Anon. Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi, Could someone please tell me (in a step-wise manner!) how to add my picture as a manager. Many thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerjnick Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 When you start a game cancel the wizard and you will see at the top right a drop down box and you can add a picture this way. If you use the wizard it skips the managers picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon. Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Cool, thanks for that, I best restart my game in that case! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.D Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 it's a great addition the Managers Photo. Only wish more were added in. Especially the current league you are managing in. Might have to update my graphics folder on my weekend off work ha ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoweel Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Cool, thanks for that, I best restart my game in that case! No need for that champ. Just have a look at your unique ID and make yourself a folder with picture and config file. Same as in FM08. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon. Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi, I've read through a lot of the threads on the forum, but I\'m struggling to understand how to upload pictures, etc. Any help, point me in the right direction. I understand how to create the 'graphics' folder etc. But i don't get the unique id stuff, config file, etc. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

homerjnick Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Above is the config.xml, put this in a folder called managers. Put that "managers" folder in your My Documents\Sports Interactive\Graphics\Pictures folder. Then edit the line: <record from="me" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394643508/portrait"/> and change "me" to the name of your picture that you have for yourself and then change "1394643508" to your own unique number. To find out your unique number, turn unique ID's on in Preferences. Once you have change the line to reflect the name of your managers picture (copy the pic into the "managers folder") AND you have have changed your unique ID then reload your skin with no cache and you will have a picture against your profile. You can also delete the rest of the managers pictures lines in the config.xml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poil Brun Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It doesn't work for me... Here is the folder I used: C:\Documents and Settings\Franck Leonardo\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\graphics\pictures Here are the three files I have in there: config.xml Franck.png Isabelle.png And here is the content of my config.xml file: <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="Franck" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394656647/portrait"/> </list> </record> Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, if anything Edit: I know I only have a line for one of the two pictures, but even just that one does not work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I can see the reason why it does not work. Rename your pictures with no capital letters and update the line in the config file to reflect this. Let me know if it works now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
