    Version 1.0.0.6 is live

    * Much improved player score calculation which makes it a lot fairer to compare different positions and roles. (the algorithm was made by loading all players in the database worth 1M or above and checking ratings of best in the world, vs 3th, vs 50th)

    * New way to load scouted lists so you can load another one if you previously loaded one

    Issue of user Chunky is because a standard view was used in the 'search player' screen instead of the view that comes with the tool.
    I will make an update to the tool that (just like when you load squad view) it will tell you when the wrong view was selected to make the export.

    Can you sent me the file you are trying to load ([email protected]) or PM it to me in the chat here
    If you used the seperate link of the download, did you unzip all properly (you are not loading the exe from inside the zip hopefully)

    I've now released the "hotfix" through the auto-updater.
    V 1.0.0.5 is mainly about the fix for scouted lists not working in certain cases
    + 95% of all position/roles have been added, but some more player score calculations tuning will come for this (but I hadn't had the time because of the urgency to release this to have the fix out)

    If you are able to built the same view in FM17 it might work...

    I have to say that this is a brilliant piece of work. Simple to install and navigate. I enjoy the QoL changes you are making and the ongoing support. I am using it for FM20 and it's very enlightening. I've not had a single bug or issue. Very impressed.

    Those having issues loading a scouted list, you can download a preview 1.0.0.5 version here:
    https://davystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/pcmstoryblobcontainer/FMLineupTool_1005.zip

    Just extract the files over the installation in c:\davydepuydt\fmlineuptool and overwrite all when windows asks

    This is an intermediate version... a official update to the tool will come tomorrow or the day after and inculde even more changes

    DavyDepuydt • 4 years ago
    @ScarletSovereign it's one of the first things on the todo-list, together with the "show me the best tactic for my team"

    But now I'm completing a new version where I want to address crashes people have + all positions/roles will be included + rework of the score calculation

    Hello @DavyDepuydt, the first time i used the tool everything worked fine, but now i always get an error when i load my scouted list.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    DavyDepuydt • 4 years ago
    @MattJFMgamer, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you mate, and without sounding rude, I can say I'm quite sure it's something on your end that is or has gone wrong, and not with the fundamentals of the tools itself as you go as far as calling it a "faulty product".
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    DavyDepuydt • 4 years ago
    FYI, I'm preparing a bigger release for tomorrow or the day after where ALL positions will be present and the calculations will be even improved (in terms of the post-calculation that is done to be able to compare the different roles and positions)
  • MattJFMgamer's avatar
    MattJFMgamer • 4 years ago
    Just won't bother with this now as it seems it just doesn't want me to use it even, though I have nothing custom about my tactics, seems you have a faulty product.
