the fact that teams change divisions every season due to relegation/promotion, I would suggest that you keep everything in a single folder (or at least one per nation) 

 

Thank you so much, that is exactly the kind of information i wouldnt have contemplated. i will definitely go by nation instead.

 

there are hardly any practical reasons and benefits for doing so.

 

The reason i was contemplating this was, 1. i have a little bit of OCD about keeping all of my photoshop work in seperate locations as opposed to all in one folder (it would also make it easier in future to change specific club logos if they update theirs, as i noticed a few have done over the years) and 2. i thought that way i would be able to reduce the amount of images i use. once you start adding in players, kits etc it is going to be a lot of images in total. 

 

once i got the logos installed and working i downloaded the player head megapack (which was a lot of images. i am not sure if it was the amount of images, the year of the game or my pc not being setup for gaming yet but the game struggled with so many images. Some of the heads worked, some didnt and a few minutes in the game froze and i had to restart my pc. so thought i would look into minimising the amount of images i would use.

 

you can get team's UIDs from the editor, or from the FM database search tool from this very site

 

Perfect. i will check out the search tool. i had a look on steam for the editor but i read somewhere they stop letting you download it after about 5 years so couldnt get the 2014 editor, unfortunately.

 

Thirdly, if you want to contribute to a particular pack

 

I havent really thought that far ahead yet, i was just going to have a little experiment with different aspects of graphics to get the hang of it first. 

 

 

 

Before i go, i dont suppose you know any way of me being able to find the correct kits for the specific years? i have spent quite a few hours going through the forums to see if there were alternate links in other posts as the links in the SS shirts no longer exist due to their age. i am hoping to be able to find new copies of all the games from 2009 onwards (as hard as that is going to be). if it is not possible i will look into creating them from scratch, obviously i would prefer to find some if possible though.

 

 

thank you for your assistance. i am sure once i start getting into this properly i will be quite active on the forum. i am not sure i have used the quotations correctly but i hope it works enough to understand

Hi Everyone,

 

this is my first ever post on this site (so i am hoping this is the right area for this, i apologise if its not), i recently decided i want to get back into FM after a long time without it. Long story short (for the sake of the length of the post) i am trying to track down old versions (with varying success), i am starting off with 2014 as it has classic mode to ease me back in.

 

anyway i am starting to customise the graphics, beginning with the logos. i downloaded the standard logos megapack (they are beautiful by the way, just what i was looking for). i am going to start with logo editing as it seems easier than faces or kits etc.

 

i just have a couple of rookie questions i was hoping someone could advise me with:

 

firstly, as i am completely new to this i was wondering if i can seperate the club logos further into league folders? if so, would i have to alter config files etc?

 

secondly, is there an excel file or anything to tell me which IDs are for which clubs?

 

I will be fine with photoshop editing etc i mainly need assitance with the setup protocols for FM.

 

thank you for taking the time to read my post.
