stevemc Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Hi all, If I wanted to add a background for media screens, like this, what is the line of code I'd need? I thought it might be this, but it appears not: <record from="skysportsnews" to="graphics/pictures/media/261/background"/> Edited May 23, 2020 by stevemc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson156 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 They look fantastic. I don't know about a list of sources, but maybe there might be one on the FM Editor, if you search by competition/nation/continent maybe? Apart from that I am not 100% sure but I'll keep checking.

Watson156 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Does anybody know if we can change these logo's? I have tried changing the line in the config to icon but that hasn't changed it. Anybody else got an idea? EDIT: So I've been looking around on the resource archiver and I think I have found this panel. I dont know what I might be looking for in regards to changing the logo or even if its possible so maybe some clever cookie here can have a look at it and hopefully come up with a great idea to replace these logo's with real ones. press conference inbox panel.xml Edited May 24, 2020 by Watson156 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemc Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 I end up having to create most of my own backgrounds, as most decent backgrounds don't exist for media, and just the logo looks a meh.

stevemc Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) I've been working through some of these today, here's a few more examples, media sources are quite hard to track down as there is no real list you can work through in-game, the editor helped track a few down though, this might have to be something I organically update whilst I'm playing through my save: Here is what I've done so far (38, but some are duplicated/coded into multiple of the same medias), feel free to download and do whatever you wish with them http://www.mediafire.com/file/cx1md5yzk4nubrm/media_source.zip/file Edited May 24, 2020 by stevemc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemc Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 I’ve found about another 70 media sources so I’ll work though that group this week and release the latest files, hopefully by the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson156 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 So I've been having a look at what I think is the panel that controls the small logos that were looking to change. From what I understand, I don't think it will be possible to change the logo's for each individual media company. Like you said each different type of media source (magazine, radio, website etc) uses a generic background image. I would therefore imagine that if we put the sky sports logo for example as the default background for websites then it would show up for every website and not just sky sports. I'll upload the panel for websites that I was looking at, and maybe somebody can see a way in which we can incorporate having individual logos for each media source etc. object portrait picture news feed media source website.xml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemc Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 I've got a list of around 70 I'm working through this week, that will give about 100 completed.

The scrollbar is very short in the screenshot, and it would make little sense to try to add logos for Ruritania Football Bugle and the likes (unless a generic one for a range of IDs?). Depending on what expansion file it is, it might be one I contributed to several years ago. Though hopefully the file has been reworked since then, as many of the more obscure media sources I edited in have ceased to exist.

stevemc Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Right, I've done 94 backgrounds this week for media sources, all bookmakers are done, some radio stations in there too, just a mixed bag really. Now I've got an actual list, I can work though by country, probably won't get much done this weekend though. I've have the sortitoutsi Media Pack add on too.
