Chat Questions about hex editing

[happyjkevin]

Hello. I am trying to make a db patch for distribution, but I am having trouble doing some things, so I need some help.

I downloaded the original database and I am editing these files.

Here are my questions.

1. How can I transfer players to other clubs? I tried to edit the people.dat file and change the 'Current club' code, but this doesn't seem to work. Do I need to edit additional things? Maybe in the club.dat file?

2. Can I loan some players to other clubs? How can I do this?

I have already found out how to edit player's position, hidden attributes, and other different things, but I am one step away from completing my conquest of fm mobile's database. It would be really helpful if someone could help me with these questions. Thanks in advance!

1) After changing his club code on the player profile.

To transfer a player to a new club, go to the club squad list remove his id, and add it to the new club squad list.

Thanks for the reply!

But how can I find his ID in the people.dat file, or other .dat files? I read that the ID is right in front of the facepack code, but people.dat file doesn't have the ID in that position. When you make a save file and try to read the .fms file, it has the ID in that position but that number is not consistent in the db. Could you help me with this?

I don't understand you properly.

You still can't find the player ID.

Or you already have his ID but couldn't locate it in the .Db

Which player are you trying to find his ID, I will help you with an example..

 

In the .dB take note of the player nation, dob or club, to know if you in the right sector.

I'm trying to transfer cristiano ronaldo to manchester united, but

1. I can't find his ID

2. I know how to find the club data sector in club.dat by searching for 'manchester', but I don't know where to replace the code.

Thanks mate, I really appreciate your help!

I did find c.ronaldo ID by adding only him on my shortlist. It's the last code on the section 

F0 37 0b 00.

But after changing his club and adding him to man utd squad, I found out he became free agent on my save.

I will look into this when I'm am free from work.

Maybe I'm using wrong man utd ID. 65 01.

I WIll redo it later.

1. There are 3 things you need to do:

• people.dat - teamId
• club.dat - squad list
• starting contracts

2. For loans:

• people.dat - teamId
• club.dat - squad list
• starting loans

Could you elaborate? First of all, I know how to change the team ID in people.dat file, but I don't know how to find out the player ID in people.dat and where to put it in the club.dat file. And what do you mean with the starting contracts file? Could you explain a little more about this? Thanks for your help!

I actually read all of that and still couldn't figure out how to do it... Thanks for mentioning though

I'm beginning to believe we can't transfer players from club to club or it's more difficult to find out this time.

I got the player ID, change the new club ID, then search for him in the squadlist data to remove him from the old club roaster and couldnt find ID there.

1.When I load game he becomes free agent.

2. I removed Manson mount from Man utd, he became free agent, then I added him back and he joins the utd squad again.

3. I can see all my squad list with hex, I can't see other clubs squad list, is there, but the code are different from their IDs. This is where I'm getting confused.

 

Maybe I will keep trying until I get it or wait for AM26 update, to get those codes

As mentioned, you will need to edit person.dat, club.dat and starting_contracts.dat to accomplish what you're trying to do.

Do you mind giving me an example, with a screenshot.

It's been a while I use hex to transfer players. Maybe 23.

Contract.dat isn't necessary before.

Just person.dat and club.dat.

Finally I've been able to do it, 

Reason for my failure before was using the wrong ID, 

Whenever I look up for a player ID on my shortlist, I'm presented with the SiD instead of the main ID. Use it and it will not work.the blue colour 0d 01 the new club ID was inserted there.

85 9b 00 00 main ID. Important for player transfers.

3f 9b 39 77 sID

85 9b 00 00 main ID in this example, was added to the squadlist

Hmm, it shouldn't. The save formats are different so I don't see how that's possible - but I'll admit to not having tried it. If it does work, I'm guessing it will only work with saves started in FMM24, because it checks the database version and shouldn't load if it's not from 24.

freekick and Consistency are separately stored in different tables, You need Player's Birthday+Nationality to locate one (People infos), then Player's attributes(hex) in orders for another one (Player infos).
