Football Manager 2008

Ah hold on, he's only set them to "stadium", not "team".

So you would have to play a French team (away if you're an English team) to see them in the background. You could start a new game and just "holiday" to a friendly game between a French team (with an included stadium), to make sure that they're working.

Or you could edit the config files yourself; you just duplicate all of those lines with the team names in, and change "stadium" to "team".

Like this:

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

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

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


	<list id="maps">
                <!-- ligue 1 teams -->
	  <record from="ajaccio" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/3500150/background"/>
                <record from="amiens" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/6200321/background"/>

Nope. If you're having problems follow the cache deleting instructions above. If that doesn't work then I really can't explain it...

You would have to edit the config file. Open it in Notepad, keep every line that has the word "stadium" in it, for example:


But delete every line that has the word "team" in it, for example:

Good news is the 08/09 Weegie Update should be out by now...

Bad news is that the site has been hammered, you can't get onto it. :(
 
Anyone had any joy getting the Weegie update?

I have been trying to log onto the site with no joy :((
 
The guy who makes it posted this on the SI forums:

dear all

anyone trying to download the final weegie update from the forum, the forum seems to have crashed due to the number of people waiting for it, i need to go to work so ill get it up around half 9

(p.s. mods sorry to post this here but most people who cant get it will probably look here to see if anyone has asked why the forum doesnt work)

cheers

No offence to the guy but you'd think he would have had the sense to upload it somewhere and post the link around, knowing that the forums would go down.

For some reason though he doesn't let anyone give direct links to the download, only to the thread, just so people have to sign up to the forums.

Really though, that just forces too many people onto the crappy servers and makes them crash like it has done today - it's pointless doing something like that because people just sign up quickly, download the patch, sod off and then only return when the next one is released anyway...
 
Yeah but they like to keep it exclusive to that site don't they. I've got an up to date file but it's not quite as good as Weegie so I might just carry on with that.
 
They recommend a couple of alternatives on the SI Forums but I've only held off playing until now for the Weegie update. I'm going to stick Tiger Woods in for a bit (not in a gay way) and wait it out.
 
And where is it going to be hosted? I've downloaded a few of his updates but I don't remember where from. Hopefully it's not from his servers or we might be here all night.

CB help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also its only Derby that don't show there ground for some reason does it work on yours?
 
Not played at Derby's ground yet but the background picture works fine, so if Derby are still at that stadium, it should work fine.

It's a complicated thing, I've downloaded some things before that I couldn't get working, and I know people who've downloaded my stuff before and couldn't get it working.
