game is using it and 100% perfect minus the changes I make and save in TextEdit. I've done this for years, no clue what's going on.
I'm using the pr0 updated database and a file which edits some kits and club colors, as I always have. Has to be a cache issue, fmf issue (I'm new on FM16, these were always .dbc's) or conflicting files somewhere I can't find.
tldr - colors won't update and some names won't update using the lnc. I don't know what's up.
None of this is a big deal or worth wasting time with, just wondered if you'd heard any of this before.
Cheers.
edit - Figured I'd ask while I'm here - is there a reason you include a lnc club name fix as well as a dbc file name fix? I know the dbc takes priority if changes are made. I'm just wondering if there's a rhyme or reason for which are on each file.

They're a joy to look at and a treat for those of us who play in obscure leagues with how extensive the collection is. Always up to date and high quality images too. Just great.

I finally picked up FM16. Just got everything installed, including this file and noticed Chinese clubs don't have their correct names. I started a new game and have the correct competition names, etc., so it's definitely installed correctly.
Did something change from previous years? I know FM14 had a "Chinese club name fix" file or something of the sort.
Thanks, great work as always. Couldn't play without you!
edit - this is what I'm seeing. https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/6yjqmzD4BKutdpwVOHyahVM9OTdt9sHM4quplgnd.png

Maybe you're avoiding using the corporate names? These clubs change so much it's hard to keep track.
Let me know.

Have you tested this with previous FMs? Would love to use it in FM14.
Either way, thanks so much!

The cut is bad and I'm not sure I'm responding in the correct format, lol. I just downloaded PS and Fluid Mask and figured I'd mess around and try one. Better than nothing I suppose.

There are three links in the OP, of which only the first is missing. Unfortunately this is the link that contains the player database. In that thread, a user was actually able to upload the player database as many other have been looking for this link as welll... but I'm afraid his version of the file is dated and doesn't work with the last updated facepack in the thread. As I understand it, 2/11/14 was the final release. The only linked database in the thread is from sometime in 2013 and therefore dated and may present issues with 14.3.
So, what I'm asking! If you remember playing with the Japanese league in FM14, I beg you, please check you "editor data" folder. The magic file I'm looking for is a .dbc, named something like "JPN_DB_[date]." Like I said, the date should be 2/11/14.
I realize this may be a long shot, but with how popular that thread was somebody surely has it laying around. Well, I hope so anyways! Really appreciate anybody who takes a second to check.
Thanks guys.

Watching the U-17 World Cup, I started focusing on how unique the names from each country are. (I'm a nerd, I know). This led me to think of FM and how some nations don't exactly have the most varied selection of names assigned to regens. I googled this idea in regards to FM and couldn't find much, but I did find this post.
Does anybody know if 1. this is accurate and 2. if anybody has created such a file? I feel it would go a long way in adding variety and become a must have for long term saves where the DB becomes a world of regens.
So, anybody with any knowledge here please respond! I'd be willing to help out with a file like this.
