Do you actually understand what the file is for? 

 

As the first line in the description suggests: “…an example Config.xml file to use as a base when adding your own graphics into the game.” 

 

This is a template (probably a more straightforward and more accurate term than “example” and “base”) for building a brand new config.xml file for, e.g. your own facepack, logos or anything. This file, as a starter, helps you build this important config.xml file, so you can assign photos to players, logos to clubs, etc. As a matter of fact, there are several other ways to do this…  

 

 

Back to your questions: 

“What do I do with the original file?” 

Not sure what you mean by “original file”… there's simply nothing to do with any other config.xml files, such as those from any graphics add-ons you download on the net. 

 

As explained, you use this template to create a new config.xml file for some graphics that you try to add to the game. So, in other words, there's no existing config.xml file at all (that's why you need to create one, using this template or other ways), and you've nothing called “original file” here. 

 

If, instead of creating a new facepack, you decide to add a few photos into a pack, then you just edit the existing config.xml file there (*Remember to backup first). In this case, since you're not building a new config.xml, you simply don't need this template. 

 

"can they coexist?" 

Suppose you have download or created some logo pack, kit pack and facepack, they should be placed into separated folders under “graphics”. Each has its own config.xml file there, and they don't touch each other at all. This should be the same case as you should have your own facepack (or anything) in another folder.  

 

This is just a template… what happen next (e.g. co-existing with other files, or whatever) is all up to you. 

Sorry would it work for fm21
