what do the kits have to be saved as eg. file type and name?

File Type: PNG

Name does not matter but you probably should give them a name you can recognise them from.

i put the file type as png and then load up the game go to preferences and do all the ticking and unticking of the 'use skin cache' etc and then go to start a new game and go to the team i have created the kit for and the kit is the same with the created kt nowhere to be seen. any ideas why?

Have you created a config file?

not sure, what is the config file?

That is a file that puts the kits in the game. You can create it with notepad and should be in the same location as the kits.

how do i create it?

1. Go into notepad.

2. Type this:

<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

-->

<list id="maps">

<record from="NAME OF SAVED KIT" to="graphics/pictures/team/UNIQUE ID OF CLUB/kits/TYPE OF KIT(home, away or third)"/>

</list>

</record>

3. Repeat the line "<record from="NAME OF SAVED KIT" to="graphics/pictures/team/UNIQUE ID OF CLUB/kits/TYPE OF KIT(home, away or third)"/>" depending on how many kits you want to put in and obviously put in the correct details for each one.

4. Save the file in the same place as the kits as config.xml

ok thanks alot, but how do i find out the unique id of clubs?

Go into the game preferences and go to display and sound. Tick 'Display Unique ID's'. Confirm your changes and then go to the club's screen. Its unique ID will be just below their name at the top.

thanks, ive been going round in circles for 2 days trying tro figure it out, and i was doing it all wrong, typical.
