Woohoo, Im able to play FM again After more than a month I couldnt, and I got my PC back after 8 days, woohoo.

Question though: I reinstalled FM, my PC was formatted, and ofcourse, I placed my superb tactics, saves, databases, pictures etc. which I burned on a CD before I brought away my PC, back in the FM folder.

The problem is though, the default kits dont work anymore. Kinda the same as with Socrates (look through the screenshot showoff) Ruud said it was because of multiple xml files, I only have 1 though, anyone know the solution?

Well, the "config.xml" file in the default folder should be empty, apart from the standard loading lines.

The folder should contain files called "1.png" up to "20.png", plus that "config.xml".

You are talking about the random kits, right? Or did you mean something else?

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Yeah, I mean the random ones.

Are this the standard loading lines?

- <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

-->
</record>

I only have 1 to 20.png and the xml indeed

 

[rpvankasteren]

That should be good. All I can think of then is that something happened to the files. The format was maybe changed somehow, though I can't see how

Can you explain this in English please?? I dont understand how you fix it.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Well, I have no clue what it means, just copied it from the xml file

 

[rpvankasteren]

Hassan, your problem was with teams with unique kits, right? This config.xml isn't what you need to fix. You'll have to search through every single other config.xml buried in the kits folder, and search for duplicate lines in there. Then deleting the ones that lead to pics you don't want to keep (or that aren't even there, happened to me with some national team kits ).

The lines you're looking for are of this type:

<record from="(string1)" to="graphics/pictures/team/(string2)/kits/(string3)"/>

where (string1) is the filename of the kit image, without it's .png extension
where (string2) is the unique ID for the club
where (string3) is the kit the line points at, either home, away, or third

So an example would be:

<record from="agovv_home" to="graphics/pictures/team/100936/kits/home"/>

I have a back-up from my pictures on the pc though, but it's in a completly other map, could this be the problem?

 

[rpvankasteren]

It could, but only if it was somewhere within the football manager folder. I doubt it though, I do believe the generic kits are put together with those in that specific folder.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

well, they are not in the fm folder anyways...
