davidmn27 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi Do you know if there's a simple way of adding a photo to your manager's profile after you've created him? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federico Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 There is a way, but the one I know is not that simple. First of all you need to rename the picture you want to use as the ID of your profile in game. Go to your Documents folder ----> Sports Interactive ---> Football Manager 2013, create a graphic folder (if not existing already), create a pictures folder (if not existing already), and finally create a person folder. Paste the renamed picture into this last folder. Open your notepad, and paste this text: <record> <!-- resource manager options --> <!-- dont preload anything in this folder --> <boolean id="dpre" value="true"/> <!-- 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="xxxxxxxxxx" to="graphics/pictures/person/xxxxxxxxxx/portrait"/> </list> </record> where "xxxxxxxxxx" is both the ID of your in-game profile and picture file name. Close and save the text file as a .xml extension. Cut and paste this file into person folder Bear in mind, never use capitalized letters, especially about extensions (.xml, and not .XML). That's all. Load the game and your picture should be there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmn27 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wow complicated! Thanks for this, I'll give it a try Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federico Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yeah it is Just to specify, the person folder must be created into pictures folder.. well the structure is like this: Documents | |--- Sports Interactive | |--- Football Manager 2013 | |--- Graphic | |--- pictures | |--- person Basically you don't have to create those 3 folders into Football Manager 2013 one, but each one inside the previous, like a matrioska I'm sorry but english is not my native language (as you surely noticed).

ST3V3NBOND Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Just a question to SI regarding this. Will changes to manager photos be easier to manage in FM14? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryknow Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Once you have that file and gain a slight understanding of HTML, then you will be set. Just put the time into making that .xml as Federico said, and you can use it for future FMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST3V3NBOND Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm already set as it is. I was only asking really because it would save time (be it a couple of minutes) and be much simpler for those with little or no knowledge on XML files. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soterakis Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 where can I find the ID of my in-game profile? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieldy_21 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Hi guys, apologies for bumping this thread. I have been trying to change my Manager Profile Picture, I managed to create myself a facegen manager picture to use in game but I didn't really want to start a new save just to get the picture into the game. I followed the steps above but for some reason it's still not working for me. The coding I used is below, can anyone see if I have made a rookie error?! <record> <!-- resource manager options --> <!-- dont preload anything in this folder --> <boolean id="dpre" value="true"/> <!-- 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="1394666333" to="graphics/pictures/person/mattfacegenfinal2/portrait"/> </list> </record> I'm not sure if I have done it correctly or not but I still have the hollow white silhouette on the manager profile page Thanks for any help!

Shrewnaldo Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I'm only an amateur but this line looks wrong to me: <record from="1394666333" to="graphics/pictures/person/mattfacegenfinal2/portrait"/> I think it should be: <record from="1394666333" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394666333/portrait"/> Assuming that 1394666333 is your profile's unique ID and the picture itself has been renamed to 1394666333.png?
