lagerstar Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hello, When editing players/staff, there are a lot of names that simply do not come up in the search facility, when there are names in game and even searchable in FMRTE. For example, I am mid-save and wanted to import some players/staff from a separate AFC Richmond save that I have - I wanted to change my chairperson to Rebecca Welton from the TV show, and even though there are players/staff searchable in FMRTE and in FM23 with the name Rebecca, I cannot find the name in FMRTE to change a person's name to. Is there a database of names in FMRTE that can be changed or updated? I know you can change a name to something else which edits every person with that name, but I don't want to do that. thanks, lagerstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 As far as I know this is a function that does not work still. You are trying to change Paul to Rebecca? If you do this everyone named Paul will become Rebecca in the game. This is a long requested feature but I think it is difficult to add properly or I am sure Braca would have added it by now.

culturedleftfoot Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 The feature to edit/change name just for one person has been requested vote for it here- However the fact you have Rebecca in your DB should be be showing as a change name option, thats not right as FMRTE reads your game data so it should be there I will @BraCa for some input. you could try the good old edt file add the chairman you want and then generate the current chairman to sell using FMRTE- but you need to start a new save @lagerstar PM me when free I may have a fix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Six, I know you can change the name itself, but will change all people with that name. If you click on the magnifying glass you can change that individual's name to something else, but it appears to be a database of names which does not contain everything in game.

culturedleftfoot Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Hopefully Braca will have some input on that I have tried an old method but it no longer works SI have changed something to stop it🤔 2 options do the edt file or use the pre game editor and change the chairperson directly, do the edit pre game- both would need you to start a new save 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culturedleftfoot Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 @lagerstar after trying my fix it didnt work due to changes SI have made however a look in FMRTE shows Rebecca Boch is set as a scout or physio, change her to chairman 20 you can then swap her directly with your current chair using swap staff She has to a chairman for it to work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagerstar Posted February 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Hey mate, not quite what I was after, but I really appreciate your help with this. I was only using Rebecca Boch as an example, as she I was unable to find the name Rebecca in a search to change name, when the name is in game. I could probably use what you've done though, so thank you! L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
