I was looking for English Level 7 & 8 SS kits for 2012/13 season, but they are not available here on sortitoutsi.
Was that year the only one with no kits for these English levels? It seems a bit strange given these kits have been produced every year for FM.
Someone have more infos or even these kitpacks to share?

Thank you bolid for these updates.
I had a look at the default kits and I think Millwall third, Sheffield Wednesday away & Dorking Wanderers home need a revamp, too.
Notts County default kits have no sponsor instead, while I already pointed out the wrong Newport County third in the game.
These are the main inaccuracies that I spotted.

@priority76 you made a very original kit. The elephants stripes and the hoops socks are a nice touch. Well done!
Could I ask you and @kkgiuseppe to post your kits in the 3D fantasy section in order to avoid confusions between official and fantasy kits?
Anyway, really nice kits by both of you.

that windsor kit is quite nice, but what a bizarre amount of sponsors on a football shirt

I could give it a go, but I might skip few of those tiny sponsors :-P

They remind me a bit of Streatham Rovers shirts

#528343 Bug 2D kits Albinoleffe - Italy Serie C Girone A

I solved the problem, in the 3D kits config file there was en error, it was written "<record from="albino_1" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kit/home"/>", i modified it in "<record from="albino_1" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kit_textures/home"/>", the person who posted this file has forgotten the word "_textures", it's because i had 3D kits on my screen

It's definitely the fix I suggested.
Glad you solved this.

This is wrong, it should be like this:

<record from="albino_1" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kits/home"/>
<record from="albino_2" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kits/away"/>
<record from="albino_3" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kits/third"/>

bolid, the problem is in the original 3D pack that I corrected. Not in the 2D pack.
I had the same problem with the same 3D pack.

Hello, i have a bug on the Albinoleffe 2D kits!! When i go on the Albinoleffe screen i have no 2D kits but 3D kits!!!! Who can explain me this bug?

It's a problem in the config file of Serie C Girone A 3D pack.
Open its config file and replace the Albinoleffe lines with the following ones:

<record from="albino_1" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kit_textures/home"/>
<record from="albino_2" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kit_textures/away"/>
<record from="albino_3" to="graphics/pictures/team/1142/kit_textures/third"/>

Save the file and then reload the skin once in game.
You should see now the 2D kits

Hi All,

I have placed the folder here

C:\Users\Me\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\graphics\kits\England levels 7-8 SS'19-20

The kits are not showing. I have cleared the cache and reloaded the skin but its not showing. Anything I am doing wrong?

Try to extract the folder inside the following path (the missing folders in the path you indicated above are in bold):
graphics\pictures\kits\3d\England levels 7-8 SS'19-20

A bit off-topic question, but is there a way to get rid of the small face icon? What panel should I edit to remove it?
I'm not a particular fan of the icons.

and what about italy too (please)

You should contact @Morris64. All kits, from Serie B to Serie D, have been made by Morris and FCL on the italian forum. FM 20 have Italian Serie A kits by default and bolid already created missing kits for Juventus and Brescia.

The correct path on PC is this (where XX indicate the database version):
C: \ Program Files \ Steam \ SteamApps \ common \ football manager 2020 \ data \ updates \ update-20XX \ db \ 20XX \ edt

However, I don't know if it will work on IOS Touch version given the limitation of the game on this platform. It definitely work on PC Touch version, though.

Hi. Where I can find 3D KIts for Italian Serie A and Serie B for FM 20?


These are for FM 2019.
FM 20 have default kits for Serie A. The only unlicensed teams are Juventus and Brescia, but bolid74 already covered these kits for FM20:

Juventus: Home Away Third & Fourth

Brescia: Home/Away/Third

Milan: Remade Home/Away/Third

You can find Serie B kits for FM20 here: https://sortitoutsi.net/forums/topic/184/3d10-13-official-kits-thread?page=345#comment_517586

I know.

So, not like this? Because 2D kits are working and 3D are not.

The path and the two separated folders are placed in the right position. But what game are you playing? FM19 or FM20?

I would like to make a update for the danish team Boldklubben Fremad Amager UID=508

Can anyone figure out how to get better quality pictures that the ones on their homepage : https://www.fremadamagerelite.dk/copy-of-holdet

Copy number and name player indicated in the squad list, then go on google and use this format to narrow the search to only the official club site, for example:
1. Nicklas DANNEVANG site:fremadamagerelite.dk
Go to the images section under the search bar and you'll see a high-res half bust figure of the player. Right click on the picture and choose the option view image. That's it. You have now an high quality source for Boldklubben Fremad Amager.
Here some examples:

EDIT: what @Ernesttico wrote is pretty spot on, too.

Kotoko, thank you for this kit set. They are just spare Spanish kits or are you creating packs for Spanish lower leagues?

Why older FM 20 data update versions are no more available to be downloaded? All versions from November 28th to March 4th have broken downloading links.
https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/releases

Now the updates are unavailable until 16th Mar 2020 at 03:57am. Any reason behind this odd choice of removing them?

Oh, I could have sworn I saw you doing some cuts previously. Never mind

I made about a dozen of cuts, but this was a little more difficult because of the hair as you rightly pointed out.

In the above screenshot, you can see that there is the topmost part of the hair which is of a different colour to the rest of the hair. If you zoom in on it, the curly hair on our right, for example, has a bluish tinge. This is what we call snow. Though it could be the case occasionally in some sources that there is indeed the sunlight's reflection, you can see this is not really the case in the original source.

In order to remove this, you can use the technique outlined in this short and easy-to-understand video, which shows a good method of how to quickly spot and clean snow. The reason we aim to avoid these in our cuts is that they are very evident in-game on a dark skin.

There are a number of other guidelines outlined in this thread btw, if you haven't see them already. What program and technique are you using to cut-out, if I may ask? Perhaps we can offer some practical tips

Thank you for the tips, I'll have a look at them.
As I mentioned on the dedicated thread, I use a program called Franzis Cut Out. I think it could be a useful resource for all the cutters here on sortitoutsi, especially for the most skilled ones.
I have several portable versions of the program that I could pass to you, but I don't want to break forum rules posting it here given it's a paid software. If you want to have a look at it, maybe it's better by PM, I don't know. Of course, If you think what I wrote is too "sensitive", please feel free to edit or delete this part.

What snow effect, @mons? If you're referring to the top of the hair, I guess those are mainly sunlight's reflections. But if you think this effect could be reduced, I'll try to fix it. I'm a first-time cutter afterall
EDIT: I saw you already reduced the problem and improved the picture contrast. Cheers for that!

@Ivs, it looks an interesting tool - is it free software?

Unfortunately, not. It has free trial.

I'm using the Vertus Fluid Mask plugin for Photoshop and it's doing great to far. How Franzis Cut Out is working when you have messy backgrounds with multiple colours and shades?

I really cannot answer your question because I am not an expert. As far as I know it's a program used for professional cutting, so I presume it should be able to handle the scenario you described. I can only suggest you to give it a try.
