Changing Cities

[TheMeat]

If I change the city/nickname of some teams in my MP league, what files do I need to send to my participants?

Also, if I change the logo of a team, I just need to send them that file from the pictures folder right?

frfoot.fcy and frfoot.fni. If you search a bit, you'll find instructions for creating a batch file to handle this. The game does not handle differing city/nickname settings for teams between leagues very well, so what you need is a batch file that copies the frfoot.fcy, frfoot.fni, and any picture files appropriate to that league from a saved directory back into the FOF directory, then launches FOF.

In fact, for an example see http://www.gstelmack.com/woof/woof_launch.zip.

Hmmm, thanks for the info but I'm going to admit that I have no idea what a batch file is or how to make one :confused:

Is it gonna mess things up if I just have a participant copy those two files over theirs (plus pics) before they load the game up?

Must've missed that part, hehe. But I can't just copy em over?

You can, but if you do the batch file you can have multiple leagues with different cities, graphics, etc. and launch into that setup in a single click, rather than opening three folders and copying files all over the place and then launching the game which will probably get rather annoying.
