I'm not sure if this is the proper thread (apologies to the mods if it isn't) but does anyone know of any python script or some alternative way to copy indices between models? I know the right person to shed some light on the subject is the master Rinaldo himself but it's hard to catch him on the forums... Any ideas, guys?

Many thanks in advance :)

Hi, i found after installing fifa 16 and CM16, that the actual databases seem sort of hidden. These are normally under game\data\db somewhere.
It becomes an issue as CM16 van not find a DB to upload: i cant find it back and select it from the game folders. I assume this is standard when you install. How do you editors do this? How have you made the DB files in the fifa 16 folders visible so they can be loaded in CM16?
Click to expand...

1. Download CG file explorer 16
2. It will ask you to open your fifa 16 main folder.
3. Go to data_startup > data > db and select fifa_ng_xxx files.
4. Click "extract selected"

I inserted the latest squads via the online update tab in CM16. But I had too many players, players who were deleted in previous updates and they don't belong to a team, not even in free agents... Pretty annoying when I play a CM :) do you know what the problem might be?

There aren't many ways around that issue. You have to either create the teams those players belong to or have them stashed in the free agents section I'm affraid

BTW, do any of the coder/more seasoned modders here know how are the rx3 filetypes referenced or identified in the various Creation Master libraries? If you could get the current tools to work with the indices found on all NG fifa titles' models it would be easier to cross convert files and also get access to some of the latest scanned faces... (currently in use in FO3 using the Fifa 12/13 impact engine and head Topology) For example, I believe the current iteration of FO3 has a scanned face for Neymar and the previous FO3 versions used the same kind of head geometry as Fifa 14/15/16

EDIT: Does anyone know how the clubcommentarynames work? I mean how their ID's are connected to the team ID's?

Thanks in advance :)

What is the best tool for basic db editing?

Ok, there's probably a thread already on this subject, but I've been searching for a bit and haven't really found anything. What I have found has often been fairly contradictory or unclear to a newbie such as myself.

CM16 has become slightly buggy and editing tends to lead to lots of crashing career mode - so I'm looking for another tool that can do the same stuff I used to do with CM - transfers, season updates (relegation/fixture lists), player attributes, kits. I don't do too much, and it's only for offline career mode.

I tried CG file explorer, but there's a pop up that gives instructions I don't really understand - a bunch of stuff you have to do for the program to work, but it's a little beyond me.

I tried i86, but again, I can't really find a clear explanation of how it works (this is entirely likely the result of my limited understanding of editing/coding). Also, I keep screwing up and causing "unhandled exceptions".

Does DB15 work for Fifa16? Is that the simplest one to use?

Also, on a slightly different note, when I have downloaded db of roster updates there are teams with blank names, no players, or a bunch of extra teams, double named leagues (korean league with chinese teams...) should I delete those with CM (if I'm still using it?) What are those strange, blank teams?!?!?

Thanks in advance and apologies if my question raises the ire of longtime editors.

You haven't read enough.

DBM 16 is the database editor.

CM 16 damages the schedule text of the compdata folder, back that up prior to
editing and you won't have any career mode crashes.

All the information is available in multiple forums across soccergaming.com.

I know! You're right, I keep trying to get ahead of the curve and just can't seem to get my head around all the details (I am not a very mathematically minded person). Over the years I've learned a little bit, but it's slow going...

So, before saving my CM16 edits, I should make a copy (pretend I'm a small child) of schedule.txt from compdata folder and then after saving put this backed up verson back where I got it from? Won't that undo my edits?

The problem is that I rarely find the correct search terms - I have to guess at stuff and sometimes I'm lucky.

What about hose weird inconsistencies in the various db available around the web? Should I delete or just leave well enough alone? The last one left me with weird issues when setting up champions league in career mode start menu.

Thanks for the help/advice/quick response!

Back up the entire compdata folder before making any edits not just the schedule text.

As far as databases I have no idea what is floating around out there on the internet, I do know that I have converted the EA Squads file for the 15th of July in my mod thread.

That is the database I use.
