Importing player pics for self-made team

[Lithium]

Hey,

I've made my own team and players with the FM2005 Editor, but I don't know where I should place them, and what filename I should use for the photos..
Does anybody know how I can import the pictures of the self-made players in the game?

Thanks..

as far as i know.....

FM Folder > data > graphics > pictures > players

you make a new folder there

put the pics of the players in *.png format (lastname.png to make it easier to work with

create config.xml in the folder with the code

<record>
	<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>
	<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>
		
	<list id="maps">

	</list>
</record>

you then load the game in FM and go to options. There you check "Show Unique Ids" and then confirm.

you find your players and record their Id numbers (under their names at the top of the screen"

then you go back to config.xml and add the players between <list id="maps"> and </list>. to do that you use this format:

<record from="(players image name minus the .png)" to="graphics/pictures/person/(player number)/portrait"/>

so it might be

<record from="zinedine zidane" to="graphics/pictures/person/8076/portrait"/>

you repeat that line for all of the players and reload the game

Two notes about the png files: The images have to be on a different layer from the background, otherwise they'll look scrambled in the game, and make them 95x95 pixels.

how du mean?

 

[rpvankasteren]

FM can't get the data from the background layer properly, so you have to make sure the image data is layered, and the pic is in a floating layer.

how du do that then?

 

[rpvankasteren]

In photohop, just open up a new canvas, and paste. You'll see "layer 1" as layer specification. This means your pic is not flat, and the data is in a non-background layer. Edit the pic as you like, and "save as" when you're done. Select *.png from the dropdown menu, and enter the name you want to give it (no caps).

hey scotto... how do you make a self-made team? Do you replace an old one in playable league. or add league and add club or what? Im confused to how to start making my team and how I can get to manage them in game...cheers...

I can answer that for you

You can add a new club in the clubs section of the editor through "edit > create club". The "add team" option is to make your reserves team play in a lower league that can be selected for management, like the German situation.

To be able to manage your newly created club, you need to replace a club in a league you can select for management. This can be done only in the "teams" tab of the competitions section. There you 1. select the club you wish to swap with your team, 2. press "swap", 3. select your club.
