Okay, I found out what I was doing wrong.
I was using the Kit Regenerator to regenerate the files (which was what the instructions over at Sweetpatch and the top post here said), when it did not do anything.
You must use the standard i68 Regenerator to regenerate your files, NOT the KitRegen, or else the patch will not be applied. Fair warning. When I did this, the patch worked normally.
By the way, it is a good patch. The only things that I did not like were:
1. the teams from Africa, Asia and Oceania got all lumped in leagues representing their respective Champions Leagues, which is confusing (I mean, getting an Egyptian team from the Angola block, or a Japanese team from the Thailand block, that sounds a bit cumbersome) - no offense or anything, I just did not like the way they were organized. There should be bigger leagues for the main countries, e.g. Egyptian Premier League, J.League, and so on. As for the teams from countries with no representative leagues, they should be transferred into the Rest of World block.
2. no new national teams were added (there should be at least the teams that appeared in the 2010 World Cup and did not appear in the game).
3. the badges of the teams that were not licensed before came unchanged. But this I can fix.
4. some countries really should have lower divisions (like Brazil, which has some traditional teams in its Serie
, instead of only keeping the ones that came with the game.
All of these are things that had been addressed in previous CEP versions (I actually only had the one for FIFA 08, but it was the best patch ever for that game). But these are just small things, considering the magnitude of this project. All things considered, great work with this CEP, darkvajo, regularcat and everyone else who contributed. Please do not give up for the sake of idiots. Deep down inside, they only want to see you fail. Do not give them this pleasure.
Just two questions:
1. If I edit the tournament structures, does it affect the functioning of the game? The only gripe I had about the CEP 08 is that, when I tried to edit the Copa do Brasil, I could no longer play the Tournament modes in FIFA 08.
2. As said before, I miss a few leagues in the game. If I download a league patch, how will it affect CEP? Will there be any database override?
All in all, all I have to say is:
Keep up the good work.
