Since there was no answer to the contest and due to recent events that meant the TCM series has changed it's name and is now called FIFA Manager I have decided to cancel the banner contest.

In addition, due to game's new name the new website will not be called TCM Zone Israel but instead it'll be called Manager Zone Israel.

The new website is almost ready and in fact, all I got left is to translate it from Hebrew to English and upload it.

Important to note is that the website will continue to be accessible through the current addresses in addition for the two new, more fitting address that it'll have, I hope you'll like the new website, I worked hard on it and had some though time in bringing it to it's final and satisfying condition and layout, any feedback about it will be welcome once it'll be up and running.

Cya,
Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

In the last few days I've been working on the new website's layout and I finally have someting to show you, I hope it'll help you create a suitable banner, and as said, the winner will get to see his or her banner proudly shown as the website banner and will be credited for it as well.

Remember, once you have created a banner please send it to vollachr@walla.com.

As you may know the next game in the TCM series is getting closer and closer to us and to this occasion I have decided to give my website a new name and a facelift.

A name I already got, TCM ZONE ISRAEL and I got some ideas about the layout tho, the only thing I can say about it right now is that it's goanna be in blue & white.

Now, I'm sure you are wandering what is this contest, well, a new website needs a new logo & banner, so what this contest is all about is creating a banner for the new site, for this I will supply you with a base blank picture and the new website logo I have created.

I f you ask what will you get out of it the answer is simple, the winning banner will be proudly shown on the top of the website and its creator will be credited in the newly special credits section and the main page, so here is what you need to remember to make a banner for my website:

1. The banner have to fit into the spirit of the TCM series.
2. The banner have to fit into a blue & white layout so preferably no contrast colors.
3. The banner must include the new website logo.

Once you have created a banner please send it to vollachr@walla.com. 

I'd love to see as many banners as possible but please note that this contest will end around the month of December since this is around the time when the new TCM game is scheduled to be released, I hope you'll like what I have in store for the site and this time YOU might have a part in it.

As said, the "Inserting Pictures to TCM 2005" guide as gotten a second mirror today, this mirror is courtesy of FMCorner's Totti who agreed to host the guide files for us, thanks you Totti, from all of the Israeli TCM community (as small/medium/big as it might be).

I do encourage you, if you have the basic knowledge in picture editing, to read this guide as it is very simple and will enhance your TCM gaming experience .

Cya,
Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Today, I have uploaded a new guide that explains how to create and insert player pictures into TCM 2005, the guide is available in both English & Hebrew, each language have 2 version for this guide, the first one is an office 2000 & above compatible document & the other is a backward compatible version that works on office 6 & above.

All of this files are available to download from the guides page.

Now, about the email request.

I have to ask you, the people who surf this website to start and add some extra contact options when you send me an email that require my response, this is because I have recently received an email that did not indicate the sender in the from area of it and therefore I was unable to respond to it, an example to an extra contact way is a ICQ number that will allow me to find you on ICQ if something like the mentioned above will repeat itself and this way I will still be able to help you.

I hope this has settled this matter, I feel really bad when I cannot answer someone because of a non satisfactory contacting options.

Well, that's it for today and thanks for reading this, I hope you will comply with this request.

Well, it is finally here, the MegaPack file is ready & waiting to be downloaded form the website's download section.

In case you don't know the MegaPack is a package that is made from the MegaPatch-Network's MegaPatch & my own Israeli patch & add-ons together & is made to help anyone who want to install them together.
The file is recommended to download for those of you that have a broadband internet connection and/or wasn't able/didn't install the two patches together yet & have the patience to download an approximately 100MB file.

To check what exactly this package do please go to the Updates Info's Total Club Manager 2005 section & the Info links beside the MegaPatch files on the downloads page.

I hope you'll like this package, I worked long & hard to make it as flawless as I could possible make it, any feedback will be welcomed.

Cya,
Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Well guys, I'm afraid I have some bad news today, as the headline says the MegaPack release will be delayed a little bit but not canceled.

The reason for this delay is quite simple and it starts on May 14th, a day after I announced the MegaPack, when I was going to upload the file I found out that FileFront have a problem wiht their servers, this problem continued for several days and was seem to be fixed yesterday afternoon, the problem was that uploading a file this big takes more time than what I had yesterday afternoon so I couldn't upload it.

You may ask why not uploading the file today, the answer is quite simple as well, my computer won't be up and running for much time today since I am getting a new PC today and will have to reinstall my Windows operating system because of it, something which probably going to take a day or two, meaning I won't be able to upload the file before tomorrow or even Thursday but don't worry, I'm almost sure that the file will be available to download by Saturday, maybe even Friday.

Sorry for any inconvenience that may have been because of this delay but it wasn't and still is out of my control.

Sorry guys!

Cya,
Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Not to many people know that but I have been working lately on something that I hope will rock the Israeli TCM community & maybe the rest of the TCM community as well to it's core.

Now, you ask what can it be, well it's a huge MegaPack file that includes the MegaPatch Network MegaPatch alongside with my Israeli league patch and it's add-ons.

This pack size will be approximately 100MB and will have it's own installation, meaning you won't have anything to do but writing the database to the game.

I believe I achieved the closest result to perfection I could with this MegaPack and I will start uploading it tomorrow, assuming there won't be any server problems so it should be up by Sunday or maximum Monday.

In short, it will be available to download from the site's download page on Monday if there won't be any problems, in the mid time I suggest for those who have a broadband connection and didn't download the MegaPatch and/or my Israeli patch & add-ons to wait for this pack.

It is also important to clarify that every additional add-on I will release for my patch will be compatible with this pack and/or any installation of the MegaPatch & my Israeli patch together, I hope you'll like this pack and that it'll improve you TCM game experience to a level that you didn't know before.

I am all hope that this package will be a success with the TCM2005 community in Israel & the rest of the world as one.

That's it for today's announcement.

Cya,
Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

The 2nd add-on is uploaded and ready for download.

You can read what it do on the "Update Info" page.

You can download the add-on from the downloads page here.

I hope you'll enjoy this add-on as much as you did my original patch.

In addition to the add-on you can also find the Hebrew manual for TCM2005 for download in eMule or eDonkey on the downloads page.

Cya,
Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Yeah, Just like the headline says, the first add-on for my patch is finally here, you can read what it does on the "Update Info" page.

The faq page was also updated and you can download the add-on from the downloads page here.

I hope you'll enjoy this add-on as much as you did my original patch.

Cya,
Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Yep, my E-Mail has changed and therefore the E-Mail  in my patch Readme files is no longer valid, it will work but I will no longer check it so if you have my email address in your address book I suggest replacing it with the new one which you can find by clicking the "E-Mail Me" button on the site menu.

Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Today we have a welcome addition to the downloads page, an alternate mirror for the TCM2005 Israeli league patch.

Usually the mirror would've been on FilePlanet but not this time, this time it is on the Israeli gaming website Vgames.

Since some of you who surf my English website probably don't know how to read Hebrew I just linked to the file itself on their servers so what are you waiting for go ahead and check the new mirror out.

Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

For those of you that don't know what MPN is, it stands for MegaPatch Network, the MegaPatch-Network is a bunch of TCM  websites from all around the world that work together in order to make the most complete patch for TCM, that means a patch that will update most countries, leagues and badges, this is The MegaPatch. All of those website unite under one main website, FM Corner.

Now, what do joining them mean?

It means that they can use the database and badges from my patch in the MegaPatch and in return I'll be allowed to put the MegaPatch on my website for downloading and of course it also means that both website (FM Corner and my website) will give each other credit for their work.

The MegaPatch is already available to download from the downloads page and as for what exactly the MegaPatch do, just click the Info link by the download link on the same page to get to the file's page on FM Corner, this page will include a German and English description of the file.

In addition to the MegaPatch update I also added some more guides to the guides page so go and check it out.

Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Yep, the problems on the FileFront servers was finally fixed and the patch is here and ready for download from the site downloads page.

of course the updates info page was updated accordingly as well.

Important Note: You don't need to worry if you haven't downloaded my patch previous version because version 3.0 (final) include everything from the previous version as well as the new updates and is a standalone patch, there is no need for the previous ones in order to install it.

I hope you'll like my patch now that it is in it's last form and soon there will be a new update to the website.

Notice: Starting today the site can also be accessed from this address: http://www.tcmprojectisrael.up.co.il.

Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Yeah, I know I promised the 3rd and final version of my TCM 2005 patch will be up and downloadable by midweek but due to FileFront server problems I couldn't upload the file till now and as of this moment I still don't see the end of the server problem, I do hope that by tomorrow they will fix this problem so I can upload the file and it'll be available in the upcoming days but I cannot make any promises but it doesn't mean I don't have an update for you today.

First thing first, the "More Sites" list has been updated but that's not all, I have decided to open a new section on the website, the Screenshots section, this section will include screenshots of my patches and you can access it by either click here or through the menu bar.

There are currently a total of 74 screenshots from the final version of my TCM 2005 patch in this section.

Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Yep, it's finally here the mirror for my version 2.0 TCM 2005 patch, this mirror is from FilePlanet that after a long time finally approved my file.

You can find the link to the file page on FilePlanet in my Downloads page.

Now, lets get to the really interesting part, My version 3.0 TCM 2005 patch.

So, what can be so important for me to update about in this matter you ask??? Well, nothing much actually, it's just to let you know that version 3.0 (final) will be released soon, I'm just doing some last minute updates and then it'll be released so you can basically expect it by midweek (I hope).

And as promised in the last update there will be a surprise in that version.

Anyway, I hope you'll like it when it does come out, I have put a lot of effort into it.

Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

So, what is the update huh? well the update is really small and simple so first thing we have the editing TCM 2004 with Artmoney guide added to the guides page.

In addition to that I am currently working on the 3rd and last version of the patch for TCM 2005 with intense and it is going to include a surprise that was not planed originally but I'm not goanna tell you what it is or it won't be a surprise.

Also, as you can see there is a little change in the "More Sites" list, TCM Scotland was removed and the two very good German websites, FM Gate and FM Corner was added.

Well, that's it for today's update.

Ron Vollach, Webmaster.

Important note: In case you have already installed my patch it might be necessary to reinstall it after this update, in that case all you need to do is copy the file "without.sav" from my patch into the "database" folder of the game then run the editor, import the tdb file again and press the "Write Current Database For Game" button.

If you haven't installed my patch yet, it is recommended that you install this update first.
