.cmp files

I have been having problems creating .cmp files.When I create them, the kits do not show up when I open the file to check it.I have clicked the selector button to ensure that the kits and minikits show up in the file,but they are not showing up as .fsh files in the .cmp zip file. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you get it fixed.

Maybe that is the problem AsmodaiPlay when this happened to me the game crashed do not know though. Try deleting FIFA08 from my Documents and see again if it is playing properly.

My question now. I tried sponsors patch I did everything as said I saved in CM but no luck in the game. The sponsors are the same but in CM i see the new sponsors from the patch. Also I have downloaded greek league superpatch I installed it I can play it but I cannot make any changes with CM since the teams are not there!

I'll try but it was only a problem with certain teams, not all of them.

Edit: still didn't work but it crashed at a different loading stage. The loading bar was filled more this time.

The only 3rd kit limitation (as far as I know) is when you assign a third kit with an ID higher than 127 (in the rewards table), the game will crash when you try to unlock it.

If you have a crash while loading the game, 99% it is a graphic object. Help yourself, change them one by one until you find it.

I've decided to start again with a clean fifa file and patch some of my old squads e.t.c. how do i reset the database, i heard you've got to do something to the zdata files?

bohemio- do you have more than 30 players in your team?

Crash in careers are a different story. Generally they are not related with graphics object like it is for a crash in kick-off mode. Possible causes are:
the tournament structure
young players assigned to a team in your db
less than 16 or more than 30 players in a team
more than 60 players globally playing for your team from when the career started
...and many other I guess.
Try to explore your career with Memory Manager and discover what is happening

The database is not related with zdatas, simply replace it with a backup copy

Hi there guys i have a problem.

I started playing with Ronaldo's face in my fifa 08 and i f***d something up :d
I deleted the default face and i don't know how to get it back.

Is it possible to open Euro 2008 database and get it from there? Or maybe get somehow the default textures?

cheers and thanks!

thats the problem, i haven't got one, but i heard if you deleted the zdata files and then reinstalled they would reset. Or at least a similar method.

Use Dbmaster and check if the formation is assigned properly, check the column defaultformation of table teams and the column formation of table teamwrite.

I tried sponsors patch I did everything as said I saved in CM but no luck in the game. The sponsors are the same but in CM i see the new sponsors from the patch.

Are you continuing a previously saved career ?

Also I have downloaded greek league superpatch I installed it I can play it but I cannot make any changes with CM since the teams are not there!

They must be there, be sure you are openening the correct database if you have more then one in you system.

thx friend a try to do that

By the way just for the record i've managed to reset my database without a back up copy. What i did was use filemaster to delete everything (i backed up first just in case) and then i reinstalled fifa, opened cm08 and everything was default. I had previously tried copying the db file from the fifa08 disk but this didn't work, so i think there must be more to it than simply replacing the db file as that didn't work for me.

The teams that i had problems with are now ok.

Hi,
I have a question about team "Prestige". When we were creating new teams we gave them a default rank (e.g. 2 stars as prestige) when we want to change it with "Creation Master" the changes does not shown in the game, what should we do?

 

[sotigris]

Are you continuing a previously saved career ?

No I am not but ok this doesnt matter now since I wont Install them.

They must be there, be sure you are openening the correct database if you have more then one in you system.

Well I am opening C\program files\ea sports\fifa08 i think it is the right one but no teams there....

Thanks in advance!!!
