See if you can uninstall that - it's the Chinese download. Try downloading again from one of the links I provided up the thread.

You don't need to use FMM, which could mess up your save, to change kit colours. A simple *.lnc file will do fine.

Thanks for that link.

But I dont understand it!

I dont suppose that you could do it for me could you?

If you can, then can you change the colours for me please?

If so then please ask for any details that you will need.

Thanks

It is not so difficult. Here is the example given at the link (paste it to your Notepad):

<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">"COLOUR_CHANGE" 680 0 255 174 215 128 0 255</pre>

680 - the Man U ID
0 - the first choise kit (1 is away kit and 2 third kit)
255 174 215 - RGB for the foreground colour
128 0 255 - RGB for the background colour


You said you have the colours, so edit the RGBs and team ID and save the edited code to (if you are using the official 802 DB):

Football Manager 08\data\updates\update-802\db\802\lnc\all

You can give it any name you want as long as the extention is .lnc (that is LNC). For example team_x_colour_change.lnc.


Reload your save and the changes should be visible.

Its an edited team, does that matter?

Oh, and how do I know what colours are what?

BTW - I am using 8.0.2, but it is editted, thats what I meant.

In case of an edited DB the lnc -file should be placed into the \lnc\all folder of that particular DB.

Colour codes can be found in graphics editors, or for example where you can define custom colours for kits in the pre game editor. RGB - red, green and blue. You could also search the web for an RGB colour chart or something.

One drawback actually with using this method to change colours is that the kits will be of "plain" style. If that is a problem, it is of course possible to attach .png kits to the team.

I have sorted this out

"COLOUR_CHANGE" 5100186 0 255 255 0 0 0 255
"COLOUR_CHANGE" 5100186 1 255 0 0 0 0 0
"COLOUR_CHANGE" 5100186 2 255 255 255 0 0 205

The database is called 'New Club', so what would I do?

Im still a bit confused!

Cheers
