  • OSFL SETUP

    1. Go to your universe directory (i.e. H:\Games\FOF2007\universe)
    2. Create a folder called "OSFL" and a folder called "NFL" (the "OSFL" folder will be your MP folder for the OSFL and the "NFL" folder will be your single player folder with the NFL team names and cities.
    3. Now copy the current "frfoot.fcy" and "frfoot.fni" files from your "UNIVERSE" folder into your "OSFL" folder.
    4. The tricky part now is getting the old files from your original cities and nicknames list. These should have been backed up. If you did that, copy those to your "NFL" directory. If you didn't, you will need to recreate them within the game (or have somebody send them to you). Anyway, once the game looks like the NFL cities and nicknames are right, copy those two files ("frfoot.fcy" and "frfoot.fni") into the "NFL" directory.
    5. Next on the list is getting your logos in the right folders. Put the "OSFL" logos (the *.bmp files 1-33) and put them in your "OSFL" directory.
    6. Put your "NFL" logos (*.bmp files 1-33) into your "NFL" directory.

    Now that you have done that, you have all the files in the right spot. Next up is making a batch file that will move the files around everytime you load the game. It's not hard, just cut and paste. So let's move on.

    7. Right-click on your desktop and select "New-->Text Document".
    8. When that opens up you want to copy the code from above verbatim into the text document.

      Wow I am so lost it isn't funny.

      Where do the OSFL Files from Downloads go?
      Where does the export_5_18 file from the forums go?
      What does creating a text file do? I can't make it a shortcut...it only opens up the text file.
      Where are the "old files" that are the tricky part in part 4 above?

      Why is this so hard?

          Aaron, if you want to send me the instructions as well, I can throw them on web page as a "new users guide" with fancy links to all the necessary files.

              You can recreate the original files yourself, if thats what you mean by nfl files. Just delete your frfoot.* files then restart the game, it should be back to the NFL cities and generic mascots. Make sure you back those files up 1st though just in case.

                  I am not sure what that file is. It might be settings or something. You can leave that one if you are just trying to get the original cities back.

                  The files that really matter are: .fni and the .fcy files. They are the ones that have the city and team info. If they aren't in your universe folder when you load up the game, it will resort to the default and make new files.

                  Once you load the game you might have to actually open the city and nicknames menu from the global options menu and then save them for the game to actually create the new files-- I can't remember if I had to do that or not, but it will work cause I have done it before.

                        I'm transferring to a new PC, and have everything set up - except I'm missing OSFL2007.2012. Can someone post it? The setup file goes to 2011, and I grabbed 2013 and up from the forum, but the 2012 season isn't there anymore.

                        Unless I'm missing something?

                          I'll see if I can find it.

                            Anyone have this? Obviously you do, but anyone wanna post it? :) It's in the 'leagues' directory. OSFL2007.2012. If someone wanted to post a zipped file with OSFL2007.2006 through OSFL2007.2016, probably wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
