sortitoutsi Background and Stadium Packs
The Backgrounds Megapack was originally made up of aerial shots of stadiums taken from Google Maps and Google Earth, but is now also containing Competitions, Player and Fan Backgrounds, as well as beautiful City Images.

So this part is relevant to you @Footygamer:
Wouldn't it be pretty easy to make multiple dimensions acceptable for a certain category? We could just take it on like the facepack, so for stadium inside pictures it would be preferable to make them in 1200x720, but when the source image is small/low quality, you're allowed to submit them in 800x480. Because otherwise we're going to be left with either a lot of unnecessarily blurry backgrounds, or simply the smaller nations staying empty forever, as there aren't any images available of decent quality.
And it's not only the small small nations really, even for teams in the top division of Belgium or Poland or whatever, it's pretty hard to find good stadium pictures sometimes
Footygamer
There should be no issue allowing multiple size formats.
It's possible that we could restrict based on dimensions rather than size (other than a minimum size) and then the server downsizes them to one optimal for FM. This would allow people to upload high quality 2400x1440 or higher ones. This would be beneficial if we want to upgrade the size again in the future due to changes within FM or computing in general. However something like this would be pretty low down the todo list. Just thought i'd mention it.

@Qvordrup Ok, so I start saving the new updates with the following dimensions (Cities 1200x600 - Stadium 1200x720). I have a problem .. I have a package of images for Kosovo (cities & stadium) that I collected from various sources while looking for the images to make the 3d kits, so even with all the good will I don't know where to go to look for the images again of the stadiums, however, with patience, I can again search for images of the cities. Can I therefore send you the images of Kosovo (especially the stadiums) and ask you to make an exception for these images to be included in the megapack? Even the cities .. but in that case, if you think it appropriate, a new search would certainly be possible to do.

@Footygamer That sounds great 👍
Then i believe it would be very appropriate to change all the following upload restrictions to have two possible resolution (but same dimensions) in one go:
Persons: 1920x1080 or 1600x900
Stadiums backgrounds (outside): 1920x1080 or 1600x900
Stadiums inside: 1200x720 or 800x480
Competitions: 1920x1080 or 1600x900
Nations: 1920x1080 or 1600x900
Nation Team Fans: 1920x1080 or 1600x900
Continents: 1920x1080 or 1600x900
Team City: 1600x900 or 1200x675

As you can see the resolutions are right now a work in progress. So lets wait and see how this ends and then hopefully you will be able to upload any kosovo stadiums and city pictures your self 👍😀

Ok, I understand, thanks for your patience 😉
Yeah would be great if you could implement that sometime 👍

Thanks for this wonderful work 👍
But when I was extracting the latest file version 2022.07 update I noticed a few couldn't open or displaying header errors/ data errors.
Is there something am not doing right or should I download the megapack again?
Thanks once again
brennerssf
could you host this new update on another server? example: mediafire
skeleton40
megasync should hold what is already downloaded eg 5gb and if you wait for the 5 and a half hours and start the download process again it should continue from where it stopped and finish the remaining 2.5gb

Yes, it completed eventually!

first link dont work i cant dowlοad with mega aplication. thank you how to dowload it;
Gabez Gabez
Yeah getfiles mirror is not working! Please update this mirror! 🙂

Yes, my reply reaffirming that I'd successfully managed to complete my download, albeit after a five or so hour wait at the 5gb point, seems to have been deleted. But yes, all okay now albeit it's a more convoluted and confusing procedure when the size exceeds 5gb.
By the way, is the new version of 2022.08 definitely ready to download? It now saying the size is reduced to 2.28gb on this website, but when transferred to Mega to re-download it's still saying it's 7.34gb's.
Same. I'm having a problem downloading a file. @Qvordrup

Hi folks :-)
Woverhampton Wanderers` Molineux has a missing Stadium Inside picture. Before the June Update it used to be there.
Thanks :-)
Good spot, it seems this particular image is corrupted or something. Can you upload it again? @geordie1981
@AgentGarcia If you download the latest image on this page and place it in your stadium folder, it will show up again
https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/17/1176775/timeline
So the image itself isn't corrupt, that just happened with generating the pack I guess

@BramNUFC
Thanks a lot :-)

The new Getfiles link is now working and at the smaller size. Mega file still at 7.34gb.
This stadium doesn't show up either:

If you guys spot more, please leave a comment here

Just searched the pack by file size and those two are the only ones showing up as 0kb so that should be it for now. Guessing there was an error during the file compression process maybe.

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone could give their recommendation on what skins they are using?
My OPZ Elite just keep crashing on me and now I can't find any alternative good skins that can show this pack beautifully.
Thanks!

Hey,
I have downloaded the file for FM22 before and it worked absolutely fine. However, the recent changes are corrupt and have been crashing my game. I have deleted the megapack because of this thinking it was an issue on my end. Well… it's not. I re-downloaded it and got a pop-up saying that the zip file was corrupt. So I think the creator of the pack or anyone who controls the contributions, needs to sort it out asap because I currently cannot play FM anymore because it crashes my game before it even loads…
If this issue is sorted then let me know please… this pack has been super cool to have and it has made my experience feel more interesting.
Can you make screenshots of when exactly you get an error and what it says? Everything is working fine for me
Just downloaded the latest update again, and it's giving an error when extracting indeed. Can you check it out? 👍 @Footygamer
