CONFIG (XML) FILES EXPLAINED.

Each type of background has to have the correct config file to get images to show in your game.
With Stadiums there are three variants of the said config file as follows....

<record from="10" to="graphics/pictures/team/10/background"/>
This will show pictures on team screens for example Squad screen, tactics.

<record from="10" to="graphics/pictures/club/10/background"/>
This will show pics on club screens for example Club Overview, Finances, Staff,

<record from="1000" to="graphics/pictures/stadium/1000/background"/>
This is the config needed to show stadiums (using stadium id numbers and not team) on Stadium Overview screens plus in 2D matches as a background.
These stadiums are available in a separate pack which I also have available here...
