AM24 - Assistant Manager for FMM24 (Android) 1.0.6

Scratch Updated 8,711 downloads 148 comments

8 Screenshots

NOW FIXED SO SHORTLIST EXPORTS WORK WITH VERSION 15.2.0 OF FMM24 (WINTER VERSION)

This is a scouting app for FMM24 (Android), letting you:

  • See the CA, PA, hidden attributes, etc for any player.
  • Search for players by many parameters (CA, PA, Age, position, foot, name, club, some hidden attributes, etc). 
  • Export the current view of players to a FMM shortlist so you can import them into your FMM shortlist.

 

NOTES: 

  • This will only work with FMM24, it will NOT work with FMM23 or FMM25 (when it comes).
  • It is only available for Android.
  • There are some very significant changes to where save files are stored in FMM24 which have a major impact on AM24, so please read the Changes In FMM24 section below (tldr: you must export your saves in FMM24 before AM24 can see them).
  • I am still working towards a complete rewrite and getting this onto Google Play and when I do so it will not be free.
  • I am releasing this here for free in the meantime because it will probably take significant time to complete the rewrite etc.
  • There are some known bugs such as languages and favourite clubs not working. These are unlikely to be fixed before the rewrite.
  • If you have used the In Game Editor (ie there is a yellow Edit button showing), AM24 will not be able to read the save file and it will not open.

 

Installation / Opening A Save File

  • You will need to allow APKs to be installed from sources other than Google Play.
  • When you open the APK file downloaded from this page, you will also be prompted to allow installation from this source.
  • When you open the app for the first time, you will have to press Find Save Folder to find the careers/saves folder.
  • Android will then prompt you for permission to access files, storage etc.
  • You then need to find the folder with the various Exported careers in it. Note: you must have exported your careers first, as discussed in the Changes in FMM24 section below. 
  • Once you have found this folder, you will need to open the career folder with the exported save files (eg export_Newcastle).
  • Note: you will not actually see the save files in this view, it only shows folders. 
  • Once the exported save folder has been opened, press the "Choose Folder" button in the top right.
  • It should then show you any save files in that folder (Save 1, Save 2, Save 3).
  • If these buttons are greyed out, then it did not find any save files in this folder - please press the Change Career Folder button and try again.

Note: To change saves within a career, choose the Open Folder icon, then choose the save you wish to open. To change careers, choose the Open Folder icon, then press Change Career Folder, find the folder you want and press Choose Folder in the top right.

 

Changes in FMM24

There were some major changes to the way that save files are stored in FMM24 and it limits what AM24 can do. 

Save files are now saved in a hidden storage area that other apps, like AM24, cannot access. This means AM24 cannot directly access the save files. Instead you need to export them from FMM24. The first time you do this, FMM will ask you where to store these - this is the folder you need to find in the installations instructions above. 

Unfortunately this means you cannot open the save file in AM24 directly, play on (and save) in FMM24, then use the refresh button in AM24 to see the latest data. You will need to export the career every time you want to get an updated view of the save file. Even more unfortunately the export process is very cumbersome. You need to:

  • Choose Save Game in FMM
  • Exit the save, back to the main FMM screen
  • Press Load Game
  • Select the career you want to export
  • Press Export
  • Give the export a name (yes every time) - it makes sense to use the same name each time so you can just refresh in AM24
  • Press Export
  • Press OK, then Cancel
  • Go to AM24 and press the refresh button

This needs to be done before using AM24 for the first time and again every time you want to see the latest save.

Exporting shortlists from AM24 and loading them into FMM is very messy. Please see the details in this comment below for an explanation.

 

Loading Save Files That Have Been Edited

Save files that have been edited with the In Game Editor will sometimes not load in AM24. This is due to the save file being reordered and AM24 being unable to find the Manager's last name, which is needed to load the file.

As a workaround, please create a text file called `lastname.txt` that contains just the Manager's surname and copy it into the same folder as the save file. For example if the Manager's surname was Cronin, you would create a file like this: lastname.txt

Note: This is just a temporary solution. I'll find a better solution when I rewrite the app (at the very minimum I will make it a setting rather than the needing a text file which is pretty lame!). 

 

Overview

Here's an overview of the app from several years ago. It is mostly the same, except for the part about opening the saves, which has changed as mentioned above: 

Spoiler

 

Also, here is a new video looking at how to export saves from FMM24 so you can access them in AM24 and how to import shortlists created by AM24 into FMM24:

Support, etc

The app shouldn't cause any problems, but it is an "use at your own risk" app.

If you find any problems with the app, feel free to post them below BUT a) I don't have much time to spend on this now and b) I had to downgrade my development environment to release the app and I need to update it again soon (and won't be able to make any changes after that). So... there may be little to no support this year.

There will only be an Android version in the short term. Longer term I'd like to be able to do an iOS version, or at least a web version if that's not possible, but don't hold your breath!

 
Have fun! :D

Though remember using this app is against the rules of the challenges here on Vibe if you're doing one of them.

No worries, glad it's sorted!

Help, does anybody know the full filepath of the careers/saves folder on Android?

For me, it asked me where I wanted to store them when I installed the game, but I'm not sure if it does that for everyone or just certain Android versions.

If it asked you, then you need to find that again, wherever you chose. If it didn't then I'd probably look in Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024 Mobile/normal/games/ or Sigames/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024 Mobile/normal/games/

FMM is asking you which folder you want to store your save games in. You should only need to do this once(ie the first time). Wherever you choose, that's the same folder you will need to find in AM later, so make sure you remember which folder you choose.

It's probably best to store them in Documents somewhere. Don't store it under Android > Data etc, as AM will not have rights to access that.

Hi mate!

 

Why do many players appear without a club in the app, and when I look for them in the game, they don't show up?

These are the the players in a youth academy somewhere. At some point they will graduate and appear in the game, but it can take a while - someone above was talking about a player who didn't appear in the game after 5 or 6 years! But it's normally only a year or two. 

I haven't worked out how to flag these players as youth academy players yet - the club field is empty and I can't see any field which says they are youth players, but the game obviously has some way of storing that, I just haven't worked it out yet.

Yeah, thanks to that, I was able to better "cultivate" my regens with SID of better retired players. Too bad it somehow didn't show the regen I was about to steal from another team.

Do you have any screenshots of what you're seeing?

It's working for me and for other people, so really hard to investigate without some more details etc. 

Also, can you find your save games in a Files app? If you can see them there, you should be able to navigate to that folder in AM, but if you can't find them in whatever files app your phone has, then step one has to be to work out where they are on your phone.

Sorry for the delay - what happens if you use a file explorer app and go to that folder? Can you see any files in there? Can you please get a screenshot of that for me?

For example, using the built in file explorer on my Samsung phone (My Files), this is what I see:

image.thumb.png.9787b59fe763c6710f20aeaf861abad4.png

AM24 won't work with the `fmm_save_auto.fms` or `fmm_auto_save_hidden.fms` files, only with `fmm_save_1.fms` etc. The "No Save 1" message means it's not finding that file in that folder (`export_Arsenal` for you). The question is: does that file exist in the folder or not?

If it doesn't then something went wrong with the export. Maybe go back into the game, make sure you save a file into the actual empty save file slots (not just saving over the autosave file), then export the save again.

If you can see the `fmm_save_1.fms` file in that folder in your file explorer, then maybe AM24 has some sort of permissions issue and can't see/access it. In that case, I'll need to know where the folder is (for eg if it's in the Android > Data folder somewhere, the app won't be able to access it) and what version of Android you are on etc.

Yeah, just press Choose Folder.

Looks like you are in the right place and just need to press that button. Then it should show you the files (if there are any). But at that point it's just showing folders not files. It's kinda sucky, but I'm limited by the libraries I'm using.

Just to say, this app is great - many thanks for this.

 

Would be great if you could nail the attribute thing though, I guess its quite complex how its been put together.

I really like this app. thank you for making it.

I have a suggestion, if you can look for hidden attributes. maybe you can add an option to search for other hidden attributes such as set pieces, penalties, adaptations, etc.❤️

what is CA and PA?

CA = Current Ability

PA = Potential Ability

AM24 shows you the real 0-200 values for each player that are stored in the save game. If you use the Editor which comes with the game you can see a star rating representing these (5 stars = 180 to 200; 4.5 stars = 160 to 179; etc). You can't actually see these values in the game itself - staff and scouts will tell you what they think, but they are often quite wrong (which is part of the game).
