Due to the release of the Steklo skin for FM14 i've decided to start these up after a few years away. The idea of my backgrounds is to just add a simple bit of colour to your screens whilst still enabling the in game text to be read as clearly as possible. So please don't moan about the style as i will not be changing it!

These are for team screens only.

Anyone know how to have the stadium show up on the clubs main screen instead of just yellow seats with the logo? It is showing in the back ground but not the stadium pic. Here is the text from the config file:

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/team/5100029/background"/>

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/club/5100029/background"/>

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/5100029/background"/>

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/5100029/stadium"/>

That picture isn't showing mate, what team is it and could you upload the config file.

Possibly, but a lot depends now on what i do whether i can get good quality pics.

NEW - Team Overview Config Files added to first. Simply copy over your old configs and the backgrounds will now show on Team Overview screens, note they will not show on matchdays or in the little stadium view pic (only the UK Megapack does that). So please do not ask!

Could you post a screenshot.

Strange as i just looked at mine and the Man City background is showing for the players as well. Is it like it with all the players?

I really have no idea why mate, it should really be impossible as the ID numbers are obviously completely different. Have you tried clearing cache and reloading the skin in preferences to see if that will fix it? Have you got any other background packs installed?

Greetings V.P !!! I admire and respect very much your work so i got inspired to put additional backgrounds in Greek Leagues for my game...Would you care for a (personal's work) pack of Greek 2nd division teams (football league north&south group) backgrounds??Just to put it with yours if you like them and want ofcourse so any other greek fan of your work have the ability to use them as well...(If you do let me know how to send it to you..)

P.S. The resolution of some stadium's fotos is not as good as yours and will work only for standard pc monitors but it was the best i could do as some ground's fotos are tricky to get a hand to (and i actually had to resize most of them to a 900x450 or more) and i used exact the same coonfiguration file as your's only by adding the additional's fotos command lines...
Congrats for your perfect background pack again....(Sorry for my poor english)

Done!! It's this file...

I actually uploaded all the existing Superleague pictures you used (except the one of Levadeiakos aka 979->UID that i took the liberty to replace as you had used by accident a picture of Olympiacos fans instead -maybe in a trip to Levadeiakos ground i assume-) along with the added ones & the configuration file.That's because i didn't know how to create a new XML file and i edited yours.I also took the liberty to add to your original XML file for Superleague the maps to show the backgrounds in club overview also (as you have done in Brazil,Argentina and some others).Also i added about 60 teams of lower than football league divisions..There are all tested in my savegame and work (at least in my PC)..Let me know if you find them acceptable and if you wish i 'm keen to update them to you as soon as i put more as i have a (rather overambitious if you think how time-spending it is) wish to put stadium pictures (adding to the stadium superpack as well) & backgrounds to all Greek clubs of the game...

P.S. I actually added the maps for the new pictures to save you some time under the comment <!--lower division added by sofo13-->....Of course you can check them and change them if you think you must...
P.S.2Some pictures are PNG because for some rason i didn't undesrtand as JPEG the game wouldn't find them and show them but as soon as i saved them as PNG it did....I guess you know better...

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/team/5100029/background"/>

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/club/5100029/background"/>

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/5100029/background"/>

<record from="5100029" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/5100029/stadium"/>


Mate the stadium UID is different that the team UID..The first 2 lines refer to the bacground of the team (so you use the team's UID)...
The last line you wrote must have a different number to the stadium/.../stadium part or a different name entirely in the last line by changing the name of the picture as well...(As for the third line i m not sure if it's right or wrong...But i guess because refers to stadium should also have diferrent number..)

(Also note that the pic for stadium should not be as high resolution as bacgrounds..In the pack i use (stadiums superpack) and update my self by any pics i find stadium's pictures are at a 400x240 resolution)

Cheers for that, I'll try and do the pack myself by finding the pics, if there's any I can't I'll use yours and of course credit you for doing so. I'll edit them as well to try and improve the quality a bit.

Made a pack for the North/South divisions, managed to get a couple of better pictures but have mostly used yours. I'll upload it tomorrow as gotta be up early for work, you'll have to check to see if any are wrong as its VERY hard trying to find lower league Greek stadiums!

Greek National North & South added. This pack was very hard to put together as there are not very many lower league Greek stadium photo's around! But with a lot of help from Sofo13 we managed to make a usable pack. Some of the photo's do have watermarks on and these have had to be used as there simply was nothing else available.

Yes it should as it has a different config file and should get rid of those seats as well as remove the Wembley background, delete the Prem, Championship, League 1, League 2, Skrill Prem/North/South plus all Scottish, N Irish and Welsh packs if you have them and then replace them with the Megapack. I think the reason your getting it is because you must also have the national team pack? And i think it is putting Wembley there as they are an English side, rather than leaving it blank.

I may be completely wrong though!

Here's a picture that helped someone on the SI forums of my set up. Just make the folders yourself and then when you download a pack double click it to open it, and then copy & paste the folder inside to the correct continent. You will also need to go into your game settings and clear cache and reload skin for them to show in game.
