FAQ:

Q - I have downloaded a tactic, a set of tactics and when I put them in the tactics folder, just like in the thread, I can find them when loading up the save

A - Check that the file has the .tac extension. Some users, especially when uploading sets of tactics, have used winrar or winzip to compress the file. Thes files needs to be unrared(unzipped). If you don't have winrar/winzip, buy or download an evaluation copy and install it on the computer. Then right clock the file you want to unrar/zip and select unrar/unzip. Move the files from the new created library as in the thread.
 
another way is by downloading it, click on the arrow next to the tactic in the downloaded bit, click show in folder, copy the file into the tactics file :)
 
Im sorry but i have a big problem. (Sorry for my bad english) I tried upload a tactic for 2 times, but the file and the informations is missing! I do something wrong? How can i upload a tactic? Thank you so much.

Are you trying to upload it in the "Download section", then the file has to be approved( might take a day)
 
every time i go to import a box appears saying file could not be imported.

PLEASE HELP
 
When I try to import my file it cant be seen. It has a .php extension, how can i convert it to .tac ?
 
Some tactics i download appear not to be a 'TAC File' but a 'Shortcut'? How do i get these to work?

Forget that question! Just had a mess and figured it out.

I right-clicked the shortcut, clicked properties and then opened file location.

o_O

what is the filename and extension?

an archive would be <filename>.zip <filename>.rar <filename>.7z or similar

a tactic file would be <filename>.tac and this is what FM uses (you would import it by going to "tactic>manage tactics" on your team's tactics page and selecting "import")

if it's an archive, then you need to get the appropriate program to extract it (or just get 7zip as it will handle them all and it's free.. Google it ;) )

Are you sure that the tactics have been placed in

My Doc/ Sports In./ Fm11/ Tactics ?

If so, do they have the extension .tac?
If so, have you left the tacticsscreen ( ex click your team and go their again) and re-entered, clicked the archieved option in the drop meny ?

If so,then I dont know
