Mini-Scout 2.0


I am glad to announce you that a new version of Mini-Scout is finally available for Football Manager 2009 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2 patch.
Download page

The tool has been mostly recoded which is why it took me a little bit longer to release this version.

What's new?

-First Mini-Scout is no more an Editor

I got several feedbacks telling me it wasn't good to put a scout and an editor together and after playing some time during last summer I came to the same conclusion. So for the sake of serenity the program no more have the possibility to write in FM memory. I may release a Mini-Editor later.

-The program is now fully translatable. To do so you just have to edit the file in the language directory. Don't hesitate to contact me if you wish to add your language file in future releases and if you have have any question about it.

- There is now sub-ratings for each player position, you can find all of them in the attribute panel. The main panel also shows sub-ratings for the best rating position and you can switch rating by clicking the position button below.


- Added staff rating for each employment, also training efficienty.

- Added current, home, world, reputations
- All panels now refresh when clicking a player in the search panel.
- Lots of minor tweaks


A note about the sell value:
The sell value address used in FM08 is no more updated in FM09. The value is now dynamically calculated upon certain parameters like player/club reputations, CA, Age..., each time you make an offer. To calculate an accurate sell value it would require to find all of those parameters and the weight used for each of them which would be a very tedious work.

If you're looking for cheap wonderkids your best bet now is too check the player's current and worldwide reputation , also the status of the player in the team. From my test the home reputation has few impact, the current reputation approximately multiply a young player value by 4, the worlwide by ten, the status in club by 5. Also the club reputation does modify this value a lot.


Cheers, and best wishes for a healthy and prosperous new year! Smile

28/12/08:Uploaded a new version

I forgot to disable a debug function that slows down the program after some time and occupy unnecessary memory space.I recommend to use this new version.

Falzar read carefully the note at the top of the language file. If it crash you either edited something that shouldn't have or the encoding of your file is wrong. Send me your file and I'll check.

Thx a lot, mx Amster! I have always been a fan of your scout since 08.

Just one question, the main panel wont stay on top of the full-screen 09("on top" is check marked) as it did with 08, is there any chance you know why?

Im using Vista btw(and mini08 worked perfectly with my vista).

why i can't see the floating window (CA+PA+Other Info) from the game?

i have to click ctrl + esc,
back to desktop to check the CA+PA

last time (FM2008) i can hav the window on the top of the game.

i run FM2009 in full screen mode.

thanks!

I am not sure why it does not stay on top in full screen. Maybe because the game now use directX which is handled differently from normal windows. In windowed mode it should work fine though.

thanks for all the good work :)

it would be fantastic to get the sale value accurate but I understand that it would be almost impossible.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the great job you've done. I've come across one issue - when I create a shortlist, the regens visible in Mini-Scout don't show up in the shortlist in FM09. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the editor or the game, but I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this.
Cheers!

Firstly, thanks for a great utility.

I've got a bug where the player age values are wrong, with a 15 year old valued as 93 in Mini scout, while a 36 year old is put in as 72 in Mini scout.

I am using 9.2 with a copy bought off steam. Any help would be grand. Thanks.
