Classic Database Question

Hi Guys :33vff3o:

I'm currently creating a "classic database" with hundreds of classic players with realistic attributes + minipictures.

Up to now it's been just for my pleasure but what if want to make the database (and the minifaces in it) available on the internet ? What files should I upload other than the "classic" db files ?


BTW...do you like the idea ? Each team (well, not ALL the team, of course) would have their best players ever in their rosters (some current players will be erased, after all it's a classic database) and...some of them would be wonderkids with good potential, some other ones old-timer players who have reached their peak ! What do you think ?

Feedback me !


P.S. I'm the author of the "Legends Database" for Football Manager and, humbly, i think I have a good knowledge of classic football :)

Modders like Fidel and AndreaPirlo upload the db folder containing the two fifa_ng files, that's it. Nice project. I create my own teams/leagues using classic-style amalg rosters, like moving Beckham and Henry from the MLS (which I never play) back onto Man U and Arsenal.

The fact is that i'm putting NEW minifaces inside the database/game, and i thought it affected some other fifa file like data.big or whatever...

Anytime I've ever added new minifaces using CM 12, they've always attached to the new db files. Regardless, you can easily test that yourself. Test it using a new copy of your original FIFA 13 main files, add your edited db with the new minifaces, and see if they show up in-game.

EDIT: Brain hiccup there, if you're adding totally new graphics files you would need to include data folders/files.

The 2d heads are in the Game / data / ui / imgAssets / heads folder. You would have to include a folder with that path for your new player photos. That much I know.
