Is it possible at all, even if its a bit of hard work, to replace the instances when a players facepack appears with the players graphical octagon overview thingy (not sure what its real name is).

So basically when you view a players profile its got all the attributes on the right, and on the left along with nationality dob etc there's the octagon in the space where the player picture would be.

And in news items rather than a players picture appearing, the octagon overview of his attributes appears in the little box on the right.

I'm guessing its either a case of copying one line of code which displays the octagon, or copying across a large amount of code which grabs all the stats, adds them up and works out how length of the various points.

The second of which would obviously be alot more complicated

Cheers to anyone that would help, I know facepacks are generally quite popular so most people won't like the idea or won't have thought about it, but I think alot of people would be in favour of being able to see a quick overview of a player in the quick overview box in news items, rather than his face, which doesn't really offer anything really, just a bit of an aesthetic gimmick in all honesty.

i like this idea!

Yeh I'd like this in some form. I seem to recall downloading a skin for FM2007 which incorporated the attributes & octagon onto one page. Can't for the life of me remember what it was called though! Any skin makers fancy giving it a shot?

You could probably incorporate the attribute analyser in there somewhere, but I don't think you can have it displaying when there is no player picture.

I wasn't necessarily saying "only show when there is no player picture", rather instead of the picture everytime, so the picture never appears.

Putting in some kind of IF statement would be far to complicated, and probably even impossible, with the limited access we get to the game via xml.

Could you offer some insight into how the analyzer, appears? I can obviously see "player profile attribute analyser.xml" (I presume its roughly the same in 08 as in 07), but where is this then called in order to display in the profile?
