Need a bit of help with adding player pics

[mkdons4eva]

Hello all. Im new to football manager as i have always played fifa.

Anyway, got the game, and was a bit disappointed to find no player pics or club badges for alot of clubs.

Anyway, its been a bit tricky but im getting there. I went into Program files - Sports interactive - Football manager 11.

I didnt have a Graphics folder in there, so i opened up the Data folder, and made a graphics folder, then inside the graphics folder, made a folder called facepacks.

Then i downloaded and random facepack, a liverpool 1. Pasted the contents into the Facepacks folder and started a new game. Bit of a shock, all images had been removed from the game. No badges or player pics for any team. So, i went back into the data folder, and i had a file in there called "graphics.fmf" and thought opps, maybe i should have put that into the new facepack folder i had created.

Did that, started a new game and up pics were back and the liverpool players now had there pictures showing. However, there wernt any sponsors on the shirts of any of the championship, league 1 or league 2 teams. So obviously iv still done something wrong.

Inside the data folder, i have the following files:

ads.fmf
advisors.fmf
classes.fmf
comps.fmf
credits.fmf
fonts.fmf
help.fmf
hints.fmf
localised.fmf
media.fmf
panels.fmf
screens.fmf
sections.fmf
settings.fmf
shortcuts.fmf
skins.fmf
templates.fmf

Right, my guess, is that inside the graphics folder i have created, i should create a new folder within that, called for example Media, and then place the Media.fmf inside that? But im really unsure. If i had some fmf files called "club badges" or "club sponsors" then id have an idea.

Anyway, i hope there is someone out there that understands what i mean.

Thank you

graphics folder goes in my documents mate, nothing should ever really go into programme files except sound packs and stuff

and don't create a folder in data just create it in the main FM folder.

This should help
In a shorter way - In User(Name)/Documents, there should be two Sports Interactive folders: one's the games files and other for graphics.
In the folder without the game files, make a folder named 'graphics' if you don't have one. Then inside 'graphics' make three folders: faces, kits and logos. Where to put your files should really be obvious.
Hope this helps
