A Question for UK/European Based Modders

The Doctor76

In case you don't know, only the American versions of Fifa 13 are getting the snazzy new ESPN presentation. Everyone else will probably be stuck with the same generic rubbish we've had for two years.

So my question is: do you modders think you'll be able to provide the ESPN style, or even better a Sky Sports style based on the ESPN template?

Cheers. :)

what would it matter if the modder was uk/euro based ?

we are a community which means we edit for all continents.

im sure someone will make it happen.

i have to love being american we get the espn sb, we get the game 3 days earlier than euros & 75% of us dont even like the sport.

The ESPN scoreboard is the reason the file english_us.big and bh are included, there resides a file data/region/english_us.ini that includes the following text:

[LOCALE]
BROADCAST_GRAPHICS_KICKOFF_SPECIAL_ID = 1 // 0 – EA Sports, 1 - ESPN
BROADCAST_GRAPHICS_KICKOFF_GENERAL_ID = 0 // 0 – EA Sports, 1 – ESPN
BROADCAST_GRAPHICS_CAREER_GENERAL_ID = 0 // 0 – EA Sports, 1 - ESPN
BROADCAST_GRAPHICS_CAREER_SPECIAL_ID = 1 //0 – EA Sports, 1 - ESPN. Currently, in wipe data assets, only ID 1 (ESPN) has special leagues' assets, so please make sure this varible = 1, if you have values for BROADCAST_GRAPHICS_CAREER_SPECIALS_LEAGUE
BROADCAST_GRAPHICS_PC_SPECIAL_LEAGUES = 13,39,53 //Based producers requiremnet, the PC_SPECIAL_LEAGUES has been changed from only 39, to 13, 39 and 53
BROADCAST_GRAPHICS_SPECIAL_LEAGUES = 13,39,53
IS_NORTH_AMERICA=1

[REGION]
DEFAULT_REGION = eng,us

So I guess it will be pretty easy to make the game believe you are in NA.

indeed it will, but considering its already available for the epl (13) & bbva (53) as stated in the ini he doesnt need to have a mod its already available to him.

But it does check if it's North America.

yea but my point was he would most likely just have to add those commands to his regional ini file & he should be fine.

Yeah, my point all along, he is going to need a mod, a very small one but still.
What I was saying that it probably won't work by default.

OK, so can I get at that ini. easily, or do I need some program to open the big. file?

yes agreed, he can easily do it himself, he doesnt need a modder to do it for him.

file master 12, google it.

browse to fifa 13 install directory & click on english_us.big & export the ini file, then do the same for your region, gb.

then edit it & in the data folder create a folder called region & paste the edited ini in it.

then regenerate the bh files.

Yeah... I think probably, is quite easy...
but time...
is not so easy to find the time to do everything yourself :-(

I mean...
as soon as someone has done... and everything works fine,
he can kindly share the fruit of his labors, so that others can spend time
working on other things? :blush::innocent_smile_1:

Thanks in advance!

Ciaooooooooooooo!!!!

Ha! If I get it working, I will. I've often had errors similar to this one:



when working with File Master and Creation Master and have been unable to get round them. More likely, one of you will figure it out first! ;)

And what makes you think I've got any more time than you have? ;) For sure, I'll look into it because I'm sick of the default EA presentation, but I can't guarantee that I'll have the time, or be able to get it working. ;)

I do not think and I did not say that you have more time than me...
but we all have less time than it would take to be able
to do it all yourself... :innocent_smile_1:

I can not read the error message you posted. If is the same when you open FM, and when you open the CM could be a problem framework. All the tools by rinaldo (and mine too!) require the installation of the framework 4.

Ciaoo
