Swap everything you have under the word maps with this:

<record from="home" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kits/home"/> 
<record from="away" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kits/away"/>
<record from="third" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kits/third"/>
<record from="home_texture" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kit_textures/home"/> 
<record from="away_texture" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kit_textures/away"/>
<record from="third_texture" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kit_textures/third"/>

 

Also note that you won't see these changes in the pre-game editor, but if you start a new game, select your club and go to the information, all of it should show there. I found this out the hard way.

You can also add your club badge and all of the other bits I mentioned above to the same folder if you want to add those items in-game

 

I FIGURED IT OUT LETS GOOOOOO THANK YOU MY BROTHA

I switched up the config, still nothing.

 

Are you talking about starting a standard game, and then changing the information once the new game is loaded, because that's what it seems like your talking about. I did a create a club save and put in all the info during the in-game creation process (logo, team info, ect.)

Hello mate,

 

I'm quite new to FM myself and the configs took me some time to get my head around. Anyway, I'm going to assume that 20002080032 is the UID of the team you want to use? If not you first need to change it to match. Edit your config file and update it to the following:

For 2D Kits

<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kits/home"/> 
<record from="kit" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kits/away"/>
<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kits/third"/>

For 3D Kits

<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kit_textures/home"/> 
<record from="kit_texture" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kit_textures/away"/>
<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/kit_textures/third"/>

Club Badge

<record from="Your filename" to="graphics/pictures/club/20002080032/logo"/>

Mini Icon
 

<record from="Your filename" to="graphics/pictures/club/20002080032/icon"/>

Team Background

<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/team/20002080032/background"/>

Team City Background

<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/club/20002080032/background"/>

Stadium Background

<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/Stadium UID/background"/>

Stadium Interior

<record from="Your Filename" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/Stadium UID/stadium"/>

Now your setup is entirely up to you. You can have all the files for the one club in one folder and just make a config will all those entires added, or you just need to add each of these entries to their respective folders.

My personal pathway is:

E:\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\graphics\my_creations\

I grouped them together by type rather than club, but it works either way.

Hope this helps and doesn't come across as patronising.

 

So I've edited the config to put all the kit info into one file and also changed the file names for each individual kit (they were all the same before). It still isn't working but I feel like it is close.

What do you mean you've changed the config data to be more specific? I can't imagine how you could change it so perhaps that's the issue, that the config data is wrong.

 

It would probably be worth sharing the text of the config and screenshots of the folder structure.

 

When asking for help pause and think for a moment about how you can make it easier for other people to help you. Right now we have nothing to go on because your comment is lacking all the important details.

 

I originally left the config file alone, but after looking at different forums with suggestions to alter it, I tried those and they didn't work. The config files I have right now are the standard ones that come with the kit download.

 

Here are some pictures of the file setup, and I used the away kit as the example for the images with the config

I have been trying so hard to upload some customer kits I've made for a custom team I created. The problem is that no matter what I do, the kits simply won't show in game. I created them using FMKitCreator and followed the steps on the website, putting the unzipped files in the graphics folder (I have other skins in there that work) and nothing happened.

I then changed the file names and config data to be more specific, but nothing.

I have licensed kits ON in the editor, and have cleared my cache many times, changed the file names to match my team ID, re-downloaded the kit files, reloaded the skin too many times to count and yet nothing is working. 

 

Its been really frustrating and I simply need help trying to figure this out… Thanks
