Customise Large Database?

Hi mates,

Here I want discuss with you my knowledge about "Large Database" Option.

What is "Large Database" Option?

"Large Database" option is not a new option for FMH/FMM series. You can find it in the start page from "preference".  

What is the difference when we turn on "Large Database" Option?

1000 more players!

Yes, when you turn on this option, 1000 more players will be added into your save.

Before turn on "Large Database" and start England only. 5405 players in save.

After turn on "Large Database" and start England only. 6405 players in save.

Where do these 1000 players come from?

Maybe you will ask where do these 1000 players come from.

As what I know, these players are picked from "Extension" database. If you are familiar with FMM/FMH database structures, you should know there is an "Extension" folder in database.

In FMM2017v.8.0.2, there is 8147 players in extension database.

When you start a save with "Large database", the system will select 1000 players from 8147 players to supplement you selected database.

What is the rule to select 1000 players?

I am wondering this question for long time. When I ask SI this question, SI refuse talk detail about it.

The rules as I know are below:

1. Players who already exist in selected database  will be not be added again. (Obviously, haha!)

2. The players will be picked who's club are already in selected database. For example, player A is in club X in extension database. If we start a save by select England solo database and club X is not in it. Then Player A will not be added anyway.

3. Players will not be added to clubs which already have 38 players and no B team in selected database.

3. The selection maybe is based on reputations. ... (not confirmed)

The player list for extension database is prepared by me. I will upload to vibe soon.

Can we customize the "Large Database"?

Based on my test, the answer is "YES". We can do something about it.

For example, if you start an "England+other+large database option on" save, there is only one Chinese player, Zhang Yuning who is in Vitesse.

But these is another Chinese player, Lin Liangming who is in Castilla in extension database file.

It is possible to make him appear by edit extension database file only.

 

Update:

4 saves for USA, BIH, Czech, Norway national team have been updated in download section.

Someone made a database with every player from other databases in one on a previous version. Hoping for someone to do the same...

Would take a lot of time, if I knew how then I'd do it. I think it involves the PGE

Yes. Someone did. The issue is only updated one database. The updated database can not be used if someone want to start another nation save.

It can be used if you rename the database

What would happen if you renamed the extension folder to a database folder e.g England?

You can try by yourself. Please remember to back up your files before you do.

No. This year, extension folder has all files.

What is possible with fmm2017?

[gazza8]

For every player to be made available

[Jamie Howarth]

Last year I was able to play with the extension database by copying all the files in the extension folder and pasting them in to England Solo folder overwriting the ones already in there, then replacing the files in the extension folder with the ones from the over England folder.

The end result was that I could still load up a new save using England only however a lot of the best players were missing such as Messi, Suarez, and Neymar.

Is this now possible withe the PGE?
