Rinaldo,

I've created numerous cups and the like for Scotland and some don't turn up in game. Is there a likely reason - ist there a limit to how many leagues/cups you can add?

 

[Mr.Crosas]

Its okay, you can play .

Ok, perhaps this subject has already been addressed, but it seems to me when a tournament is added that it messes up something to do with the tournaments of the Czech Leagues and the Irish league.

When the game is installed normally it does not crash in in thee t tournament selection screen when scrolling through the countries. before selecting the specific tournament. But when I add a tournament. It crashed when scrolling through.

When in creation master, I can see that then the Czech league and the Irish league say, "conflict with friendly tournament" or something like that. So then I change the tournament id to one that doesn't do that, it will not crash when I go in game.

The only problem I have with this is when people import new tournaments, they may have problems with the game crashing on that particular screen, and it some cases will prevent them from playing the new tournament.

This I don't beleive is glich in creation master, it has something to do with the game itself when a new tournament is added, and has nothing to do with the data of the tounament structure itself, but how the game interprets this data.

Anybody have the same experience???

Are you dealing with this in tournament mode or manager mode, or both? It could be that you have some tournament with a higher tournament id than 96, which is the European Champions cup. Those tournaments will NOT show up in manager mode the first season. But they should show up in tournament mode.

So where do they not show up?

Hi man,

I think you didn't try the following (hope it helps):

- open explorer.
- from tools menu, choose folder options.
- in the tab named view, uncheck the check box beside "Hide extensions for known file types".
- rename your ".Bak" file to ".db".
- Enjoy.

BASSIO.

Well, you only need to install .net framework 2.0.
But also make sure you are having the fifa directory in the install dir registry field (not a ".") .

To my knowledge, there is a limit for tournaments that can appear the first year of career (only tournaments with id lower than 96 can appear). In tournament mode you can have as many tournaments as you want as well as the second year of career.

cmp files are simply a zip file. So you can open it and check whatever is inside.

Hi friend, I don't think I can help you a lot, btw this is the situation: for FIFA 07 we found a list of tournament id that was "damned". I mean the tournament was perfect but the game crashed: tis list included 76 and 88 that in FIFA 08 are instead used by standard tournament. CM08 still warns them as "damned" though probably they no longer are. In addition this year we discovered that every tournament with id = 15 + 16 * N is going to conflict with friendly matches. So the tournament works fine if you do not play friendly matches but if you do, FIFA 08 crashes.
The problem you describe seems to be something different but I can't figure out the reason.

Hi guys

Not sure if there is already an answer to this anywhere, but, I am trying to install a cmp file (as i have done many times), but, this is pretty big, and, seems to freeze, on the adding leagues/tournaments part. Is this normal? I mean, does it take a hell of a long time to import a tournament?

yes, specially when you are having a low spec PC.

 

[outlaw69uk]

yes, specially when you are having a low spec PC.

Ah, thanks. Its not a low spec machine.

initial cmp file was around 300Mb, kept throwing up unknown exception error, same with onethat is 60Mb.

Is there a file size limit for a cmp file?

 

[apollox]

When it gives a limit is this very high because I have made for some weeks a cmp File which were over 1,6GB big

well, first of all, where did you get those cmp files? (i.e. are you sure they are not corrupted ?)

if so, Try to import a small cmp file (for example: only import a file containing one team).

if the problem still exists, then tell us which version are u using so we can investigate in that problem.

Hi Bassio,

Smaller ones are working fine. The files are Chuckinhos Scottish one from this site
http://www.soccergaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152317&page=10

The initial one I tried was the complete patch, after that, it is in 4 parts now. The 2 small files installed fine. The players/teams and Cups cmp files threw up errors

I think I am using the latest version of CM08

Creation Master 08 Release 1.03

Appreciate the help, am new to this type of patching. well, fairly new to Fifa, so, m hoping its an easy mistake am making
