@tarrantino: Dalglish is under disliked people for Man Utd and I can find him there on both FMLE and in-game. Definitely not a club favourite.
@whiteij7544: Please check your private messages or the live chat.
@tarrantino: Oh, I see. I'll run some tests to try and figure out a safe way to apply such changes. Thanks for explaining.
Keep us posted on the data relations. 😀
@jamesh: Natively no. Only if you set up a Windows VM on your Mac.
@blackpoint786: Understood. I'll play around with this and message you tomorrow with my findings.
As I asked before, it would be interesting and interesting to see some graphic changes to the default jerseys (including the classic on-pitch icons) and compare the before and after.
Thanks again.
@tarrantino: About editing names, I've avoided it initially. How would you like to edit a name? Give me an example.
About data relations, I can check once home but this should be FM normally.
I also loaded Man Utd and Kenny Dalglish is a favourite player??? Is there a data pull problem or is this FM?
@blackpoint786: Let's do a test. Give me an example of what you want to change and how, and I'll try to do it and show you before and after.
Now to answer your question. I did a test on a new save to edit the finishing attribute of Roque Santa Cruz, then continued to the next day and checked the Game Status screen. In-Game Editor Used says No. So I assume this probably changes to Yes only if the official IGE is used?
@blackpoint786: The license fee is an one-time payment for the entire 2026 versioning.
You may currently change the kit colors but not the kit style. It's possible to also make the kit style editable in a feature update, but I haven't mapped out all the options for that yet.
What do you mean by switching languages? In the initial version I only have English, but I've prepared everything for localization. I'll be soon looking for people to help translate the app in more languages.
I'm not planning to use it at the moment but would like to know if I use it; it will be shown as editor used in game status? thanks
Another question: I read that you can change the style and color of the default kits in the game. Could you post a guide or maybe just some screenshots? This is the part that might interest me and other graphic designers...also because I can't save anything with FMRTE this year and I'm also having problems switching languages.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
