Default Arsenal Strip Problem

Bit of a strange one here, not me:smile: , the problem I have with the Arsenal strip.

When I'm playing a game, for some reason the Arsenal strip doesn't show next to the score when the game is being played.

All other strips of every other team in the game show, but for some reason when I play Arsenal, there strip doesn't show.
If I go to club information, the strips are displayed there fine, but during a game it's just blank!!

I started a game as Arsenal, don't know why I thought that might make a difference, same thing, the opposition strips showed, just not Arsenal.

It's just a minor thing, but you know yourselves, these type of things are annoying.

It must be something quite simple to sort, or possibly me being simple!!

Anyone have any idea how to fix this??

Cheers.

Think I sussed it out, check out the config file -

<record from="arsenal-home" to="graphics/pictures/team/602/kits/home/2005" />
<record from="arsenal-away" to="graphics/pictures/team/602/kits/away" />
<record from="arsenal-home" to="graphics/pictures/team/602/kits/home" />

I'm guessing that top line with '2005' in it needs to be deleted, how do you do that that, anyone know??

click with your right mouse butten on the config file. Click 'open with notepad'. There you will be able to delete it with backspace or delete button:P After deleting remember saving the file and its done;)

I tried deleting the line in the config file, but that didn't solve the problem, still no strip.

But, I've worked it out now, don't delete that line, just have this seasons Arsenal home strip in your Premiership Kit folder twice, but one with the name 2005 and the other without.

Config -

<record from="arsenal_home" to="graphics/pictures/team/602/kits/home/2005" />
<record from="arsenal_away" to="graphics/pictures/team/602/kits/away" />
<record from="arsenal_home" to="graphics/pictures/team/602/kits/home" />
<record from="arsenal_third" to="graphics/pictures/team/602/kits/third" />




Hopefully that helps the others that are having problems, its working fine for me now.

This same thing happened to me. What happens is, if you have more than one kit for one team in your program files, it screws it up. So maybe you have d/l more than one arsenal kit? Happened to me and as soon as I found the second kit, I deleted it and now it works fine.

The reason of the fault with the Arsenal kit in the first season is due to SI made a programming error so the kits do not show up automatically

Ok, so basically the creased kit pack with the england folder downloadable here at FMF is perfect minus the premiership folder. The kits are fine, some of them from last season, but the problem lies in the config file.

If you open the config file that is in the permiership folder you'll notice it is a bit different than any of the other config files you'll open in any other league or division folder.

Here is what the premiership config file looks like...

<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->

<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="dpre" value="true"/>

<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

<!-- logo mappings -->


<list id="maps">

as compared to any other config file that you'll look at...

<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->

<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

<!-- logo mappings -->
<!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions
in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any
place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics
files from the correct places
-->

<list id="maps">

As you can see the premiership config file it set not to preload anything in the folder and a result the game will not pick up the graphics but rather just revert to the default kits.

To fix this so that everything is preloaded and that the game will pick up the correct kits you simply need to copy this portion of the file from any of the correct config files...

<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->

<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

<!-- logo mappings -->
<!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions
in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any
place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics
files from the correct places
-->

<list id="maps">

And paste it over the top of the corresponding part of the messed up premiership config file. This will solve the basic part of your problem although there is another minor fix that needs to be done to fully get use of all your kits.

You'll also notice on the premiership config file that if you scroll down to some of the actual kit names for each club, you'll notice that the name of the kit in the file which is supposed to correspond to the name of the kit in the folder is incorrect, ala...

<record from="spurs_home" to="graphics/pictures/team/728/kits/home"/>
<record from="spurs_away" to="graphics/pictures/team/728/kits/away"/>
<record from="spurs_third" to="graphics/pictures/team/728/kits/third"/>

If you take a look at the actual name of the kit in the folder it's not "spurs_home," "spurs_away," etc., it is actually "tottenham_home," and tottenham_away." So you'll need to go down the list of club kits that correspond to their actual file name in the folder and make sure that they are all correct. As far as the lists further down for the reserves and U-18 kits im not sure if you need those or not. Personally I deleted those lists in the config file and everything works just the same.

I hope that helps anyone out that was having the same problem I was a few days ago. Enjoy!

Also, im sure you'll notice alot of the kits that are included in the most recent update aren't the 06/07 current kits. If we could get a kitmaker together to make all of the latest kits I could put it all together and make an updated pack( I don't have the time to do the kits myself, otherwise I would).
