@bartdude Hey, do you know where abouts in the Football Manager directory the ball pictures that come with the game are?  I've looked all over the graphics.fmf folder and can't see them anywhere.

You won't see a balls folder in the game, you have to create one in “graphics/pictures”. The balls pack here is not an fmf file but a graphical one with a config file.

Not only is the flutskin more or less the same as in FM23 but also glad to report that kits, logos and balls all work well in FM24. Not installed the big files (faces and backgrounds) yet because I was impatient to play ! Hopefully they'll be fine. Loving FM24 so far, as it's not just the re-hash of FM23 that many cynics suggested it would be. FM25 will be awesome with the new match engine.

It's always a question of finding the best image to create a decent 3d match ball and most are not available when the manufacturers release a new ball. Also I only focus on British leagues and cup balls. As and when decent images appear, I will do some updates. However, I will wait until FM24 is released to see if the process changes and what, if any challenges it presents.

Thanks a lot 👍🙂 means a lot that people appreciate what we do 🙏

Oh, that reminds me, I don't think I responded to your comment about match balls. I have no issuses with people attemting to produce match balls. It might even inspire me to have a go if the attempts are poor. Up until now, I've not had the inclination to go beyond English leagues, cups and European cup competitions, as on a personal level it's where my game is played. Hopefully soon, Si will alter the graphics parameters, so we can reproduce match balls more accurately.

I did not succeed in updating the transfer of players, Cristiano Ronaldo is still at Manchester United, I have followed all the steps, in the data editor file it is according to my direction save it, then when starting a new game, I have checked everything but there is no transfer update, please help

Use the IGE, it's perfect for moving players/managers to their “real” clubs. Also because it's not a database, you keep your save game and career without the need to start a new game.

You also need to add a third kit on the editor if the Team doesn't already have one.

Yes, you're right, I use the IGE, it's easier and doesn't require you to start a new game. It's not a given that all teams have the data to add a third kit. People think the IGE is simply a way to cheat but I only use it for kits and moving players/managers to their real life clubs, or renaming newgen players to new youth players that aren't on the original database. All without the need for a data file and losing my career with a new save.

I did that and it still doesn't show up

Check your config files for the 2D and 3D kits again and make sure they match exactly with the text of the third kits you've added. Also make sure your new third kits are in Ping (.png) format, not Jpeg (.jpg). If that doesn't work, PM me with your kits and config files and I'll take a look.

I'm aware of that now, but still, it can change the format, didn't it?

Yes but there are many FM users out there who are clueless about file formats, image resolution and editing, so will be confused when images do not display.

Yes, and you'd need to do the same for the 3D kit, if you want it show in a 3D match.

Take it easy with requests guys. I don't want to be rude but I don't pay attention to them. If I made Arsenal away, then Manchester United or City would be requested so it's always someone requesting something. From my perspective people want all the kits to be done at once and that is not possible obviously. 

 

I'd also like to point something out. Complex patterns and graphics are now in full fashion in football kits. It was never harder to make them. Comparing to 5 years ago when I only had few challenges in higher leagues, now 4 out of 5 kits are complex and the trend has spread to lower leagues as well. Just take a look at Fleetwood, Spennymoor, Boston, Carlisle, Morecambe and so on. Some nasty kits await in levels 6. 

Not only there are complex patterns on kits, there are also 3D reliefs and bumps on kits from Nike, Umbro and Adidas which are hard to figure out and they require some pictures from particular angle.

My pattern folder has already 80 files for this season and I'm only half done. So the average time needed for a kit has pretty much doubled. The usual release of Premier league in mid august is in question. Early septembar is more likely.

 

So guys, arm yourselves with patience, be assured no kit is forgotten. If you think it's taking to long, blame the manufacturer who made it overly complicated. Arsenal and Liverpool are pretty high on my to-do list so no need to request them anymore.

 

One last thing, even though I work on English kits, it's perfectly fine if other kit makers make a kit here and there, I will note it as made by others and not make a double until the pack is done. There was a solid work on Chelsea home recently so things like that will shorten the wait time. 

Spot on buddy. However, if I try to remind people not to request, I get abuse ! I don't make requests, so I'm guessing what I want is one of the harder ones to create, as you explained. Love your work !

@bartdude It would be helpful to people who see this and think “oh i'd like an improved match ball” to have a link to the main pack so they have some context, rather than everyone having to go searching for it themselves. One quick act would save thousands of acts in this case.

 

Link for anyone wondering: https://sortitoutsi.net/user/content/141269 (unless i've missed an update and this isn't the latest one, but therein lies the problem…)

 

Also ideally, you'd use the edit function on the last post rather than posting multiple updates. That way anyone who downloaded the last one will get a notification that there's an update.

 

I realise it might sound like i'm having a go because of this coming at the same time as the other thread, tone is hard to convey on the internet, but I promise i'm just trying to make the site a bit tidier and easier for everyone and not meaning to have a go at you specifically, just unfortunate timing that it involves you twice in quick succession.

Point taken.

Can you both cut it out. There's no need to be sarcastic or take little digs at each other.

 

Consider it an unofficial warning.

All I did was remind the guy of the request comment regarding the kits. If he'd accepted my reminder it wouldn't have escalated. Third party creators do their work for free and it's right that they should not be harassed with requests, otherwise they'll give it up or request to be paid.

@bartdude you should add instructions on where people put the image 🙂

I did, it's in the description. Those who have the ball pack will know what I described. Those who don't will find full instructions in the match ball pack.

Please do not post other kit makers work on the forum with evidence of permissions from the kit maker. 

You mean “without” ? They're jpeg images in any case so need to be converted to ping but I totally agree that redistributing other people's work is pitiful.

it's not common sense because like I explained the pathway is very different to how you put them for fm23 and this mod was made for earlier version. Do you want me to explain the differences, thankfully bartdude broke it down. No where did it say you had to create art folder and shared_texture folders

 

So get off your high condescending horse 

Regardless, the Fez pitch textures over at FMScout are better than these ones and you get full instructions.
