"FEEL THE GAME" GAMEPLAY PATCH 2005 help needed

[luis.miguel]

Hi guys,

atm i am working on new gameplay patch for 2005..

on the one hand EA did some nice improvements to AI attack style so its not necassary to have a first look their but...

the screwd up the Defense Line... =(
the mostly love to stand near the penalty box and dont play with the offside trap like on real soccer...

i like to change this but without any luck coz EA canceld the old function to improve this from Fifa 2004... could be found in


** old example **
Cpudiff.ini
CPU_MARKDIST_HALF = 50
CPU_MARKDIST_THIRD = 20
CPU_MARKDIST_18YARDS = 12
CPU_MARKDIST_GOAL = 8
**

so my question gameplay modifiing veterans is.. how can we change this in 2005 ?

i discoverd most of the defense functions r now in the ini.big/ai.ini

**new**
// defensive positioning adjustment tuning
DEFADJ_MAX_SHIFT = 0.5
DEFADJ_MIN_SHIFT = -0.3
DEFADJ_SHIFT_RATE = 0.8

// tuning parameters for FindBestIntercept (used to determining who should mark the ball carrier)

FBI_DEF_BONUS_MAX = 0.4
FBI_DEF_BONUS_RANGE = 0.25
FBI_DEF_BONUS_LINE = -1.0
FBI_MID_BONUS_MAX = 0.8
FBI_MID_BONUS_RANGE = 0.5
FBI_MID_BONUS_LINE = -0.4
FBI_FWD_BONUS_MAX = 0.8
FBI_FWD_BONUS_RANGE = 0.6
FBI_FWD_BONUS_LINE = 0.4
FBI_LINE_BONUS_MULTIPLIER = 20.0
FBI_ANGLE_PENALTY_SECONDS = 20.0
FBI_LEAD = 32.0
FBI_SPEEDFACTOR = 0.1
FBI_HYSTERESIS_SECONDS = 0.003
FBI_SECOND_MARKER_THRESHOLD = 125.0
**
i played a bit with its values without any luck to get the defense line a littler closer to attackin forwards esp. in counterattck situations...

if you found anything out ..or have a guess what these values change plz post it here...

also open for discussion , why does this function does absoluty nothing =(

//**************************
//Marking Tuning Values
//**************************
MARK_BALL_TARGETDIST_WEIGHT = 0.01
MARK_BALL_FORMDIST_WEIGHT = 0.99
MARK_BALL_ANGLE_WEIGHT = 0.01

MARK_PLAYER_TARGETDIST_WEIGHT_NEAR = 0.01
MARK_PLAYER_FORMDIST_WEIGHT_NEAR = 0.99
MARK_PLAYER_TARGETDIST_WEIGHT_FAR = 0.01
MARK_PLAYER_FORMDIST_WEIGHT_FAR= 0.99

thx for help - even if only a few can understand this thread =(

is it possible to make:
-cpu make sub
-defend not sit too deep all the time

and if possible. please make a pop up that tell subsitution and also injury. i hate my player injured without my knowing

 

[Zhariken]

I have no problem adding a locale.ini, etc, to make refs/linesman appear, that sort of thing...

I also tried to add other settings to locale.ini (i.e. - i changed the injury settings, something easy to notice), but didn't see any difference.


In the past, I've tried to hex edit the ini.big, and while the game loaded properly, etc, I noticed no difference at all. (to be exact, I changed field size in ini.big, no change. I added field size to locale.ini, I see a change).

Any ideas?

 

[lil_kewell]

i hate it how EA leaves litle things like this that could be easily fixed.

CPU already makes subs, but I added this line to my locale.ini:

REFEREE_ENABLED = 1
LINESMEN_ENABLED = 1
DO_CPU_SUB = 1
CPU_SUB = 1

After the ball goes out of play, the game stutters for a second or two, that means a sub has been made and John Motson will announce it.


Suggestion for the gameplay patch: if there is a value on how often the CPU does dribbling tricks, could you drastically crank that up? Also would be nice to add more long shots. Thats all I am lacking

 

[juanmanuelsanchez]

well if there is anyone that thinks that Fifa's gameplay is not scripted then you are wrong everything comes to ini editing. I have seen them all and I think there is a good chance to make gameplay better, a lot better. You can control everything in INI files.


So I suppose is a matter of inverstigating... maybe a post in fifa editing forum could help.

 

[jefferson goh]

how u open INI file?

 

[WEWEWE]

lmao...
gameplay patch already? :-puke: FiFA

to Jeff,
u open ini file using ANY text editor..
be it, notepad, ms word, wordpad, vim, emacs... la la la

anyhow,

enjoy ur :drevil: fixed FiFA

 

[jefferson goh]

thx WEWEWE!!!

 

[Rocky]

already a gameplay patch for FIFA so sad

 

[sky.]

Envy already?

If PES4 is another crappy console to PC port like PES3, you guys can't even edit anything.

 

[WEWEWE]

lol.... maybe because we "don't" need to ..

a crappy game is the game that needs editing over and over again...

just like a bowl of soup, PES4 tastes just right so that we don't need to put any more seasoning on it..
whereas FiFA = a bowl of water and then the customers have to cook themselves..lol

I can't believe you actually said that. No game is perfect, you're lying to yourself.

 

[WEWEWE]

It's not perfect but it's good enough so that we don't have to change a thing

while on the other extreme, FiFA has more or less a jungle filled with gameplay patches

 

[Yellow'n'Green]

Why do you come on here WEWEWE?!

This is kinda off topic, but has anyone found a line yet that enables pitch wear. There's a paramter for it in the .exe (ie you should be able to enable it using a common.ini), but it doesn't work.

Thanks

My kind of guy there...

 

[Dimony]

hey i have read the posts here for adding in referee and enabling subs

ok so i tried to do that i tried changing it in the ini.big nothing happens

tried adding locale.ini, common.ini, aicpu.ini with those options in still nothing

tried adding a new directory as part of documentation in the ini.big suggests data/cmn/ai and adding the above said files in still nothing happens

I took care to edit ini.big with a TextPad because the game would not work if i simply changed it with notepad still no change

Can someone pls post a clear step by step directions to this?

 

[Yellow'n'Green]

You should be able to just put the common.ini in the main directory and it should work. There's a thread about how it works in this forum somewhere.

Is TextPad a hex editor? If not, you have to use a hex editor to edit anything in the ini.big. You need EA Graph to extract the ai.ini from the ini.big, then edit it with a hex editor, and then put it back into the ini.big file.

:Bow: Textpad

Unless there's a way to make players actually run without the ball (and therefore play as the tactical command "pressing" says) and to pass the ball where you want it to be passed and to shoot somewhere else than the computer wants, there's no point in trying to edit anything in this game.

And still there are some poor souls that think this is THE REAL FOOTBALL SIMULATION...

The first FIFA game in 1993 or was it 1994 was more realistic than this. And unlike this ridiculous creation IT WAS FUN!!!!!
