We recently had a black kit launched, i.e 2 weeks ago so was too late to be added to the game, because of our kits the game is always defaulting to yellow when we play and its awful.

Any ideas ?

Go into the editor and change it, though this wont affect any save games you have - you'll have to start a new game to see the new kit.

In FM05 i added a third kit via the config file in the kits folder (and added the pic)

Maybe easier if you cant run editor

That doesn't affect the ingame away kit (the team name and player dots will still be the orginal colour) and if they don't have a third kit to start with, they'll never use the kit.

The config files in the kits foler only control what kit icon appears in the overview panel, and has no affect upon the club colours.

Though there may be another way to edit kit colours without using the editor (though not sure if it affects save games).

go to the data\db where you install FM2006, go into the lnc\all folder (if you still have it) and either open one of the existing LNC files with notepad or create one (not sure if it matters which one) and add the following lines in:

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">"COLOUR_CHANGE"1160128200722552400"COLOUR_CHA NGE"1161255240012820072"COLOUR_CHANGE"116200025525 5255 </pre>

the first number "116" would be the teams unique ID.
The next number I'm assuming is the kit 0 - home, 1 -away 2 - third.
The next three numbers "128" "200" "72" will control the colour of the foreground(?) first number being amount of red, second amount of green and third amount of blue (values can go from 0 - 255, 0 0 0 - black, 255 255 255 - white)

The next three numbers "255" "240" "0" should then be the background colour (or the foreground colour if the other is the background).

To find the RGB values of the colour you want load up MS Paint (Or any paint program) goto colours edit colours - define custom colours, select the colour you want and remember the RGB colours in the bottom right and put them into the file in the corresponding places.

(May need confirmation from someone at SI if this is correct or will even work - I can not test as I don't have the full game yet).

I did it in the editor and it works fine, for some reason though we never seem to play in our away kit, always chosing the 3rd kit.

I've added it correctly in the .xml file, just strange why its not picking it up.

What colours the away kit? It may slightly clash with the teams your playing so you use the third kit

kinkladze10

The away is Blue and Yellow, and the home is Black and White but the home is classed as a side stripe.

It's defauting to the 3rd when ever we play a team in stripes I was suprised as we played a team in blue and white and went with the 3rd, not the obvious 1st kit ?

michaeltmurrayuk

The blue and yellow away kit is probarbly too close to the black and white home kit, so the game is picking the third kit, what kit do you wear when you play someone like Leeds who wear white?

Playing Leeds I wear blue. Its the stripes that always throw Derby's away kit out. Now just need to find a Derby_third kit somewhere on some site. Any clues?
