FM 10 Graphics Help

L'prof

Anybody running FM 10 on Windows 7? I've tried everything I've seen online to get the graphics showing up but, all I have at the moment is (I think) the team logos and player kits. Kits aren't showing up and competition names haven't changed (not sure if I have the pack for that one).

Anyway, just wondering if anyone does have it working, what folder do you have it in and what way is that folder laid out? Thanks.

Was just about to post this myself, can't get it working myself. I have them in a folder called "graphics" with two subfolders called "kits" and "logos" and neither work.:mad:

I think some of them work for me, just not all of them. Very annoying altogether as it was fairly straightforward in the last one!

I have the proper competition names up. Did you download anything for that specifically? There's a file you can get, don't have a link off hand, and you put it in the FM2010/data/updates/1020*/INC folder.

*depending on what patch you're using, 1000 for orginal


As for the logos/jerseys/competitions you need to go to documents-sports interactive-fm2010 and create a folder called 'Graphics'. Lob anything you have in there and it should work, depending on what you got and where from. Maybe list what you have/whats working,not working?

Make sure it's in My documents-Sports interactive-FM etc...


NOT in program files-sports interactive-FM.....

Check that.

I have all my graphics (4.9 GB) in here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics

They don't seem to be loading properly, I actually haven't downloaded something for the competition names, I'll have a look for that now.

That's it, I remember that from the last time now!

cashville

^ It's not meant to be in Program files (86) - Sports I - FM2010



Move it to My Documents - sports interactive - FM2010


If you go in and look you'll see there's different content in the 2 areas. It has to be in the My Documents part. Hope this helps lads.

Ye have it all right like that, have a few subfolders but even without them they don't seem to work. Have the boxes ticked and unticked in the preferences menu and all.

Really annoying me as it took 5 hours to download all the logos, granted I wasn't in my gaff when it was being done but still.:D

^ Oh you got the megapack did you. I didn't fancy downloading 3 gig or whatever it is, found smaller ones elsewhere. Sorry but I can't think of what else is wrong. Are there any leagues in particular you need or did you want everything? Maybe if we pick a league or 2 and try and get them working?

Ye 6080 crests or something like that.:D

Ye I might give that a try tomorrow night after work, you don't have a link to just download one leagues crests just to try it out and see if that works.

Ok I don't specifically remember where I got mine, but sure give these a lash.

Premiership logos

Kits
http://www.sortitoutsi.net/fm2010/downloads/graphics/kit_packs/25-premier_league_ss09.html

Put the logos into Documents-Sports Interactive-FM2010-Graphics-Logos

Put the kits into Documents-Sports Interactive-FM2010-Graphics-Pictures-Kits

Let me know how it goes.

Gavin "shels"

They work, weird.

*Off to download all them*:D

Try these, they worked for me:

Facepacks, Logos, Kits, Competition names

Gavin "shels"

Just done the Comp names (the little differences make a big difference) and just downloading the logos atm, fecking hour each, probably be waiting till tomorrow to do the kits but defo giving the logos a try tonight.:D

Big time, I hate the wrong names for competitions! Good luck with the files anyway...almost 5 GB altogether, I think!

Gavin "shels"

Right unzipped one of the 4 downloads of logos. It's address is:

Documents-Sports Interactive-FM2010-Graphics-Logos-FM10-graphics-pictures-logos-metallic logos fm10

Then there's 5 subfolders (Comps, Clubs, etc...)


Is this right because they still don't work?

Mine is: C:\Users\Jay\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\graphics

The sub folders shouldn't matter, mine are faces, flags, kits, logos.

Try going into Preferences -> Dispaly & Sound and press confirm (Use skin cache is unticked and Always reload... is ticked).

Apart from that try deleting the cache folder in: C:\Users\Jay\AppData\Roaming\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010

You may have to change settings to show hidden files and folders.

Gavin "shels"

They be working, must have just needed to reload the game.:D

Gavin "shels"

Only one of the files unzips for the logos.

I had a problem extracting a few of the images but, I was able to skip them...it wasn't many at all!

Had that myself, but only 1 of the 4 files will actually extract.

Ah, I see now. They were split using HJ-Split or something similar, so you need to join them up using this.

Gavin "shels"

Sound, trying something different and if that doesn't work I'll download that.

Gavin "shels"

FFS used that program and now the file won't open, this just isn't bound to be.:D

When you use it, you should have a .zip file as well as 4 .zip.001, etc files.

Think I got it working, well it's extracting something and it seems to be all 4.

Gavin "shels"

Ended up being corrupt, so deleted all the .001, .002, etc... files and just gonna download them again tomorrow after work. So will I download the 4 of them into one folder, and then use that program and it should make one?

Yeah, you'll have five files (one of them might be a folder) in that folder then. You don't need 4 of them once you've joined them up.

Grand job. For the input and output on that program will I just pick the first file as in .001?

For input use .001, output is just a folder that you want the output to be put in.

Cheers, hopefully I get it all sorted tomorrow (or tonight when I get home depending on alcohol levels:D). Cheers again.;)

Sound, no worries!

Used the program to combine .001, .002, etc... but the output isn't working.

I dunno, it worked for me. Maybe try getting the download somewhere else? What kind of file are you left with when you join up those?

ZIP Archive. You don't have any other links for kits, logos or facepacks (not torrents)?

No, sorry. Just try googling "Football manager graphics" and see what comes up.

Gavin "shels"

Right, I will have these logos and kits in the game before I go to bed.:D

Gavin "shels"

Logos sorted,
Facepack downloading,
Kits downloaded, but not fecking working,
Competition names sorted (after my editing of the some of the names).


Where does the facepack go?

L'prof

All my graphics are in the same folder:

Im running windows 7 and have had no problems with graphics-I think where most people are going wrong is the "Prefrences-->Display and sound-->Untick skin cache and tick always reload skin on confirm-You HAVE to do this once you have all your folders set up in the sports interactive folder.I think people should just concentrate on a logo,face and kit pack at the start because it is confusing when your doing loads ,dont bother with competition names,balls etc till later.Here is the best place to download fm 2010 files,graphics etc,you need to register,takes 2 mins:http://www.fm-base.co.uk/

Here is the best guide ive found for installing graphics etc:http://loswonderkids.com/community/topic/4253-how-do-you-install-football-manager-graphics/

If anyone is really stuck then PM me or leave a question on this thread or whatever.Remember two most important things are:

1-Create a folder called"graphics" in mydocuments/sportsinteractive/fm2010 and then in that folder create 3 more folders called "Logos,kits and faces" (download the face,logo and kits packs from fmbase)

2-Untick "skin cache" and tick "always reload skin on confirm" and then press confirm in prefrences-->Display and sound"

Got everything sorted, facepacks, kits, names and crests.:D
