Hey great stuff

Would you by any chance know how to remove the picture all together for both the newgens and the existing player base? As in so that there are no player profile pics whatsoever? Thanks.

Hey, so I looked around, did a bit of googling and haven't found anyone with the same problem;

I downloaded a nice new logo (amongst many others all working fine) for the Netherlands, the problem is it keeps swapping between the one I downloaded and the default one

I have searched my entire SDD for 784 and the only exact return is the one I downloaded. I even manually checked all the folders and sub folders for a duplicate logo and the config file, but there all ok.

So.. One logo, just one, on my SDD which works then doesnt.. examples below:

Anyone else had this issue and know of a work around.

One

Two

Two: Is the one I have downloaded, and One is the one it keeps switching back to only on certain screens, Im guessing thats the default. It might not be a HUGE issue, but its driving me crazy and any help is most appreciated.

Hey,

Just thought I would share my fantasy Juve kits. Obviously all the real hard work goes to the guys whom made the templates, so cheers for them.

a) Folder...

b) Preferrences...

I never had any issues with FM14 and I was playing that on a Mac, but before that it was PC all the way, maybe its to do with OS X?

I also cannot get the Data Editor files to show up when loading the Data Editor from the real names fix here on Sortitoutsi.. I mean the German national team fix works but the media names etc, don't..

They are .dbc files, where as the saved data file I make when using the Editor is an .fmf

Sorry that was off topic and I'll have to start paying you for tech support if I keep on adding issues. But as you can see from the above, the file structure is ok, there are no .png's in the folders, just the config and I have taken the required steps in the in-game prefs.

Now I know this is gonna sound fussy, but Im not sure about the empty space left when using a blank .png, are there any resources on creating Skins for FM15? I couldn't see any when I browsed the forums (but then I wasn't looking all that hard), I will take another look.

Ive got my free trial of the latest Photoshop, so might have a bash at making my own skin to solve my problems.

Hey mons,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I placed the files (configs) in their original sub-directories, copied straight over from what I extracted. So, in my docs they are in the FM folder then Graphics.

Here is the structure of the extracted folders:

graphics-
pictures-
players-
small & normal

The only directory missing is "data" but surely thats not required? I mean Im placing these in My Docs.

Anyway I found an alternative way of accomplishing this. Albeit a time consuming ridiculous way.

If (using the structure above) I open each individual .png and simply erase the players face, (leaving the transparent background) it will work in game as a replacement image.

Now... you might have guessed, but I don't really want to do this.. no.. far too lazy..

Download this file and place it in Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 201x > graphics. From within the downloaded file, remove the actual images from the folders, just keep the config file. This should ensure that an empty space is displayed for those real players who don't have a default image.

If you want to remove the player images that come with the game as well, use the resource archiver to extract the default SI images and place them in a sub-folder within the folder mentioned in the above paragraph, then remove the actual images from the various folders and leavie just the config file in each folder.

This should ensure every person in the game has an empty space where their pic should be.


Hey me again,

I found and extracted all the player pics, went through each sub-folder and deleted the images leaving the config files and structure intact..

Now I have been playing FM since it was CM way back since 95, and have been using the great graphics froths site and others pretty much since it allowed for it to be used.

So I know about unticking "use skin cache" and reload skin on confirm..

But this hasn't worked, you could probably guess that by now, are there some new tricks you have to do with this years edition?

default blacked out faces and the pre-existing packed faces still showing despite your advice, now I am not saying what you said is wrong, as I'm actually pretty sure its spot on, but I have no idea whats causing it to fail.

Any help is much appreciated

Awesome, thanks for that mons.

I had to wipe my HD and who would have known super fast broadband could be so slow re-downloading FM, I'll try this out later on.

Cheers again

how would I remove the player/staff pics from displaying? Can you remove the blacked out head thats present when there isn't a pic also?

I have tried unarchiving panels.fmf and setting the following line:

<!-- profile picture -->
<widget class="client_object_profile_picture" id="prop" scale_picture="true" keep_aspect_ratio="true" image_alignment="centre">
<attachment class="test_setting_attachment" get_setting="show_portraits" default_value="false" set_property="hidn">

But this didn't work for me, any ideas?
