#845893 FM26 Mac Users - Logos/Kits/Faces don’t work

All missing kits I found so far was an error in the kits‘ folder xml file. E.g. For Real Madrid the package says real_madrid1.png while the xml file consists a realmadrid1.png. 
 

so far no issue with the fm but with the downloaded files lacking quality. 

 

I found the cause of the “not all custom kits working” - basically in my logos folder I had another folder called “2DLeftOfKits” and this was a legacy folder from the days I was trying out aa version of FlutSkin which specifically creates a folder within “Logos” and populates it with custom kit images as part of the skin. Basically the Config.xml was mapping these kits to a folder no longer used within the new version of FM26 so that's why some kits worked and some didn't. Once I deleted everything within the legacy “2DLeftOfKits” folder - everything in my normal “kits” folder was being mapped correctly and I could see all my custom kits in-game once I restarted FM26.

 

 If you have the more unsual case where you see some kits but not others I'd look for this kind of problem:

 

  1. Older/legacy folders containing older kits that aren't being used
  2. Folders that you've copied accidentally somewhere within your graphics folder without realizing

The same with things like logos and facepacks.

For your graphics you can verbosely state where your Football Manager 2026 folder is so that you don't have to have everything on the one partition of your hard drive if you have partitions. So my MAC drive has a partition called “Scratch”. I keep the Application installed on my "Macintosh HD" partition and then I instruct the FM26 game to look for the graphics in my other partition called “Scratch.

 

Normally for a MAC, FM will make a Sports Interactive folder in your Documents? But if you right click on the FM26 game within your steam game abnd bring up this window you can verbosely state where you would like to have your Football Manager 2026 sundry files (and also your graphics folcer which you will create containig your logos and custom fa epacks and kits) - Not all kits are working and I don't know why and there is no “Disable caching” in the Beta release just yet so that could be a problem.

The Fm26 directory you need to replace the lnc, edt and dbc folders is located:

 

/Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 26/fm.app/Contents/PlugIns/game_plugin.bundle/Contents/Resources/shared/data/database/db/2600

 

(Obviously "YourName" is your own username)

Hi!  great work btw! But what is the pack I need to stop this from happening on the player profile screen.

I need it to be displaying the stadiums rather than the “citypic”.  Either that or something inside my graphics folder is conflicting.  can someone kindly point me in the correct direction?  ( I attached a screenshot of the problem and inside my “pictures” folder.

Does anyone have a problem expanding the archive? I get a message telling me the "file structure is damaged". Using StuffIt on the Mac.
#211267 On Loan Players from your club

I just realized playing today, if you have a scout sending you match reports of the player on loan then you will automatically get a message from them in your News section if the player in question is being played out of position and you have a chance to interact with the manager in question.

In 2015 when you loan players from another club you can get criticism from the managers of those players telling you that they're unhappy regarding their player not playing in their agreed position and rightly so. But how do I do the same thing? I want to be able to interact with another manager and basically say "Hey this person has not played enough games like we agreed" or whatever? Does anyone know how to do this interaction. It is not as obvious as clicking on the manager of that club and choosing "Interaction" - it should be a simple matter I feel.
#204231 Mac OSX FM2014 Facepack no longer working

Hi there,
I had a problem for a few months now (and I have noticed several people have also encountered it)... I run fm2014 on my Mac OSX and initially the facepack was working but after a few months I cleared the cache and couldn't get the facepack working.

I checked the file path was correct, made sure my settings in Preferences were correct, I even used Steam to delete Local Data and then re-installed the whole game to no avail.

I do a lot of my own Editor work, make up my own teams, create my own players so I edit my own faces quite a lot...

The problem was not my file structure, it was the fact that I had messed up my config.xml within the sortitoutsi megapack. Once I re-copied the original config.xml it was fine and my facepack reloaded with all the images appearing. I don't know what happened but I think maybe somewhere in between these updates the syntax of the config.xml is a lot stricter. I cannot even copy a line and paste it at the end in order to create a new entry. I have not worked out why.

It's difficult to spot because your config.xml can look absolutely fine but obviously there is some very strict syntax regarding new lines or whatever.

The only way i have been able to add new faces is to edit existing entries in that file. (Or of course copy the whole file and make a new config.xml deleting extra entries and over-writing the old ones).

If you are experiencing problems where your facepack will not load up and you have checked all your settings and followed all the original instructions then I would try re-downloading the original config.xml and re-load. Especially if you are the type of player that does a lot of Editor work like me.

Hope this helps because it was really confusing me for a while!
