"All-England", version 1.03 - Release Page @ FM-View
downloading path: download BOTH parts, unzip the packs, then place in: my documents/sports interactive/football manager/skins/(FOLDER OF SKIN YOU ARE USING)/graphics/backgrounds
Pack information: This version, which is the last version of the "All-England" series for FM 2011, contains 866 teams running from the Premier League, all the way through Level 10. It also includes a few teams below level 10, as well as defunct clubs that existed on FM2010 (if you are still playing that version). There's 220+ new teams included in this version, as well as many updates and replaced shots for teams in the EPL through League 2. The orignial release of this pack has been downloaded over 11,000 times in four months, and I intend that this pack wholly replace it. Combined with the first release, there is well over 700 hours of work into this.
Most of my releases are done in conjunction with partners, and while this is being released as by me only, there are many, many people who gave of their time on this update. The boys at FM-View always go above and beyond to help me, and this time was no exception. A massive thanks to JackHammer, Aird, kumquat_s, Dazs8, Troy, Cruyff14 - they have all contributed their time in tracking down UID's or some great shots. This work was make much, much more tolorable because of thier help. And then there's ChrisOrmie - who, quite simply, this pack would not exist without. He spent a lot of time basically doing the grunt work on UID's for Levels 9 & 10. Without Ormie, I would not have re-released the pack in full, but just put out an updated config.xml for my previous work. Thanks Ormie - this pack, and release, is because of you.
Config.xml editing: If you want just one of the options (MATCHDAYS or TEAM SCREENS) to work, go into the config file and delete what you don't want it to do. The config.xml files can be opened with NOTEPAD, the lines of code with "TEAM" in it are for team-page backgrounds, and the lines with "STADIUM" are for matchday backgrounds. Delete the ones you don't want. Don't delete anything else.
Credits: Obviously, this goes without saying, I owe a massive debt to the photographers of this pack, in particuliar - Matt Wilkinson, Andy Gallon, Jose De Corado and Niles Langborne - without them allowing me to use their copyrighted works this pack would not exist. You guys are the best in the business, and have turned me into a groundhopper. Folks, read this as a fair warning - there are many, many copyright protected shots in this work. Do not repost, or repackage this work without their consent (unless you get it from me - and feel free to ask). Any mistakes or issues in this pack are mine alone, as I am the one who made them.
