FROSTY TOOL QUICK INFORMATIONS

Frosty Editor is an incredible platform to make advanced mod's projects + testing, etc.

Frosty Mod Manager is a tool to import, apply, manage and merge mods

On addon FMM is required to properly start and make game to read modded files

​

IMPORTANT TIPS

After the download don't extract *.rar but follow steps below

to avoid Win security and properly unblock every Frosty library in one click:

To "unblock" all files/dll inside rar archive, right-click it in Windows Explorer,
choose Properties from the context menu, click the Unblock button in

the lower right-hand corner of the resulting dialog, and hit OK or Apply

Do this for FrostyEditor_vXXX.rar and FrostyModManager_vXXX.rar

You can now extract both *.rar archives in two different related folders.

​

CRUCIAL TIPS

You must run Frosty tools with an Admin user login in your Windows

Always run Frosty as Administrator and so please

 set FrostyEditor.exe and FrostyModManager.exe

to always run with administrator permissions

​

Is also very important that you must Take Ownership in your Win for the whole folder: \FIFA 17

so Frosty will be able to write and take full game files control, otherwise it will crash.

If you are expert in Windows you can do this in Property - Security tab, Advanced tab, etc.

 

EASY WAY TO TAKE FULL CONTROL FOR \FIFA 17 FOLDER

- Download this package

- Extract in a folder

- Right click on InstallTakeOwnership.reg (the script will add a new context menù item)

- Now browse the folder where it's located your \FIFA 17 main folder

So if your game patch is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\FIFA 17

Go inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\

Now Right click on FIFA 17 folder and then from context menù click Take Ownership

- Finally Right click on FIFA 17 folder, Property, untick/disable read only attributes, apply.

​

ALTERNATIVE WAY TO TAKE FULL CONTROL FOR \FIFA 17 FOLDER

In many cases the only way to fix Frosty issues is to reset folder permission

​

There are common solutions to many more issues between FROSTY - WIN SO - FIFA

ENJOY

​

If you are unable to run game with Frosty tools and you can see an XPE64 or similar error

when you click Lauch, you can download the fix below, it will work perfectly in x64 WIN 7, 8.1, 10

​

EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE FROSTY FIX GAME STARTING ISSUES

DOCTOR+ PRODUCTIONS - POWERED BY GALAXYMAN FROSTY

​

Apparently the tool are not working with many game versions
on both with some Windows settings combination/version.

In many cases this fix will perfectly work and modded game will run perfectly.

​

HOW TO INSTALL FROSTY FIX

- Download fix pack from here
- Extract *.rar archive in a folder
- Copy new bcrypt.dll and overwrite in:
  \FrostyEditor_v1.0.3alpha3\ThirdParty\
  \FrostyModManager_v1.0.3alpha3\ThirdParty\
- Unblock bcrypt.dll in Windows file property (read above)
- Delete if present bcrypt.dll in your \FIFA 17 main game folder

Before you click Launch check if ActivationUI.exe is running, in that case kill it.
NOW GAME RUN FINE WITH FROSTY

FROSTY EDITOR GUI INTERFACE

FROSTY EDITOR FIRST START

First time you run Frosty Editor it will ask to select your FIFA17.exe main fifa executable

 generally placed in \Origin Games\FIFA 17\ folder

First time also an FIFA game files cache will be generated,

don't worry, so next time you run the FE tool it will start very quickly.

I suggest to check out every week for Frosty Suite Updates from provided link.

When a new version come out, follow my already explained tips and on addon:

from oldest version copy the following files: "FrostyEditor.ini" and "fifa17.cache"

inside the new Frosty Editor updated folder. Do the same for "FrostyModManager.ini"

in this way you can avoid to configure pointing exe and generate game cache again.

Take care: in the future when go out an Official FIFA Title Update (as example for the 18)

I suggest to delete "fifa1X.cache" and so Frosty will properly regenerate files index.

You must re-apply my fix to both future Frosty tools if you used or unable to start game.

MAKE - TEST - RELEASE - APPLY YOUR FIRST MOD

Boot Flow Splash Screen Mod -  No FIFA 17 text and logo.

No Photoshop - No Intel Texture Plug-in required

(In alternative you can use your favorited method to make the DDS texture)

Easy steps you have to learn in order to understand how Frosty tools work

Difficulty Level: EASY

Close FIFA 17, close Origin EA Client

Is good if you quit from every other software in background like, video rec,

etc. but also quit and close not required programs.

- Run Frosty Editor

- Download GIMP Portable 2.8.22 from here and install in a folder

- Download GIMP dds 3.0.1 plug-in (Windows 32-bit binaries) and extract in a folder

- Copy "dds.exe" inside: \GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

Run Gimp, File, Load and open the *.png related to the image you want to import - must be 1920x1080

If required you can edit the image as you want

Now again File and then click Export As...

from the menù (in lower left) click on Select File Type (By Extension)

Now scroll down and highlights "dds" and then click Export

In the new screen you can setup DDS property:

Compression like the one you see in Frosty default texture infos in this case TF_BC3_UNORM - BC3/DXT5

About MipMaps setup like the pic in this case because default Mip Count is 1 in Frosty

Click OK to save your DDS. Close Gimp. Check pic below it will help you.

New dds texture is now ready to import and then back to Frosty Editor

Click Import - select the created dds

new texture will be imported as you see in screen preview

I suggest also to always check out the Log Section

You can now save the .fbproject just in case you want to re-open quickly in the future

In this case isn't required because the mod include only one file,

not the same if you do a complicated mod and multi file editing.

Disconnect LAN/WiFi card, Origin must be closed

now click Lauch in Frosty Editor in order to test your mod, put password in Origin

Mod will be tested, ModData folder will be generated (first time you see an advice, hit ok)

and game will start - check if everything it's fine and if texture is correctly displayed in-game.

In this case the new texture is properly displayed. Image below.

Avoid adding logo in the texture because I think is much more beauty the clean wallpaper.

OK. It's now time to pack and export your mod.

In Frosty Editor go in menù click File and then click Export to Mod

Populate/add mandatory fields, add mod's pic preview, description, etc.

and then click Save, add file name, click save again.

Mod will be saved in two files (as example): splash_mod.fbmod and splash_mod_01.archive.

To share the mod you must rar and upload both two generated files because in the

*.fbmod are stored file references, in the *.archive are stored imported data resouces.

​

Now it's time to permanently install the mod in the game

Close Frosty Editor and run Frosty Mod Manager.

Create a new game Profile like MOD. Click Import Mod and browse your *.fbmod

One click on mod Title to see mod's description

Double click mod Title to Apply Mod, click Lauch to dream.

 

It's like an ultra long tutorial but beleave me next time you can do this in 10 seconds.

​

FMM importing sequence is also valid for Frosty Mods you download from Soccergaming forum, or Moddingway.

Now you are ready to do a little step forward in terms of "modding's difficulty"

In the next tutorial you can see how to properly edit many FIFA 17 Legacy Bundles resources
