There is a possibility to upload player and staff backgrounds. Actually there are some player and staff backgrounds already, but very few.

The problem with player and staff background is that they would require a fair amount of work to collect HQ images and make sure the images are up to date. Imo it would be no point in having a player background if the background and cutout look like two diffrent people.

On the other hand, stadium backgrounds require little to no maintaining. Once you found a decent image of the stadium, there is no need to update the image, unless the team move to another stadium.

Therefore I won't upload player and staff backgrounds anymore, but feel free to do so yourself

Just download a picture of the player and make sure the file has the same name as the player UID. You can find that in the sortitoutsi database.

Then you crop the image to make it 16:9 aspect ratio. If the image is very large, try downsize it to 1920x1080. Select "player" or "staff" when uploading.

Just PM me if you have any more questions

Just tried it with 1 player. Not sure if I have done it right. Looks like it’s taken ages to load. Has a green bar beside it

Beautiful work, congratulations! Please help. I followed all instructions above, and still cant see any images:
- unzip and then move "sortitoutsi Google Earth 3D Aerial View Stadium Backgrounds Megapack" on graphics folder.
- unselect skin from dark to basic, and reload skin...

Any idea of what I must do now? Thanks.

PS: Never mind. I forgot to clear cache. Once I did, photos came through. Thanks.

PS2: I appreciate the effort, but the stadium images make my screen too busy to read comfortably. I had to revert back to the Dark screen. Thanks anyway.

Great work!

One quick question:
Is it possible to disable the backgrounds and just use the stadium pictures?

I use a custom background and would like to continue doing that, but I really like the stadium pictures in this pack.

I don't think it would be due to the way the config file is made I'm afraid.

Thanks for all your hard work this looks amazing.

I'm wondering if I've done something wrong - I have downloaded the original pack and updates, but for some reason I am not getting all the stadiums. For example, when I am loading Premier League and Bundesliga clubs, I get the league logo as a background rather than the stadiums. However, with other leagues like MLS I am getting the stadiums. Is there anything I have done that will have caused this?

I have tried reloading different skins and it doesn't seem to make any difference unfortunately.

Edit: I tried moving the leagues folder out of the main folder and it doesn't seem to have fixed it. Rather, it is showing Wembley stadium for all English teams for example.

Sounds as if you have another background pack possibly and that is conflicting with this one. Try moving any other folders out of your graphics folder, then clear cache and reload skin in preferences to see if that fixes it.

Loving this pack, any chance of updating the London Stadium for West Ham to show the updates to the stadium making it more identifiable as West Ham rather than the Olympic Stadium??
