How To Make Coeff Files ?

[OCAIOLUIS]

Hello everyone. I'm new at making kits for FIFA18 and would like to know how you guys make the coeffs for the kits. I've found some tutorials on YouTube but they just explain how to export as dds and stuff. I also tried to search here on the forum, but got no results found.
Thanks for the attention.

Hello everyone.

Welcome. The general rules here regarding "How do I...?" questions are to ask/PM/start a conversation with one to the modders, in this case kit modders. There are a dozen or so kit modders you can contact. This forum gets dozens of new members each week; if everyone who joined then posted their single questions, the forum would be chaos.

Once you're modding kits and working with the tools, and have questions about a specific problem you are running into, you are asked to post those questions in one of the active kit threads, and someone who is working with kits will usually help you out. If you get no response, then it's perfectly okay to start a thread and ask. And all individual questions of that sort go in the General Forum, not the Editing Forum or the Mods Forum. The General Forum is reserved specifically for single questions on any modding topic, and general conversation regarding the game. Have fun.

EDIT: BTW moderators and you may have missed this, I just looked and there are three other "How do I...?" and "Where is...?" question threads on the first page of the Editing Forum that have not been relocated to the General Forum. I stated two years ago that the where-to-post rules are confusing already to new members. But when you don't relocate the threads and put them where they belong, it only causes more confusion. Thanks.

Oh, I'm so sorry, didn't mean to post on the wrong area. May we delete our comments our wait for the moderator to relocate?

Wasn't trying to make you feel bad, no problem. Moderators will relocate if/when they feel the need. Hope someone answers you, I would answer but modding kits is not my specialty.

You know about CGFE right?

Ok, let's see, thanks for the advice.

Yes, I do. I'm currently using it to modify all kits, team names, league assets and etc. Just wondering about the logic of coeff texture when I'm making my own kits haha

 

[bangus]

I'm currently using it to... modify team names

How you doing that? Many people have asked, some have answered, but I've never read a clear explanation. Thanks.

The process that I found that works for me is the following. I'm going to explain the most detailed way that I can:

Always make a backup of Data folder

Modifying team names

So as the Brasileirão is not fully covered, 4 teams are missing. And as Brasileirão has a different schedule (JAN 2018 - DEC 2018) from the European season (SEPT 2017 - MAY 2018), 4 teams that are already on the original game are not updated because they were relegated.

In total, I'm adding 8 teams to the Brazilian League. In this guide I will change Coritiba, one of the relegated teams.

Spoiler: Current teams

In this image, we can see 3 teams which I already have changed everything and Coritiba, that will change now.

Internacional (blue box): It was the KS Cracovia.
Flamengo (pink box): It was Zagłębie Lubin.
Corinthians (purple box): It was the Wisła Płock.

Coritiba (red box): I'm gonna change it to Paraná Clube. They are both from the same city (this is helpful), which makes things easier.


1. Change the league of the team

Just if you want to add new teams to the league using the CGFE tool. (DA -> Trophy -> Desired League -> Add/replace team)
e.g.: I changed some Poland teams to the Brazilian League, as the league was missing 4 teams.

Spoiler: Changing the league of the team

2. Change all the kits BEFORE changing the name.

I why, but everytime that I tried to change the name before changing the kits after changing the name of the team, files got messy and my game wouldn't start/would crash as soon as I choose the team in the kick-off match. I realised that the only team that worked when I was testing was the one who I didn't change the name, only the kit.
Therefore, I got this habit of changing the kit before changing anything. I don't know why this happens, but since it's working for me, I'm doing this whole process.

Paraná Clube kits are already there. You can see that the name on the kit is still Coritiba.
Thanks to @decoruiz for the amazing kits.

Spoiler: Changing Kits

(Perhaps the issue has to do with the Database name of the Team with is linked to the KIT ID on another sheet on the same database. So when you change the name before, the moment that you change the kit it will unlink these two. I'm just guessing)

3. Actually changing the name

So now I'm going to change everything: name, minikits, team logo, stadium name, rival...
Just change the strings. It's important to pay attention on the number of chars: some support up to 15, 10, 7, just pay attention.

Spoiler: Before and After

Save and Create the mod.

Let's launch the game...

Spoiler: Final Result

yep, i know, my squads aren't updated yet. But the update is coming soon.

There you go!

edit.: (If you want to be precise, you also need to edit the cityid on the Database. If you want, I can also show how.)

Any doubts?

+100 likes. DB editing I know about, thanks.

This vid has info on creating coefficients:

Also: fantastic guide! I want to change a team name and will do so following your guide. Thanks for that.

If you can explain how to change cityid too that'd be great. Thanks!

 

[OCAIOLUIS]

I'll check this out @msrajjc2 , Thanks!
For you, for @bangus and other users that may come here:

I forgot to disclaim that is very important to backup your Data folder, as if you guys make something wrong (as I did before doing theses steps) you will be able to recover your game files.

@msrajjc2, I will show you on the next reply.

Thanks!

To change the city id, it's simple.

1. Identifying the cityid corresponding City.

If you're changing the cityid of a team which is from the same city as another team you know, you can just copy and replace the id on the next step.
But if you aren't, you need to find it on the database.

1.1. Go ahead and open the Legacy Files/data/loc/ and then choose your language database.
1.2. Select sourcetext and type the name of the city. You can also select stringid, put it on alphabetic order by clicking on it and search for CityName. This way, all city names will appear on a list.

2. Changing team's cityid.

Now go to data/db/fifa_ng_db.db and select the teams datasheet. Select teamname and search for your team. Go over to cityid and place the id of the city there. Save DB and there it is!

Thanks for this great guide. It has been very helpful.

I've managed to do almost everything I wanted - but with one exception.

For some reason, I cannot change the following:

• Kit make (collar type basically)
• Jersey name colour
• Jersey number colour
• Shorts number colour

Regardless of what changes I make, they do not appear in game.

Have you any idea why?
