REVOLUTION MOD 14 V1.

GENERAL

About
The .lua files are written in the programming language Lua. I have been able to add new code to
some of these files to change which files are loaded so the graphics loaded in matches can be
conditional to custom settings. Some of these functions allow things which where not previously
possible, some are currently possible but avoid editing the database so they can be used in saved
careers.

Using
To use this mod, open the needed file in a text editor such as Notepad (I use Notepad++). Then add
the statements you want to add to the correct file, and then save.
Statements should be placed in lua files in data\fifarna\lua\assets\assignments\, see statements
section for which file to place statements in.
For automated assignments, the file just needs to exist to be detected, no assignment needed.


Changes from FIFA 13 versions
Overview
Many statements have been removed.
User statements are now entered in different files.
The naming convention for some automated assignments has changed.

Adding Statements
All user statements will now be placed in external files which are all now in directory
data\fifarna\lua\assignments\, a file called general.lua has been configured for use, although you
can add extra files. For assignments related to teams, these should now only be placed in the file
referencing the teams ID in the teams folder. For example, assignments for Barcelona (241) should
be placed in the file data\fifarna\lua\assets\assignments\teams\team_241.lua. For assignments
related to players, these should now only be placed in the file referencing the players ID in the
players folder. For example, assignments for Lionel Messi (158023) should be placed in the file
data\fifarna\lua\assets\assignments\players\player_158023.lua. If the needed file is missing, create
it.
The reason for the introduction of the team and player statement files is to increase the limitation of
statements which can be added. Before each match, assignments for the teams and players
involved are loaded from the specific files and are deleted before the next match. This means that
the limitation is related to the number of general statements, plus the number of statements in the
two largest team file (for matches where those two teams play each other).

Removed Statements
Due to a smaller limitation of new code, statements which can be automated have been removed.
The following statements have been removed and their function is now automated only:
assignAutoAdboardVar(teamid,tournamentassetid,stadiumid,varient)
assignAwayTrainingKit(teamid,kittype)
assignClassicGKKit(teamid,kityear)
assignGenericTournamentAdboard(tournamentassetid,adboardid)

replaceGenericBoots(list)
setArenaModeAdboard(adboardid)
setArenaModeBall(ballid)
setArenaModeGKKit(teamid,kittype)
setArenaModePlayerKit(teamid,kittype)
swapAccessorySpecific(playerid,oldaccessoryid,newaccessoryid,newaccessoryvarient)
useAutoBenchPlayers()
useAutoKits()
useTrainingKitsInArenaMode()

The following statements and their specific functions have been removed.
removeSeats()
setAwayCrowdSize(size)
setHomeCrowdSize(size)
useGlobalAdboard(adboardid)
useGlobalBall(ballid)
useGlobalBoot(bootid)

The following statements have been removed and their function partially automated, with the
remaining functionality in a new statement:
assignTournamentRefereeKits(tournamentassetid,set,collarnumber)
The kit assignment is automated; a new statement is now used for the collar,
assignTournamentRefereeKitCollar.

The following statements have been renamed:
swapAccessoryGeneric (now swapAccessory)

Automation
Many more features are now automated. For those which where automated in FIFA 13, the
following naming conventions have changed:
Manger
Bench Players
Boots
Kit Numbers
Kit Name Font
Pitch Colour
I have included scripts which will make copies of these with the correct new names. Kit names, kit
numbers and boots where changed to allow added functionality. Managers and bench players
where changed as the previous convention had some conflict with the generic files in a very small
number of cases.

Accessories
The generic recolourable accessory texture files have been replaced with coloured ones. This allows
recolouring to be disabled so automatic player and team specific accessories could be added. These
do not overwrite the original files.

FIFA 13 Files
Despite a different format, a lot of FIFA 13 files work correctly in FIFA 14 without conversion. Known
exceptions are face files and stadium containers.

Regeneration
When this mod is first installed, FIFA 14 must be regenerated. Regeneration is not necessary when
the lua files are edited, or any new files are added in the assignments folder or subfolders.

Custom ID Range
When adding new items, you are free to assign items IDs which are outside the range of the
database. For example, an expanded database allows boot assignments with the upper limit of
4096. Since this mod does not use the database, you can assign to IDs higher than this limit. I would
not recommend trying to use IDs less than 1.

Limitations
There is a limit to the amount of custom statements you can add to this mod. This may vary based
on the statements. Exceeding this will cause your game to crash. If this happens, remove
statements until your game runs.

External Files
You can add additional external files for statements general statements. To do this you must create
a new Lua file (a simple text file with the extension .lua) in FIFA
14\Game\data\fifarna\lua\assignments\.
The only needed content of the file is your statements. To enable your additional file, you must add
a statement to assets.lua (FIFA 14\Game\data\fifarna\lua\). The statement is:
addExternalFile(filename)
You only need to do this for general statements files, not team and player assignment files.
The filename must be in quotes and include the file extension. For example, if you add an external
file called refkitcollars.lua, you would use the statement:
addExternalFile("refkitcollars.lua")
These statements must be placed in a specific part of the file, and this section has been annotated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--PLACE CUSTOM ASSIGNMENTS BELOW HERE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

addExternalFile("refkitcollars lua")

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--PLACE CUSTOM ASSIGNMENTS ABOVE HERE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes the game will ignore files with certain names. The reason for this is unknown. If this
happens, try renaming the file and updating the assignment to reflect this.

Using with Saved Careers
In FIFA 14, editing your database can cause problems with saved careers. The general rule is
graphics can be changed but the database can not. Therefore you can use Creation Master 12 to
import graphics to your game, just do not save the database. For example, you can use CM12 to
import a specific face for a player, and then add the needed line of code to player.lua to see the new
face in your game.

Commenting
If you want to add some comments into the code, you can do so by typing --, followed by your
comments. This can be done on a new line or after a statement. This is standard Lua syntax which
stops the rest of the line being read as code. For example:
--Player Faces
assignPlayerFace(166706) --Martin Skrtel Face

Net Bug
A bug exists where if you play consecutive matches in a stadium, the net will remain the same as the
first match regardless of assignments. A solution is not yet known.

Kit Selection Screen Bug
Sometimes the kits shown in the kit selection screen will be an alternate or tournament kit if that kit
was used in the previous match. The correct kit will be present in the actual match.

Wrist Accessories Bug
The game will not load wrist accessories when a player is wearing long or under armour sleeves. If
you use this mod to change sleeve or winter accessory settings, then wrist accessories will not show
if the original settings from the database set a player to wear long or under armour sleeves for the
match. If any wrist accessories are swapped for others, then the new accessory is subject to this
removal.

Pre Match Arena Bug
Sometimes your game may stutter during the first few seconds in the pre match arena. I believe this
to be related to player and team files being loaded at this point.
