Beta Update #4 - Edit the weather for every city

Now, in the beta version, you can change the weather conditions for any country and in every city.

It's not just a cosmetic change because the weather affects gameplay.

HOW TO EDIT THE WEATHER?

THE WEATHER IN A COUNTRY
After you selected the country you are going to edit, click on the button "Edit Weather".

In the opened screen, you can set the weather which will prevail in every month.

Setting time of the year (Winter, Summer etc) affects how the stadium looks in the chosen month. For example, if you set "Winter" for March, it means that you will see snow around the stadium in March.

Also, for every month you can set how often there will be an abnormal weather (heavy rain, snowfall, heat). The number means the probability of the abnormal weather.

THE WEATHER IN THE CITIES
Many of you wrote that they would like to see the weather to be different for every city, not the same for the whole country. Because, for example, North and South of Italy or France have different weather conditions. In some regions, there aren't snowfalls, but in some - there are often hot days.

Therefore, now, you can set the weather not only for the whole country but for every city (club) as well.

Go to the "Weather in cities" tab, set the weather conditions and give a name to this preset. For example "Eternal heat" or "no anomalies". After that, you can use this preset for other cities as well.

Now, you will be able to make the weather more realistic for every country. In some cities, there will more rainy than in others. In some cities, there will be hotter or snower. And that's all inside one country.

Btw, could anyone say in which countries which exist in our game, there are most of all different weather zones?

HOW TO START PLAYING BETA?

Click on Football, Tactics & Glory in your Steam library with the right mouse button. Select “Properties”. In the appeared window open the last tab and select “beta - autumn update”.

HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM THE DEFAULT VERSION?

The access to the Beta is opened for everyone who owns the game.

While default version is polished and without known bugs, the Beta has new features but there might be bugs, crashes, bad or absent translations, other issues. We try our best to keep Beta as polished as possible, but it's Beta after all.

Update of Beta #3.1

In today's Beta update, we don't add anything special. Just finished the localization of the feature which allows you to rename the tournaments the way you like. Added German, Italian, Chinese, Korean and other languages.

Sounds like a tiny thing, however, it's a very thorough work. Because every language needs an individual approach.

For us, it's very important to know if the renaming feature works well. Therefore, if you rename the tournaments in your modifications, write us, please, on the forum if everything works fine in your language.

Update of Beta #3 + Vote for us!

UPDATE OF BETA

Today, we have updated the Beta-version of the upcoming big update which will significantly improve our Leagues Editor.

The main addition to the Beta is the editor of the tournament names. Currently, it supports only three languages: English, Ukrainian, Russian.

You are allowed to change the names for all in-game tournaments: leagues, domestic and international cups.

It would be interesting to know if it's easy for you to find the button which opens the screen of renaming tournaments. We believe it's pretty obvious but we'd rather listen to your feedback.

You can edit the names in different languages. Therefore, if players play your modification in one of the supported languages, the tournament names will be understandable for them. Otherwise, they will see the default names.

The main idea of this and other new features which we are currently working on is to give you the possibility to create realistic football leagues. We are sure that changing the names of the tournaments will increase the immersion.

Additionally, there are the following improvements:

Added hints to all elements of the Leagues Editor.
Sometimes, when you generated a team with some power, the resulting power was half-star higher or lower. Fixed.
Great guys from the studio "Only Sound" started experimenting with the UI sounds. We added some new sounds to the game. It's only a first iteration so there will be changes to them.

VOTE FOR US!

Steam started the Autumn Sale and its traditional Steam Awards event.

Editing weather in the modifications

We continue working on the big update which is going to add revolutionary improvements to already great Leagues Editor.

Today, I want to tell you about one more feature which we started working on.

Soon, you will be able to edit weather in any country. Do you want to create eternal winter? Want to change the frequency of heavy rains? Want to change an existing country with an average weather on a new one with hot weather?

It will be possible soon:

Eventually, we want to give you the same possibilities we have ourselves when editing leagues. But at the same moment, we want to create a very useful interface. Also, we are changing the data structure so the game can take the outer data from the modifications.

Current status of the development of the new features

At the moment, we are still developing the new features I have told you the last week.
In around 1-2 weeks we are going to update the Beta with these two features.

Two big features for the Leagues Editor

On this week we didn't update the Beta because there were quite hard features to develop.

But I want to tell you a bit about these features. I'm sure that players who love developing and editing the leagues will be glad to hear what we are working on.

Changing the number of the teams

We want players to be able to edit the number of teams in every league. The minimum number of the teams will be 8 (10 for Premier league). The maximum number - 20.

Now, it will be possible to create more realistic championships. Also, there will be a space for experimentation with league formats.

However, the general rules of the tournaments will stay untouched. I.e. no matter how many there are teams in the leagues, the teams will continue to participate in the Prestige, National and continental cups.

Changing the names of the tournaments

Many players asked us about that. And finally, we have decided to do it.

The main complexity is in taking to account all the forms different languages can use the tournament names in. So we remake all the texts, search for tournaments names, and create special editing sheets for every language. It will be very easy for English, but significantly harder for German or Russian, for example.

But when we finish this features, you will be able to rename every tournament. I'm sure it will make the playing experience much more realistic.

Btw, when testing this feature we used some weird names for the tournaments just to be sure that everything works as expected even in the weirdest cases. It was very funny to see how these names in the game. Just look at the screenshot:

When will it be possible to test the new features?

We really hope to release them into the Beta in around 2-3 weeks. Despite they are partially working in the internal builds, we don't want to release them not finished.
