@Fidney, when using these files there's a bit of overlay on the kits. Any idea what could be causing this? Whether it's something my end or if it's something which needs to be tweaked in this download?

I just dragged all my graphics over from my Football Manager 2018 directory to my Football Manager 2019 directory, and I am not seeing any issues.


Could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

@Fidney, thanks for the explanation. I'll check and correct the path, though I kept it the same as FM18's iirc.

Does it make a difference if I have changed my user data folder to somewhere else? I imagine the first part of the path will have to change accordingly, right?

@Fidney, I had the bit in bold below missing:

user data folder/graphics\pictures\kits\2d\outfield\front\default (with everything from graphics in lower case).

It's also working fine on a different hard drive than C, so you can be sure it works as long as it's installed properly. Thanks again

kindly there is the possibility 'to have a package of default kits with logo and technical sponsor or in any case a new version for fm19, thanks in advance

Not sure I understand what you mean, this pack does include logo and sponsor for the default kits as you can see from the screenshots in the OP.

@Fidney very probably my request is not clear or not possible, I thank you anyway and I congratulate you again for your work

@MirkoFerrari6 I get what you mean now. It is possible.

There are 14 files (0.png to 13.png) in the attached zip. Extract them and then place those 14 files in the following location, REPLACING the 14 files with the same name that are already there:

C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\graphics\pictures\kits\2d\outfield\front\default\logos

Enjoy :-)

Folks,

The eagle eyed brian-q has spotted an error I made with the numbers when I first introduced them to my default pack in February 2015!!

The number "34" is different to all the other numbers. For those who have alrady downloaded by SS'18 default pack v1 here is a replacement "34"

Simply save this over the existing file called 34.png that you will find in the following directory:
C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2018\graphics\pictures\kits\2d\numbers\default
CARE - There are several files called 34.png in the pack, all in different folders - please make sure that the ONLY one you replace is the one in the above location.

Pack updated to v2 which contains the corrected "34".

@Fidney sorry I have a curiosity, how can you make a package of numbers? thanks again for your work

For those in the pack I just re-sized the SI ones because they were too wide for the SS style shirts, but that was back in FM17, however the FM2019 numbers are thinner anyway so you don't need the ones in the pack (I no longer use them).

However, if you really wanted to create a set from scratch you need something like Photoshop - but be warned, with 99 numbers to create it's a drawn out painfully boring process.

1. You basically create a transparent square approx. 90 pixels wide x 80 pixels tall.
2. Add the number 88 (because 88 is the widest number in the set) as a text layer using your preferred red font and red "ink"
3. Change the font size so that it almost fills the 90 x 80 box
4. Duplicate that layer - he original then becomes your number template - toggle it so that layer is not showing
5. In the duplicate layer, edit the text to change the number to the next one you want (don't do any more resizing).
6. Then you "rasterise" the duplicate layer you created (which basically turns the number into a shape) and add a green stroke (it's one of the Photoshop effects) 2 pixels wide.
7. Resize the canvas to 220 pixels x 220 pixels (which doesn't do anything to the number you have created, just adds more empty space around it.
8. Save that as X.png (with X being the number you have made).
9. Delete, the created layer.
10. Toggle the template layer so that it is showing again.
12. Go to step 4.

There are other ways of course, but the above is what I would do.

I have a technical question.
I extracted 3D default kits and I'd like to edit them to make them more compatible with these 2D default kits. My question is what should be the coding line in config.xml if I pack them later as a stand alone pack?

Or, if @Fidney is interested, perhaps we could join packs and put them all in a single pack, both 2D and 3D default kits?

As Fidney isn't here that regularly, perhaps I can assist. There should be a config file in the folder with the 3D default kits that you've just extracted; can you not use the same one?

Hi mate - sorry for the delay in responding, as mons said, I don't get round to visiting sortitoursi as often as I used to, or as often as I'd like.

Interesting that there is not a config in the defaults 3D kits. I've tried experimenting with creating 25 all black default kits (makes it easy to spot if they are being used!) and adding a config to it on the same lines as in the 2D kit pack, but, no SI ain't gonna make it that easy. All I've managed to do is make the kits that hang behind your 3D manager on the start screen black!

Hi @Fidney

I was wondering if you could help me and make me a slightly different version of kit number 16 (both front and back)? I'm looking for a more narrow stripe in the middle (same or slightly more narrow stripe than kit number 17 and 18). Just because I think the number 16 kit looks to similar to kit number 9

No problem. How's these?

@Fidney I don't know if I'm stretching my luck, But I like the version of the number 16 kit so much that I would like you to make me kits number 17 and 18 with the same stripe (same width of stipe) that is more narrow than the one in the pack.
