Im sorry if this sort of thing has been answered many times before but I couldnt seem to find anything.

I have had Champ Man 00/01 and 4, im thinking of getting FM 2006.

I have a few questions about editing.
I want to create my own team, me and my mates local team, and then stick them in D1 or something. How easy is it to create my own team? I dont mean how time consuming, I know it will take a long time with so much data, but what I mean is how programming based is it, how user friendly? I can do a bit of java but thats about it.
What sort of editor would I use?
Is there one I can use to practice on the demo?
If made on the demo would I be able to use them in the full game?
If made, would I be able to send the file to my friends somehow to use on their game?

Many Thanks

You looked and that's a damned sight more than most people here do!

Sounds like a reasonably good thought!

And you have FM 04-05 I take it? You never said. If you have CM4 as the latest version (as you haven't actually specified any later versions (CM 03-04 & FM 04-05)) then I'm not sure any more whether there was a data editor with it. No... I am. There was. It was actually quite stable.

Please tell me what version you are using... Forget about the programming. You don't need programming experience.

The pregame editor that generally comes with the game.

Um... No. The demo uses a partial database and is not compatible with the editor. You will need to purchase the full game to experience the delights of the game that most of us have been playing for nearly a year!

I *think* the answer to this is yes. I haven't tried it since, for the sake of 6 months of the game (which is all that's playable in the demo IIRC), I'd rather just start afresh.

Yes. You are free to share your databases with your mates. The database currently weighs in (zipped) at 35mb roughly so you'll want somewhere to upload it to (Google for free file uploaders, I use my own site when hosting) and your mates will probably want a decent speed broadband, otherwise, they'll be twiddling their thumbs.

Hope all this helps.

Thanks for your answers. No I havent had any later versions than CM 4 as cos the game engine is so realistic the game doesnt really go out of date quickly. I didnt do any editing with them, but do have a fair bit of experience fiddling with files making sound packs ect.
I think ill just wait for the full game and have a crack (a try that is, not a cheat ).

CM4??? Realistic... Ok. Well, yes, it was. But it had massive problems that were only really addressed in FM 04-05.

In the meantime, why not put your hand in your pocket and spend a few quid on FM 04-05. You won't regret it! And besides, I hear Miles is wanting to put a new black leather covering on his limo interior!
