[FM22] Kit Selection Updates

[Junkhead]

I make this file for my own personal use every version, thought I would share.

What does it do?

- The main feature of the file is to avoid home/away kit clashes within the default database that result in the home side having to wear a change kit.  This happens often (usually 3-4 times per division) due to, for example, white clashing with certain shades of yellow, clashes between blues & blacks, greens & blues, etc.  My method of resolving these clashes follows the below pattern;

1- Download as many kit packs as possible & ensure that the colours in the database match the kit colours in the pack.  Often just a slight RGB adjustment can stop clashes.

2- Add any third kits which are visible in the kit pack but do not show in the game as the club doesn't have a third kit activated. 

These two steps avoid most clashes within the database.  If the clash cannot be avoided with these options, I will;

3- Using google, wiki, clubs websites, football kit websites etc, search to see if the club has a third kit which is neither in the kit pack nor the default database.

4- If step 3 doesn't resolve, I will look at clubs away kits from last season & add those as a third kit.  This is something that does happen at lower levels.

5- As an absolute last resort, I will add a kit myself taking into account historical colours worn, colours featured on the club badge, stadium seat colour, etc to avoid clashes.

- Where relevant, the "club colours" which show in the title bar are updated to match kit adjustments

 

Example;

In the below example, the purple colour which the home team normally wear for their league fixture against PSS clashes with all of the kits which PSS have set in the database.  The default shade of purple can just be seen below the pink shirt.  This means that the home team would be playing at home in their "away" kit.

A slight change to the RGB settings changes the shade of purple very slightly and results in the home team wearing it's "home" strip, as below;

 

All in all, the file currently has over 8,500 changes.  I will likely update it from time to time too,  As it stands, it covers the following leagues;

There are a few fixtures which I was unable to resolve due to the clubs concerned simply having three accurate kits already in the database, or the shades simply being too similar.  I opted not to comprimise the realism kit packs provide just to resolve this handfull of fixtures across multiple leagues.  That list is below;

Spoiler

Udinese vs Torino
Udinese vs Salernitana
Duisburg vs Saarbrucken
Monopoli vs Avelino
Rakow vs Bruk Bet
Maritimo vs Tondela
Inverness vs Kilmarnock
QOTS vs Kilmarnock
Falkirk vs Queens Park
Yantra Gabrovo vs Ludogorets 2

I hope a few find this useful, as I said, if I'm making the file anyway, why not share?!

If anyone notices anything I've missed, or has any corrections to submit, please give me a shout.

Full credit to @Mons for the majority of changes in this file in Brazil which were used as a base for my edits rather than the colours pre-set in the database.
