Kits were recognised by the id range 6_300_000..=6_400_654, so stadiums, badges, balls and league logos all fell through to `Other` and were silently dropped from the import — a club could own them and Core would never hear. Club items are now settled by `cardsubtypeid` (kit 9, stadium 10, badge 11, ball 30, league logo 31), which is the discriminator the client's own club-item resolver uses and cannot collide with the other classes: consumables occupy 51..=341 and staff 4/6/8. The render gate generalises with it. Each family ships a CONSTANT cardassetid (kit 35, stadium 36, ball 37, badge 39, logo 40 — verified across all 2302 shipped rows), so a copy carrying anything else is deferred rather than drawn as the wrong art. Only kits additionally require a teamid, because their identity resolver keys on it and real owned kits carry it; demanding one of the other families would defer every legitimate badge, ball and stadium. League logos map to `misc`: they have no equipped slot, so Core holds them as generic owned content rather than inventing a designation. The real profile is unaffected (it owns no club items beyond its kits) and its emitted catalog is byte-identical.
OpenFUT
⚠️ Status — see
docs/PROJECT_STATE.md(canonical). The working, actively-developed target is FIFA 17, not FIFA 23. Everything below this banner describes the superseded FIFA 23bridgelineage and is kept for historical context.Run the server (canonical):
cd fifa17-recon/docker/fifa17-python && docker compose up -d— seefifa17-recon/FUT-RUNBOOK.md.openfut-coreis the shared offline backend (still used by the FIFA 17 path);openfut-bridgeis the retired FIFA 23 integration.
Offline Ultimate Team — like SPT, but for FIFA 23.
OpenFUT replaces EA's retired FUT servers with a fully offline, single-player backend. You own FIFA 23 legitimately. You just want to keep playing after EA shut down the servers.

SQLite database
Core is game-independent. It speaks a clean REST API and knows nothing about FIFA 23 internals.
Bridge is FIFA-specific. It speaks FIFA 23's wire protocol and translates it into Core API calls. Bridge is where all reverse engineering work happens.

cargo run
# Start the proxy (for traffic capture / FIFA integration)
cd openfut-bridge

Core listens on http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default.
Bridge listens on http://127.0.0.1:8443 by default.
Design Principles
- Offline-first. No EA account required. No internet connection needed.
- Single-player only. This is not a multiplayer server emulator.
- Data-driven. All cards, packs, SBCs, and objectives are JSON files. Everything is moddable.
- Clean architecture. Core has zero knowledge of FIFA 23. Bridge has zero game logic.
- No copyrighted assets. No real player images, no EA trademarks in data files.
