Andrew Haines Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Probably about time I released an update. Loads of updates since the last release. Big updates to Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland as I have played in these nations. Lots of miscellaneous updates as well. I also got out and added more of my own images. I went on holiday to Carcassone in southern France recently . I got really good pictures of Anfield and Goodison on the way to Liverpool airport. Also had a little adventure to Toulouse. I speak no French but grabbed a bag and jumped on a train. The stadium is about 3 miles from the train station so it was a big walk, particularily as I got minorly lost on the way back. I ended up walking about 8 miles in the end. I got some decent pictures although the stadium itself is a bit ugly. They were doing some development work as I believe it is a Euro 16 stadium. I'm going to have a trip out next weekend and get pictures of a few of the Lancashire stadiums, particularily Old Trafford and the Etihad. I'll release the update after this.

Andrew Haines Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 for me, not working - by using Flut Skin Dark 2.7( copy to ....C:\Users\PC_User\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2015\graphics\backgrounds ) The location looks correct. Try it with the basic FM skin. If the backgrounds are visible then the issue is with the skin. If not let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super work, fella. Many thanks! Thanks I get a lot of pleasure out of it. I've been out and about to take more images myself the past few weeks. Really pleased with some of them. Got very good pictures of the north east clubs, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle. I've taken pics of about 100 stadiums now. The best big stadium I've been to is St James' Park in my opinion, better than either of the Manchester stadiums (very disappointed by Old Trafford). Of the non-League stadiums I think that Stocksbridge Park Steels was my favourite. Wigan was the worst, very dull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now St. James' Park is on my list, though I'll probably try to make it to Old Trafford as well. I'm managing a third division side in Sweden now (Västra Frölunda IF). Any Chance you could add some images? I've never created a file for any editing additions to the game, but I assume it would be quite difficult to add an image myself for a specific team and have the new image play nicely with the backgrounds pack you created.

Actually surprisingly easy to add them in. Have a look at the config.ini file in the backgrounds folder, the format isn't too difficult. I struggle a bit with lower league teams abroad. Google translate helps with websites but sometimes tricky to browse for an image. If you have a decent image you want me to add let me know and if it's up to scratch (minimum resolution 1600x1200 and not blurred. Pics of the exterior and interior go on specific screens) I will add it into the pack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Haines Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 If you pass Solihull Moors on your travels then I would love some quality ones of that... I'm planning on a trip to Birmingham so definitely doable. May not be until next year though. Pictures look better with the sun shining. I've got a trip to Glasgow coming up in December. Hopefully the weather will be okay and I'll whip round as many grounds as I can manage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Haines Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 If you pass Solihull Moors on your travels then I would love some quality ones of that... I've just had a quick look and there's actually a decent picture of Solihull in the pack but the code in the config file is wrong. If you want to add it then open the config.ini file in the backgrounds folder in notepad. Search for Solihull and change the code for the club and team which for some reason is 30008 to the correct code which is 30010181. I'll update for the next release anyway.

There are zip files in the pack which contain different config files that use the images differently. One of them used the pic from inside the ground as default.

Andrew Haines Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Just a quick update. I got to a few more grounds to get pictures before the weather turned bad so the next version will include these. I had a trip up to the north east and went around 9-10 grounds. This includes pics of Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland which are some of my favourites in the pack right now. I have put quite a bit of work into some of the larger European Leagues including full updates to Germany and Italy. I have a trip to Scotland in a couple of weeks so will be getting to as many grounds as I can while I'm there. I will use this as a prelude to a full overhaul of the Scottish pictures as they haven't had a lot of effort from me over the past few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
