Right, I don't have FM2006, only FM2005, but I am preparing to buy FM2007 right now! A little early I know, but there you go.

I have a huge archive of background pictures and player pics and the like that I have used in FM2005 and CM4, and I'm getting them ready for transfer to the new game. Currently I have all my stuff in separate folders with XML files in each. My question is this - performance-wise, what is the best way to do my XML? Will the game process faster if there is one big XML file with all the files in one folder, or many smaller XML files to parse? Or is the difference negligible? Without any knowledge of the code, I don't really know, it could go either way.

Additionally, are there any ID similarities between the new DB and earlier ones? Or am I going to have to wait until the demo to get started? Or even the full game?

There shouldn't be any performance issues with adding your own backgrounds and stuff.

The IDs will be the same in FM 2007 so you can get started now.

Nice, I will get going on it then!
