Hey everyone,
Not sure if this has been discussed in the past but I've noticed when assigning commentary names via CM that there are IDs that are skipped over....I mean Audio IDs that are not even showing up in the table but obviously they must have been used at some point in the past (in older FIFAs)! For instance the commentary ID table reads as:
900001
900002
900003
900005
900006
900008
900009
900010
900011
900014
Notice something?
So I was curious to find out for instance if ID 90004 or ID 900012 would give me a commentary name in-game when assigning it to some player - just to test it out. Now of course I first had to add the ID back into the "commentarynames" tables of the DB using DBmaster. So I would just add entries like "90004 with commentarystring "a", 9007 with name "b", etc etc. And with "Commentarystarting" column I would just some low number (but it doesn't seem to matter). See here:
Then I would load the db in CM and assign those IDs/entries to several players of one team, e.g. Zimbabwe (in skoczeks NT patch) -->
I assigned several of such IDs to all Zimbabwe player who do not have a commentary name yet. Then I saved and regenerated and played a match with Zimbabwe using Clive Tyldesley & Andy Townsed as commentators. And guess what??? Commentary names for those IDs/player do get called!! It's just hard to figure out sometimes what exactly the names are....Clive seems to have a strange pronouncation sometimes. Anyway, this is what I have figured out so far what the actual names for the hidden IDs are! -->
(Please note: I've completely gone by sound/pronouncation, so I'm not sure about the spelling and sometimes even the actual sound.)

I've only gotten up to 900118 because this is very time consuming (but also a lot of fun/excitment, waiting for "new"/unknown player names to be called out during a test game!), there are many more "missing IDs"! I mean the last audio ID entry that's actually in the DB is 928558! And the last one before that is 928228!. Now I'm not sure if any IDs between 928228 and 928558 will give us commentary names too as I haven't tested this yet but from the beginning of the list (900001-900118), as outlined above, I can already confirm that we have many missing commentary names that work in-game!
Now: This only seems to work with Clive Tyldesley & Andy Townsed!
There's only a few IDs that do not get called by them (900004,900007 etc) . Whereas with the other commentators, there's nothing at all happening. I have tested the IDs out with Martin Tyler & Alan Smith,the German commentators and the Italian commentators. All resulted in complete zilch,nothing,nada! I assume this is because Clive Tyldesley & Andy Townsed have been around much longer in the Fifa series and it seems that those botched IDs got botched because most of the players assigned with those IDs were not in the game anymore. Maybe some really old/outdated players like Fifa early 2000s or later 90s?? I'nm just speculating but would make sense.....however, it seems that not all of these commentary names are "new" and "re-usable" names but actually some names that do exisit in the recent official table - but apparently just got a new ID. For instance Hernandes or Fonseca. But these are just a few. To me it seems that the biggest chunk of those hidden IDs are actually re-usable/re-assignable.! (Newer players with the same surnames or players of teams/lower leagues that were never part of the Fifa series but are in the various patches
)
Now can someone or several ones please continue with this work?? I've been busy making stadiums and faces and all kinds of editing and I think it's better if I can focus on that and leave this simpler but time consuming work to others. As it doesn't really require any special skills or know-how. Pretty much anyone could do this. Just use the method I outlined above! And please post your results here! (And of course, make a back-up of your db first!)
It would be really great to finally add more commentary names to the game even though this may only work with Clive Tyldesley & Andy Townsed. (However, who knows what will happen with IDs towards the end of the table?) But to me that's totally fine because at least as far as International matches are concerned (and thus skoczek's NT patch for instance) I mostly use Clive & Andy anyway - because they really are the best for that! They use the country names ("Free kick conced to Ghana" ,"Honduras got themselves a corner", etc), they call out plenty more commentary names to begin with and they actually do have a lot of variety the longer you play and the more diverse the situations are. (With clubs however I do think that Martin Tyler & Alan Smith are better as they have season progress commentary)
Thanks folks!
p.s.: I will do some more testing probalby later today but I really am not planning to spent further time on this as exciting as this is! I'm engaged in boosting the African teams and AFCON 2019 in skoczekz NT patch, for instance I've been converting/doing some Egyptian stadium that were used for the AFCON. So far I've done Al Salam stadium and Ismailia! Not 100% finished yet but things are looking good.
I'm also working on tournament dressing and maybe even AFCON specific scoreboards/overlay. And some other stuff, maybe I will even realease my own african patch?? I hope skoczek wouldn't mind. But we'll have to see, hopefully I can find the time to post about this soon with results. Please understand - I'm very focused on spending time and energy on actually creating and editing stuff instead of discussing around here on this forum - so apologies also to all the ones who have been PMing me! I just don't have the time to take care of those at the moment.
