just wondering if i can add a pic of myself in my managers profile once i have started a game

Yes, you can. You'll just need to write a config file using the unique id for your manager linking the picture into the game.

Here's a guide:

1. Trim picture to 95x95 and save as a PNG file.

2. Create a config file that includes this:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"><record><boolean id="preload" value="false"/><boolean id="amap" value="false"/><list id="maps"><record from="manager" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000002523/portrait"/></list></record> </pre>

Where 'manager' is the name of the picture and '2000002523' is the unique ID for your manager, check this in the game by turning the ID's on in the preferences. An easy way to do this is just to copy and existing config file and change the records.

3. Save the two files and put them somewhere like C

Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\graphics\pictures\players

4. Turn off skin cache and reload the skin.

Hi - erm... could you send me the email too mate?

I have always dreamed of having my face there on the screen !

Cheers if you can

Alternatively use the wizard mode when adding your manager and the game will give you an option to choose an image for your manager.

For anyone else that is having trouble creating a config file, here is one you can use.

config file

Just right click and choose 'edit', then replace the bits in capitals with the name of your picture and your unique id, then save it. The rest of the instructions I posted earlier should be simple.
