#578662 3D Match Balls Pack

#577725 SS' kits Technical Help Thread
Tommy Hughes
Hmm... did you rename both, the files and the lines in the config.xml? I have come across unusual alphabets before and renaming the shirts and their entries in the config has fixed the issue. What I mean is there should be no unusual letters among the files or in the config and then the kits should show up.

I know, he looks a bit younger today than he did in that photo. 😉
#576555 Some kits not working? SSKCC20.4.4 v1.7 for SS'2020/21 kits on FM20 only (15/01/21) Relink!
Tommy Hughes
Like it says in the description, it's for FM20 only. They're currently working on a new version for FM21.

This file has great potential to grow even better and to cover so many more countries, regions and interesting, passionate rivalries, as local FM players lend their expertise the way you just did! [Thumbs up]

Great! This file is a must for me. Also, do you think you'll be making the realistic injuries for FM21? I've enjoyed that one as well.

Install every pack from first to last, in that order, and you'll get the newest version of every adboard and working configs.

#574354 FM2021 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v4.0 for FM21.4 [released on 16/03/2021]
Tommy Hughes
I noticed that, unlike in the Beta version, the \2110\ folder included edt & lnc subfolders as well as the dbc one, so I deleted them and copied the fixed ones in that folder as well. Just to be sure. 🙂
#574320 FM2021 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v4.0 for FM21.4 [released on 16/03/2021]
Tommy Hughes
EDIT:
All of a sudden it worked, kind of. I was able to extract the contents of \simatch\ third time of asking, even though I still cannot browse the contents of archives in the Resourse Archiver...
#573683 FM2020 Licensing and Real Name Fix File v2.3 for FM20.4.1 [released on 28/04/2020]
Tommy Hughes
Just like mons said, I haven't noticed Steam updating FM 2020 either, so the files you mentioned should not have been changed recently by an update. There must be something else causing the issue.

#572307 Toot Toot - The Owls
Tommy Hughes
To imagine this community is full of similar stories, football-related lifestyles and impactful experiences connected to Championship Manager and Football Manager... we're all connected through it, and get to enjoy the content, ideas and passion shared by us all. It really is one of the more remarkable game series, phenomena and communities around the gaming world.
#572261 FM20 Adboard Patch - V1.4 Out Now!!!
Tommy Hughes
I don't mean to promise anything on behalf of rabcp, but I'm sure it would help your cause if you could provide some pictures of the adboards at Montrose's stadium.
#571377 Former Internationals Improvements
Tommy Hughes
Do you know what their role is in Football Manager games? Are they those "non-active" people - pundits and club legends - that various media sources interview ahead of big matches etc.?
#570405 England - English Leagues Level 1-6 SS'2020/21 Relink! (30/04/21)
Tommy Hughes
Yes, they do. If there are some isues with third kits or kit colors, those will be dealt with when the full game is released, but most kits will be fully compatible with the beta version.
#570400 sortitoutsi Background and Stadium Packs Technical Support Thread
Tommy Hughes
I've already downloaded the full FM 21 background pack (sortitoutsi_backgrounds_megapack_2021.00.zip) but this new config.xml is the only thing I'm missing now. 🙂
EDIT: What I mean is I cannot download the new updated config.xml you linked to your post above. It doesn't show any free mirrors, only the ad for the Premium Membership.
#570397 sortitoutsi Background and Stadium Packs Technical Support Thread
Tommy Hughes
Thanks, I would but when I click the file name it takes me to the download screen but there are no free download methods available. I'm not a premium member, you see.
#570365 sortitoutsi Background and Stadium Packs Technical Support Thread
Tommy Hughes
Must be something caused by the config. I downloaded the latest megapack and prioritised it in loading order by adding a "1" at the beginning of the folder name in \graphics\backgrounds. FM 21 would not show the backgrounds or even stadium pictures. As soon as I moved the newest pack way down in loading order by replacing the "1" with "z", the older background pictures I had from my FM 19 and FM 20 worked just fine.
#569833 Can you install skins on the beta version of the game?
Tommy Hughes
Wonderful stuff! Thank you so much for your help!
#569650 Can you install skins on the beta version of the game?
Tommy Hughes
I use a minimally edited skin to allow backgrounds and get rid of things like the white box on the scouting screen etc, and with the required changes, it has loaded fine (I should stress that this is "so far" - I haven't yet tested on all screens or during a match etc).
This minimally edited skin you mentioned sounds like a neat thing to have, especially during this beta stage when I can't even browse the .fmf files with FM 2020's Archiver Tool. (It saddens and worries me that I'm not able to edit the sounds and sound triggers of FM 2021. Hopefully it'll be possible once the "official game" launches...)
Is there any way you could share the basic skin you've made for FM 2021?
#569574 Can you install skins on the beta version of the game?
Tommy Hughes
Unfortunately FM 21 won't accept a skin made for FM 20. It was the same with FM 20 and skins originally made for FM 19 etc. I remember back in the day you were able to at least edit the transparency level of the backgrounds yourself, without using a complete new skin made for that specific iteration of the game. Those were good times, because that way I could apply the background picture packs straight away in the beta stage of FM. Nowadays things don't work the same way, and we have no choice but to look at the default backgrounds and layout until the official version of the game and the Archiver Tools get released and people are able to start creating skins for FM 21.
#569569 FM20 Adboard Patch - V1.4 Out Now!!!
Tommy Hughes
Hey!
I was originally unimpressed with the "new" features and was considering just kicking a water bottle and not buying the latest game first time in years. However, I was convinced when I found out about the match engine and animation changes, which should (I've yet to play an actual match in FM21 because I'm slowly setting up my first beta save) improve the match experience immensely and add more realistic variety to it. Pretty much all the Steam reviews so far seem to reflect that as well.
#569219 FM21 Full Game is out
Tommy Hughes
Fingers crossed there will be an archiver tool for this year's game as well and the great community is able to work its magic as per usual. Frankly the game would not feel the same if that wasn't the case. 😢
#568667 Your Beta Save FM'21
Tommy Hughes
There are many interesting clubs playing in the second tier of Spain as well...
And Nacional da Madeira in Portuguese Liga NOS is a club I'd like to make a return to, having managed them in FM 2019...
There really is an abundance of intriguing options out there!
#568446 When would you recommend to start?
Tommy Hughes
If you mean when should you start a save in FM 2021, then the real names and licenses fix usually gets released the same day as the beta, only some hours later, so it might be worth the wait so that you get to have the correct names etc. in your first beta save.
I can't really say about the other patches, though.
