Hello everyone. I'm just new, I only recently have internet but I am a FM addict and would like to think im a bit of an expert

Im sorry If I have posted this in the wrong place but I was just wondering if there was something I could download that would allow me to allocate logos to a team.

For example if I create a team I could give them a badge.

Also I downloaded english prem pack and unpacked it, now what do I do?

any help would be appreciated. many thanks.

AL.

thanks john.

the prem pack I downloaded means the badges have a white box around them. It looks a bit naff. Is there other packs where it is transparent round the edges of badge?

Also any idea where I could get somesort of tool that allows me to allocate badges myself. Is there instruction on how to create one of those '.xml' documents to tell it where things go. Like I mentioned to a custom team and also I want to upload Hong Kong Football Clubs logo.

Sorry to be annoying. Any help is appreciated though.

for any GFX you need to have a config file, which is what tells the graphics what player/team it is ffor thanks to the unique ID's. when you download any GFX you have to place the files in the right directory im afraid.

the best logo's to use are the stickerbook logo's.

Thanks for your help, but I know you have to do it I was asking if there were instructions anyway explaining how to do it? create a config file that is.

so if i was to add myself to game I could add a picture too.

It’s pretty simple actually. It’s more or less just a text file that can be created in a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.

Below is an example xml file:

<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">

<record from="filename01" to="graphics/pictures/club/1111/logo"/>
<record from="filename02" to="graphics/pictures/club/1111/logo/huge"/>
<record from="filename03" to="graphics/pictures/club/1111/logo/background/left"/>
<record from="filename04" to="graphics/pictures/club/1111/logo/background/right"/>
<record from="filename05" to="graphics/pictures/club/1111/icon"/>

</list>
</record>

Using the example above, this would do the following…

filename01.png would be displayed as the normal team logo for a team with the unique id of 1111
filename02.png would be displayed as the huge team logo for a team with the unique id of 1111
filename03.png would be displayed as the background left team logo for a team with the unique id of 1111
filename04.png would be displayed as the background right team logo for a team with the unique id of 1111
filename05.png would be displayed as the small team logo for a team with the unique id of 1111

How do I find out what the Unique ID is?
This can be done by going to “Options > Preferences > Display & Sound” and selecting “Show Unique IDs” and Confirm. You then simply need to navigate to the team or player you want to find out the ID for and it should display as a number underneath their name in the titlebar beside the small flag.

What do I save my config file as?
You need to save it as config.xml

If you save it and it shows up as a text file or something then you have to select “All Files” or something similar in the filetype option when saving.
here it explains about config files
