Ok, ive created my 95x95 pic, saved it as a .png and now im looking to go to the config.xml in the settings to place the code that has to be put in, in. But when i click on it it (config.xml) a page on the interent loads up and i cant edit it.

Why?

Thanks.

Did that and put a picture of Freddy Guarin in and then saved it. However i then opened FM and found all the pictures were gone!

How can i add Guarin without losing all the other pics?

Do i need to re-type in EVERY single player on FM? If so how comes NONE of the pictures load up. Like the text etc.

Any help please people?

what I did was created my own photos, placed them in a seperate folder in the pictures directory.


Find the original XML doucument that is installed with the original player pictures. Open it with notepad, delete all the entries of names / player ID or just replace them with asterix or something, now you have a template of an photo xml file.

Follow so far?

find the id of the player you wish to assign the picture to, input this into the xml doc, put the exact name of the relevant player picture in the xml doc. Continue this until you have done all your photos.

then

"Save as "

save the file inside the folder where your created player pictures are, and call it config.xml ( remember you have to call it exactly that )

turn on player pictures in options, should work.


If you have already attempted and for some reason it doesn't work, I would recommend re-installing. Once uninstalled go and delete the player pictures folder, because this will remain.

you might find a program called fm xml handy. you can get it from cmnorge.com. There was a newer version than the one on there on susie, but i can't find it anywhere.

anyway, it's really easy to use. you name all your pictures with the id of the player they are for and put them in a folder. you then find that folder from fm xml and it generates all the xml for you.
