I know i must have done something wrong....

Well I have created a graphics folder and so it went like this

CDocuments and Settings\Mohamed Ramzy\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\Graphics

Got a picture for example for Andrea Pirlo and made it go PNG

created the Congig File like this

<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->

<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

<!-- logo mappings -->
<!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions
in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any
place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics
files from the correct places-->

<list id="maps">

<record from="<Andrea Pirlo.png>" to="graphics/pictures/<person>/<703963>/<portrait>"/>

</list>
</record>

Pkaced the congig and the picture in the directory Graphics. but it still won't work.....

Tell me guys what did i do wrong.

Is the problem too many <> (sorry don't know what they're called!)

you have:

<record from="<Andrea Pirlo.png>" to="graphics/pictures/<person>/<703963>/<portrait>"/>

try changing to:

<record from="Andrea Pirlo" to="graphics/pictures/person/703963/portrait"/>

Ramzinho

Well Here exactly what i have done...

I made a graphics folder and created players folder inside it where i placed the picture there.

here is the path
CDocuments and Settings\Mohamed Ramzy\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\Graphics\Players

Now i have created a Config File. with this record.

<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->

<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

<!-- logo mappings -->
<!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions
in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any
place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics
files from the correct places-->

<list id="maps">

<record from="Andrea Pirlo" to="graphics/pictures/person/703963/portrait"/>

</list>
</record>

And i unticked the use skin cach in the prefrences..

the picture size is 220x220

didn't work now..

What should i fix.

Not sure why it's not working.
Obvious things to check:

The player picture filename should be Andrea Pirlo.png (with a space)

and saved in:

CDocuments and Settings\Mohamed Ramzy\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\Graphics\Players

The config file should be in the same location and called config.xml

Options>Preferences

Use Skin Cache - leave unticked
Always reload skin on confirm - tick

Click confirm

The only other thing may be a problem with the player picture. Try downloading a jpeg file, re-sizing to 190x190 and then saving in png format.

Ramzinho

Where should the config.xml is saved.

CDocuments and Settings\Mohamed Ramzy\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\Graphics\Players

(same location as the player picture)
