This project is where legends are added to the game as new/future Regens, initially I had it working in FM21

But due to SI changes it was not working in FM22, they blocked some files, but I have ran tests and it seems to be working in FM 23 👍

it will depend on the various nations when the intake of regens happens in game it could be a year after start date

 [This is not placed in your editor data folder it is not a FMF or XML file]

 

The file is an edt file so it is placed  here- 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2023\data\database\db\2300\edt\permanent

 

YOU ALSO NEED TO ADD THIS TO THE 2330 AND 2340 UPDATES TOO-[and any future new games eg FM24]

NB You need to start a new save for this to work

 

you can edit[use notepad++] the file to suite your needs perhaps add yourself/anyone as a future regen  so add/remove as you wish

 

I will show how its done in the next few posts

 

This is not to be posted on any other sites without my permission 

 

 

There is the option to add - minus values for PA instead of fixed values eg you could try -9 instead of a fixed 180 etc etc I have added the top 3 players in the file  with -minus PA and they do work in game

Quote

 

I am once again sharing this file with the community here

 

further testing is needed by you  on things like this minus PA  you can try this yourself and report back

 

note this file I worked on FOR FM21[didnt work in FM22] 

 

so the year of births should be made later if you want these legends to start as youth players later in game I would say 2006/ 2007 [and keep increasing the year to stagger the intake so if you dont want them all in the game at the same time] as a starting year in 2023 making them 16 

 

NB if and when there are any updates to the game the file will have to be added to DB update folders eg

 

Football Manager FM23

2300

2310

2330

2340

 

Football Manager FM24

2400

2430

I have the regens at the club they started at as a youth player[ if they still exist] and the favourite  club based on where they played most games

 

There are 113 ex legends of the game added plus I have added Ethan Mbappé as a test as he is missing in the default DB - he does join PSG U18 in 2023 using this file

The options that can be added to the regen are below and to give an idea how to set up a future regen/ player- 

 

NB DO NOT USE ALL CAPS APART FROM "DETAILED_FUTURE_REGEN" eg city should be "Oslo" and not "OSLO"

 

How to set up a new regen

 

"DETAILED_FUTURE_REGEN" "First Name" "Common Name" "Last Name" "Birth date(dd/mm/yyyy)" "Nation (first nationality)" "Favourite Team" "Ethnicity" "Skin Tone" "Hair Colour" "Height (in cm)" "Weight (in kg)" "Preferred Foot" "Preferred Position" "Favourite Number" "Birth City""CA""PA""Club ID"

 

so as an example of how Zbigniew Boniek would look like as a future regen[Note the common name is not used and is this field ""  between the  first name and last name]-

 

"DETAILED_FUTURE_REGEN" "Zbigniew" "" "Boniek" "03/03/2006" "787" "1468" "0" "2" "2" "181" "76" "2" "ATTACKING_MIDFIELDER_CENTRAL" "11" "Bydgoszcz" "105" "170" "1468"

 

And this is Zico added-note the common name is added -

 

"DETAILED_FUTURE_REGEN" "Arthur Antunes" "Zico" "Coimbra" "03/03/2002" "1651" "322" "1" "6" "2" "172" "70" "2" "ATTACKING_MIDFIELDER_CENTRAL" "10" "Rio de Janeiro" "135" "-10" "322"

 

It will look like this in the edt file

Here are the values that can be used for Ethnicity, Skin Tone, Hair Colour, Preferred Foot and Position:

 

Ethnicity:

Unknown/random = -1

Northern europe = 0

Mediterrean/hispanic = 1

North african/middle eastern = 2,

African/caribbean = 3,

Asian = 4,

South east asian = 5,

Pacific islander = 6,

Native american = 7,

Native australian = 8,

Mixed race white/black = 9

East asian = 10

Skin tone:

a value of 1-20, with 1 being the lightest and 20 being the darkest

Hair colour:

Unknown/random = 0,

Blond = 1,

Light brown = 2,

Dark brown = 3,

Red = 4,

Black = 5,

Grey = 6,

Bald = 7

Preferred foot:

Right only = 0,

Left only = 1,

Right preferred = 2,

Left preferred = 3,

Both = 4

Positions:

GOALKEEPER, DEFENDER_LEFT_SIDE, DEFENDER_RIGHT_SIDE, DEFENDER_CENTRAL, MIDFIELDER_LEFT_SIDE, MIDFIELDER_RIGHT_SIDE, MIDFIELDER_CENTRAL, ATTACKING_MIDFIELDER_LEFT_SIDE, ATTACKING_MIDFIELDER_RIGHT_SIDE, ATTACKING_MIDFIELDER_CENTRAL, ATTACKER_CENTRAL

 

 

 

 

 

brilliant idea. Does this work with saves? or new games only?

Hi

you need to start a new save

Thank you.

Hi! My regen ends up in other teams than Vålerenga and isnt born in Oslo. Do you know where it went wrong?

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

looks fine apart from you used CAPS for Oslo cant see that being a big deal...... but obviously it is lol!

as his place of birth changes in game as it isnt recognizing OSLO, and then the game might be starting him at the bigger clubs in that nation😉

 

so thanks for updating the thread I will add this to instructions now

 

so your regens appeared but at wrong side - try changing to Oslo

 

Can I ask you why you dont want people to share this? Feels like it could be gamechanger for a lot of people. Feel free to delete this comment if its the wrong place to ask.

I am sharing it I have created it and posted it for you and others to use, and I have actually posted it on other sites that I am involved with closely

but due to the fact, and I fully understand and respect their position some site Admins do not want threads with links to here to download the file from[ they want direct downloads only on their sites] so I havent the time to do all I do here and maintain threads on several other sites, so I have taken those threads down.

 

Also what I have stated is I do not want it posted on other sites that is my prerogative it is my file and mainly due to this....

 

I have shared many files over the years[some complex structures that have taken hours to construct] and then had some users download them and then pass it on as being their work on other sites. This file has taken many hours to construct as there is no guide or input from SI there has been a lot of trial and error to find what does and doesnt work.

 

As I have outlined this is a project I am sharing with the FMRTE community something I have been involved with and passionate about for many years, so its a bonus for users here.

cheers
