Hi @rabcp I'd just like to thank you for all the work you've put in over the years making the game more realistic and the help you gave me last year when I was stuck creating video adboards.

Cheers.

Yep, you need to assign 3D kits to your team for them to show in the locker room and the board room.

Hi rabcp,

My video ads are not showing in my game. It's for a created club. They are located in the following folder (I'm on mac) so

…/Steam/steamapps/common/Football Manager 2021/data/simwatcherviewer_uncompressed/videos/hd/video_ads/england/clubs/redbull london.

There are 9 video ads, numbered in the fm.xml file starting 33600 upwards (those numbers do not clash with any others).

They are then assigned to my club (id 2000066283)  in the fm.xml. The game picks up the static ads created for this club but not the video ones. Any ideas as to why please?

Cheers

Hi Pier Otto, 

you cannot have logos and icons in the same folder. Each have got to be in different folders (one normal and the other small) and have a separate config.xml file. The size of the icon has got to be 20x20 pixels. You can design 2d kits for goalkeepers but you can't add 3d kits for goalkeepers, those are generated by the game in accordance with the 2d kits you designed.

Adboards are the advertisement that are around the football pitch, here's the info:

Hope this helps and let us know if you need more help

Pier Otto, you should create your club in the pregame editor and save your file. Start a game in career mode with the file where you created your club activated. Once you start the game, make a note of the unique id number of your club and then it'll be easy to add logos, 2d and 3d kits, adboards to your club. Let us know here if you need longer explanations. Good luck.

PS: You can't add graphics in the pre game editor, that has to be done when you start the game so that you know the correct unique id of the team as the value you see in the editor may be different than the value in the game.

Hi Qvordrup.

Thanks for your reply. I'm on Mac and Notepad++ is a Windows software. I use BBEdit for creating and editing config.xml files on Mac. Unfortunately, the line numbers on BBEdit don't seem to match the line numbers posted by Flut/Rosek. Regarding the little arrow, I've only got 3 options: Player, Player Flut Card and Player Flut Stadium.

Yes, maybe you can't add custom kits to create-a-club team, I've never tried with this method. I always create a new club in the editor with its unique ID and I've never had problems adding graphics (logos, kits, faces etc…). Just for information, do 2d kits work for your club in create-a-club? 

Hi there,

If that's the full config.xml that you posted, you're missing at the end:

                </list>
</record>

If it's not the case, you could try renaming your kits with something like 

sampdoria_1 (instead of just 1) for your 3d home kit

sampdoria_2 (instead of just 2) for your 3d away kit

sampdoria_3 (instead of just 3) for your 3d third kit

Hi Rosek and Flut,

Thanks for your answer. I'm sorry but I'm not very good at coding and I was unable to find the lines in player overview panel.xml to move the kits to the left. and also I'm unsure which ‘option’ of your skin I'm using in my game. Any chance you could post a screenshot of the .xml file showing the lines to change, please?

Thanking you in advance

Hi there,

Could somebody do the Barcelona 4th kit ('El Clásico kit) please?

Hi Flut and Rosek,

Pardon me if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it.

Can you tell how we can separate a bit the front and the back of the shirt, so that the player's name on the shirt is fully visible, please?

Thanking you in advance.

Hi there,

Sorry if it has been asked before. Can anybody point me to the template for the ‘Clásico Barça’ kit please? Thank you in advance

Hi Rosek, Sorted! Thank you very much!!

Hi Rosek,

Thanks for the reply is the the config file for Sky Bet Champ.

Cheers

Hi Rosek,

Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked the kit folder and the config file looks ok. 

I do have the same problem when I look at the players of all teams in Sky Bet Champ. The front shows the England national jersey and the back displays the name on the back of the shirt.

Cheers

Hi there Rosek and Flut.

Thanks for the update. Can you tell me how to fix the following problem please. I'm getting the English Jersey shown in the title bar of all Sky Bet Championship clubs as shown in the included jpeg.

Hi there,

I created a club in the original FM21 database and included a lot of players who were then out of contracts and were free agents.  I have downloaded the data update and since then many of the players I had put in my club have now new clubs (as in real life). Is it possible to keep said players in my club but enjoy the data update? I have tried loading my fmf file ahead of sortitoutsi's data update but in all instances the players appear in their real life clubs rather than mine. I even made the players in question as free agents in the data update, hoping that they would be picked in my club when I start a game, but this hasn't worked either.

Any help from the community would be appreciated.

Hi flut,

Thanks for your help

Hi Flut and Rosek.

Thanks for bringing out a new update to your skin.

I have changed the logo for Guinea in the graphics/logos section and I have also changed it in the skins/graphics/pictures/flags/big but in game I'm still getting the other Guinea logo as per jpeg. Is it possible to let me know how to change the four logos (arrowed) for the logo (circled), please?

Thanking you in advance

Thanks Rosek, very helpful as always.

Hi Rosek, 

thanks for the answer. Am I right in saying that the code should read as follows for example?

<record from="10" to="graphics/pictures/nation/10/logo/background/right"/>

Cheers.

Hi Flut, Rosek and the Community.

Can you let me know how I can change the nation flag for the nation emblem or logo on the title bar, please?

Thanking you in advance

Hi Flut and Rosek,

Could you let me know where these are located, please (jpeg included)? I'd like to be able to change the flags to non metallic effect ones?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Hi Rosek,

Thank you for your answer

Hi flut,

First of all thank you very much for the great skin you created, superb work.

I'd like to change the metallic effect round flags you use in the title bar (jpg included)

Am I right is saying theses are 180x180 and located at skins/graphics/pictures/logos/7 flags back right round flags?

Thanking you in advance.

Cheers

Cheers for the reply. Do you know the minimum specs required for this game to work on PC, please? I might resurrect my old PC just to play this if the specs are not too demanding…

I spent hours playing Sensible Soccer on the Mega Drive and then on PC. I have moved on to Macs now, I wish Sensible World of Soccer '20 (or similar) was available for OSX…
