First you need to download this little app : https://sortitoutsi.net/content/848/fm-graphics-configurator-for-pc
All pictures have to be named as the id of whatever it is you are adding in (person, stadium, club etc.), and put in to separate folders according to each type of background, and I would also recommend only to use .jpg's they are smaller in size than .png's (all pictures are easily converted online).
It is important that whatever type of picture you are using make sure the extension is in lowercase letters…. .PNG or .JPG will not work
Also consider the dimensions of the picture (not to big or not to small) look here in your guidelines to what sizes/dimensions we use:
https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57340/tutorials-and-guidelines-for-contributors
The “xxxx” in the config lines are the id of whatever you are adding.
Competition backgrounds: Set the little dot to background and competitions and then drag the “competition_backgrounds” folder on to the app.
Config lines need to look like this : <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/comp/xxxx/background"/>
Continent backgrounds: Set the little dot to background and competitions and then drag the “continent_backgrounds” folder on to the app. Then open the config with notepad and press ctrl+h and replace “comp” with “continent” and press replace all.
Config lines need to look like this: <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/continent/xxxx/background"/>
Nation backgrounds: Set the little dot to background and competitions and then drag the “nation_backgrounds” folder on to the app. Then open the config with notepad and press ctrl+h and replace “comp” with “nation” and press replace all.
Config lines need to look like this: <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/nation/xxxx/background"/>
Nation team fans backgrounds: Set the little dot to background and team and then drag the “nation_team backgrounds” folder on to the app.
Config lines need to look like this: <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/team/xxxx/background"/>
Person backgrounds: Set the little dot to background and person and then drag the “person_backgrounds” folder on to the app.
Config lins need to look like this: <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/person/xxxx/background"/>
Stadium backgrounds: Set the little dot to background and stadium and then drag the “stadium_backgrounds” folder on to the app.
Config lines need to look like this: <record from="xxxx" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/xxxx/background"/>
Stadium insides: Set the little dot to background and stadium and the drag the “stadium_insides” folder on to the app. Then open the config with notepad and press ctrl+h and replace “background” with “stadium” and press replace all.

Team city backgrounds: Set the little dot to background and team and then drag the “team_city_backgrounds” folder on to the app. Then open the config with notepad and press ctrl+h and replace “team” with “club” and press replace all.

Please, can you help me? I can't see the stadium pic, just in the background. It's working fine with the rest of the teams included on your work.
ID Team: 2002252885
ID Stadium: 43319673
I add to the config file on stadium_backgrounds folder the following lines:
<record from="images/43319673" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/43319673/background"/><record from="images/43319673" to="graphics/pictures/team/43321194/background"/>
I add to the config file on stadium_insides folder the following lines:
<record from="images/43319673" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/43319673/stadium"/>
I'm using OPZ Elite 2023 Blackout skin.

The best solution is to upload your pictures to our submissions system then everybody can enjoy it.

This team is from Prima Categoria of Italia patch, and I think the ID changes depending on of other leagues added (I'm not sure).

you can see the image of the city because it is present in the megapack https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/17/957244
you don't see the image of the stadium because it is not present in the megapack.
you must therefore look for a real image of the stadium that you can use 👍
if you use another megapack of stadium images then maybe you could find it.
Amporoamo
Thank you for trying to help. I already have the image, I have placed it in the appropriate folder, created the appropriate line of code, but it does not appear. I am not new to this topic 🙂

The problem could very well be the pictures. Try to add them and I will take a look 👍

@Amporoamo Well, I found an image and added it, I see it.
to do some tests or in any case not to create confusion with the update of the megapack files I use separate folders as in this case
make sure you entered the image and config file correctly 👍 I leave you the configuration file that I used
Amporoamo
OMG, you don't know how grateful I am @Humberto21 ! Thank you so much! I will finish the photos of the stadiums and send them so that other users can enjoy it.

Edit
I could somehow solve it by myself!
Hi there, I downloaded all the packs with stadiums, cities and so on.
Now I created an own club with stadium etc.
Everything worked well for me but I'm struggling pretty hard by importing a second image of the stadium on “stadium_backgrounds” (for inside it already shows me the stadium.) and to add the city picture on “team_city_backgrounds”.
I already added the config file lines, changed image sizes etc. but nothing works for me.
Do you have any clue or can help by that?
Thanks a lot in advance.
