FM 2011 Scout Utilities - FM Assistant 11
FM Assistant 11 is a real-time scouting utility for Football Manager 2011. It is similar to Genie Scout, with the difference it's in-game so you need to have FM2011 running like FMRTE. You can say it's a combination between those two famous programs. Try it out and see for yourself.


Updates will be difficult this year, since Kostas (the author) joined the army for his obligatory 8 months duty, but he will try to keep them coming as often as possible. While he's gone, I have his permission to repack the download when the framework files get updated, so you will be seeing new versions exclusively from FMScout.com.

Updated: 18 Nov 2010 - v0.96 Beta (added Steam support, but needs testing)
Released: 13 Nov 2010 - v0.9 Beta

Available in English, Italian and Turkish. Featuring two themes.
Localize: Want to translate it in your language? Drop me a PM here or an email to: stam [AT] fmscout [DOT] com

Requirements:
* .NET FRAMEWORK 4.0 (standalone offline installer)
To find out if you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed, you can use the free application "Framework Detector".
* Patch 11.1.1 or Patch 11.1
To use this version of FM Assistant 11 you must have your game updated with the Patch 11.1 or 11.1.1 first.

Screenshots:


How to use:
  • Extract the archive in a folder of your choice, don't try to run the app from within the archive! Make sure to extract the contents of the downloaded file first, otherwise it will trigger an error.
  • Run Football Manager 2011, and load your save game (or start a new one)
  • Run FM Assistant10 (ALT+TAB to desktop first if you're running FM full screen)
  • Click Load > Load FM2011
If all done properly, the fields should get enabled. You can reload as many times as you wish.

Compatibility:

This version is compatible with:
  • DVD Version with Patch 11.1.1 or 11.1
  • Steam Version with Patch 11.1.1 or 11.1
  • Digital Download versions with Patch 11.1.1 or 11.1
    If you have a digital download version and it doesn't work for you, send me a PM.

Does it work for MAC?
No, but you can try CrossOver Mac or Darwine.

Discussion & Bug reports:
There are a few bugs going on, mainly with contract dates, hopefully we will fix it in the next version of the framework.

Post your ideas/suggestions and bug reports by commenting on this page.
IMPORTANT: Please, please when you get an error, have a look at the Logging folder, and if there is a Log.txt file, please upload it to your personal file space on this site and link it in the forums with exact details on how your error occured.
If there is nothing in the logging folder, what you can do is compress and send your save game file and then explain exactly how the problem is reproduced.

    @theomech

    please upload your saved game somewhere and send me the link with exact instructions on all the bugs you've found.
    i might be able to have a look tomorrow and release a more stable version before i go.

    @naff123: Supposedly the framework should be compatible with Steam counterpart, but it isn't. If Kostas had more time, I'd be certain he could do it - but as things stand now (army crap) I can't see it happening at least until new year.
  • naff123's avatar
    Is there not going to be a Steam Compatable Update Confirmed??
  • Stam's avatar
    @jorge: You don't need to install it; it's a standalone app. But I'm not familiar with Mac. However, there is a guide you can follow that might help you. It was originally written for last year's Genie Scout, but it should apply to any app.

    Hi
    I have a question... My laptop is a macbook and i have a wine app but i don't know how to install fm assistant
    someone can help me???

    thanks
  • Stam's avatar
    Well, Kostas is joining the army on Wednesday so we can hope there will be a framework update before Wednesday, so we can have a compatible FMA 11 version soon. I'm talking about Dr.Bernard's framework.
  • naff123's avatar
    My bad lol

    do you know when or if there will be a Steam Compatable ver?
  • Stam's avatar
    What are you on about? You posted another comment on another page, nothing was deleted.
    If you're using Steam, well it just won't work because Steam auto-updates FM with the latest patch and current FMA version is not compatible with patch 11.1.1.
  • naff123's avatar
    I just posted Feedback and its been deleted :O

    I said that it doesn't work on Steam i have the Normal Patch

    i cannot install the DVD ver because my disk drive doesnt read the FM disc even though i have DVD-RW

    its all loaded on my game but Assistant does not pick it up

    Nor do i have a Bug report file to send!

    Any ideas?
  • theomech's avatar
    It doesnt give an error..
    It just freezes ..
    I find out also that if i choose one of the positions on the right top corner it works normally
    so a quick sollution would be to either remove this option (for now) or to make an new position smth like "none" or so
  • Stam's avatar
    @theomech, and anyone who experienced the status bar freeze issue:
    Could you please help by properly submitting the Log.txt that should be generated on our FM Assistant forum?
  • nsammut's avatar
    I found out why it is not working for me.

    Steam downloaded the latest update 11.1.1 and i did not notice.

    FM Assistant not compatible with this fix.

    An updated is needed please.
  • nsammut's avatar
    Yes of course i got the game running.
  • Stam's avatar
    @Ulster: You sure you have FM11 open and running, right?
    @nsammut: Same question for you too mate.

    On a side note, if you have an original copy of FM2011 you can PM me. We got some reports that for guys using the FM11 digital download, they could get it to work somehow.

    Having problems getting it running.

    1. I'm using a dvd retail version which is definatley updated to 11.1
    2. I'm definately using .NET Framework 4.0

    3. I start up fm2011 and load my current saved game so it is up and running. With the game still running I then Run FMAssistant11 but when i click the load tab in top left and then 'Load FM2011' it displays the following error message everytime "Error loading FM 2011. Make sure you have a new or loaded game of FM2011 up and running. Closing in 4 seconds". The 'logging folder is empty so i cant provide any log.txt files.

    Any suggestions? Obviously I understand there will be teething problems with a BETA version and your efforts are already massively appreciated mate :o)

    Cheers.
  • nsammut's avatar
    I installed Net framework 4 and i also have the upgrade but when i press load fm2011 i get and error:

    "Error Loading FM 2011"
  • theomech's avatar
    Be sure that u have .Net Framework 4.0 Installed
    And that you have 11.1 patch running (if u use a cr@ck3d version u have to use the 11.1 cr@ck)

    after that i cant rlly think of anything
  • Gabriel's avatar
    I open the wizard but I can not load the fm
    What should I do?
  • theomech's avatar
    Ok seems that some times it stops the search (stops filling the bar of progress)
    READ THISI think a "quick" bypass is too ALWAYS CHOOSE a position (right top corner) that u want to search
  • revoolution's avatar
    leeroy500 - same problem here !!! searching only woderkids and wonderstaff ..
  • immuner's avatar
    thanks for the feedback,

    i do have tested it and it works fine on my 11.1 dvd version.
    however, remember this is a FIRST BETA version. it has bugs and thats why you can send a bug report.

    you can go to help->about and send me a bug report with details on how it happened.
    most of the bugs are due to the framework reading the memory at runtime which is always tricky.

    cheers.

    Thanks for your comment theomech. I'm certain Kostas will be happy to see more people downloading his program this year, and I'm personally happy of being in a position to help him with it on my own way. I truly believe the layout/interface is top notch and pretty much usable.

    You do realize that due to his army duty we won't be seeing regular updates, so I'll make sure all comments (both suggestions and bug reports) are written down on a forum thread properly; this way I'll minimize the time needed for him to go through the comments and do the sorting himself.

    Let me also add it just feels good this is a Greek production, heh :D
  • theomech's avatar
    1st)Works (dont forget that u need 11.1 Fm patch and .net framework 4.0)
    2nd)Gives quite good results(been testing it for a while)(still needs work on this one example: It gives TOO many good DC (based on the RP))
    3rd)Mpravo mwri paiktoura :)
    4th)Need small improvements (sometimes when u hit enter it doesnt calculates the new filters you have just set (needs to press the search button with the mouse))
    5th)Ksana mpravo :)

    Thanks for downloading and providing comments.

    Please understand I have not personally tested this version as I haven't yet installed my FM11 retail. It is the first FMA11 beta and was solely tested by the author himself; he'll try to look through all major bugs before he joins the army on Wednesday.

    It's also unlucky for Kostas that the 11.1.1 patch came out few hours ago, bad timing really. The program is using the same framework FMRTE is using, so as long as there is no FMRTE compatible version to 11.1.1 there won't be a compatible FM Assistant version either.

    Apologies for any inconvenience, and thanks for understanding.
