Hi guys. I have used the editor to create a club, its players, staff etc etc. I've gotten everything to work wonderfully APART from the club logo I have created. I can't for the life of me get the game to use this logo for the club. I have adjusted the logo to the adequate sizes in the normal, small and huge logo folders for the league I have put my club into. I have also edited the config XML file in each of the club logo folders, linking the pictures in the folders to the new team I have created. I can't see anything i've over looked in the process, but surely there must be a solution. Can anybody offer some advice please?

yeah. im having the exact same problem and ive scoured pretty much the entire forums for a answere to this problem. i created a team on the editor then created a badge using AAA logos, edited in photoshop, saved in png formats and i believe, the proper size i.e 120x120 or 22x22 for small. ive did what most people have said concerning "place the files at graphics/pictures/logos" e.t.c ive even tried putting them in fm2007/my documents folders. tried the skin cache and random skin reload but to no avail and i created xml files for them. have no ideas what is going on so if any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

just reinstalled and wiped my game then patched it upto 7.0.2, put the logos into CDocuments and Settings\William\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\graphics\pictures\logos then the 3 categories of huge/normal and small. the badge sizes are 120x120(huge) 70x70(normal) and 20x18(small). my xml reads (for normal size club badge and gfcb is the name of the png badge pic):

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

<!-- don't preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

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

<!-- picture 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">
<!-- Generated by FM Graphics Configurator, by HMan -->
<record from="gfcb" to="graphics/pictures/club/1031638/logo"/>
</list>
</record>

ive unticked skin cache and ticked rebuild, is there a problem with the code/command lines by any chance? or size of club badge? the face packs that i installed in my graphics section of the same mydocuments source showed up but the logos have not. if anybody could help me out id greatly appreciate it!

please can somebody help me out with this???

retired_jimbode72

well, ive finally figured it out. for anybody intrested, if your trying to put badge and kits onto a edited team, you'll need to create a graphics folder within the the db folder of your "my documents/sports interactive" directory. this is the exact code i used for logos: <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="gfcb" to="graphics/pictures/club/1031638/logo/huge"/>
<record from="gfcc" to="graphics/pictures/club/1031638/logo"/>
<record from="gfca" to="graphics/pictures/club/1031638/icon"/>

</list>
</record>

hope it helps anybody!

How do you create and save an XML file wllm?

Also is it that source code you written what you put into the XML?

retired_jimbode72

just open up notepad, paste the relevant code in, go to save as, call it config but add .xml at the end of it so it should look like config.xml make sure it is saved as all files rather than text document, click save then your sorted! or you can use a fm xml configurator, very handy and easy to use or if your making logos just copy the code that i wrote down on this page. if youve got any problems just give me a buzz and i'll try and help!

and the code above your post is the working code i used! youd just need to make minor adjustments to it concerning picture names and and the games unique id number.
