same problem for me.

i´ve already tried in skins, graphics, backgrounds directories but nothing works. help would be appreciated

Mr_Science

not sure why people aren't getting this to work..only seems a few people aren't.

1. extract the zipped file.
2. move the folder to....

CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\data\graphics\backgrounds


so within the backgrounds folder is the superpack folder of pictures...with it's own config file within it.


putting it here means it doesn't matter which skin you use as it loads missing configs from the main Graphics folder rather than the skin's graphics folder.

in preferences tick the 're-load skin on confirm'.....then click confirm.....


REMEMBER - if you have detail level on none, the pics only seem to work for your matches or matches in your league....clicking on matches of other teams in other competitions may not always show the pic.....

PLUS - don't forget the BUG that is the 'in/out' process of looking at other matches - on first viewing the pic wont be there....on second viewing of match result screen it will be......BUG BUG BUG

Mr_Science

The links page now includes the 'Club Superpack' which is a pack of nearly 400 background pictures that ONLY show for squad/news/tactics etc NOT for Match-days....which is what the STADIUM Pack does...

Hey Beefster first of all kutgw, your two packs are amazing. But i have one question, right now i'm playing with Newport and they have a picture in your "Club superpack" but not in your "Stadium pack". So why don't you use the picture from "Club" in "Stadium" (and/or the otherway around) till you get another one or a better one. I've tried myself with changing the config file, but i don't get it to work.

Mr_Science

I guess Newports Club ID and Stadium ID are different if it doesn't show after you've mapped it.....I have checked it.

not all 'club's have a pic in the stadium pack and vice versa.

use the editor to find the stadium and map that picture.

Great Work Beefster. The Club logo pack contains mostly very nice pictures of grounds, stadiums etc. but as you mentioned there are also wallpapers etc. included. They don't look very nice in the game.

Is it possible to replace those with stadium photo's.

For Example:

-Ajax Amsterdam
-Lyon
-PSG

Would be great.

Yes it is, I did with Ajax. Took a picture of their site and copied it into map and it showed up.

Beefster thanks for the help, didn't think of that the club and stadium don't have the same ID.

Okay. So what I have to do to get the missing stadiums / grounds in the "Club Superpack" to work on the information / tactics / squad screens is:

-Make a copy of the stadium that is included in the "Stadium Superpack" for matchdays;
-Search for the ID that belongs to this team in the DB for the "Club Superpack" and name it that way;
-Replace the picture in the "Club Superpack"

By the way: are you still working on a improved club superpack yourself for the future?

You are almost there. The only thing you still have to do is updating the config file with correct content. After this it should work, well it did for me.
