Phil Macklam Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm sure this worked in previous demo versions of FM? I installed via Steam and transfered over all my kits, faces, logo's etc from FM2010 into FM2011 in the Documents folder.....but nothing works at all? So I put them into the FM2011 folder within Steam and still nothing. I just hate the generic logo's etc and would like to add what I have into the game. How do I get custom graphics to appear in the demo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted October 21, 2010 Administrators Share Posted October 21, 2010 Have you ensured that 'Use Skin Cache' is unticked in Preferences? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Macklam Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 I should of done......I'll get back to you on that one as in desperation I uninstalled and almost reinstalled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Macklam Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 OMG please bury me now......I hold my head in shame.....I never unticked "Use Skin Cache". I have wasted all afternoon and early evening until now with many many copy and pastes of my 6.5Gb graphics folder between my Documents folder and Steam and back again twice more and I go and forget the basics......LMAO Thanks Phil for the reply I will now go and finally enjoy the game.

Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted October 21, 2010 Administrators Share Posted October 21, 2010 No worries, it's a common mistake, one easily forgotten if you do it when you get the game and never again afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanjunkie Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 So, does it matter what folder its in then? Steam or my docs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trents Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm the same. Every release I have to bury myself in the skinning forum to relearn the same old stuff again. Once I have the game as I like it, it stays that way for the next 12 months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Macklam Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Apparently not...my now currently working graphics are in the Steam folder but must also work in Documents. Just don't be a plum like me and forget to untick the box. Best thing to do is get say the Prem kits and badges and put them in Documents and then refresh the skin if they appear you have your answer, thus you don't waste all day like me.

urbanjunkie Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Just created a graphics folder in the steam folder. All is well. Anyone know why my imported personal pic of my wonderful face has disappeared? Added at the start of the quicksave when adding my name etc. No longer in the game.

I think that happens because you created the graphics folder and reloaded your preferences after you've started the game. It happens to me every time I reload my preferences because I've included new graphics. I'm sure there should be a way to get it back again or added on, but I'm not that good with that side of things; sorry! This year I will be getting everything done before I actually start a new game.

Phil Macklam Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 My picture is in it's own folder within the players pictures folder and has a config file for it. It appeared like all the other graphics when I unticked the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you put it there yourself and created the config file to go with it too. Maybe you could share your expertise here with us... pretty please? Or, are you saying that FM will create it itself if you have already created the graphics folder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanjunkie Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 You amend the existing config file if I remember correctly. Something else I've noticed...kits. Are there no home/away/third kits in the demo for championships sides? I've only added kits for the Prem, re: custom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanjunkie Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Anyone for the kit issue? /\ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted October 22, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted October 22, 2010 There should be kits in the game for every Football League club. I've seen some screenshots posted with the kits that came with the game so they must be there. All user added content is best to be placed in the Documents area so that it doesn't conflict with any content that is already there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanjunkie Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 From the looks of it, other than the Prem kits I've added, all kits for all other sides have disappeared. Got my graphics folder in the steam folder at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintchip Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 You have a 6.5GB graphics folder? Wow. If we upload multiple copies of a players pics, will they change in the game, or will it stick with one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanjunkie Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Installed via downloaded Strawberry version. Moved graphics folder with Prem kits, faces and metallic logos into the FM2011 demo folder. Started the game for the first time. No kits (home, away, third) for anyone other than the Prem. Panic over. Now working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
