stevedaytona Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 How do you add a photo to a Manager Profile? I know you can do it when starting a new game but how do you do it in an existing game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby_McDonald Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Mmmm... my account there has been suspended. Can somebody please copy and paste it here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 What have you been doing to get your account suspended Nobby? :confused: Just a minute and I will paste it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Actually, you know what? I'm getting the same message. It's not that your account has been suspended. It's that the wiki account has been suspended for some reason. I better check out what's going on over at the FM Wiki thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 This is what you need to put into an XML file. Use notepad to copy and paste, then change the details as required. Save as 'config.xml' in your user directory under a folder called 'graphics' (make this folder if you don't already have it). Ensure that you also place your picture/photograph in this folder and change the bit below where it says 'filename' (the filename must be in lower case and do not include the extension). For example, my filename might be 'crouchaldinho'. <record> <!-- resource manager options --> <!-- dont preload anything in this folder --> <boolean id="preload" value="false"/> <!-- turn off auto mapping --> <boolean id="amap" value="false"/> <!-- logo mappings --> <!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics files from the correct places --> <list id="maps"> <record from="filename" to="graphics/pictures/person/crouchy crouchaldinho 12-12/portrait"/> </list> </record> In the above example, note that crouchy crouchaldinho is the first name and last name of the manager and 12-12 is the day-month of his birthdate. So, you would replace this with 'nobby mcdonald' and then your the day and month of your birth. (Again, pretty sure that it needs to be all lower case). You'll need to reload the skin before you load your save game, just as you would if you were adding and graphics packs or skins etc. Is that clear? I hope so.

Hopefully that link will be up and working again soon. I just checked with the Wiki guys and they are working on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 About as clear as mud Crouchy. It looks rather technical to me!Thanks anyway. Ah, sorry about that. I haven't explained it as clearly as the Wiki guys do on their website. You can cut and paste can't you? And make a new folder and that kind of thing? Well, if you tell me: 1) the name of the file (i.e. your manager photograph file) 2) the name of your manager plus his birth date Then I will post up the code. You then simply have to copy and paste into a notepad file and save it into a 'graphics' directory in your FM user folder, along with your manager picture. How does that sound Nobby? Even you ought to be able to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myros2 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Also you can use the unique ID number to add a manager picture. (Turn on 'show unique ID' under prefrences to see it, you can then turn it off again.) Then create the xml file as before with the following code: <record> <!-- resource manager options --> <!-- dont preload anything in this folder --> <boolean id="preload" value="false"/> <!-- turn off auto mapping --> <boolean id="amap" value="false"/> <!-- logo mappings --> <!-- the following XML maps pictures inside this folder into other positions in the resource system, which allows this folder to be dropped into any place in the graphics folder and still have the game pick up the graphics files from the correct places --> <list id="maps"> <record from="1394670790" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394670790/portrait"/> </list> </record> Substitute the number in my file above with your own manager ID number, and the name of the image file (I just use my ID number as the picture name).
