canvey!! Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 This won't be an ingame feature - but you're able to do this using config files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It does let you choose the picture at the start of the game. Alternatively you can do it this way: Well the first thing you need to do is create a graphics folder in this location: "My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008 if you do not already have one.The next thing is to save a picture of yourself in there as a PNG image with a size of 180 pixels by 180 pixels. Then you create a config file. Go into a text editor like notepad and type the following: <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 PICTURE" to="graphics/pictures/person/YOUR INGAME UNIQUE ID/portrait"/> </list> </record> Save the fie in the graphics folder as config.xml (remembering to change the save as file type to all files). When that is done go into preferences in the game and untick use skin cache and tick always reload skin on confirm. (These are in the display and sound section). Confirm the changes. Go back in and tick use skin cache and untick always reload skin on confirm. Confirm the changes. Go to your profile and your pictures should be there. Finding out your unique id Your unique id can be found in the game by doing this. Go to preferences and then go to display and sound. Check show unique ids. Confirm your changes and then go to your profle. Your unique id should be at the top of the screen under your name. Hopefully you get all that.
