Compdata leagues and playoffs

Rizzaldio · Mar 22, 2023

Ok heres my notes for the first steps I had to follow - I apologise if this is overly complicated. When I have time I will explain fully.

The first thing to do is identify possible problems with the changes you are planning to make.

– Replacing the Polish league will break the structure of the champions league/Europa league/conference league. Therefore we need to have a plan to increase the number of qualifiers from other leagues to resolve this.

Solution – Tasks is the table where these tournament are filled from the other leagues. I need to take out any reference to the polish league in the European tournaments and also any references to Poland the country otherwise when you change the nation of the league it will break. I find the lines for compobj for these tournaments
Champions League – Line 95 to 178
Europa League – Line 179 to 249
Conference League – Line 250 to 326

Poland is nation 37 in the database. The polish leagueid is 66. So we are looking in the tasks table for
FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry which mentions the league number 66 between line 95 and 326. In the excel link table I highlight them in red so I know which ones I am changing. There is also a polish cup so we need to identify FillFromCompTableBackupLeague lines which mention the cup which has a backup league of 66. The cup id is 1128. So I highlight this line too.

I am going to replace these lines with other tournaments/leagues. I have gave the Scottish league an extra spot in the champions league (qualifiers). So delete this line (109)

95

start

FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry

100

66

1

3

and change line 110 so it looks like this:

95

start

FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry

100

50

2

4

I then found the Scottish league reference in compobj

1255

5

G1

FCE_Championship_Group

1254

The compobj line reference is 1255 so I go to settings and I add this line:

1255

info_color_slot_champ_cup

3

And change

1255	info_color_slot_uecl	3
1255	info_color_slot_uecl	4

to

1255	info_color_slot_uecl	4
1255	info_color_slot_uecl	5

We now need to remove these lines in tasks

250	start	FillFromCompTableBackupLeague	253	1128	66	1
250	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	253	66	2	3

and replace with more teams from another league instead. I’ve chose to increase the Romanian teams that qualify to 1 extra so

250	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	253	330	1	3
250	start	FillFromCompTableBackupLeague	253	1216	330	1

Changes to

250	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	253	330	2	4
250	start	FillFromCompTableBackupLeague	253	1216	330	1

Now we export all of the compdata files and import them to test.

Now secondly we need to the same for the Asian Champions League because we are removing several Asian Leagues. Asian champions league is currently at compdata lines 1562 – 1582. So in tasks we need to find these lines where it Fills From leagues. And they appear like this

1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	2012	3	3
1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	349	4	4
1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	350	3	3
1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	83	3	3
1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	351	2	2

Because we are removing some of them we need to identify the leagueids for the ones we take out:
China - 2012
Saudi - 350
Japan – 349
So we need to remove these and increase some other others to fill those missing slots…

1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	83	3	3
1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	351	2	2

Easiest way as there is only now 2 countries is to give each of them 8 slots each

1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	83	8	8
1562	start	FillFromLeagueMaxFromCountry	1564	351	8	8

Remove this line:

1562

start

FillFromCompTable

1564

1604

1

0

As this will cause more problems. Now test into season 2 to make sure UEFA champions league still works and AFC Champs League still works.

DONE and confirmed as working. Now we can start adding the actual leagues (the fun bit)

Rizzaldio · Mar 22, 2023

Note: Preseason is a constant pain when you are doing this so it is best to remove it completely and add it again later once we have confirmed everything else is working.

To remove it go to dlc/dlc_FootballCompEng/dlc/FootballCompEng/data/PreSeasonTours.csv and empty the lines so it looks like this:

Type,Nation ID,Nation,Star Rating,Minimum Budget,# Clubs,,,,,,,,,Timezone
,,,,,European,North American,South American,ROW,Local,Continental,Qualify Prize,Group Prize,Final Prize,

Stage 2
----------
We are now going to remove the Polish League, The Saudi League, The Chinese League and the Japanese League completely along with all of their references within in the other tables.

We also need to remove the cups but it is ok to keep the Nation Line.

Example – Poland is everything from line

1129

4

S1

FCE_Setup_Stage

1128

To

1158

5

G1

1157

Note – when you use a link table everything will get a REF! showing it is no longer available. You need to remove all of these lines!

Now after this we retest again making sure the champs league works into season 2 for both AFC and UEFA.

DONE – Tested and working. Remember to change the teams that automatically qualify for the European comps in the first season otherwise you will end up with French Lower League teams in there. (This can be done in the database – table is called euroseeds!).

At this point I now have a league table without
Poland, Saudi Arabia,China and Japan. So this will work for both of you to start building French Leagues/Serbian Leagues. I’ll do France first as that’s the original question…

Rizzaldio · Mar 22, 2023

Stage 3 adding the new French leagues.

In the database change the nationid for the leagues we are using so they are the French nation id (18). Changing the level here just makes it look nicer So I’ve changed them like so:

National 1 (ID:66 // Polish league) – level 3
National 2 (ID:2012 // Chineese league) – level 4
National 3 (ID:350 // Saudi league) – level 5
Régional 1 (ID:349 // Japaneese league) – level 5

First job is to add them to compdata like so:
Put them under the French nation at the bottom (line 918)

918	3	C66	TrophyName_Abbr15_66	840
919	4	S1	FCE_League_Stage	918
920	5	G1		919
921	3	C2012	TrophyName_Abbr15_2012	840
922	4	S1	FCE_League_Stage	921
923	5	G1		922
924	3	C350	TrophyName_Abbr15_350	840
925	4	S1	FCE_League_Stage	924
926	5	G1		925
927	3	C349	TrophyName_Abbr15_349	840
928	4	S1	FCE_League_Stage	927
929	5	G1		928

Next table to update is compids which needs to know the compdata reference lines for where each competition starts (The Green 3 part)

918

921

924

927

There is nothing to do in advancement at this point. In settings we need to add the following lines for each tournament (we are not adding promo or relegation yet before we know it all works):

asset_id	17
comp_type	LEAGUE
schedule_internationaldependency	0
info_prize_money_promo	100000
match_matchsituation	LEAGUE
info_prize_money	100000
info_prize_money_drop	5
standings_sort	POINTS
standings_sort	GOALDIFF
standings_sort	H2HPOINTS
standings_sort	H2HGOALDIFF
standings_sort	H2HGOALSFOR
num_games	2
info_slot_champ	1
info_color_slot_champ	1

There are no need to make changes to weather or initteams. In tasks we need to fill the leagues with the relevant teams which we do like this:

918	start	FillFromLeague	920	66	0	0
918	start	ClearLeagueStats	919	66	0	0

(Similar for each team. We don’t need any update tables at the moment as we don’t need to remember any slots).

For objectives we need to add some objectives for the manager to hit in the leagues like this:

920	CHAMPION	1
920	PROMOTION	2
920	MID_TABLE	10
920	AVOID_RELEGATION	16

For each of the leagues

For standings we have to add a position for each place in the table:

920	0
920	1
920	2
920	3
920	4
920	5
920	6
920	7
920	8
920	9
920	10
920	11
920	12
920	13
920	14
920	15
920	16
920	17

And for schedule, best solution is to take the existing ones that were there for one of the leagues we removed and just update the compobj reference for them. Note – this is not a problem for the Polish league because it came from the same confederation but the Asian Leagues run on a different schedule so you will need to update the days.

For this reason I have taken the schedule of France for the Japanese League and used that and I had to make one from scratch for the other 2.

Now I will test it again…and its working.

Just the promotion and relegation to fix now. I need to take a quick break so I will do this tonight and send you the files after its done

As this will cause more problems. Now test into season 2 to make sure UEFA champions league still works and AFC Champs League still works.

DONE and confirmed as working. Now we can start adding the actual leagues (the fun bit)

I'm finishing the first step, there're no crash but a little bug : Conference League is no longer available, idk why ! I can only find it in "season">"teams stats", but there's no match in this competition

Nah don't worry, since i deleted Preseason Tour it works ahahah

Apollo404 · Mar 23, 2023

I was testing it works so i go to the step 2

Apollo404 · Mar 23, 2023

So, everything works that's insane for now, just a little question (you'll answer tomorrow don't worry), i put two leagues as the french 5th division as you wrote but on the screen where i can choose a league, the "false" 5th division is before the real one. Do you know what i can do to put the false one (6th division) after the right ?

I'm back online now

I'm on the final step so will provide you with the final steps shortly. I'll also send you my compdata files so you can compare / use them.

I've always had this problem that you mentioned. I'm not currently sure how it gets sorted but I'll see if I can work it out later.

I think that for the lil problem i'll keep the 6th division in another country ^^ that's easy, no bugs and cool

Next step is to add promotion and relegation (not the playoffs just yet).

You said you wanted to take away the playoffs for 2.bundesliga and 3.Liga from Germany, so the first thing I am going to do is to change the way promotion/relegation works in the Germany league structure to stop that having any problems.

I go to the settings file and find the compobj lines for 2.bundesliga which is compobj lines 1000-1002. I’m going to remove the scheduleforce comps to stop the playoffs working. So remove these lines

1000	schedule_forcecomp	1003
1000	schedule_forcecomp	1011

I am going to change these lines:

1002	info_slot_promo_poss	3
1002	info_slot_releg_poss	16

So that they are just promo/releg and not poss

1002	info_slot_promo	3
1002	info_slot_releg	16

I am also going to change the color slots for these so change

1002	info_color_slot_promo_poss	3
1002	info_color_slot_releg_poss	16

To

1002	info_color_slot_promo	3
1002	info_color_slot_releg	16

I also need to do the same thing for 3.Liga so this is compdata lines 1008-1010.
Remove the forcecomp lines.
Change

1010

info_slot_promo_poss

3

To

1010

info_slot_promo

3

And change

1010

info_color_slot_promo_poss

3

To

1010

info_color_slot_promo

3

Also we need to change the Bundesliga (compdata reference 997-999) to make sure 3 teams are automatically relegated:
Change

999

info_color_slot_releg_poss

16

to

999

info_color_slot_releg

16

and also change

999

info_slot_releg_poss

16

to

999

info_slot_releg

16

Now we have automatic relegation/promotion rather than playoffs in Germany so we can remove the playoff tournaments now.
3.Liga are lines 1011-1015 in compdata and 2.Bundesliga are lines 1003-1007. Remove them completely.

Now remove all the references to them in the other tables...

I’m now going to save all these tables and import them into the game so I can test that the promotion/relegation in Germany is working as I expect.

Tested – all is now working as expected in Germany

Excellent work mate! I'm going to finish it off and add the compdata files here anyway just in case anybody else tried following though this. Congrats mate, been a pleasure working with you

Rizzaldio · Mar 23, 2023

Next up is getting the promotion and relegation working for the French leagues. I’ve made it so 3 go down from each league (from the existing 2nd division onwards) and 3 go up. If you follow the steps below you should be able to see it is pretty easy to alter this if required.

We are not doing the playoffs just yet, we will do that after this bit is working.

So we need to add to the settings file a relegation from the 2nd League.

The compobj reference for the leagues are as follows:

2nd Division – 906-908
3rd Division – 918-920
4th Division – 921-923
5th Division – 924-926
6th Division – 927-929

The league ids which we are using are
2nd Divison - 17
3rd Division – 66 (18 teams) (Poland)
4th Division – 2012 (16 teams) (China)
5th Division – 350 (16 teams) (Saudi)
6th Division – 349 (20 teams) (Japan)

So in settings we need to add a line to each division to tell it which league to relegate to and another for which one to promoted to. For example, 2nd Division needs a line referencing the relegation division:

906

info_league_releg

66

It already has a line to reference the promotion to Ligue 1 so we don’t need to add anything there.

For 3rd Division we add

918	info_league_promo	17
918	info_league_releg	2012

Continue this until all leagues have the lines added (6th division doesn’t need a releg line). Now we need to tell it which teams to relegate/promote from each division. For promos you need a info_slot_promo line and a info_color_slot_promo line. For relegation you need info_slot_releg and a info_color_slot_releg.
For example. I have added this for the relegation from 2nd Division down to the 3rd division:

908	info_slot_releg	18
908	info_slot_releg	19
908	info_slot_releg	20
908	info_color_slot_releg	18
908	info_color_slot_releg	19
908	info_color_slot_releg	20

Similarly to promote from 3rd Division I have added the following:

920	info_slot_promo	1
920	info_slot_promo	2
920	info_slot_promo	3
920	info_color_slot_promo	2
920	info_color_slot_promo	3

Note how I have missed out the color slot for promo at 1 because I want to keep the color for the champion different to the others.

Also remember Division 6 don’t add the relegation parts.

Now I’m going to test by running through a season into season 2 to check the teams I expect are promoted and relegated…Tested for a few seasons and all working as expected.

Finally we add the playoffs…

Previously we removed the playoffs for Germany which were using competion ids 21 and 22 so we can re-use these.

I’m just going to add one playoff as an example which can be replicated if you want to. I am going to add a playoff between Ligue 2 and the 3rd division. I have put the playoff tournament at the bottom of the Germany nation in compdata so mine looks like this:

930	3	C21	TrophyName_Abbr15_21	840
931	4	S1	FCE_Setup_Stage	930
932	4	S2	FCE_Setup_Stage	930
933	4	S3	FCE_Promotion_Playoff_Final	930
934	5	G1		933

I need to add a reference to the start of the tournament in compids so I have added 930 to compids

I need to add the following lines to settings to show how the tournament works:

930	info_league_promo	17
930	info_league_releg	2012
930	asset_id	21
930	comp_type	PLAYOFF
930	match_matchimportance	100
930	info_prize_money_promo	600000
931	match_stagetype	SETUP
932	match_stagetype	SETUP
932	advance_calccompavgs	1
933	match_stagetype	KO2LEGS
933	match_matchsituation	FINAL
933	rule_allowadditionalsub	on

We need to add lines to advancement to state where the teams are coming from. This should be the 3rd place team in division 3 and the 18th placed team in division 2 so I have added these lines:

908	18	934	1
920	3	934	2

I also want to go back to settings and change those positions to show promotion_poss and relegation_poss like they did before:

908	info_color_slot_promo_poss	5
908	info_slot_releg_poss	16
908	info_slot_releg	17
908	info_slot_releg	18
908	info_color_slot_releg_poss	16
908	info_color_slot_releg	17
908	info_color_slot_releg	18

and

920	info_slot_promo	1
920	info_slot_promo	2
920	info_slot_promo_poss	3
920	info_color_slot_promo	2
920	info_color_slot_promo_poss	3

No changes are required in initteams,weather,tasks,objectives.

To standings we need to add slots for the playoff game which is compdata reference 934 for me:

934	0
934	1

And we need to add a schedule line for the 2 legs of the playoff like this…(it must come after the end of the season)

933	507	1	1	1	2000
933	510	2	1	1	2000

I also added a forcecomp line to both Division 2 and the 3rd division so the player can see it on their tournament list when they are in either of these tournaments:

906

schedule_forcecomp

930

and

918

schedule_forcecomp

930

Now I am going to test that it works as expected and the team who loses the playoff goes into the 3rd division. And the team who wins goes into the 2nd division.

It all worked. Hopefully you were able to follow the tutorial. My compdata files for this example are here if you need to check them:

So we need to add to the settings file a relegation from the 2nd League.

The compobj reference for the leagues are as follows:

2nd Division – 906-908
3rd Division – 918-920
4th Division – 921-923
5th Division – 924-926
6th Division – 927-929

The league ids which we are using are
2nd Divison - 17
3rd Division – 66 (18 teams) (Poland)
4th Division – 2012 (16 teams) (China)
5th Division – 350 (16 teams) (Saudi)
6th Division – 349 (20 teams) (Japan)

So in settings we need to add a line to each division to tell it which league to relegate to and another for which one to promoted to. For example, 2nd Division needs a line referencing the relegation division:

906
info_league_releg
66

It already has a line to reference the promotion to Ligue 1 so we don’t need to add anything there.

For 3rd Division we add

918
info_league_promo
17
918
info_league_releg
2012

Continue this until all leagues have the lines added (6th division doesn’t need a releg line). Now we need to tell it which teams to relegate/promote from each division. For promos you need a info_slot_promo line and a info_color_slot_promo line. For relegation you need info_slot_releg and a info_color_slot_releg.
For example. I have added this for the relegation from 2nd Division down to the 3rd division:

908
info_slot_releg
18
908
info_slot_releg
19
908
info_slot_releg
20
908
info_color_slot_releg
18
908
info_color_slot_releg
19
908
info_color_slot_releg
20

Similarly to promote from 3rd Division I have added the following:

920
info_slot_promo
1
920
info_slot_promo
2
920
info_slot_promo
3
920
info_color_slot_promo
2
920
info_color_slot_promo
3

Note how I have missed out the color slot for promo at 1 because I want to keep the color for the champion different to the others.

Also remember Division 6 don’t add the relegation parts.

Now I’m going to test by running through a season into season 2 to check the teams I expect are promoted and relegated…Tested for a few seasons and all working as expected.

Finally we add the playoffs…

Previously we removed the playoffs for Germany which were using competion ids 21 and 22 so we can re-use these.

I’m just going to add one playoff as an example which can be replicated if you want to. I am going to add a playoff between Ligue 2 and the 3rd division. I have put the playoff tournament at the bottom of the Germany nation in compdata so mine looks like this:

930
3
C21 TrophyName_Abbr15_21
840
931
4
S1 FCE_Setup_Stage
930
932
4
S2 FCE_Setup_Stage
930
933
4
S3 FCE_Promotion_Playoff_Final
930
934
5
G1
933

I need to add a reference to the start of the tournament in compids so I have added 930 to compids

I need to add the following lines to settings to show how the tournament works:

930
info_league_promo
17
930
info_league_releg
2012
930
asset_id
21
930
comp_type PLAYOFF
930
match_matchimportance
100
930
info_prize_money_promo
600000
931
match_stagetype SETUP
932
match_stagetype SETUP
932
advance_calccompavgs
1
933
match_stagetype KO2LEGS
933
match_matchsituation FINAL
933
rule_allowadditionalsub on

We need to add lines to advancement to state where the teams are coming from. This should be the 3rd place team in division 3 and the 18th placed team in division 2 so I have added these lines:

908
18
934
1
920
3
934
2

I also want to go back to settings and change those positions to show promotion_poss and relegation_poss like they did before:

908
info_color_slot_promo_poss
5
908
info_slot_releg_poss
16
908
info_slot_releg
17
908
info_slot_releg
18
908
info_color_slot_releg_poss
16
908
info_color_slot_releg
17
908
info_color_slot_releg
18

and

920
info_slot_promo
1
920
info_slot_promo
2
920
info_slot_promo_poss
3
920
info_color_slot_promo
2
920
info_color_slot_promo_poss
3

No changes are required in initteams,weather,tasks,objectives.

To standings we need to add slots for the playoff game which is compdata reference 934 for me:

934
0
934
1

And we need to add a schedule line for the 2 legs of the playoff like this…(it must come after the end of the season)

933
507
1
1
1
2000
933
510
2
1
1
2000

I also added a forcecomp line to both Division 2 and the 3rd division so the player can see it on their tournament list when they are in either of these tournaments:

906
schedule_forcecomp
930

and

918
schedule_forcecomp
930

Now I am going to test that it works as expected and the team who loses the playoff goes into the 3rd division. And the team who wins goes into the 2nd division.

It all worked. Hopefully you were able to follow the tutorial. My compdata files for this example are here if you need to check them:

https://dailybeef-fifa.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/Project-FrenchExplansionv1-Compdata.zip

I encounter a problem, everything worked, i saw the playoff in my competitions list but when i re-tested on another game, the playoff just vanished and i didn't changed the code
I just changed the playoff logo (which isn't referenced in logos so it was the "undefined" logo) and that's all. So i'm really confuse, i just checked on all compdata files but everything is ok :/

Make sure you are in one of the leagues which uses it and that you have the forcecomp line added just below assetid for each of those leagues

Rizzaldio · Mar 23, 2023

For testing purposes it should appear at the very start of the season. Tested it a few times on mine and it’s always there

Apollo404 · Mar 23, 2023

Everything is ok, i see the schedule_forcecomp under id 17 and 66, everything is ok in advancement, same for compobj so idk...
And yes is take a 3rd division :/

Rizzaldio · Mar 23, 2023

Can you check the following and let me know the outcome of each test.

1)Test 1st season starting with a 2nd division team - see if it appears

2)Test 1st season starting with 3rd division and see if it appears.

3) Test running through into second season. In the seconds season check that the leagues all have the correct number of teams.

I’m unavailable tonight so there is no rush on this. Backup the files you have any try having a play around with things if you want. It’s a long learning exercise but you might discover some things whilst you are doing it.

I’m going to start building a website/resource tomorrow if anybody is finding this interesting and wants to contribute. I’m thinking a big database full of guides/instructions and assets so people can find things easily without searching around so much
