@Nisoley: Damn, haven't thought of that. I believe the problem is the fifa_server_map.dll file. I'm trying to obtain the correct one for v1.01. Sorry for the trouble :))

Yes, it's definitely the fifa_server_map.dll file. It would be amazing if you can find a solution but no matter what, keep up your work. :)
 
@Ciais in match it's pretty good, nothing to say.

For in between matches, As I said in the previous post, with a week or a bit more players are immediately re-usable as it should be, can't remember if they lacked some stamina here and there but that's it. With just 2-3 days from another game, however, a greatest rotation is necessary as players just recovered half or something their stamina.

Now will see if it's manageable after more games I guess :) .
 
@Ciais, thank you mate for the advertising! This tool is supposed to ease the face addition process to anyone game, but is of no use when it comes to the hardest part of the job, making the faces .

@andersfss, I am also really curious about your 1998 WC mod. As a French, that year is very special to me. Concerning classic players faces, if you download the last all in one version of moddingway, it includes a "classic database" and there is many player faces included in it from that period.

Thanks for the advice :)) I already have it, but there are still very few faces. In addition, I can't use each, because some of them are not very good quality.. I think the vast majority of players in my patch will have generic faces. It's a pity that we don't have the ability to fine-tune the default faces (as in the PES series games).

@Ciais so far, so good :D! The fact you need to heavy rotate your team is one of the strong points of the mod. If it's even barely sustainable is fine for me.

I just checked and actually I was surprised about the amount and the quality of the face for players from the "bigger" teams. France, Italy, Germany, England, Netherlands, Spain, Brazil and Argentina have almost all their starting eleven from that period with good quality faces. I viewed them with CM16 and I didn't try it ingame though.

Edit: or may be they are many for later like 2000+.

@Madmac79: Alrighty then, thanks again for your input :TU:

@Nisoley: Would you be willing to test this fifa_server_map.dll with Stadium Server and game version 1.01? https://mega.nz/#!fpFFSKLC!PSMDXw2i6qg0vgUGkvtwfnuV6YVBdKC8r7UHwXXXrkM
I'd do it myself, but I don't consider myself a Stadium Server expert, so I wouldn't know if it works as it should or not :ROLL:
PS: I'm sure there's no need for me to tell you to backup your dbdata.dll, fifa16.exe and fifa_server_map.dll, but better be safe than sorry :))

@El Pajaro: Nicely done! I never won anything myself. Remember when I tried to qualify for the 2019 Women's World Cup with Argentina? :D

About fatigue: well, that's exactly the point, isn't it? Sorry, I really don't want to sound like an ass, but players should indeed tire in a longer tournament and especially if they play 120-minute games -- no team should ever be able to field the same 11 all season long :))

About GKs: no, handling controls whether he punches or catches the ball with his hands. What you're describing is probably caused by the Selfish trait, although I never saw them do that in my games

@dissectionalone: I see GKs rushing the attacker sometimes, even mine does it whether I press Y or not.

Also, forgive me for asking, but what is the "no ball dribbling control"? :THINK:
Click to expand...

Yeah but it's quite rare and usually when it happens the GK always seems to be able to phase his hands through the attackers body to reach the ball (even when the attacker is clearly between the keeper and the ball. During the pre-game or practise it becomes even more obvious)
What I called no ball dribbling is the body feint button they decided to use in Fifa 16 (I haven't played Fifa in so long I forgot what function that button had on previous fifas. Maybe it was the slow dribble button?)
 
Maybe it's rare in vanilla FIFA 16, but with the gameplay tweaks I've been doing, I see GKs rushing out fairly frequently. Not to brag or anything, I mean, I even had to tone it down somewhat because they were rushing out and punching high balls a lot :D

I'm sorry, I still don't understand what you mean about no ball dribbling :((

It's good you've managed to change the gameplay :)

In Fifa 16, if you press one of the top buttons (not sure if it's R1 or L1) the players lets go off the ball so it's possible to perform body feints by simply pressing that button. This feature was first introduced in Fifa 16 (not sure if 17, 18 and 19 still have it but it didn't exist before Fifa 16)

Do you use stadium server with fifa 16?

I used to use it but after origin's constant updates the tool seemed to have ceased to function

@miguelfcp, @El Pajaro: Thanks! Although, I think you're exaggerating, it's not really that great... :EMB:

@final lap: What do you mean? New balls/etc, a LOD fix or a PostFX mod like SweetFX?

I usually use this Ultra LOD fix: https://www.moddingway.com/file/190234.html (although not right now), but I don't know how taxing it is for low-mid PCs

For PostFX you can use Chuny's: https://www.evo-web.co.uk/threads/gfx-mod-for-fifa-16-and-fifa-18-download.78862/

You can combine them no problem, they aim to do 2 entirely different things.

A LOD fix makes sure that players and such are always using the highest quality model no matter how far the camera is (so no more balding players, etc.)

PostFX means injecting AA, bloom, HDR, etc... on top of the rendered image.

Hope it was what you were looking for :))

Gonna try these out. Thanks very much my friend.
 
@dissectionalone: Ah, I see what you mean now. Yes, I use that button sometimes just to protect the ball. About feints, I don't know: I did change the trait assignments, but I don't know if that affects it.
About Stadium Server, Nisoley has raised an important question about it, let's wait and see if the dll I found makes the program work with v1.01 :))

@all: @miguelfcp posted the blog article I wrote in the FIFA subreddit.
They immediately removed it and banned him.
I wanted to let you all know because this is really stupid and sad on their part.

Hey mate, at first thanks for trying! I had the time to test it but unfortunately it doesn't work. The File Server can't recognize the team ID's etc. I'm pretty sure that the fifa_server_map.dll is still the solution because @shawminator released a tweaked version of it for the latest FIFA 16 update.

Maybe you have another idea how to fix this?
 
Thanks for trying :))

We could either ask shawminator to make one specifically for v1.01, or I could try myself, but without the source code it's gonna be difficult :THINK:
 
Well, I don't know if it's that, but under their rules there's this stuff about content removal:
  • Content not related to the latest patch or FIFA release
  • And they also say, "the reality is the majority of us here don't really care what games you are playing or not playing anymore"
  • Plus, it's all about Ultimate Team -- and nothing else, from what I could see
Ahah, as miguel said, the joke's on them. Now I'm even more fired up about this gameplay mod :ROCK:

This is really pathetic from them. Let's say remove post was 5% correct (the best i can think) , 95% wrong. But BAN him too????????!! FFS.. Whats wrong with the current gaming communities.

THis FUT/MyClub ranking arena madness, where everybody want's to be the very best for a year :( (like Ash!! :P :P ), has really poisoned their minds.
 
The post I had written was in the same "style" as the ones I did to advertise Project Odyssey, me and @mattmid's PES6 project. It had valuable content explaining the mod, and links to both this thread (where Cialis posted the mod's download links) as well as the post @Cialis wrote for Retro Sports Club - exactly what I did with the posts related to Project Odyssey. While the PES subreddit didn't see any problem with it on the multiple times I posted this kind of thread - and why would it ever be problematic...? -, not 5 minutes after I post on r/FIFA, the thread is removed and I'm banned rightaway - no questions asked, no warnings, nothing.

I have to say I was mad about it. I knew that posting there would potentially gain a lot of attention to Cialis' work, the kind of attention that is hard - if not impossible - to get anywhere else (it's a community with +200k subscribers...). His work definitely deserves that attention. What's even more despicable is that we're talking about a community who runs mostly on either funny memes, "check-out-this-player's-Ultimate-Team-card" and ironic rantings about how crappy the modern game is. I thought they'd appreciate something actually interesting for a change, you know. Turns out, they want to stay in their little crap bubble and not be bothered with Cialis' exciting work.
 
That ban is absolutely disgraceful. You don't ban someone for being off-topic, Jesus Christ. Just goes to show what the current FIFA community is like, i.e. a bunch of children who are only impressed with children's content.
 
That's why I'm so pissed (I also feel a little responsible myself too...)

You don't care about this stuff, and remove it from your subreddit? Ok, no problem, it's in your rights. We're cool

But immediately banning someone because of it? Sounds like an EA ass-kisser dictatorship to me

@miguelfcp, sorry again :(
 
It was the same thing with NHL04 back in 2008 (when NHL 09 PC, last PC game came out). I posted info about modded NHL 04 to ThunderPuck forums. Everyone obviously saw how superior the 04 gameplay was. It pissed off the NHL09 modding community and I was banned.

Well... we made our own forum and the rest is history.

We can easily do it again if we want. This is even more radical gameplay mod than NHL04. But I've always been happy here at EVOWeb. It's pretty mellow and liberal here. Maybe we could have our FIFA16 subforum... or just some sticky where the mod is always accessible?

Personally I don't care what people in the sports gaming communities think of me... I have a real life and pretty successful career to take care of. For me it's just about being with friends like Ciais and helping to make the best possible football game ever... and PLAYING it. :D
 
@Ciais: Nothing to be sorry about. You know I had the initiative of posting there, as we discussed privately, because of how popular the subreddit is, and how your work would be a breath of fresh air on that boring world of theirs. Joke's on them, really.

90-day ban and 72-hour muted. One would think I insulted someone or worse...
...well, I did say on the post that both PES and FIFA19 were "mindless fun"...:TWIST:
 
:LMAO::LMAO::LMAO::LMAO:

Thanks, man :))

I don't think they even read it. I think some of their bots detected a word it didn't like and then WHAM

Still, luckily it's "only" 90 days -- I was afraid they banned you definitely
 
Just wanted to add that I don't care about how popular the mod gets for some "personal recognition"... but bigger exposure is beneficial for the development. Bigger testing team = better results, more contributors.

That's why I think it's always good to get more popularity.
