With the old FM games, I believe it was possible by modifying some config.xlm file.

I didn’t check it out for FM 2008.

But that FaceGen program is great.

Mimland,

I found it.

Make sure to mark the unique ID in your Option screen.

Now, retrieve YOUR unique ID.

Go to:

"CDocuments and Settings\YOUR NAME\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\graphics\players\THE COUNTRY OF THE CLUB\THE CLUB" directory.

By instance:

CDocuments and Settings\Mimland\My documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\graphics\players\Belgium\Antwerp

Probably you don't have a country\club directory in that case create one.

Now put the JPEG with your picture in that map.

Rename the JPEG to your own Unique ID inside FM2800

Your almost done...

Now add in the same directory the following XML file:

<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">
<!-- Auto generated by fmXML -->
<record from="xxx" to="graphics/pictures/person/xxx/portrait"/>

</list>
</record>

Replace the xxx with your own Unique ID

Create this file in notepad and save it as "config.xml"

Now, go back to FM28000 and...

Go to options : Graphics , mark "Reload Skin" option and unmark "Skin Cache" option and save settings.

Et voila...

If someones knows a shorter cut...
