Football Manager Graphics

[niallsparky]

Okay, the Facepack superpack beta version is finally here. Samples here. (http://s190.photobucket.com/albums/z6/Niallsparky/)

The "betapack" features players and staff from all 22 Eircom League clubs and Kildare County. The pack is alligned with the 9.2 SI patch so the latest transfers will not be included. An updated version will be brought out towards the end of February.

The main function of this pack is so that I can get some reactions and bug reports from all of you so that when I release the main version it should be good to go. Any suggestions on improved player pictures are also welcome.

Problems to report:

Spelling mistakes
Incorrect national flag
Wrong picture (aka the "Michael Funston problem")
Pictures not appearing in-game


You download the file and extract it (using winrar/IZArc) to the location MyDocuments>Sports Interactive>Football Manager 2009>Graphics. (If there is no graphics folder then just create one.)

So here is the link, enjoy: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CUR3RQEO

Should I remove the individual club facepacks before putting in this superpack?

Should I remove the individual club facepacks before putting in this superpack?

Yes, I would advise so.

This update includes all individual Premier Divsion packs as released along with the extra First Divison ones. The next update will include all transfers and perhaps better images so you're best off removing the previous content.

Nah you don't. Just extract them into the sports interactive graphics folder, go into your saved game, go to preferences, display and sound and tick the always reload skin on confirm or something like that and that should be you sorted.

You can get logos, kits etc. from www.fmglive.com, just have a wee look around there and you'll come across the LOI ones.

Problems identified so far:

Images:
• There is a pic of Alan McNally instead of Evan McMillan.

Nations:
• Matt Gregg is English
• Darren Meenan has represented NI at U21 so maybe he should have that flag by his pic?


Anyone have any others to report?
