How do I download FMM?

I want to download FMM so that i can change the kit colours of my team, so went to a website and downloaded it.

When i opened it, it was just a load of error messages and question marks.

Can anyone link me to a website that lets me download FMM 2.25, and give me step by step advice on how to download it please?

The red background and dark blue writing is really annoying!

Thanks

Ask in the Editors Forum. They know stuff.

I was going to try the editors forum, but its a graveyard...

That link says that my PC doesnt support Javascript.

Do you have a different link?

Downloaded it, what do I do now?

Where do I extract it to?

I don't remember as I've just got a new PC, but in theory one would extract it to the location of their choice and then run the executable.

This is what happened

I extracted it to where it was, and opened FMM.

It asked me to confirm if I knew where this program was from, and i said I did.

Then the option box on the screenie came up.

What do you think I should do?

Anyone got any ideas?

Sorry, im impatient!

looks like its already installed on your computer... just press repair and see what happens..

Pressed repair, and it repaired.

But when I go to open it, it goes to that screen again.

Run a search on your computer for FMM2.25 - then you'll see if you already have it. It looks to me like you do.

1 - Yep, it appeared

Open up the program that appeared.

That didnt work.

It opened, and went onto FMM.

I searched, and it came up with this.

This

BTW, it wont let me get out of the ? screen.

See if you can uninstall that - it's the Chinese download. Try downloading again from one of the links I provided up the thread.

You don't need to use FMM, which could mess up your save, to change kit colours. A simple *.lnc file will do fine.

Thanks for that link.

But I dont understand it!

I dont suppose that you could do it for me could you?

If you can, then can you change the colours for me please?

If so then please ask for any details that you will need.

Thanks

It is not so difficult. Here is the example given at the link (paste it to your Notepad):

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">

"COLOUR_CHANGE" 680 0 255 174 215 128 0 255

</pre>

680 - the Man U ID

0 - the first choise kit (1 is away kit and 2 third kit)

255 174 215 - RGB for the foreground colour

128 0 255 - RGB for the background colour

You said you have the colours, so edit the RGBs and team ID and save the edited code to (if you are using the official 802 DB):

Football Manager 08\data\updates\update-802\db\802\lnc\all

You can give it any name you want as long as the extention is .lnc (that is LNC). For example team_x_colour_change.lnc.

Reload your save and the changes should be visible.

Its an edited team, does that matter?

Oh, and how do I know what colours are what?

BTW - I am using 8.0.2, but it is editted, thats what I meant.

In case of an edited DB the lnc -file should be placed into the \lnc\all folder of that particular DB.

Colour codes can be found in graphics editors, or for example where you can define custom colours for kits in the pre game editor. RGB - red, green and blue. You could also search the web for an RGB colour chart or something.

One drawback actually with using this method to change colours is that the kits will be of "plain" style. If that is a problem, it is of course possible to attach .png kits to the team.

I have sorted this out

"COLOUR_CHANGE" 5100186 0 255 255 0 0 0 255

"COLOUR_CHANGE" 5100186 1 255 0 0 0 0 0

"COLOUR_CHANGE" 5100186 2 255 255 255 0 0 205

The database is called 'New Club', so what would I do?

Im still a bit confused!

Cheers

I put it in

Football Manager 08\data\updates\update-802\db\802\lnc\here

Is that right?

I think it shuld be placed under the new DB, so if what you said didn't work, you should find where the DB "New Club" is on your HD. Typically it should be in a place like My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\db\. If you have trouble locating it, click in your game options -> preferences -> general. Somewhere on the lower part of that screen ought to be user data folder location address, which should give and idea where the edited DB is.
