Updated logo's with alternative.

Club World Cup 2021 / 2022 logo (got delayed because of COVID).

Looks like Atletico Madrid has reverted back to their previously used logo:

Very minor changes to (new) River Plate logo:

Updated Jeonnam Dragons (South Korea) logo:

Alternative:

I use either:

FM Graphics Configurator or

FMXML

If the xml config creator isn.t creating the “icon” code at the end of the line you can manually edit it to replace whatever it says there, usually “logo”.

If you need to edit a lot i recommend using Notepad++ which has "search" and "replace" option in it, so you can mass edit files if needed

Ok, I understand. When I released the initial logo’s I created and released the logos for clubs, competitions, nations etc. one by one. In order to save a lot of work and time after all were completed I released the Megapack and put all club, nation competition logos etc together. If I would have kept it separate I would have had to update a lot of xml files with the code when logos were added or code had changed and now I have one xml file for all clubs, competition, nation etc. so makes changes a lot easier to process.

You could of course manually update your logos with the changes made and keep it al in separate folders but it’s a lot work as I mentioned so I decided not to do this for future releases.

You are correct, I used to have separate downloads for clubs, nations, confederations and competitions.

To simplify things I have combined them all in one “Megapack” but in the pack there are subfolders for all the sections, so I'm not seeing the issue here…….sorry

Why wouldn't you just download the pack and extract only the “nations” folder if you are only interested in that?

The whole pack is only around 140MB so not a few GB, so shouldn't be too much I guess.

Maybe I don't understand the “why and how” please let me know if this doesn't address the issue.

Alternative logo Supercopa de Espana and new Czech Federation logo:

Two new updated logo's:

New nation logo's with alternative Iceland logo (one is for team, other for federation)

Pistoiese - 1160
New logo

(even with manual process this was a one second job, got to appreciate simplistic designs in logo's ;-)

Detailed instructions on how to get the “FM2022 Sound Commentary” pack from “Metz” to work in FM 2021. Please follow all instructions exactly:

Make sure the game is not running when you start editing and copying

1. Install the “Resource Archiver” in Steam. If you own the game and type “Resource Archiver” it will show.
2. Copy two files “simatch.fmf” and “simatchviewer-pc” from “(install dir)/Football Manager 2021/data" to a temporary directory and name this “2021”
3. Copy the two files in the FM2022 Sound Commentary download to a different temporary directory and name it “2022”. This way you now have the same files, only different versions, in separate folders.
4. Create in both “2021” and “2022” folders two new folders each and name them “simatch” and “simatchviewer-pc”.
5. Use the “Resource Archiver” to extract simatch.fmf to the newly made “simatch” subfolder, extract the “simatchviewer-pc.fmf file to the new “simatchviewer-pc” folder. Do this for both folders (“2021” and “2022”).
6. When done use windows explorer and go to your “2021” folder and go to the “simatchviewer-pc” folder. There are a lot of files in there so be careful, ONLY delete the “sounds” folder 
7. Navigate to the “2022” folder and go to the “simatchviewer-pc” folder. There are also a lot of files in there so be careful, ONLY select the “sounds” folder and copy this to the “2021/simatchviewer-pc” folder (where you just deleted the sounds folder from. Copy and replace is not to be advised as that might cause issues so better to delete and copy.
8. Navigate again to the “2022” folder and now select the “simatch” folder, in the subfolder “events” there are two files (“match_events.xml” and “match_sounds.cfg”) copy both files (or the whole “events” folder to the “2021/simatch” folder and overwrite the existing files. 
9. Delete both fmf files in the “2021” folder, simatch.fmf and “simatchviewer-pc.fmf
10. With “Resource Archiver” select “Create archive” and navigate to the “2021/simatch” folder. Select the whole folder, not the “events” folder only, and it will create a new “simatch.fmf” in the “2021” folder
11. Do the same for the “simatchviewer-pc” folder in “2021” folder.
12. If all correctly done, you now have 2 new fmf files in the “2021” folder named simatch.fmf and “simatchviewer-pc.fmf
13. Copy these new files into your installation directory (“(install dir)/Football Manager 2021/data") and overwrite the existing files. It is always recommended to keep a copy of both files in case you want to revert back, or something went wrong.

After this start the game, make sure to reload cache and skin and it should work properly.

Montedio Yamagata (new logo)

I highly recommend using the link posted below for an updated version of live commentary for FM22.
I will not be updating this one for FM22 as the one posted here is a major improvement (at least to my opinion)
I actually got it to work for FM21 too by the way, but you can't just copy it over, if you do......your game will crash!
Follow these instructions exactly to get it to work, if not it will crash the game for sure.

You will need to extract the fmf files with Resource Archiver, replace the audio, cfg file and xml files with the ones in the new (improved) version LEAVE ALL THE OTHER FILE "AS IS" (don't delete or replace any other files as they are regular files needed by FM21 to work in game. Repack the 2 files with the Resource Archiver (simatch.fmf and simatchviewer-pc.fmf). Copy both to the FM21/data folder (rename or save the original files if you ever want to revert back, reload the skin or the game and it works (you will have the sounds from the new pack in that case in FM21).

This is the link:
https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm22-peter-drury-audio-commentary.html

Additional details in case needed:
Make sure to repack both folders you created and updated (you should have a folder "simatch" and a folder "simatchviewer-pc". When you replaced the cfg file and simatch.xml files in "simatch folder" use "Resource Archiver" to pack a new simatch.fmf. With the "simatchviewer-pc" folder you DELETE (not overwrite) the whole 'sounds' folder and leave all the rest as is. Replace the 'sound' folder with the new one and use "Resource Archiver" to create a "simatchviewer-pc.fmf" file. Now you have two fmf files that need to be copied to you FM 21 directory (in /data subfolder). That's it.......

Thanks for your detailed review and response!

Few things I learned here, never trust technology 100% (the xml tool I used coded, as you mentioned, incorrectly the club logo to person logo's), second is that I had already created the new Spanish Third Tier and Fourth tier logo's and used the coding from a different thread (I think the Metallic Logo request thread), so when you posted the same logo request I never looked at the coding itself as I “trusted the existing coding on the other thread was correct/the same”.

Either way, with exception of the quoted portion above I have fixed everything. I'm in Canada and it is middle of the night here, so heading off to bed now but will post the requested logo's later here as an addition. The new Megapack will be available now with all corrections made (at least I hope so).

I also created a new Spain logo with the star, included in the Megapack as the default logo, the one without is in the 'alt" folder ;-)

Corrected Megapack 1.1 with download link (also updated in OP).

This pack includes all logo's updated till December 3, 2021. Please read all the notes in the OP if you want to use the logo's in combination with another logo pack.

UEFA Nations League shows with me as 91, are you sure 90 is correct? Either way here is the (updated) logo:

Little teaser for the pack update:

(Spain logo definitely looking nicer in the game on player profile than the federation logo) 

No worries, I will make most of the logo's you requested. Yes, please keep reporting missing logo's like “Dortmund II” as it just needs to be copied and renamed so not a big deal and “alternative logo's” especially if they are in use and more appealing (more rounded or square as opposed to for example not much height and very wide which makes it look weird) it's all good!

Sometimes I get request for “retro logo's” or logo's not related to football teams on which I don't take action as it wouldn't benefit anyone else besides the person requesting it.

Thanks you for the detailed message and I will have a look at the logos you have suggested.

I have on purpose made a decision to not include every team or competition in the pack as every logo needs to be made individually and it is a lot of work especially if the logo is very intricate. (the FC Porto logo alone for example took me 15-20 minutes to make).

So as per the OP I decided for some countries to only make logo‘s for the (at that time) top 2-3 Tiers. Some countries more, some less. England has a lot more levels included.

The Spain logo is the team logo, not the logo for the Spanish Football Federation as you also mentioned and to be honest the team logo looks beautiful compared to the other one so I will make it (I made the decision not to make team logos as there are much more examples where the logo on the shirt differs from the actual team or federation logo).

The small logo is just a smaller (25x18) version of the same logo, copy it and resize it in a “small” folder does the trick.

With all the changes I made already since the last update pack and with your work to add another extra logos to the pack I will include all of these and create a new (full) updated logo pack within a week.

Thank you again for your work to put these messages together!

Mexico and Costa Rica, new logo's:

Not logo of the Football Club Steaua Bucuresti and as such not in the pack

Included in the Megapack
 

It's included in the Megapack and later classified as “old logo”
