As you can see from the attached screenies, I've followed the instructions for changing a nation's continent - the same instructions used for the last couple of years - and yet things haven't gone quite to plan!

Has anyone attempted successfully to do this on FM16 yet?

Well, I can't really see that from your first screenshot, as there seems to be no "read-only" line in the code.

Was there such a line and you just deleted it? Or was it not there to begin with?

Have you maybe tried inserting the line

<boolean id="is_read_only" value="false"/>

?
 
I have not, but I'll have a look... But yeah, unless I'm completely missing something, the last couple of FM's it was simply a case of altering that highlighted false, changing it from true. I didn't explain that well at all. lol

Did you have any luck making the field editable? Because I would very much like to do that as well... ;)
 
Never mind, I found it myself and it does indeed appear to be the same as in previous years. :)

For those new to this "feature": Go to the directory

Programs --> Steam --> steamapps --> common --> Football Manager 2016 Editor --> data --> format --> database

and open the "nation" file in Wordpad. Search for "continent" to find the following section:

In the line marked with red, the value "true" needs to be changed to "false" as I have done.

Spot on, mate. I haven't got around to trying it again yet... Helps if I'm looking in the right place, of course! cheers

I have checked and the field does become editable if you follow the steps above. :)
