Why isn't this more popular? I just tried it in one match and to be honest it feels like a new game. Thanks a lot for your work!


I guess because there's no "Audio" discussion section at susie, and technically this ain't no "Graphics Patch" but "Audio Patch", lol

Cheers

Hi,

Do i need to copy paste the all "Audio_Commentary_Patch_FM2015_v0_6" folder or do it individually for each folder that is inside?


Basically, installation is just copy the sub-folder named "data" inside "Audio_Commentary_Patch_FM2015_v0_6" to
\steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2015\

means to merger with the "data" sub-folder of FM15. Backup before do this merger, like installation instruction said.

Can you upload in RAR please? I have no idea how to open such a file and never faced an extension like this before lol


What WinRAR version are you using? WinRAR supports 7z from quite long time ago, usually can just use WinRAR to extract *.7z files.

If your WinRAR version is too old to deal with 7z, use 7-zip then:
http://www.7-zip.org/

It's free.

I've modified the sound file to reduce overlaps. Available on DazS8 at Facebook


Great job mate!

I got your modded files days before, but till today I don't have time to test and integrate.

Now it's done! I have integrated your sound files and DazS8's Realistic Sound Patch in version 0.6.

Thank you mates, you and DazS8. And I hope you enjoy it.

Hi thanks. In fact I tried a lot without success. I think this panel doesn't support the kits code from the club overview panel. That's why I used the default. However if you strictly do what I suggest in the "Important Notes" the kits will show the team badge.

cheers
flut


Got it! Reading "IMPORTANT NOTES" right now.

Cheers mate!

Hi FLUT

That flashing "Kit View" next to portrait in player profile page, which is new in 1.9, COOL!

But the kit is a colored default one, without badges and sponsor logos. Is there any choice that we could replace it into actual club kit, the exact home kit display in club profile page?

Thanx!
But there must be something we could do with the "mix into chaos" (the two or three commentaries problem)


Some events happen too close cause this issue. One follow another almost no time gap between them, like shooting & goal.

I consider to make a "Lite" version to solve this problem, by reduce sound events and re-order some of them.

But it needs time, several days I hope.

Initial version for FM15. Direct ported from MBarbaric's FM12-14 version, almost nothing changed.



INSTALLATION

0) Exit FM/FMC Completely


1) Backup Original Game Files (Events & Sounds)

Backup these two folders:

On Windows (In "Program Files" or somewhere else picked while STEAM install):
\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2015\data\events\
\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2015\data\sounds\
On Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2015/data/events/
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2015/data/sounds/
On Android:
/sdcard/Android/data/sportsinteractive.fm15/files/installed/data/events/
/sdcard/Android/data/sportsinteractive.fm15/files/installed/data/sounds/
If something goes wrong we can cover them back.


2) Apply Audio Commentary Patch

Extract the patch to a temporary path, like Desktop or something.

Mac users please use files in "for_mac" subfolder, and Windows/Android users use files in "for_windows_&_android" subfolder.

First, copy its
\events\
as
(Windows)
\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2015\data\events\
(Mac)
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2015/data/events/
(Android)
/sdcard/Android/data/sportsinteractive.fm15/files/installed/data/events/
Second, copy its
\sounds\default\
as
(Windows)
\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2015\data\sounds\default\
(Mac)
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2015/data/sounds/default/
(Android)
/sdcard/Android/data/sportsinteractive.fm15/files/installed/data/sounds/default/
OS will ask to overwrite some files, click OK/YES to confirm, we have backup those in previous step so nothing to worry about.

That's all. According to my test no need to touch event files in update folder (\data\updates\update-1532\events\), let them be.


3) Delete Game Cache Folder (Android Users Only)

FMC Tablet version doesn't come with an option to clear cache in-game, so we have to do it outside the game.

Simply delete this folder:
/sdcard/Android/data/sportsinteractive.fm15/files/application_support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/Caches/
If you got lots of custom graphic resources and don't wanna clear cache ('cos next loading time would be extreme long I know) , you may use audio commentary patch without clear cache, just can't guarantee it works fine or not.


4) In-Game Testing

Start FM/FMC, make sure that "Use sound in match" is ticked and "Volume" slide is high enough in "Preferences" - "Match" Tab.

(For Windows and Mac users) And next, VERY IMPORTANT, do "Clear Cache" & "Reload Skin" in "Preferences" - "Interface" Tab.

Jump into matches and enjoy! Please know that commentaries won't appear immediately, need about half minute for buffering.


5) Highlight Modes

Normally all highlight modes (except "Only Commentary" ) are fine for audio commentary, but some folks said "Key" mode is not that good for it, very few commentaries heard in "Key" mode.


6) Known Issue

Sometimes two or three commentaries come out together and mix into chaos. But since version 0.6 the modified sound pack by Bart is integrated, so this multiple commentaries weird thing should be reduced.


7) Specific Note for Mac

Audio commentary for Mac is actually a "Lite Version", the variety of commentary may a bit less than Windows/Android version.

Why's that? Because Mac version of FM15 is flaky, only accept events before line 1024 in "match_sounds.cfg", so this file must less than 1024 lines anyway. I have to solve it with a funky way, rip events file down from around 2800 effective lines to exact 1023 lines. As result events for Mac are the same to other platforms, but variety of most events are reduced.

Besides above, Mac version is same as Windows/Android version.


8) Specific Note for Android

Well, here's a recommended game option for Android users but you may not like it.

Recommend set show replays to "None", otherwise has a big choice to lose commentary even all sounds after replay. If you don't wanna play without replays, increase replay speed in preferences should help but still has choice got commentary lost after replay.

And yet another Android specific issue, match may get muted in extra time & penalty shoot-out. Have no idea why.


9) Other Platforms?

Linux - I am a "Linux Guy" really, but just use Linux boxes as SERVERS. Theoretically this patch should works on FM15/Linux, but I didn't check.

iOS - Have no iPad myself. As I know, iOS does not allow user to touch its actual file system, so seems this patch won't work on it.

Hi zzpiggy

Thanks for your suggestion. In fact I have done the steps you talked about when I tested....My home colour is yellow...I really don't know what happens...but is just a detail that does not bother me much ;-)

cheers

Yeah, let it be for now.

Hi
You're right. The accent colours do that strange "thing". However I tried to delete that code (black) in order to test...and the problem still remains.


Hi FLUT

Works for me, mate. But I had to restart the game totally to get it done, hot edit and refresh skin won't do. Seems 'accent colours.xml' won't reload until the game restart.

If it is not works for you, I have another guess. Could it be relate to home color? My home color is white, guess yours is different. So you have to blank other color rather than 'black'. Just a wide guess.

Hi FLUT,

I noticed that couple lines in 'accent colours.xml' make texts over U19/B-team sidebar icons disappear on homepage & my club's main page, no 'U19' or 'B', just two blank icons. However when I access other clubs' main page or players' info pages, these texts come back.

These following lines:


<!-- Black -->
<record min_hue="0" max_hue="100" min_saturation="0" max_saturation="100" min_lightness="0" max_lightness="10">
  <colour id="accent_colour" red="19" green="19" blue="19" alpha="0"/>
</record>

The 220x220 one has just one XML file, and then all other resolutions have 4 XML files. Is that OK?

Mate, your 'skin_config.xml' is using a wrong 'parent', it pointed to 'fm dark-widgets', which make most panels unreadable.
