Not a lot has changed with the way to add custom content in FM 2008. The config system is still the same with the only difference being that these have to be put in the My Documents area or you may experience problems with the game not displaying correctly.
Now, onto the most important part that you are all probably eager to find out. What new stuff can we do?
Well, for kit makers, you can now add kit backs and goalkeeper kit backs to your game (see them on the tactics screen)
When doing a config file for 'standard' logos it's best to duplicate each line for huge logos as they support the same graphic sizes rather than duplicating the graphics.
Player Pictures
<record from="FILENAME" to="graphics/pictures/person/UNIQUE_ID/portrait"/>
Standard player picture sizes are 180x180
Any questions then fire away. Actions will be released at some point but they are not ready yet and it won't be today.
Is there a way to switch off 130x130 resize for kits? I have a huge collection of my own kits in a 97x77 format which look utterly ***** when resized .
I added some Premiership kits in graphics/pictures/ in the FM folder in My Documents but they don't appear in game for some reason. What am I doing wrong?
Are all graphics still png's for FM08? Wouldn't it be better to use vector images for kits and logos for scaling purposes? No loss of clarity and only one file would be needed (rather than small, normal, huge, background etc and scaling could probably be automated for the required purpose as that is what the game is doing now).
Obviously this wouldn't be ideal for player pictures. Just a question (rather than a suggestion) as none of the scaling would blur at all and the need for less files of the same things in different sizes? I'm not sure how practical it would be though.
Ter mentioned in a thread that one image file that FM had to resize all the time would make the game slower... So more imagefiles = faster game (because of loading and rescaling times)
one thing I have noticed - when putting in the large and small logos using the old XML from 07 - we get the top left logos (on the sqaud screens) showing ok - but when viewing logos in the news items - we get the generic non-logo shields
What do we need to do to stop those shields showing and getting the proper logos to show?
