Put this in another thread but unsure if this should be the correct one. I'll delete whichever on is incorrect. 

Could someone possibly do these Celtic and Rangers kits from 1986? I'm playing a retro 86/87 database for FM24 and have 2d & 3d kits from a few leagues but they didn't create a Scottish one sadly. I won't be greedy and ask for all Scottish top flight teams lol, just Celtic and Rangers please?

#859047 How to fix the FM26 Pre Game Editor when using the Steam BETA track

I apologise if this isn't the correct place for this question but I'm totally lost! It takes me a while to actually play the game each year as I try to get it as real life as possible so I use pre-game editor and move players and staff on the dates they move in real life. (I know game does this with real world for players) Problem is now, eg I always go Celtic, so I fix it that the staff leave on the date they left, but with new update, they're gone, Martin O'Neill is manager yet with pre-game editor he's not in the game and my changes are ignored! Also it's rectified with the update the Rangers Chairman but again, he's ont in the pre-game editor! I've tried uninstalling but still the same issue.

I was able to extract the simatch.fmf using the FM 24 Resource Archiver, but I can't find the graphics or the sounds of FM 26 anywhere in the game's folders. I always customise the game using my own sounds and sound triggers and the graphics provided in the SortitoutSI community. I really don't want to play the plain vanilla game using the boring original skin, grpahics, sounds etc.  😢

 

I'm the same plus I like to extract player faces so I know which players are missing and have to add myself from the licensed leagues.

I installed the FM24 resource archiver and could open and extract .fmf files on Mac. Likely possible on PC too.

 

Can you explain the process please? I can't see an option for fmf files

I think resource archiver is only available on official game launch, not in beta.

 

Previously could use the resource archiver from previous year's game but there doesn't seem to be an option to extract now

Would anyone be willing to do some retro Scottish kits? 2d & 3d? From season 86/87. I've downloaded Mad Scientist 86/87 retro databes and I'm working on a cutout facepack but I'm unable to do kits abd, frankly, I can't play the game with them!! There was a kit pack added but they didn't do Scottish teams I'm afraid.

No idea mate, but I suspect it'd be much harder than you might think.

 

To be honest yeah, the ones I've tried have been  awful so far! Finally able to remove watermarks but black & white photos are a nightmare!

Not sure if this is the correct place for this question, but is there a good app out there for converting black and white pics to colour? Trying to do a retro database cutout facepack for Mad Scientist 86/87 database for FM24 and so many excellent pictures in black and white!

I am currently doing a cut out facepack for The Mad Scientist latest retro database, season 1986/87 but as yet he has noone doing kits and I wanted to have a bash (or beg someone else to do it!!) 

Is there an idiot proof method of creating 2d and 3d kits that even I can use?? Thus far I don't have a clue!

Would anyone be interested in asissiting Mad Scientist with his Retro 86/87 database he is currently creating for FM24? I'm doing a cutout facepack for him (already completed English 1st Div, Scottish Premier and almost finished Serie A, Bundesliga and Dutch league) but I have no idea how to make 2d or 3d kits or logos. I only have Corel Paint Shop Pro 2020 to make the cutouts for faces so would be terrific if someone could make kits and possibly logos. 

Many thanks

Can I ask how are stadium pics added to graphics? With FM 25 now not being released I'm going to use an old retro database but would like to add old stadium pics, as they were in mid 80's. I know obviously how to add player faces, logos and kits etc but for stadiums it is simply a case of adding a file for stadiums with the pics and uid?

It`s playable, but teams are not complete…

 

As long as it's playable that would be terrific! I assume data editor could be used? So i could add more players to Scottish teams. Plus I'd happily share cut out's I've done and have lots for 87/88 season.

@mickbhoy  Good cut, but please remember that we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. At the same time, the ideal cut only contains 2-3 pixels beneath the chin. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.

 

I'll fix this one myself, but please keep it in mind for any future cuts you may do 👍

 

Here's a video of the process on how to nudge the collar upwards:

 

 

That's excellent, cheers.

Are the real SPFL fixtures still in use? I know that, on previous Scottish pyramid databases, it hasn't been possible to keep the real fixtures.

Trying to alter which kits are worn when facing certain teams and on kit selection for the club it doesn't seem to give the option to alter. What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone know if there are high quality images available for the 2022-2023 Rangers squad? The ones from their website aren't great and a couple like Kamara need to be re-cut

Sorry, don't know where to post this, but have downloaded the fm23 update and has caused the skin to crash! All player faces now blue!! Any way to fix this? Have tried downloading different skins.

I think so, very easy to use, allows quick upgrades / adding realism, can do instant transfers when they happen and keep the same save

 

May seem a silly question but then I'm not the brightest. But now that i've purchased the in game editor, is there any point in having the pre game editor? And if I delete it will it save me space to run the game better?

Do you have the in game editor, you can upgrade him

 

I just use the normal editor and never used/purchased the in game editor. Is it better? Worth it?

I’m with you mick, I asked my 17yo lad, I will ask him for details

 

Cheers mate. Honestly don't have a clue and I need to play the game with custom data as they made a mess of my boys stats in the game! :-)
