If you ignore the FAQ, and make an idiot of yourselfoutright, you waive your right not to be shouted at. So pay attention.Where either Techcities or Sports Interactive are mentioned, theweb-sites will be found in section 4.This FAQ can also be found at: Posting Guidelines.Read a FAQ on netiquette before posting. You should have read onebefore subscribing to the group. There is no excuse for ignorance inthe middle of an information superhighway. If you need to test yourability to post, do it on alt.test, not on alt.games.champ-man.If in doubt, Quote. If people can't tell what you are replying to,they will become agitated and prone to flame you. Don't quote anentire post, just to respond with one line. Quote only the relevantpart of the post.

Nopictures, sound files, or (God forbid) video clips. Post binary filesto news:alt.binaries.games.champ-man, or put them on a web page andadvertise them in the Newsgroup (once will be sufficient). If youdon't have a web site, you can get a free site from Geocities, see for details, and any number of other similarservices.Q. What about tactic files, they're only a few KB?A. Most news servers block binary posts, regardless of the size, so alot of people will not be able to download the original post as theydid not know it was there... so despite the small size, post it tothe binaries group, where it will show up on every ones news server...Try not to post the same message more than once. It is very annoyingand you are likely to be flamed, it is also know in the group as aMcShane, and you will be called a gimp. Try not to post the whole ofthe message you are replying to. It is not a good idea to ask peopleto put the CM3 demo on a "warez" site or ask for the URL where it canbe reached. If you do get into an argument with someone on thisNewsgroup, don't start getting a 3rd party involved in spammingpeople. The regulars on this Newsgroup will help each other out andthere is a LOT of regulars !!Don't post in ALL CAPITALS. That indicates shouting.a.g.cm is NOT an advertising forum. While using a.g.cm to trade goodssuch as games, software, CDs, items directly related to the gameChampionship Manager is tolerated and, by many, actively encouraged.Posting "for sale" ads for other items, whether football related ornot, is generally considered to be "spamming" and annoys people.Unless they're both topical and highly amusing, trolls are frownedupon. Don't ask stupid questions, or make bogus statements, merely forthe response. See a psychologist, or enrol in your country's armedforces.Try to avoid starting or getting into "My X is better than your X"type arguments, where "X" can be your country, computer, other teamsyou happen to support, or indeed anything else. Such debates arepurely subjective and achieve nothing other than filling the Newsgroupwith irrelevant opinionated rubbish. While you have every right toyour opinion, and you might be convinced you're absolutely correct,we're not interested in hearing it. Also included in this aresubjective opinions on real life players (i.e. X is crap, Y rules) andabuse aimed at people depending on which club they support.You should not post, unless your post directly concerns ChampionshipManager or Football. Slight deviations will be acceptable.Do not make specific posts advertising your site, just include thesite address in your sig lines or forward the site info to me and Iwill include it in section 4 of this FAQ.Use common sense. It goes a long way. You know what's stupid, andwhat isn't.2. The games.The English versions:CM1 (92/93 season);CM93 (93/94 season);CM93 End of Season (93/94 season);CM94 (94/95 season);CM2 v1.37 (95/96 season);CM2 v1.56 (95/96 season);CM2 v2.00 (96/97 season);CM2 v2.81 (97/98 season);CM2 v2.93 (as above, but patched - date Jan/Feb '98);CM3 v3.02 (98/99 season);CM3 v3.03d (as above, but latest patched version - date 4 June '99);-There have also been various foreign versions.2.1. CM9798A lot of questions have been asked on which is the best formations ortactics to use in order to be successful. This should help.Some of you may be finding the CM 97/98 very difficult. The followinghints and tips are from Marc Vaughan who has taken Brighton to the topof the Premiership within 10 seasons.There are quite a few differences in the game engine between the oldCM2 and 97/98, mainly some of the bugs (sorry features) which madeuser defined tactics too successful have been removed. This makes thegame much more challenging. I'll give you a brief guide to success(well I got Brighton into the Premiership using these tactics so theycan't be too bad).Problems Scoring ?If you are not getting many chances, buy a player with high creativityor several forwards with high heading, and a decent corner taker. Ifyou are getting chances but not converting them, buy players with highshooting and heading ability. Also specifying a player with high setpiece and shooting abilities to take direct free kicks will help.Leaking Goals ?Every shot goes in - this tends to indicate a bad goalkeeper. Judginggoalkeeper form is very hard and it may take a while to find agoalkeeper who will perform well. Permanently under pressure - thistends to indicate that you have a weak midfield as opposed to a poordefence and that they aren't holding the ball up and giving thedefence some relief. Try either packing the midfield with more playersor switching to long ball tactic, if you are not already using it.Poor defence - if you have few good defensive players, then tryplaying 532 with midfielders in the wingback positions and your bestdefender in a sweeper position in the centre, usually he will mop upany strikers who get past your weaker defenders.Favourite Tactics ?The tactics which I prefer are 442 long ball if out-classed by theopposition or 532 long ball if not. However my team specialises in setpiece headers and crossing (hence the long ball and wingers) your teammay not. The best idea with tactics is to pick one of the standardtactics and modify it very slightly to fit your team.Buying Players ?Take in mind when having purchased a new player that he may take timeto settling into your squad. I usually play them in their first fewmatches as subs and if after 4-5 games they haven't started gettingratings of 7+ then I start thinking of moving them on. When purchasingplayers if you have the money look around at the Under 21international teams for promising youngsters. I nearly always buy atleast 4 youngsters at the end of the season, put them on shortcontracts and see how they perform. If at the end of the season theyhave an average rating of 7.00 or over, put them on a long termcontract (as long as possible try 5-7 years) otherwise simply releasethem.When searching for a player, always ensure that you have a sensiblefilter set. Below I have listed my base filter:Heading 10+Inj Proneness 15-Passing 10+Stamina 10+Strength 10+If you are looking for a forward/striker, include the following:Creativity 10+Shooting 15+Heading 15+If you are looking for a midfielder, include the following:Tackling 10+Positioning 10+General Hints ?Make sure that you have an experienced (usually 24+) player with ahigh influence as your captain, if you haven't then your youngerplayers may not perform as well as they might. Choosing correct FreeKick, Corner and Penalty takers is very important.Be very careful when free transferring players as the board will takeoffence if you attempt to free transfer a player of any worth (usually50k+ for a third division side to 200k+ for a premier side).Note that if the board makes more money available to you at the end ofa season, they will expect that to be used to strengthen your squadand so will expect a good league position in the next year.Be very careful when purchasing Foreign Players as they are requiredto play in 75% of games to retain their work permits. If they losetheir work permits then you will be stuck with a player in your squadwho cannot play for you but is taking up a squad space.Of course, if you are following these recommendations, you'll end upwith a team similar to my Brighton squad which may not be exactly whatyou're after...There are also various little hidden features and bugs not mentionedin the manual.-Right Mouse Button:Clicking on Done using the right mouse button when in the main menuwill advance the calendar on a daily basis as opposed to using theleft mouse button which will generally advance the calendar to yournext fixture.

CM3.2.2.1 - ContractsIf the player says he doesn't want to negotiate a new contract at thattime, then he will refuse any contracts you may offer him, no matterhow good they are, to get them to sign a new contract you need toeither play them more often, change their squad status to somethingmore relevant for what they are doing, or improve their morale byplaying them in more games, but sometimes none of these work and theplayer will eventually leave under the bosman ruling.If the player says that they feel that the club cannot meet theirdemands, then offer them a low minimum fee release clause, so they'llbe able to move to a club that will pay loadsamoney whenever a clubbecomes interested and you can't stop them... so a low minimum releaseclause will make them more likely to sign a new contract...If the player wants more wages than you can offer, then (if you arebuying them) you can increase the signing on fee, or (if you arerenegotiating their contract) you can offer them improved bonuses.If you wish to release a player on a free transfer then you must paythat player compensation worth half of his remaining contract, i.e. ifthey are on 1000 per week and have exactly 200 weeks left until theircontract expires then you have to pay the player 100 000... but thisis approximate and you don't pay the player an exact figure, just tothe nearest large amount the same as a transfer fee moves up in jumps,not 100 a time... so a player on 20 500 could require 1 500 000 tofree transfer one week, but the next week that will not be 1 479 500,instead it will either still be 1.5M or go down to 1.4M...The Offer Contract ScreenBasic Wage - just that, how much you are paying him weekly, monthly orannually (depending on your game settings). The player will accept alittle less than what he wants, as they usually name a higher priceknowing the manager will bring it down; however if you are biddingagainst other clubs for the player, it is best to leave the wages asthey are.Signing on fee - only when buying a player, how much you give them ina lump sum when they join your club.Contract Length - again fairly straight forward. The player willusually accept a 1 year extension of what they want...Job Description - only for over 30's, you can make a player aplayer/coach or demote a player/coach to a player... strangely youcan't make a player/assistant manager, despite there being several inthe game from the start e.g. Alex Watson, Torquay...Bonuses:Clean Sheet Bonus - Goalkeepers only, a negotiable lump sum is paid tothem for each senior match they keep a clean sheet in (excludinginternationals?).Assist Bonus - a negotiable lump sum is paid to the player every timethey set up a goal in a senior match, but not available forgoalkeepers for Route 1 style managers...Goal Bonus - a negotiable lump sum paid to the player every time theyscore a senior goal for the club, also not available for goalkeepers,a la Peter Schmeichels 1M per goal...Clauses:Minimum Fee Release Clause - If a club makes a bid equaling the amountin this clause then the player can leave if he wants to without theclub having a say in whether he stays or goes...Manager Job Release Clause - for player aged 30+, if a club without amanager wants that player to be their player manager then the playercan leave for no fee without his current club stopping him.Non-Promotion Release Clause - If agreed then if the club fails togain promotion in any season whilst the player has this clause intheir contract then any club may bid the release value stated in thecontract and the club is unable to prevent the player leaving if hewants to.Relegation Release Clause - If agreed then if the club gets relegatedin any season whilst the player has this clause in their contract thenany club may bid the release value stated in the contract and the clubis unable to prevent the player leaving if he wants to.2.2.2 - History EditingTo do this you need to have the history installed, this is notinstalled with the minimum installation, but might(?) be installedwith the typical installation.In the "History" directory within the CM3 directory, create a new filecalled "Dunfermline Athletic.his" with the following text (the filename and entries within it must match the items full name within thegame):(Do not add the or parts)eg.CATEGORY: CLUBTitle: Dunfermline AthleticSection: Dunfermline Athleticpic: default.hsrDunfermline Athletic, known as the Pars, are shite etc etc etcetcThis creates a basic history entry for Dunfermline Athletic with thedefault picture. This will appear in the Find/Written History pageswithin CM3 and a new History drop down item will appear in the maindrop down for Dunfermline Athletic which will show the same info.Various other options can be added to this:1) Additional or replacement pictures can be added within the text,using additional pic: xxxxxx.hsr tags.eg.CATEGORY: CLUBTitle: Dunfermline AthleticSection: Dunfermline Athleticpic: default.hsrDunfermline Athletic, known as the Pars, are shite etc etc etc etcpic: pars.hsrThey once scored two goals in one match etc etc etcThe pictures will appear on the display as the text it precedes isroughly half-way within the viewing window (except the first picturealways appears for the top of the text). To create a new history picture, use the Picture Editor in the CM3directory (piced.exe) to convert an already-created 257x335 .bmp fileinto a .hsr file. The .hsr file should be save to the "History"subdirectory (the same location as your .his files).2) If you specify more than one Section: xxx tag, a drop downappears with each xxx tag and you can choose which part of the historyyou want to view.eg.CATEGORY: CLUBTitle: Dunfermline AthleticSection: Dunfermline Athletic (part 1)pic: default.hsrIn the beginning, God created Dunfermline Athletic etc etc etcSection: Dunfermline Athletic (part 2)But then he realised they were shite so disowned them etc etc etcWithin the history, you can now select each piece of the historyindividually.An added bonus, because of the way the history works, .his files canactually be changed while CM3 is running, and purely by canceling outof the history then re-viewing it, your changes can be examined.Unfortunately, since the picture editor and CM3 cannot run at the sametine, changes to .hsr files cannot be made and viewed immediately.Too see how things work, look at some of the existing .his fileswithin the "History" subdirectory. "Liverpool.his" is a good exampleas it has multiple sections and multiple pictures
