stevemc Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hi all, I've finally completed this project, it's 227 pictures strong, that's one background for each international football team (249mb in file size). All are 2560x1600 at 227px, which is basically MacBook retina size, so the quality is superb. I only got a D in GSCE Geography so if you notice any errors please let me know and I'll correct them. Steps to add to your game; 1a. Download nation here 1b. Download continent here 2a. Unzip and place here: ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ graphics ▸ backgrounds ▸ nation 2b. Unzip and place here: ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ graphics ▸ backgrounds ▸ continent 3. Go to preferences and click "Reload Skin" Please note: For these to work you'll need to use a custom transparent skin, or the Base Skins. There is a Background Mod here too if needed. If you'd like to use the transparent panels from my screenshots, then; 1. Download my background and background fade folders here 2. Unzip and place here: ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ skins ▸ skin name ▸ graphics ▸ boxes ▸ custom ▸ background fade ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ skins ▸ skin name ▸ graphics ▸ boxes ▸ custom ▸ background 3. Go to preferences and click "Reload Skin" Enjoy... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi all, I worked on a project of adding waving flag pictures to the backgrounds of all international football teams throughout the game (about 3-4 years back), I did this for my own personal use, but thought I'd tidy it up and share with the community. Background images are just from Google search, aspect-ratio-scaled down to 1280x800, good quality and compressed to their smallest file size without loss of any quality, with a logo in the bottom right. These backgrounds will show on the "nation" and "team" (main, u21, u20, u19, u18 etc) screens but not the "stadium" screen, so it's compatible with other stadium background packs. You obviously need to use a transparent skin to be able to view these in game. I will have this completed in the next few days. Couple of examples below: Links to my downloadable FM files: FM19: Managers Background Pack FM19: International Team Background Pack FM19: Competition Background Pack (Club & International) [FM19] - Long Team Names - English Leagues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinocasino Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi there, Thank, these look great - are you able to say which skin looks best to be able to see the backgrounds pretty well in game - and which one you are using? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinocasino Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 also when unzipping and extracting to the folder in my docs is the last option thats in bold for example NATION below so we need a folder called nation? 2a. Unzip and place here: ▸ Documents ▸ Sports Interactive ▸ Football Manager 2019 ▸ graphics ▸ backgrounds ▸ nation I hope this makes sense, thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
