Nick's CM0102Patcher (New v2.25 version 08/04/23 13:55 GMT)

[Paky87]

Guys is there a way to change the starting year of a championship? Like swapping the start year of Russia (2023) for Northern Ireland (2022/23)?

Hello chaps, i have copied over everything and it runs in windowed or full mode, until i press 'Start new game' it loads up the first bar then shuts itself down every time.

Has anyone had this? Or can anyone p[point out what i am doing wrong please?

You can try after deleting game.cfg file.

Hi my fellows CM0102 compainers!
I have a question: i installed starter kit v.1.2.2 to more easily play, f.e., lussenhof DB, no fgn limit and some inflation, in order to be, what I think, more realistic characteristics.
I was "affraid" to play with new/actual DB (2023) but I am getting more curious about how would it be.
Is it possible to install Nicks patcher v2.25 as defined in this post and be able to play it in the same PC?
In other words, can I play one save with 0102 DB and other with 2022/2023 DB, if I have installed 2 versions of patchers?
Or is there any way to make it possible?

Thanks in advance!

The starter kit and full version of Nick's Patcher are completely separate so you can have different installations. Just be aware that they might start looking in different folders for the save games, etc due to the presence of multiple installations.

Thanks Xeno, I’ll try that and see if it lets me. I’m usually not that bad at this type of thing but thanks for the reply

[auctorpretiosfacit]

Apologies if this is explained elsewhere but I couldn't find an answer

With Nick's patcher the known bug fixes include "UnlockYourCreativity" and "MarkingAndPositionClampTo100", I'm unaware of bugs mentioned so what are the actual effects of these fixes?

Any help appreciated

Amazing article! Me and Sir Nick get a mention - Modders have built entirely new databases including modern-day updates, vintage eras like the excellent 93/94 database.

Oof, ponderously written article but fair play good on ya fellas.

Guys is there a way to move Northern Ireland league from 2022/23 season to just 2023 (like Korea and Ireland)?

[Nick+Co]

@paky: You'd need a patch that changes this:

Code: Select all

0066864B  |.  52                        PUSH EDX                                 ; |Arg3 => [LOCAL.136]                 <---- This would need to be incremented by 1
0066864C  |.  6A 07                     PUSH 7                                   ; |Arg2 = 7                                    <---- This is the start month (July)
0066864E  |.  6A 0C                     PUSH 0C                                  ; |Arg1 = 0C                                 <---- This is the start day (-1 so 12th)
00668650  |.  8D4C24 24                 LEA ECX,[LOCAL.134]                      ; |
00668654  |.  A3 D843B600               MOV DWORD PTR DS:[0B643D8],EAX           ; |
00668659  |.  E8 1219EEFF               CALL 00549F70  

So to make it the same as Korea you need to squeeze in INC EDX and change it to PUSH 2 PUSH 19

@auctor: Look up those patches in the Misc Patchs section under Tools (it will show a description for each)

Nick I changed:
PUSH EDX -> INC EDX
PUSH 7 -> PUSH 2
PUSH 0C -> PUSH 19

once changed it does not load the game

[Nick+Co]

Did I say replace PUSH EDX? No, I said squeeze in INC EDX EDX needs to be one more than it would be normally to push it to the next year

EDIT:
If I was to do it, I'd do it via: (EDIT2: I updated the patch - the first two bytes were reversed - corrected below)

Code: Select all

002670F4: 90 42
002670F5: 90 52
002670F6: 90 6A
002670F7: 90 02
002670F8: 90 6A

0026864C: 6A A4
0026864D: 07 EA
0026864E: 6A FF
0026864F: 0C FF

Haven't tested it though. You should review the changes the patch made so you can see how I did so you can do it in the future.

[Paky87]

Thanks Nick, you're a genius!! I just ask you one last thing: I have brought the NIR Premier Division to 8 clubs and I would like to increase the NIR First Division to 10 or 12, but I have the problem of the NIR Cup that once the clubs in the second division have been increased it doesn't take all 32 club. How can I fix? I would be infinitely grateful

[Nick+Co]

@paky: You are going to need to provide a lot more detail about what you are doing, what happens, what should happen, etc etc if you want help with that

EDIT: I tried it quick - moving 2 of the teams from NI Prem (10 -> 8 teams) to NI first (10 -> 12 teams) and in the cup all 20 prem and first teams were picked up plus 12 more to make the 32.

Are you making the right code changes to support the changing the league size?
i.e

Code: Select all

To make the NIR First have 12 teams:
0078BC5B      68 C4020000                                  PUSH 2C4
0078BC60      32DB                                         XOR BL,BL
0078BC62      66:C746 3E 0C00                              MOV WORD PTR DS:[ESI+3E],0C

To make the NIR Prem have 8 teams:
0078EC6B      68 D8010000                                  PUSH 1D8
0078EC70  |.  32DB                                         XOR BL,BL
0078EC72      66:C746 3E 0800                              MOV WORD PTR DS:[ESI+3E],8

[Paky87]

Sorry Nick, rather than solving this problem, I would like to know if it is possible to solve the regens problem: that is, I swapped Andorra for Northern Ireland, but after a couple of seasons the regens appear in British clubs. Is it possible to solve this problem? Ie it would be correct that if I trade Andorra for Northern Ireland, the regens stay in Spanish or Portuguese clubs

[Fodster]

Hey Nick, no rush at all mate as I am really enjoying my game, currently in 2039.

However, world cup hasn't played since 2034.

Save here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/g37xkm

As I said, no rush and not expecting you to look into it, just might help.

Cheers for a cracking patch!

Let me know if you need any more info!

Something similar had happened to me too (unfortunately I no longer have the save), but I remember that the final for third/fourth place had not been played, I hope this information can be useful

[l22677]

I saw the save and here too the final for third/fourth place (France-Portugal) was not played, while the final for 1st place was played (Italy-England).
Even the America's cup has the same problem, the last one was played in 2026 and while the final for first place was played (Uruguay-Argentina) the final for third/fourth place (Chile-Paraguay) was not, evidently not playing these games does not reset the competition and therefore the tournament is no longer played

Guys, I got this error: fix_man cpp 3272....what is it?how can I fix it?

[Nick+Co]

@paky: As per viewtopic.php?f=35&t=1943&p=74053e#p74053 - i.e. make more of an effort if you actually want help. Otherwise don't bother posting.

@Fods: I'd need the exe and Data directory to properly diagnose - but it will just be down to a clash of schedules. Will hopefully be fixed in the next release - but best to carry on without the World Cup for that saved game rather than fiddle with it.

[Boulder]

Is there any order in difficulty regarding those tactic packs that can be used to replace the original one? I've been using the March 2020 data update one, but I'd like to try something a little bit harder. I'm afraid I'll ruin my save in the long run by going blindly for some pack there

[Carlos Bacelar]

Does any of these patches remove the 16 managers/players/users limit?

[Nick+Co]

@Carlos: No there isn't - that is quite hardcoded into game - would be hard to workaround without some effort
