How-To for the computer slow... ;-)

1. Get a picture og yourself.
2. Open Photoshop.
3. Open the picture of yourself.
4. Open a picture of a player already in the game.
5. Cut the picture of yourself to exactly match the other picture, including pixel ratio.
6. Save the picture of yourself as a .png file in a folder already including player pictures. (fm2007/data/graphics/pictures/players/normal...)
7. Close Photoshop.
8. Open FM2007.
9. Go to preferences.
10. Go to Display & Sound.
11. Tick "Show Unique Ids".
12. Click "Confirm".
13. Open your saved game.
14. Open the profile of your created self.
15. Just below your player name you'll see the unique ID, write it down.
16. Open the folder containing the picture of yourself.
17. Right click on the "config" file, open in word pad.
18. Copy one of the lines looking like this: "<record from="brown" to="graphics/pictures/person/926037/portrait"/>"
19. Paste the copied line next to the others.
20. Change "brown" to the filename of the picture of yourself, without the .png.
21. Change "926037" to the unique ID of the player you wroted down earlier.
22. Save the word pad file.
23. Go to FM2007.
24. Go to preferences.
25. Go to "Display & Sound".
26. Untick "Use Skin Cache".
27. Tick "Always Reload Skin On Confirm".
28. Click "Confirm"
29. Wait for the images to load.
30. And you're good to go.
