If you are not interested in adding "fluff" to FM08 i would recommend not reading this.
I have been a fan of FM since 06 and have always wanted a little more "fluff" from the commentary. I have found a file by Tazskool that adds many events to the game engine, resulting in new and more in-depth text commentary.
The only problem is that this file is made for FM07. However, i tried it in 08 and it worked (only tried 2 matches though) so i dont know if it will cause an error and crash.
I do have experience modding games, primarily MVP baseball, and i am handy with a computer. I have edited many other games for personal use. However, i cannot write code or anything of that nature. This is a little off-topic but i want anyone that is still reading this to know I am serious about modding this game.
Finally, on to my questions;
1. I want to add more precise commentary but I wouldnt want a low-level player performing a "Hopscotch" for example. How can I differentiate high and low level player commentary? by PPM perhaps?
2. I would like to get a better understanding of the game engine and what makes different events occur in the events.cfg. Anyone with any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
3. I would like the Report and Replay to read the same as the Ingame. How can this be done w/o having to manually go through each event. Example from the events file,
INGAME ENGLISH: <p1> centres the ball.... couldn't have measured better
REPORT ENGLISH: <p1> centred the ball
REPLAY ENGLISH:
There is a lot more but if there is no interest in this project then its pretty pointless to go on.
Only serious responses please.
