good evening guys and welcome to soccer mod and this tutorial I'm going to
quickly go over how to add a league to your comp
data um now first thing you should note is that in the game the status of what
I've done I've added a League the English division
5 and I've created all of the teams I've added them all in here um so I'm go
through and this is my English division five
okay now I want to put them into the career mode so at the moment nothing
will happen now the first thing you need to note with career mode and I'll go
into more detail later you can have a maximum of five leagues per
country if you try to do more they will not appear in career mode
okay um I mean technically they will appear you won't be able to choose them
is what I'm trying to say so you'll be able to see the first five leagues and
you'll be able to pick the teams between
it the sixth League whatever it is whatever level you won't be able to see
it at all okay so I've added my league um as we saw in the previous videos of
how to add teams and add leagues I'm now going to put them in the game so I've gone
into the comp OB file
first in the link table and I know that this is England so
this this is within England okay and these are the separate tournaments this is the
leak too so I'm
just going to put a you don't need to do this but I'm just trying to show you
this is the Premier League level one this is level
two this is level three this
is level four and I'm going to add a new league
in here which is going to be my level five okay so the first thing I do is I put in
three new lines and look how the other tournaments
these other leagues like the Premier League the championship league one League two
they've all got three
lines going to just copy these here as a template okay
remember this column here needs to have that it can't be blank
okay and I know the from the league that I've added in my
game it's this one here League ID 2208 that's the one that I'm working
on so I'm going to change this to 22 or8 this is a reference to the
tournament ID so it tells the commentator what tournament we're working on it's
2208 and this column here needs to be in order and you can't have any gaps needs
to be unique so I'm just going to drag it down and double click to fill this entire
column all the way
down okay this tournament belongs to England
now you see remember how we went through in the previous tutorial video 438 if
you go up to line 438 in here
is England okay so every tournament within here is going to belong to
England okay so what I like to do is to
put a little highlight here so I'm just going to color in those cells in yellow
and it tells me that what I'm working on at the moment these are the lines that
I've added to my competitor Okay so I
can say this column here and it say that it belongs to England so I'm just going to
copy it there for EAS cuz that
tournament also belongs to England that gives me the cell reference make sure it's
always a calculation
okay this one here this is a stage and it belongs to this tournament so I'm
going to put equals then that this stage here which is my league
belongs to this stage there you go so that's all you need to
do in comob now I need to tell comp IDs that I've created a new
tournament now this column remember it always needs to be in order and the
position I've added it to is 836 so I need to find where it should
fit and it's between these two numbers I put equals and I click on the
comp Tab and then I click on the reference number and I press
enter and I get a calculation here okay I highlight that cell to say that's what
I've been working on in case I need to go back and check anything now in
advancement we don't
have anything to do it's a league they're not going to be advancing anywhere in a
teams I don't have any
reason to save the teams so I don't need to do anything there objectives I'm
going to need to add some objectives for the managers in that league and they
should fit this First
Column here needs to be in order so they should fit between 835 and
865 so I'm just going to add I think I'll add four okay I'll just
highlight those in yellow I'm going to add Champion I'm going to add for now
promotion I'm going to add mid table and I'm going to add void loadly
finish okay I need to put equals in this column
here go to comod and I select the actual League
itself because it's that that I'm wanting to reference so 838 you finish
in a position in 838 to achieve that objective
and I'm going to say to get Champion you've got to finish first to get promotion
you got to finish second
mid-table I'm going to say 12 because there are 24 teams I've put in it avoid
lowly finish I'm going to say 20 okay the next thing I'm going to do is
go to the schedule now I know just for ease at the
moment and like I say we'll go into schedule a bit more later
on but I know that the same number of teams are in League to as they are in
the competition that I'm creating okay so I'm putting them in at
836 this First Column has to be in order so mine are going to go in
here okay and I'm going to need to add quite
a few lines I'm just going to make some
space by inserting blank lines for
now and I can make this as simple as I want um in fact I think I'll no I I
don't want to go into too much detail yet because it's going to get overly
complicated if we try and do that so I'm
just going to create some space like I see and give myself a gap
I'm then going to copy the lines from 834 which is another league with 24
teams so I know it's going to work exactly the same way
okay and I'm going to copy those lines
there uh for 834 because I want it exactly the same
and I'm going to Pace them in this Gap that I've created now I've made sure that
there's enough space for them to
sit this this First Column here I've got 923 at the minute I'm just going to get
rid of
it because that does not reference my
tournament now if you look at 834 it references the stage in comob so we
need to do the same remember just to highlight these in
yellow as well so you you know what you have added what you've made changes
to makes it a bit easier when you come to troubleshooting it later
okay and I'm going to put equals in this First Column I'm going to click on
comp and I'm going to go to the stage that I've added which is
837 and I'm going to copy this formula and paste it in every
cell for those legs that we've added remember I showed you in the
introduction you can cut those down to save lines and we'll go into more Det
detail about what you can do and why things work the way they are it gets quite
difficult in
schedule simply because you can have
conflicts so if you are conflicting with an International
Tournament and you are the top tier you may cause conflicts with that
International Tournament you may cause problems if a team is qu qualifying for
Europe and you book them on the same date as the European competition is
taking place they're not going to be able to play both games so it's going to cause
a problem there there's a maximum
number of legs that you can have on a specific day that will cause problems
so yeah there's a lot to think about and it's usually
easier um to copy a similar schedule paste it in
Okay so we've got our schedule done next I'm going to go to standings simply
because this is the easier one to
do I'd rather get this one out the way my tournament remember is going to sit
between here because it's line 83
838 that I want to reference in standings so I'm just going to insert
because I've got 24 teams I need 24 rows here
so it's eight sorry 8 16
24 and I'm just going to put 01 so this is the position in that League zero down
to 23 24 teams I'm going to highlight it in yellow to say I've worked on this
bit and here in this First Column I'm going to put equals and I'm going to go
come and I'm going to select the group part is
there okay I now need to fill this league somehow so remember we use tasks
to do that so here
um mind set in between these two files because this column needs to be in order I'm
going to need if you look at a
previous one um 833 for example this is a similar
League I could need three rows okay and you can copy these lines
here to make it nice and easy and you can copy these values
here I want to explain it because we explained it in the introductory video so you
don't need to know that again how
to do that highlight that in yellow okay this
one's referencing 833 notice so I've got equals and my tournament here is 836
this is the one I've added highlighted in yellow so I need that for all of these
lines and I'm saying at the start of this tournament a 36
fill this league or this group which is
838 with teams from my league my league reference from the database which was
22 or8
there and 0 00 just means all so fill all the slots with teams from that
League clear League stats okay um I'm just going to put the so clear League stats
you put equals go back to comp hge and the league stage which is 837 so you're
seeing at the start clear the league of all the stats like the position um the
number of points the
goals scored and everything so everything gets reset to zero at the start and put
2208 to say all the teams
from that League have their St stats reset and at the end of the tournament
update the league stats okay so this is for
um anything to say with like who won the tournament or who was the top scorer
things like that it's going to save it um into the stats for the career you're
going to need the league because you're saying when this stage ends
clear it and it's 2208 you're clearing the league stats of this
okay now if you're creating your own country uh a league for a new country
remember to update weather as well you're going to need a weather for that
country it's not going to cause the create crash if you don't have it because there
are default values like we
explained but it's good to have it for completeness now we haven't done
settings yet so settings this First Column as usual needs to be in
order I'm going to scroll down to where our settings would
be which is here
so between 835 and 839 because that's where my competition
sits and I'm going to put some extra lines in here
just to mix bace for the settings that I want to add nice and easy way to do this I
know
that the tournament 833 is similar so I can copy all of their
lines um I'm not going to worry about this schedule Force comp yet um I'll go into
that later on that's to add
playoffs and things but if I take these here
what we'll do is take those lines um and we'll explain these now you
can add your own settings obviously um based on what you need it's difficult to
know because everybody's going to be different now at the moment I'm just going to
not promote it and we'll we'll
go into that in a moment um but these lines here
um if you look it's probably easier to look at this 833 down to
inform price so I'm going to highlight in
yellow all of these lines because these are going to be the lines that I'm going to
use for my tournament I'm
adding promo the these settings are specific to my tournament so it's line
836 they're relevant to the whole tournament so teams from my tournament
will be promoted to whatever I put here and they'll be relegated to whatever I put
here you do need these two
lines um for it to work properly asset ID that again that tells
you what um the tournament is so it should be the same really as this number now
remember this number needs to be unique so if you're creating your own you should
use a unique value that's not
used anywhere else in the game it's a full list of them on the socker mod website
to
use mine is 2208 comp type tells it what it is it's
a league the number of Subs on the bench should be seven or whatever you think
I'm going to set it as five it's completely up to you but you need to be aware that
if you have seven the teams
that you've added to the game need to have seven extra players so you would need at
least 18 if the teams have less
than 18 players available at any time the game will just be awarded to the
other team as a 3-0 defeat so you need to make sure that's good schedule
International dependency
so this is saying that you probably see from the Premier League one a bit
further up um yeah it's difficult to find it but um a
look yeah can't really find it without searching which is a bit of a pain but
um schedule International dependency if that was set to one um and there was an
international group of games so there was like a friendly Internationals week
my league would stop so it didn't conflict with
that um it's easier to have it zero to be honest
um for the scheduling reasons unless you know what you're doing um but we'll go
into that another Point um money price
so this is the amount of money available if the team gets promoted it will win this
so I'm just going to change this
because I want it less than the level above I'm going to change it
to 800,000 Maybe
uh the match situation sorry I just fill these in
once we
remember much situation now this is specific to the stage okay so I need to
associate that with this line and this says that this stage is a
league now it could be a setup um it could be a knockout [Music]
draw tournament like knockout or semifinal or final something like that
but for this one it's a league prize money on offer well that's going to be the
same as that the drop so that's how
much it will drop by based on positions I'm just going to put zero for now
um I don't really need to sett that yet um no standings s
um let's go to say for this stage this should be sorted by points
then this should be sorted by goal difference in the table then goals four and then
head to head points obviously
put that in the order that you want and there are other settings you'll be able to
find in this file to actually change
that um I might list them on the site at some point the options that you got for
each setting to make it easier to reference them number of games um that's going to
say how many games they should play against each other um in the actual group or
the
league so each team in the league should play each other twice and put equals
that and I reference this line here okay a few extra things I'm going
to do in the settings file um now if you go up
you'll see you've got a slot for the you've got this setting here that you can
choose which is INF for slot
champion in first place so that's saying the team that finishes in first place
will be declared the champion they'll go into a slot for Champion and you can
also use it to promote and relegate teams so I'm going to set up now that my
league is roughly in the right place this um I'm going to set a promotion and
relegation quickly just show you how to do that so info slot Champion there I'm
going to put a color slot in and my preference is to put the slots there
above and the colors below it just makes it easier to read I
find but I'm seeing that the team that finishes in first should go into that slot
of a
champion and the color is in reference to the table
on the cre mode so when it displays the table the team in first will get the
champion
color okay you can also have promotion as a slot so this says that they will be
promoted so I'm just going to put that in here as two so I'm going to say the first
two teams are going to get
promoted and I also need a color slot for promotion
there now I'm going to do this as a separate video for the playoffs but you
can see you've got promo POS and these are teams that go into playoffs to be
promoted so they're not necessarily promoted automatically they can be via a
playoff
system okay I'm not going to add that for the time being I'm just going to get
rid of these lines here because I don't need them anymore I'm seeing that the first
two
teams in my league are going to be promoted now to set this up I need to
see where they're going to be promoted to so I've got this info League promo
here and this tells me where they get promoted to so I want to promote them to
the next level up in England which is England 4 so we just
order the league name in my database um I can see this one here
England League 2 is the line I've selected and the league ID for it is 61
you can also see it from just above um here the asset ID is 61 for
that League okay so I'm going to say that my teams are going to be promoted
to 61 they're not going to be relegated anywhere cuz I haven't got got a league
below to relegate them to but that's
fine now once I've done that I also need to remember that the league above League 2
is not currently set up to relegate teams so this line for League two I'm
going to highlight it in a different color to say I'm making changes to this league
I need to relegate the teams that
are in the relegation spots to my league which is 22 or eight okay so I've added
that in there I need to put in some extra slots into that League to say they need
to be
relegated because there's nothing currently there to say they will be
relegated and I'm relegating two teams so one two one two that's enough there
are 24 teams in that League okay 835 I know
is a reference to the group stage for that League 8
834 there you go 835 um so if I go to
settings and I just copy this formula here
again and I'm going to put in info uh slot let's go
Relic okay done in twice um you'll see that from up here
they've got a similar one in the league above and you need INF for color slot
Relic as well okay I'm just going to copy that for ease and put it in
here and the teams I want to relegate from that League are 23 and
24 there you go so they will get relegated into my
league and I will promote the top two from my league into it now that's go and
make a change slightly to objectives isn't it
because it's currently got a void LLY finish position 20 for that League okay
that's changing slightly because we're now avoiding relegation rather than avoiding
a lowly finish
put that in there and it currently says 20 well I'm I'm now relegating two teams
23 and 24 so you would avoid relegation at position
22 because 23 and 24 getting relegated okay promotion obviously happens two so
that bits fine and we still got vo lowly finish so we're all good there
now I have exported all of these files here for
comp object into an empty
folder so if I go to um here for my
tutorials I've got all of these tables exported now you can do that by selecting
them all clicking export and
then choosing where you export them to okay I've then opened them all in notepad++
and what I'm going to do is copy each of them you don't need to do it on active
teams obviously we've made no changes there but all of the other tables have been
updated so even though we've made
no changes in advancement we've added three new rows to the comp object which just
pushed everything else down so it's
made changes in advancement so we need to copy advancement and we paste it into
the advancement table here we click on contrl
F and we replace all of these gaps here with
commas Okay click on replace all and you'll get this and then you can save
that file okay you can either close it or you can leave it open if you're confident
that you know what you're doing um just to say that you've updated it okay you need
to do this with every
table in
here don't worry like I say about active teams because nothing changes there don't
worry about this data V or debug
database just the ones that are in this sheet apart from active teams
okay copy all of that and what I will do is I'll update
this and then we'll import them into the game
now comp data is probably one of the most difficult parts of modding so you
might make mistakes as you go and it's get more inventive with things more
complicated you'll make mistakes it's normal you will have to to troubleshoot
it yourself so if you are having issues I
won't be able to help with individual cases do not post comp data to me
because I will not check it it'll just be ignored um simply because it takes way
too long to troubleshoot it if you don't know what's going on so just going to
import all of those tables that I've updated there okay you'll see this patch and P
completed and then I'll show you what that looks like in the game
now right so in the actual career mode now you'll be able to see you've got your
league I've started a career as
walking um and go to standings I've got m my league
here um I've got a list of the fixtures over here can click
through um so yeah everything's set up as expected um yeah just need to make it
clear don't ask me anything about the language names at the moment it's a
separate video I'm well aware of it we will go into it at some point but it's not
important at the minute I'm trying
to show you something else um um we will cover it don't
worry um if we go across um so sometimes people will say they've
got uh issues with the Korea mode starting and things like that it will
usually be because your team is not correct you're missing a table or
something um you want to make sure that all of these things work um they all
look correct okay um if they don't look correctly you've got all the players up in
one corner it
means you're missing something to do with formations or your team sheets incorrect
um so it's something to do
with your team rather than the cre mode itself or the league or the changes that
you've
made um and those kind of things can also cause a crash so it's very
difficult for somebody to troubleshoot if you say I'm my career what's not
working it's crashing before it starts there's not a lot that people will be
able to do um they're not going to be able to read lines of comp data that you
paste into a chart it's going to be very difficult for somebody because they
haven't got all of the links that you've
made um it's difficult for them to understand because it's not clear what you're
trying to achieve as well um and the other thing is they're not
aware of your database so so they don't know if the mistake is with the teams or
the league setup rather than the
competition it's uh the comp dator itself um but yeah that's that's how you
add um a league what I'll do is I'll Sim it to the next season um I'll do that on
my own and show you at some point later on um but if you just go up to the top
of the league that you've created you can see this is the champion slot so it's
highlighted in blue cuz we did Ino
slot color this is promotion in
green um I can also go to
um if I just go to other leagues
here um I change the competition to League 2 which is the
league above mine um and I made a change to that to put relegation slot in and I
got Walla and rexim in there so if i s through the end of this competition
those two teams would be relegated in these slots and be replaced with two from
mine um I'll show you in a SE
separate video how to do things like playoffs because there's more that I want to
go into
um one thing I want to go through is like I say you can have a maximum of
five leagues per country if you go beyond that you won't be able to select
the teams um it won't let you start a career with those teams they will
however appear so if you were to create a league um for level six or level seven
for example and say it's level six of England and he did it the same it would
appear in career mode but you wouldn't be able to use those teams now it's not too
much of a problem
if you just want it to display like that it will work you may encounter problems
though with things like job offers so if you were
sucked from a team in level five you
could be offered a job from a team at level six that the Korean mode is confused
about and it crash the game so if you're ever doing something
and you want extra teams you can have
[Music] um extra groups for example so um I'll just quickly show you
one thing um in my database I've added
another League um 22 to one here which is sorry I haven't
added it yet um let a look Le
ID Tut
um where we at
there we are 2u1 two national league North and South what you can do just
what I should have done really is change these League names you can change them so
it's like England five and England
Six just so that you can find things easier completely up to you if you want
to do that it's not not important um but I just find it's easier to find things in
the Dead
this now in the actual game itself I will be
able to see these so I'll show
you so okay in kickoff mode you'll be able
to see my extra League appears here ignore the level it's just how I've set it up
I've got my extra League here with
all these teams um we've got 24 in there they appear in
kickoff mode however if I was to go to
Korea you'll be able to see from the team select that League doesn't
appear um like I say I've got a maximum of five leagues that I can pick from so
I'm not able to get to
them so one option um is that I put them
all into the same league like England 5 and I have two
groups um at level five and I create like a promotion for
each one so we'll do another video um I'll show
you how to expand that in part two
