Creation Master 07 Released

[Rinaldo]

Rinaldo and anyone else who can answer to my question please, it would be grateful! So i edited a team's players attributes and saved it, but then when i went into the game the attributes weren't changed, they were the default ones.

I then went to "Load" and loaded "My sqauds" but teh attributes still didnt change. Anything else i do (from short sleeves i put him to long sleeves), that worked.. and the player was tehn wearing long sleeves.

But why don't the attributes change? Please.

You should know that CM07 editing and internal FIFA 07 editing (e.g. the use of My Squads) are incompatible

 

[F4rrukh]

Yup rinaldo, i figuered that out after some time, after posting.. so i deleted the my squads and it worked .

The reason why i didnt wanted to edit the attributes ingame was because when u edit something ingame for a player the commentator dosent say his name anymore for me.. donno why.

Anyways thanks for the reply Rinaldo.

Dear mate,

How can I change the final stadium of the Champions League?

I mean,it is originally set as Millenium Berlin,how can I get it change (e.g. Old Trafford).

I've tried to change it several times.

But next time when I opened the fifa.db again,it just converts back to the Berlin stadium!

A specific face appears only if the m228__###.o file is present but you say you have checked. Are loading a career saved before the changes ? Or maybe there is something wrong in the .o itself.

There are no saved careers in the game. I'm doing this on a fresh install, which is why I'm here asking you, cuz I have no idea what could be wrong.

I originally made the .o files for fifa 06 using Valdez's .o file and shaping the verteces. In order to get them to show in 06, I had to match the face type and hair type of each of the players whose heads I created with the face type and hair type of Valdez. If I didn't do that, then the heads wouldn't show. The heads appear fine in Fifa 06, and the textures too.

When I loaded the same .o files into 07, I couldn't use the same face type ID's because they belonged to Valdez, and in 07 Valdez has short hair, so the model is different. I spent many hours looking through the Zdatas to find a .o file whose number of verteces for head and hair matched the ones I already had. That player was ID# 4724. So I used OEdit to import all of the old .o files into a new .o file that I extracted from the Zdatas of Fifa 07. Then I matched the face type and hair type IDs with those of Player 4724, just like I did in Fifa 06, except that it's not showing the unique faces in 07.

As far as I can tell, theres nothing wrong with the .o files. OEdit renders them fine, and I get no errors. So I dont know what Im doing wrong

Can Any1 Tell Me Why When I Use Creation Master And Then Update Online Squads It Loses The Squads But When I Use Db Master And Change Amything Ie.balls Turf Pattern Kit Fonts Then Save Data It Works Fine With The Online Update.yet Arent They Just Updating The Same Fifa Database File?

 

[rodrommel]

Ok, I figured out what was wrong. Because all of these players were made originally in Fifa06, the player IDs changed.

What happened was that when CM imported the .c06 files, it assigned the players new ID's but didnt bother to change the ASSET ID number, and because CM doesnt seem to allow you to change ASSET ID numbers, I never realized they were different until I went in with DB Master and closely checked all the numbers and found that discrepancy. Just thought I should mentiont that in case you case you still have time to fix the import function for the new release

Yes, in CM07, the asset id is forced to be equal to the player id. This simplify many aspects of the program and should not be an heavy limitation but I forgot to mention it in the help.

It depends from the kind of changes you do.

This is (almost was) a bug.

 

[Tizmo]

a bug with the game or creation master?

[Tizmo]

[mutu_delpiero]

Great tool friend!Only i have a problem...you said that to transfer a player i must go to teams form-roster, but when i click on a player only let free button is active, the transfer button is inactive pls help, i'm using creation master 2.00...Thanks

 

[Tizmo]

you must set the filter to "all" on the left side of the screen.

 

[mutu_delpiero]

thanks man, but it is setted to all on the left side of the screen, and is not working, other ideas guys?

Thanks Rinaldo for providing us with such good tools.

What is needed to run CM version 2.0 perfectly with FIFA 07 ?

a fresh installation of FIFA 07
a network frameversion (which one ?)
and the CM 2.0

I don't want to mess around too much doing transfers and stuff - but does it work with the EA Transfer Patch or should I do these Transfers in the CM 2.0 on my own?

 

[StevePitts]

a fresh installation of FIFA 07

Not necessarily. CM07 will work with modified databases, although there is at least one out there (Korean??) that messes with the internal metadata and that may present problems.

a network frameversion (which one ?)

Easiest way to find out the answer to this is to install CM07 and then try to run it. It will tell you what is required. FWIW it works just fine for me and the latest version I have installed is v2.0.50727 (although I do have two earlier versions lurking around too).

does it work with the EA Transfer Patch

No. CM07 (in common with all the other editing tools I am aware of) only handles FIFA.DB and not the updated rosters file - PC_CL.BIN - introduced by the patch.

Rinaldo, I made a tournament like the Champions League (Qualifying Round + Group Stage + Knock Out). Everything works perfectly, but the game mix the groups what I've set. This wasn't a problem in the Tournament Master last year. Can I set which teams participate in a group?
