EPL Realism Patch v1.2 Beta Release, Links, Feedback, Updates, Pictures etc Einstellungen

so the kit problems are becouse of zdata?I didnt put them there and had no problems yet(played about 50 matches).if the zdata are the problem just dont put yor files there leave them in game folder.

[goooner]

no i wont give up as this needs to be solved for other peoples patches and future patches, it is confirmed there is no problem with the way i import but no matter what numbers i use i seem to have problems with certain kits and cant find any errors in those kits and yes like you ive tested without importing and they work! although 1 problem i did find was a players hair was missing when i did this????

can you confirm all cup scripts work 100% then as 1 person reports a crash in fa cup

my next step is to try different zdatas to import too.. god give me strength lol

[Dynamomuse]

Sorry mate, I have been tucked up at work and haven't been home since Thursday! I might not get a chance to check stuff until late Monday.

Happy birthday anyway. I will be in touch soon.

[Leonid]

I know for sure that if its ok to leave kits in game folder(and many big exprerienced makers and sites do their fsh kits like this for some years)the only hair missing I saw was the usual hair bugs you see with editor faces(looks like scars in hair but this was in the game for yers).with faces 3d its not good to leave faces files in game folder cos this leads to crashes in some situations,for example if a team has about 3-4 custom faces or a player with such patch come in as a sub.
here is a screen,no hair missing,thats if understood you correctly:

The problem of hair was on the only rapid wien player with custom face and you could see the pink and black squares on his head.. hope this makes more sense. As for importing far as im concerned when adding new kit this is only thing i have tested 100% it causes crashes in other teams possibly faces aswell i need to test. My example is adding any kit for me causes crahes when loading games of Rapid Wien and England International. What i will do now is continue finishing patch and either leave all files in main directory or hope a solution is found. I do have few more ideas but im fed up of testing so i will finish patch then do the last testing.

But 100% anyone who is thinking of using the fifafs method posted on the forum i wouldnt, it doesn't work

I know what ou are talking about,had these problems last year,its the faces to blame.last year I had russian patch with kits like yours and some one started doing faces so every time you had custom faces players on pitch with teams who have fsh kits crashes would follow.thats why this year i am not touching custom faces or zdata importing.again hope i understood you correctly,but i am sure that kits alone if left in game folder are 100%safe.

[goooner]

I have solved the problem!

Using another method of injecting using exactly the same files everything is working 100% omg i am so happy, i will now continue with patch. The methos of importing VollachR has is useful and alot easier for large batches of files so i will still seek the answer of what we are doing wrong but i am now using the same method used by fifa patchers and i can tell you now injecting will be fine i have tested this issue for 4 weeks and i dont have any of the problems so will now use with faces also.. maybe even those faces that didnt work will now work fingers crossed!

Lenoid have you played in F.A cup and can confirm it doesnt crash in 3rd round?

what i will do now tomorrow if someone can confirm cups work is make a new patch with new method to keep all happy why i finish first full release but it will happen faster if someone can test this for me as i need to build and check the kits patch.

thankyou and patch will follow shortly
==================================================================
UPDATE:

I have imported all kits succesfully with no errors no crashes that part is working 100%

I now run simulated season up to cup dates and draws to test this works 100%

I now decided next version will be full release with many new aspects added these i keep under my hat (all i will say is these are exciting) but you will have to wait up to a week maximum i expect to be finished before this and will include missing databaseplayers, player pictures, new manager pics etc.. the other things im thinking of adding excite me more though watch this space for pics!

update on F.A CUP: as reported by a tester 2 teams disappear from the the fa.cup 3rd round i did some testing but not enough to be sure who and why. So my final suggestion is wait for final release im aiming for the 8th of april which will coincide with IL's israel patch which wil be fully compatiable.

The other little secrets im keeping under my hat will come in the form of pictures very soon... the next version will be fully tested and functional and include everything i can think of adding i will post many of the updates very very soon

Lastly you will need a clean install of FIFA Manager, you will recive no support without this as it WILL work so just bin 1.2.1, 1.3 full will work 100% with a clean install and be the best ever english patch i promise so thankyou for your testing and patience

[wrestleuk]

Thanks Gooner ive installed your latest patch and i can confirm that it has fixed the promotion/relagation problem thankyou very much i was getting rather frustrated!



The only problem with the game now (which may not be from your patch) is that all the clubs seem to have little or no transfer budget at all not just the club youy manage but every club

Its very difficult to sell a player becuase even a player for say £2 million the premiership clubs all say its byond there transfer budget

ive even gone into the editor and made the clubs richer but seemingly no luck

[goooner]

RIGHT CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH DO NOT INSTALL OR PLAY 1.2.1 UNLESS YOU ARE TESTING SOMETHING SPECIFIC, OR ARE FIXING SOME ASPECT OF IT FOR ME! IT WILL MAKE YOUR GAME CRASH AS THE IMPORTING METHOD WAS NOT WORKING I ACTUALLY DISCOVERED THIS BUG AND AS SUCH CANNOT TAKE THE BLAME I INFACT STOPPED MANY PATCHES BEING MADE WITH THIS BUG.

AS IT SAYS WAIT FOR 1.3! FOR A STABLE INSTALLTION OF FIFA MANAGER DO NOT INSTALL ANY OF MY PATCHES UNTIL I RELEASE REPACKAGED COMPLETE RELEASES. IF INSTALLED ALREADY I RECOMMEND REINSTALING THE GAME!


I hope thats clear , it's not my fault as i said unless i found the bug many patches would be released with it!

Update on 1.3: Now compatiable with BF's manager pictures + all blue sq prem manager pictures edited, Sponsors added to patch. Currently working on F.A Cup the problem is it draws doubles of teams. I have seeked help and waiting for reply if such a large cup isnt possible i will use the normal pathetic system. Unfortunatly this means not all leagues can enter! so fingers crossed otherdumbname can work a solution.


The promotions had been working for long time , yes has been frustrating but when you see what i have done with this patch now it will have been worth it. It has been slow due to the problems with importing tool and no one has been as frustrated as myself.. but now that is sorted i am doing some nice work. 1.3 will work and will be a full release.

[Leonid]

so in order to install you final patch correctly it will be neccesery to reinstall the game?

[goooner]

For you lenoid no you didnt inject, what im saying is if installed in the correct way previously then it causes errors and i recommend reinstalling the gane without installing 1.2.1 or face pack pack vol 1 & 2

On the other hand if you dont install via exe, i would also expect there to be graphical issues and everything will probably not work correctly but thats down to you i can only garauntee it will be bullet proof if you have not installed previous patches of mine and are installing 1.3 with the method i provide.

1.3 will include non editor made stadiums and player faces + many other new things. Please be patient as the pictures no one is willing to help with are slowing release although BF did make my job easier with update 4

I also expect a smaller F.A Cup system unless someone an sort the script, my script is correct mathematiacally but manages to confuse the game.. im not suprised by this and wil probabably use the original system although the F.A Trophy 128 team cup seems ok so far!

As for the transfer player thing reported below has nothing to do with my patch andsome teams actually have more money in my patch.

[goooner]

Ok in last couple of days ive added somethings here is a list

Almost full Set of team pics now for the following (not including the previous pics from 1.2.1):

Hyde
Havant and waterlooville
Cambridge United
Farsley Celtic
Fisher Athletic
Tamworth
Lewes
Newport County
Hayes

Custom sponsorship logo's

Many of the Manager pics properly edited (removed pics which are now included in update 4)

Fixed Bugs witth team logo's


As for F.A CUP still waiting on answer as to wether this game can cope with such a large cup finger crossed!

[goooner]

Ok some significant advances!

Player Pictures Finished to be honest i dont know how many lower league ive added all i can say is there are around 900 picture files including those from my euro managers patch.

As for editing all manager pictures, currently i cant be bothered , so what we are left with is this... Removal of those that had background and are now included with update 4. Blue Sq prem mangers all edited for no back ground... some Regional edited no where near all.. i may do a future release i may not i havent made up my mind.

zdata importing have made big advances now running game with an extra zdata file, this is in early stage of testing but i hope to put everything new in this file making my life alot more simple + there is a mod hopefully that will allow many more files to be imported. There are still a few things im looking at.. for example having fsh files in main directory is not a good method so im looking at the databases to see if something there can be done. This method will also allow me to add many more kits eg updates to prem league, also banners etc etc

I also hope to do a stadium patch which would give all the proper 3d stadium of premier league.. but havent tested this yet! so wait for more news.

Alot of thing to test and theres more im not mentioning so lets hope it all comes together


The main thing im doing at mo is F.A CUP as mention previously i had problems with this ... as i type im simulating and have got upto round 4 which is a round more than previos but if i cant fix i will need to wait til monday for help so patch will take sometime as you can see but fingers crossed it should all come together soon.


As can see i really do need picture help still as im doing many things at once so... if you can edit pics even poorly please do some Euro managers for me

Just dropped in to comment on that paragraph of your last message...

Well, to start with, while troubleshooting the crashing problem with my own patch we talked about yesterday, I got around to test the kits & banners without importing to the zdata, to be honest, it all worked fine, I didn't see a single problem with it so far, it may not be comfortable because it means adding many files to the main game folder but it works and it features much less "risk factor" compared to importing to zdata files.

Ball files, still must be imported to the zdata though and I believe any replaced element should be as well, replacing though is less risky compared to new elements and since new elements works without importing I see no reason to import if not needed.

I am aware of what you said about the cliping/cutting hair when playing without importing, well, honestly, I noticed the same problem in my game with importing as well and even without added content whatsoever so this is by no means a problem related to the fsh files in the folder but rather a game bug.

Nevertheless, I would still like a one-on-one conversation with you regarding what you mentioned here about the extra zdata file, I find this intriguing.

[goooner]

OK patch is nearlly complete so what can i tell you.....

1. The F.A CUP system is not possible therefore i will return it to original format leaving out conference north and south although dont be to sad remember i have made the F.A Trophy cup for the lower league teams!

2. I have the proper 3d stadiums for Premier League and Coca Cola Championship... also thinking of releasing a further stadium patch as i have the entire collection

3. Face patch will be included most likely with a few new faces.

4. Importing now tested with a working method that wont cause any problems!

As it stands patch is 80% complete i hope to release Sunday or Monday, there are a couple more things im still testing and will make attempts to do so i wont give the run down on whats included. What i will do is get you some screenies by tomorrow and maybe il know what new bits work and what dont by then and what i have time to do etc. if i have the time id for example like to update the prem kits but we will see...

Having played a little of what ive done im already more than happy with the progress, ive made and i hope that now both players of top leagues and lower leagues will enjoy the game alot more!

For now have a nice easter and il post again tomorrow

[goooner]
