Hi.

To put it simply, this year I had modified the tree structure of the folders for more ease and time savings for me (missing sorely): The logos are classified by continent and no longer by country.

And in the same logic of saving time but also making it easier for users to see what has been added/modified with the update, I created a separate folder.

In fact, if you follow the installation instructions explained on the official site (I'll put the image here after), there is an installation method to follow, simpler than usual and which I have set up since the beginning of the TCM, i.e. 10 years: You must not go to find or create the graphics folder then the logos (and therefore do as you did, copy/paste the "logos" folder in the pack in place), but simply copy/paste the "graphics" folder which is pre-created in all the packs I offer.

You will therefore have to find an "update" folder in the "logo" folder which is placed before the various "Continents" folders. The game will naturally look for the files that are first in alphabetical order (even if the file appears in several config files) and therefore will prioritize the update folder. But I see that between the bad youtube tutorials and the habits of going to create or move the "logos" folders this is a problem for some, and so next year, I will start again on folders by country and with updates "classics" which will remove the old logos... If I have time...

 

Thank you very much for this explanation. I actually think it's better in the way you did it. The thing is many others I tried don't do it that way, that's why I was confused.

Hey guys, I have a doubt that never happened to me before and I've been playing FM since the 1st came out…
I always use TCM logos and this never happened to me. 
So here's the issue:
Everytime there is an update, being it logos, faces, etc… What I do is I smash and I replace the older files with the new ones, which means, I use the updated files and replace the original pack ones. This worked everytime, but in this FM somehow it's not working… So what I think is, when I smash the older files, the config file is smashed as well, so there is no config file for the older files… But this is only happening to the TCM logos, it doesn't happen with faces, for example.
So can you describe me, if you know, how this works? Do I have to paste the new update files in a separate folder, not replacing the older files? And if so, how does the game interpret the newer files by being newer if they exist in both config files, older and update?
Thank you for your time, I really just want to understand how it works so I can solve this issues, and maybe to help other people that have no idea whats is going on.
Edit: I'm trying soritoutsis cutout facepack, and the updates, for example, ask to replace the older files. Will this work? Or will it as well, replace the older config files?
