Hey everyone

I visited sortitoutsi and got logos for Premiership teams as well as the latest kits as RAR files

I remember in FM2006 you could go into program files/sports interactive/graphics/kits ... whatever it was and you could find all the Championship, League 1 kits in folders

I assumed I could just add the Prem kits into a Prem folder on FM2008 and it would work

Obviously not!

Firstly FM2008 doesn't even have these folders. Secondly, my theory on reflection was pretty stupid

How do I get these RAR files into FM2008 for kits and logos and so on

Your help would be grately appreciated!

Wrong place should
You go to start/mycomputer/'YOUR'Documents/SportsInteractive/FM08
Then just make a new folder and call it graphics,When your have extracted your kits etc from the rar just put them in the graphics folder you just created.

Then in game go to prefences reload skin on confirm and there you go it should work.

I see.

So basically the RAR files have already been named correctly to ensure that they appear in game for the clubs that they were intended to be provided for. Is that right?

If so I'll try that this eve. That should work on an existing save too?

So I can carry on with my game safe in the knowledge all the logos are there?!

Yes they will have a config file with them, Which will ensure they go to where they are intended.
Yes you can use them for your saved game, just go in game to options/ prefences /displayandsound then untick use skin chache and tick always reload on confirm.

Then click confirm and they will be on the game.

One thing I thought of

While the kits are headed 07/08, the badges are still for FM2007.

Will this make a difference of would SI have kept things the same?

JJ

depends if SI kept the team ID's the same....

Aaarrrggghhh!!!

I've followed the instructions I think. New folder created and called graphics. Have added it to the correct place. Files added and then nothing.

When you say extract from RAR what does that mean?

I had them saved as RAR files but now they say Paint Shop Pro or Paint documents or whatever depending on what art programme is default. Is this what is preventing it?

I am having the greatest save ever and to have the proper badges and stuff would top it off.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE guys can someone explain where I am going wrong!

Thanks
