ftg87 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 IIRC, you can't do it using the wizard this year, you need to use advanced mode and the option is in the top right, I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinGoodey Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Related question - having done that when I started my game, I recently downloaded some facepacks and loaded them in, and now my personal pic has become the default "no pic" - anyone know how I get my pic back in?

Les Girondins Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 That's one way of doing it .. Here's how I do it: Download and install Notepad ++. 99% of the problems with this process come about when people use regular NotePad or worse, Word to make the *.xml file. For some reason Notepad doesnt make it executable and Word is just evil and wrong .. :thup: Open NotePad++ and paste this into a new blank document: <record> <boolean id="preload" value="false"/> <boolean id="amap" value="false"/> <list id="maps"> <record from="X" to="graphics/pictures/person/666/portrait"/> </list> </record> Now get the pic you want to use. Ideally it will be a PNG. But JPEG is fine .. Rename it to something allinlowercasewithnonumbersorfilenameextension e.g. mymanager Save it. Now go back to the NotePad++ window and put in the name were X is. All in lower case, no spaces etc. Do not put the file extension in e.g. mymanager.jpeg. Just 'mymanager'. You've already found your manager's ID number, just substitute that for 666. Go to File > Save As > In the Save As Type, find Extensible Markup Language in the drop down menu. This will create a document called mymanager.xml on your Desktop (ideally). Now put this, along with your photo in your User Data\graphics\managers directory if you relocated it to somewhere other than the default path. If you haven't got a graphics or managers sub directory already, just create a new folder/s Where User Data is the path to your folder on your HDD. e.g. E:\User Data\graphics\managers Now put your mymanager.xml and the image file (mymanager.jpeg or mymanager.png etc) into this folder. Load up FM, go into preferences, make sure you have the use skin cache box unticked. Confirm. Wait for it to reload the skin, go to your manager profile and enjoy! If all of this is too much for you, post a link to the image you want to use and I will send you a ZIP ready to extract into the User Data\graphics\managers folder. For reference, here is my file: <record> <boolean id="preload" value="false"/> <boolean id="amap" value="false"/> <list id="maps"> <record from="patrick" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394720260/portrait"/> </list> </record> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Les Girondins, that is basically the same way as mine isn't it? The only difference is you explained it better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
