radestock Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It appears there is an issue where even when a config file appears correct custom kits for certain teams don't show (for example Portsmouth's home shirt, England international kits). Very simple fix to get things sorted: 1. Open the config.xml file that controls the missing kits. 2. Edit the entry for the missing kit by adding "/2008" to the end of the line. For example, Portsmouth's home kit entry would change from: <record from="pompey_home" to="graphics/pictures/team/699/kits/home"/> to <record from="pompey_home" to="graphics/pictures/team/699/kits/home/2008"/> 3. Reload skin without skin cache ticked. That should sort things out. Obviously is you're having issues then check the config file is right first and if a team still isn't working apply this fix Radestock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 And if 2008 doesn't try 2009 or 2010 etc (For some reason FC United's third kit only wroks with 2010 added). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave byrd Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 hmmm still not working for me. The pompey kits are fine it's just the England kits that don't show. Tried this fix, still not working.. England home and away, Israel home and away, Andorra home and away and Spain home shirt all do not show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 You need to add the year to the end of the config file, it also appears that it needs to be updated each season (or just add a list of years to the config file instead of having to change it each season) e.g. I'm in season 2014/15 changing the config to: <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2014"/> Displays the kits for me.

radestock Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Like was said you can easily add a load of entries to the config file, so just bung in for example: <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2008"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2009"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2010"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2011"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2012"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2013"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2014"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2015"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2016"/> <record from="england1" to="graphics/pictures/team/765/kits/home/2017"/> That'll get you through 10 years game time, 20 seconds work is hardly a pain though I'll admit they need to kick some researchers up the backside for causing this problem with the way they've updated the DB. As for fixing it, remember we're just mods so don't know what's happening with the game. We have the same tools to contact SI as any other user does.

radestock Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 It's not really something that's a bug as much as the researchers have entered kit information into the database wrongly. I know SI are aware of the issue (I know that Ter knows it exists). It's not really a killer bug though (ie users can fix it) and I'm sure it'll get sorted but it is disappointing that there are so many little easily fixable niggles this year with skinning (white text issue etc).

michaeltmurrayuk Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It appears to be down to the way that certain researchers have entered the kits into the database, more info from Ter here As it's a database issue any fix likely won't apply to existing save games.

crouchaldinho Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've created a home kit and an away kit for my St. Albans City team but I'm having some problems making the away kit work on the 3D screen. It is showing up on the club information screen; however, when I test this on the 3D match engine, the 'away' team are coming up in the default kit and not my created kit. Can anyone tell me if this has anything to do with this business about adding the year to the config file? It seems unlikely to me due to the fact that I can see the kit on the club info screen. I'd be ever so grateful for any assistance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radestock Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 If it's working on the team info screen then it won't be this issue. 2D Kits don't show on the match screen by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks for your reply radestock. That's what I thought. The kit shows up on the club info screen but doesn't seem to want to work in the 3D representation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4ciek Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 and they won't! The problem applies not only to English national team. It affects many others like Spanish national team or Arminia Bielefeld or Portsmouth FC etc. There are 2 solutions to this: one with adding the year in xml files (no new game needed, but everytime a year has to be added to xml), the second is the change or the kits in pre-game editor, it is ok, if you change 1 colour to a different one and revert it. Then save DB and start a new game with this DB. The problem will be solved, let's say forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly85 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 im having this problem with Wrexham their ID is 741 n i have this in my file.... <record> <!-- resource manager options --> <!-- don't preload anything in this folder --> <boolean id="preload" value="false"/> <!-- turn off auto mapping --> <boolean id="amap" value="false"/> <!-- picture 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="7411" to="graphics/pictures/team/741/kits/home"/> <record from="7412" to="graphics/pictures/team/741/kits/away"/> </list> </record> but it wont work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Try adding the year to the file as the above examples. (to be on the safe side add the year you are in the year before and the year after). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Is it 2D or 3D kits you are trying to add? If its 2D kits have you applied the 2D fix from this thread: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=63488 If its 3D kits you are adding your config file needs to look like this: Home Kit <record from="FILE_NAME" to="graphics/pictures/team/UNIQUE_ID/kit_textures/home"/> Away Kit <record from="FILE_NAME" to="graphics/pictures/team/UNIQUE_ID/kit_textures/away"/> Third Kt <record from="FILE_NAME" to="graphics/pictures/team/UNIQUE_ID/kit_textures/third"/> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dz47 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 right click on the XML file and select 'open with' and 'notepad' or 'xml editor'. This will then open a version of the XML file that you can then edit and save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
