ALRIGHT BOYZ...HERE WE GO...The Football Manager 2012 THREAD!!!

DaddyTorgo · 10-20-2011, 06:44 PM

Game on!!!

Decrypted and starting up!

DaddyTorgo · 10-20-2011, 06:59 PM

BEFORE YOU START A NEW GAME, delete the fake files. THis enables the German national team, real names of japanese teams, etcetera:

Go into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\football manager 2012\data\db\1200\lnc\all (if you installed via steam) and delete the .lnc files there.

Replace with the "Susie Real Names Fix" file from sortitoutsi.net

SackAttack · 10-20-2011, 07:00 PM

Man, worst parody thread ever.

DaddyTorgo · 10-20-2011, 07:01 PM

DIAF!!!!!

Jon · 10-20-2011, 07:10 PM

What time is it supposed to be working? I keep getting the "unavailable" message.

DaddyTorgo · 10-20-2011, 07:13 PM

Try restarting Steam maybe?

markprior22 · 10-20-2011, 07:29 PM

can't access the sortitout site...says down for maintenance

Yeah - that happened to me too. I have the .lnc files if people want them...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1980852/lnc/Awards.lnc
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1980852/lnc/Club%20Names.lnc
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1980852/lnc/Competitions.lnc

Put them inside a folder you create called "lnc"

markprior22 · 10-20-2011, 07:32 PM

That would be sweet DT

Thanks

When I click on these links, it brings up the text file. Shouldn't there be an actual .lnc file to move to the directory? Sorry but I'm confused.

Young Drachma · 10-20-2011, 07:49 PM

Curious to hear how it's going to be. Not sure I can see buying until a few patches in. My obligatory question: "How is data editing this year?"

Nope. They're not .lnc files

The folder is named "lnc" but the files inside are text files

DaddyTorgo · 10-20-2011, 08:16 PM

Switching your Steam server maybe?
Question

I receive the message The Steam Servers are currently unavailable. Please try again later. or The Steam Servers are too busy while using Steam - what should I do?

Answer

Change your Download Region

Try changing your Download Region to see if it affects the issue:
On Windows

Start Steam
Go to Steam > Settings > Downloads tab
Under Download region, select a different but relatively close region.
Try launching or installing the game once more

moriarty · 10-20-2011, 08:46 PM

Dumb question - I'm trying to continue the saved game from the demo and my DB is set to 'small'. Is there a way to increase it mid-game, or do I have to start all over to utilize a larger DB?

TroyF · 10-20-2011, 08:53 PM

added the logos, player pics and .inc files to the game. Ready to take it out for a spin. Yippee.

Pretty sure you'll have to start it over to get a bigger DB size

So whats the deal with the German Natl's team? If I just start fresh now something will be messed up?

If you replace the default files with the files linked in my dropbox (as detailed in the earlier post) they'll be normal, with real people.

If you don't replace the files, the German national team will be populated by greyed-out created players (the real players will still be playing, and still be German, etc, they just won't be on the national team).

jbergey22 · 10-20-2011, 09:06 PM

Ok,

Thanks for the heads up DT.

I had em from last year. I believe sort it out si still has all of them available. I'd upload em, but my connection sucks and nobody would get them for a week anyway.

jbergey22 · 10-20-2011, 09:19 PM

What are you guys getting for a 3D rating?

I swear I was at 4-5 last year, now Im at a 1? My computer is 1 year old.

DaddyTorgo · 10-20-2011, 09:38 PM

4.5 i think, but i just got a new laptop.

fortheglory · 10-20-2011, 09:39 PM

where is a place to download all the megabuck logos in one shot?...no torrent

TroyF · 10-20-2011, 09:39 PM

If you are going to do anything with the editor, you need to have a separate d/l through Steam.

go to library, all games, tools, fm12 editor.

Im looking for this same thing for player pics. Downloading 20 different pic packs with this free download package is quite the chore.

Yeah. I found a torrent of 3.10 to get me most of the way there - will let you guys know in a minute if it's an actual working file.

Thank you.

This is going to take awhile..1.6% after around 10 min of downloading.

DaddyTorgo · 10-20-2011, 10:05 PM

No prob. If I could point you to the actual source torrent I used I'd do that too. Hmm.

Yeah

Might check to see if your video card driver is up-to-date.

There should be a new megapack out soon.

sovereignstar v2 · 10-20-2011, 10:37 PM

Little peeved they didn't get a little database update in patch. Sergio Aguero has a fricking release clause still. Have to use the editor already.. grrr!

SirFozzie · 10-20-2011, 10:40 PM

Ooh.. my regional leagues mod (replacing england's league setup with a 9 region national league based on location, with the winners of each region playing for the national championship) from FM11 imported into FM12 fine.

Prepare for great rejoicing or great despair (and bending Marc's ear as he told me the bug that prevented it from working in FM11 was fixed!)

sovereignstar v2 · 10-20-2011, 10:40 PM

And for those that haven't noticed, Susie/Sortitoutsi trashed everything on their forum and it sounds like nothing is coming back. I appreciate the hosting they provide, but they have some different kind of folks running that place.

DT wins.

Heh. I'm not going to fight DT over which thread gets to be official. It'd be bloody stupid if one of us got boxed over it.

Besides, his ego needs to boost

Yeah this is the link I started with but there was 20 packs I needed to download and with the free download package they were taking over an hour with each pack. Glad DT helped out. That was annoying.

But that link is also all of the 20 packs I think...cuz it's 4GB

sovereignstar v2 · 10-20-2011, 10:52 PM

Uh, there is a single 4.1 gigabyte link in large font on that page.

I just deleted the files in INC and I have ungreyed out real players on the German national team. Is yours an updated version of this?

When I clicked on it, it sent me to a place where I had to do 20 seperate downloads. Perhaps I missed something. Not sure.

Yeah it gave me the option of free mirrors or signing up for the premium package which costs 83p a month. However much that is.

sovereignstar v2 · 10-20-2011, 10:53 PM

Same deal for the metallic logos megapack listed here.

http://fmdownloads.com/graphics/style/5/metallic-logos

Personally, I don't like the metallic logos, but the shiny logos megapack I much prefer might be dead for good.

What's happened to the old files?
If you're wondering what's happened to the all the old stuff its been temporarily removed but will be back very soon (basically we ran out of time to convert it all).

The forums however are starting again with a completely clean slate.

And I'm pretty sure a vast majority of downloadable content was never uploaded to the Susie site, so I don't know what files are going to "be back very soon".

That's what I meant. A single 4gb link, and then inside it is all of the same data as the 20 individual packs.

Im not too sharp when it comes to finding torrent downloads. Is there a chance that you could find a logo torrent as well?

Thanks in advance.
