@SChen1973 No that's not necessary, it should work like this. Are you sure you've reloaded skin and everything?

 

Yep. Done it twice. Even loaded another skin (in case it needed that to ‘force’ a refresh). I take it there's no harm in keeping all of those _backgrounds folders there?

I'd try completely deleting and re-installing if you want to make it work, but it doesn't make a difference keeping them there no

Thanks. I guess that's the only option I've got left. Cheers for the help!

Interesting, I tried another skin (Mr Hough FM23 Mashup Skin V1.1) because the details state explicity it has transparency support and all the backgrounds show. I guess the two skins I was using (WTCS5 and Material Skin) don't have transparency support.

Are you 100% sure they are all JPG? That was the problem for someone else that couldn't upload a pack

Yes mate, have just double checked and they are all JPG

Is it possible to use the stadiums not as backgrounds but as stadium pictures?

 

By BramNUFC 07 November 2022 - 15:33 PM UTC 

You mean the aerial ones? There's a thread here that explains how to create a config file yourself https://sortitoutsi.net/content/60493/how-to-use-a-specific-part-of-the-megapack

 

So if you want to have the aerial stadium images in the place of the inside ones:

 

Set the little dot to background and stadium and the drag the “stadium_backgrounds” folder on to the app. Then open the config with notepad and press ctrl+h and replace “background” with “stadium” and press replace all.

Config lines need to look like this:  <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/xxxx/stadium"/>

 

There is a other option. 

Take the config.xml file from the stadium_insides folder. Paste that file in the stadium_backgrounds folder and overwrite it. 
Now delete the stadium_insides folder and reload skin

 

works fine!

Can you post a screenshot of your stadium inside folder? It should be visible where the ‘config' file is located

@p_baines1 From what I can see you only have 498 images? The file probably didn't extract properly, the config also seems to be from a previous version

 

I'd advise you to completely delete the stadium_insides folder and then install it again from here

@p_baines1  Just saw you actually have 3 stadium folders, can you try just deleting this stadium insides one and then reloading the game?

Is there a way to show the stadiums in the smaller box on the club info screen, but not in the background? I've tried downloading a couple of times and they show in both.

Within your stadiums folder you should have a ‘stadium_insides' and ‘stadium_backgrounds' folder. You can delete the backgrounds one completely if you don't want to see those, the insides are the ones you see on the club screen

Oh my god, thanks! I had it that way last year and I completely forgot how.

I'll be honest, something is not working. I have only city background and stadium insides (the newest 3.1gb packs) and none of these work in any skin that supports backgrounds in fm23. I've tried flut, opz, even the zealand skin (all these should at least support stadiums), but only the default stadium pictures are showing. In fm22 when I haven't downloaded this 23.0 packs - everything was working brilliantly. I don't know what's wrong, I'm not a new person when it comes to custom graphics (there's no problem with kits, logos, faces, real name fixes), but backgrounds are not working, at least for me. I've loaded fm21 to see if this is related to older fm - backgrounds and stadiums are not working either.

Have you got it working yet?  Have managed to get mine sorted now so I have the stadium insides showing in the stadium pictures on the club info screen

Can you post screenshots of your backgrounds folder, in particular showing where the config file is located? If you haven't deleted the FM22 backgrounds pack before installing the new one, you might have multiple configs

You can download all of them if you want. The place where they actually display in-game depends on what skin you use
