DP Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Okay - you want logo's and player pictures?? All you need are two files in the 'Skinning Hideout' forum. The first is in the Metallic logo's thread and the second is the cut out player pics (big 7 page thread). They will take a while to download (quicker if you download a torrent) but are all you need to have every club, competition logo and player pics of over 50,000 players, staff etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I would like to download the badges too. I got a facepack to work, but can't remember how I did it! I have tried the badges but can't get them to work. Do I need to unzip the file? It would be great if someone could post here a step-by-step method of EXACTLY what to do for people with no idea!

Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks very much ftg87 The above link from tonif costs you money though to download the badges... Has anyone got a link where I can download the Prem badges, or all badges, in one link? I saw one with 8 different downloads, but to me that's too much. I just want one link, that's free..

Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 It is certainly not rubbish tonif. I just tried to download from your link myself and it kept trying to get me to pay. The links posted by axh14u are free though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 7-Zip is installed using the .exe you download, following the instructions on-screen. To install The Unarchiver simply double click on the .zip file you download from their website then drag the program it extracts (called 'The Unarchiver') into your apps folder. That to me is foreign! I have downloaded the 7-zip thing. Can anyone please tell me in easy to understand terms what I do now please? I have no idea what is meant by 'The Unarchiver' or where I find my apps folder! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Realised The Unarchiver doesn't appy to me! So, I have downloaded it, put it in my graphics folder, and it doesn't work.

Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 So I DO need to unzip it? It's just I don't think my facepack is unzipped and that works... Also I have downloaded Winrar previously. I will try again now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Aah, I went to download Winrar previously and it tried to charge me. When I just tried to get the free one it wouldn't work. Why does it all have to be so complicated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis_D Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I have just deleted the whole lot. I am going to have one last crack at it and then give up. I don't see why FM can't just put them in the game in the first place, really annoying for people who don't have a clue! I downloaded the logo pack you posted mate, going to try that again and hope it works, this time I have Winrar downloaded beforehand, so I'm hoping this may make a difference.

Have you downloaded the torrent? If not download bitorrent from http://www.bittorrent.com/ If you have the folder just needs placing in the following location Windows XP Users C:\Documents And Settings\[YOUR ACCOUNT NAME]\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\fm-base.co.uk logopack\ Windows Vista & Windows 7 Users C:\Users\[YOUR ACCOUNT NAME]\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics\fm-base.co.uk logopack And to load into the game: Open up FM and go to the preferences screen (SHIFT + P) and browse the the Display & Sound tab. You then need to make sure that 'skin cache' is UNTICKED and that 'reload skin on confirm' is TICKED. Then click confirm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you downloaded it all then no you need not do anyhing else. There is some issue with those kits. The images are there for them but the game doesn't use them. I downloaded the separate packs and its the same with them. Not sure why really. Might be something wrong with the xml file. I would have to have a look and see if I can see anything wrong. If I find anything I will let you know. Anyone else know the reason? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use uTorrent but at a guess have a look in options or preferences to see where your default location is. Or search your computer for the folders "megapack" and "nation specific packs" Copy these into the graphics folder and hey presto you have the club logos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look at the XML file I have and there is nothing wrong with it and the image is corrrectly named. So I'm not sure why these images don't load but the other ones do.
