A huge thank you to Bassey for his work on this. Incredible effort. 

 

I have tried over the weekend to convert to this to Mac. As Bassey has relayed on X, this has been impossible to date, owing to the different files systems used by Mac. In summary, the pack relies on DirectX shaders (.fx files), which are Windows-only. Football Manager on Mac uses Metal/OpenGL, so those shaders simply aren’t supported and the stadiums won’t render correctly (or at all). In addition to the DirectX shader problem, the stadium pack also relies on a runtime injection system (via BepInEx / DLL-style hooks). Again, this is not Mac compatible.

 

To be clear, theres nothing wrong with the pack itself, it’s a Mac limitation. To make it work on Mac, the shaders would need to be removed and the lighting/effects baked directly into the textures, which is a separate conversion job. In addition another injection system would need to be developed. 

 

in summary, If you’re on Windows: you’re all good. If you’re on Mac: unfortunately this one’s a no-go for now.

 

Hope that saves a few people some head-scratching and the repeated questions.
