Hello and welcome to my guide to use Genie Scout. This guide will mainly apply to the public version of Genie Scout and will attempt to answer as many questions as possible. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding via PM or bycommenting.

1. Drop Down Menu and Quick Access Menu

Mastering the use of GS is all about knowing where everything is, as the program itself is pretty simple. The drop down menu appears when you left-click on the GS logo on the top left of the screen. The quick access menu is composed of the small icons to the right of the GS logo and these are no more than shortcuts to menus. From left to right theydo the following things: Load Game, Load Last Game, Load Shortlist, Import Shortlist, Save Shortlist, Player Search, Staff Search, Club Search and Squad Search. All of this and more is customizable by left-clicking the small arrow to the right of these icons.

1.1 Load Game

The first thing you will need to do once you have installed Genie Scout is to load your game. Genie Scout differs fromFMRTE in that you cannot edit any information using Genie Scout.

Once you load the game you get the home screen with no data on it. In order to load your game you have two options. The first is to left-click the big GS symbol which gets you the drop down menu in which you can select Load Game, or by left-clicking the first small icon to the right of the GS logo which will take you directly tothe load game window. Alternately you can use the Load Last Game option which will load the last game played and that can be done also via the drop down menu or the second icon from the left on top.

GS12 will automatically set its directories to the default FM2012 directories so there is no need to worry about directories.

1.2 My Shortlist

Here you have the option of importing a savedshortlist of players from your FM game, exporting a list of players saved using GS to use in your FM game, or simply opening any shortlist file to scout any player contained within it.

1.3 Export

The Export option allows you to export the list currently on the main interface to be viewed in three different formats, in HTML for online use, using Excel or a spreadsheet software, or in .txt to beused with any text editor. This is useful to post something about a player on a blog or website.

1.4 Search

The search option is another way for you to scout. It provides 4 options, a normal player search, a staff search, a club search, or a player by squad search. The first three are more easily accessible from the main interface, the latter is useful to look at your own team if you are...
