Trying to add my own pics to a game???errr

I created myself and my brother as non-league players in the editor, and added photos to the documents>si>fm>graphics>facepacks> folder and then I changed their size to 180x180 which seems to be the size of most other pics in the game (?) and I used something I downloaded from sortitoutsi.net called 'fm graphics configurator' which I simply ran over the file I made and it created a config file for my photos.

THen i loaded FM08 and changed the setting to 'load skin on confirm' and my own photos are not showing up. Am I doing something wrong?

Have you unticked the "Use skin cache" box in the display & sound preferences? That's usually the problem

Yes I've just tried that one, thanks but it still ain't there.

I've also changed the photos to 'PNG' format which is correct I believe. Haha totally stuck!

have you named the files with capital letters? If so get rid of them as the last time I messed with this it didn't seem to like capital letters and wouldn't pick up the file if there were any in it.

No I named the photos with the unique id of the players I made in the editor, 161449210 and 151339211. Are you supposed to name them as your players' names like? just surname or full name?

Could you post up the config file?

Could you post up the config file?

Uploaded it onto mediafire.com here's a link to it.

Soz before I put the wrong player ID's, the files I'm really wanting to work are 1394634212 and 1394634219

there are a few more pics in the file but these are the ones I'm really wanting to work.

thanks for any help you can provide mate

Right click on the Config file then click open with Internet Explorer then copy and paste the URL and post it on here, save people downloading it

<record from="NAME OF PICTURE" to="graphics/pictures/person/UNIQUE ID/portrait"/>

That is what it should be. Copy and paste all the above and replace what is currently in the config file with it. Change NAME OF PICTURE to obviously the name of your picture and UNIQUE ID to the unique ID for the ingame person you want to use that picture for.

Hopefully that helps.

Glad you got it working.

If you want to add more than 2 pictures do you just add more of the

<record from="NAME OF PICTURE" to="graphics/pictures/person/UNIQUE ID/portrait"/> line to the config file ?
