FM 09 Graphics Thread

[Woo]

Now then puny weaklings, I shall save you doing a hell of a lot of hard work to get all the fancy logo's and whatnot. Download the file I finally managed to upload off here; MEGAUPLOAD - Woo's FM Graphics (the file size is 650MB so it may take a while).

 

You will need winrar to extract the file. Once the file is downloaded, you want to extract the file to;

 

Your username > Documents (or my documents for those on XP) > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2009 > graphics

 

NB: If there is not a graphics file in the Football Manager 2009 folder in My Documents, simply create one.

 

So once you have the graphics folder sorted out, then extract the file you download into there.

 

This may take a couple of minutes as there are hundreds of thousands of files being copied over.

 

Once you have done this, when you open your graphics file, it should look something like this;

 

 

Once you have done this, you now need to alter some of the preferences on FM so you can see everything. Simply load up FM, and click on preferences (you can do this whilst playing a game, but you may have to close FM then start it up again to see all the graphics).

 

When you click on preferences, go to 'display and sound'. Now, there are 3 things you need to change.

 

1) Untick the 'Use Skin Cache' box (right side of the page near the top)

2) Tick the 'Always Reload Skin On Confirm' box (just below the use skin cache box)

3) Tick the 'Show Background Pictures' box (right side, middle of the page).

 

Once you have done these things, your preferences should look something like this;

 

 

Then click confirm. Now if you cant see them, just close the game and start it up again, and all should be working.

 

Any problems, post on here and I will try and help you out.

 

Whenever I download more graphics, I will post them in here for you to download.

 

Enjoy lads.

 

Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year

 

Your FM Guru

PS: Don't worry, this is fully legal to do.

Good work, young'un. Any idea if this should work the same on my super-awsome-o mac?

It does work for the mac Owen yes, but the method may be a little different. Although looking on the SI forums, it appears the method is very similar, but as I have never used a mac I can't be 100%.

 

Here is the thread that tells you how to do it; How to add graphics (PC & Mac)

[Owen]

There's no reason I can't do what you've put up there for PC, so I'll try that first. If not, I'll go find my SI password. Cheers.

Repped, when the opportunity arises. I am downloading it as we speak.

[Guest simon]

Good guide Woo, i got a decent pack off the dugout a few weeks ago, if anyones installed tactics etc then it is a piece of piss.

[Woo]

[Woo]

No worries lads, just wanted to make sure those who needed it knew I had done it.

[RedinSweden]

I will download it too Woo.

 

I haven't got FM2009 mind.

[Ian Sea]

I downloaded the graphics yesterday, it makes a massive difference in my opinion. Cheers for sorting that Woo, it must have taken you ages!

[Woo]

No problem mate, glad to be of service.

[dave u]

Bumped for Red Knight

[RedKnight]

Nice one, Dave.

[gaz181]

What is this 'Winrar' you speak of?

Is it easy to attain?

How does one go about using said device?

[dave u]

This didn't work for me as it was a windows file and I'm using a mac.

 

Someone throw me a frickin bone here

[Joe Le Taxi]

I already have logo's so do I have to delete the old ones before downloading this?

[gatnick]

I already have logo's so do I have to delete the old ones before downloading this?

 

Quick answer yes.

 

Move the old ones to another folder first because you might want to revert back to them.

 

Woo any chance of seeing a few screen shots of what the badges look like?

[Joe Le Taxi]

Woo can I see a screnshot of these. Are they just logo's or do you have facepacks?

[Joe Le Taxi]

I got my FM back after it went weird so thanks for these graphics Woo.

[RyanLFC]

You are a fucking genius. Miles better with these graphics on. Nice one.
