A new Albion kit i made for my Football Manager game (sad, I know)

[Fatboy Quim]

so just downloaded some kit designer programme and had a little play around. Ended up making a new home and away kit for the Albion and sticking them into my game.

I was well chuffed with them but am curious as to what other Albion fans think about my first foray into fashion....

Nice effort. Like the retro away. Not over keen on the red on the home strip though, feels a bit too Pompey

Looking at the home kit.... it would actually be comical if we really were sponsored by TESCO.

good efforts the seagulls logo looks like its on steroids

 

[shaolinpunk]

Make the red stripes blue and the little red logo white and you've got something there. Any reason you decided against putting the Brighton & Hove Jobs sponsor logo on the shirt?

 

[Fatboy Quim]

better....





didn't use Brighton Jobs as I don't find it a particularly interesting sponsor - was making some with the Skint logo but preferred the look with the AMEX one

What program is it? I've just been fiddling around with photoshop but it takes FOREVER and is super fiddly. Doesn't come out even 5% as good as those either.

got addicted to this! am into the next season and here is the new kit i've just made us!!

What do you reckon? -i'm pretty happy with it.

Plus, anyone else done any - would be good to get a collection of custom Albion kits that people could just put into their game if they want

I would absolutely love to have an adidas originals made shirt. It would be amazing and would immediately be the coolest shirt in the world.

 

[Fatboy Quim]

agree completely

Can we get a green away kit? Was it rumoured to have back or white stripes?

Nice. Would prefer the blue/white swapped though so more of the sponsor merges into the white if that makes sense!

 

[Shooting Star]

[MENTION=10641]brightonrock[/MENTION] Nice kits, hoping the home kit is exactly that!

[MENTION=3408]Fatboy Quim[/MENTION] Those kits are sensational, so wish we could have that.

 

[Fatboy Quim]

haha - those are the exact new kits right? you obviously knew something we didn't

edit - in fact just seen the timing of the post!! Pretty sure that will be the new kit though. Very nice but agree wiht turkey - swap the blue and white

1 - can you use these in an already saved game?
2 - if so, can I have the file please?

If that was indeed our home strip that would be absolutely bloody brilliant. Best set of kits we've had in a long time!

yes you can use these in an already saved game - do you already have some custom kits or do you use only the ones that came with the game?

I'm no expert, but depending on the answer to the above question i should be able to get these kits into your game

You can, but it's a bit fiddly (easy if you know how). The image itself will show on the main information tab of the club's details, but in the match engine it will still show the old red/black version unless you go into the editor first and change the Brighton away kit. Unfortunately this means you'll have to start a new game.

If you're fine with doing that I can make it easier (if a bit of a wall of text) by showing you a simpler way than downloading stuff.

1. These 2 are PNG files which is the format the game uses (the first ones I uploaded were larger JPEGs). Save them as brighton_1 for the home kit and brighton_2 for the away.
2. Go to your FM folder in your documents - i.e. C:\Users\your name\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\ and create an empty folder called graphics. Go into it and create a sub-folder called kits. Save your two PNG files here.
3. This is the wall of text bit. Open up notepad and copy/paste the following text in. Save it in the same folder as config.

<record>
<!-- resource manager options -->

<!-- dont preload anything in this folder -->
<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

<!-- turn off auto mapping -->
<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

<!-- logo 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">
<!-- Auto generated by fmXML -->
<record from="brighton_2" to="graphics/pictures/team/618/kits/away"/>
<record from="brighton_1" to="graphics/pictures/team/618/kits/home"/>
</list>
</record>

4. Go into the game and go into your preferences. Make sure you've unticked 'use skin cache' and ticked 'always reload kits on return' on the Graphics tab. Hit confirm and when the screen reloads (this shouldn't take more than 20 or 30 seconds) it should show in-game.

Let me know if it doesn't work, I'll see if I can work out anything obvious that might be going wrong.
