So i downloaded the massive facepack and installed it - works fine, so no issue there. However i go back into my team (Reading) and the faces are terrible as they are years out of date so my team now look like spotty teens.

Question is, i would like to install images for those that don't have one but to keep the one's that have come with the game too?

Possible? (if so, easy way?) - or at least let me know where the default pics are stored and i'll take them out and replace in my graphics folder etc.

Thanks and keep up the great work

Why not just find the player's UIDs where you'd prefer the in-game pictures, and then remove them from the facepack config that you downloaded?

Have a look at this thread which explains how to extract the default SI images and why it's not as easy as you think it is to add them to our megapack.

Having said that, I'll make sure we have a look at SI's Reading images and add/correct those which are better than the megapack images

Ah cool thanks mate....

I didn't realise it wasn't as simple as dragging and dropping the images from the SI folder to the megapack one

It's not quite that easy. First you have to extract them using the resource archiver, then you have to rename them - since the SI images filename has the person name while ours has the UID.

You've basically explained why we can't and don't use the SI images unless specifically flagged in cases like this...

Cheers, mate.

If there's other particular team or teams whose SI images you think are completely superior to ours', then I'd have no problems in "cleaning" them and adding them to the megapack.

Having had a quick look at the SI Reading images, I think some of them will certainly be included in the next update pack.

If I were you, I'd hold off doing the manual ID changing thingy I refer to above as I hope to have the next update pack out early next week and it will include those Reading images

After having to take a few months off FM i've come back and have re-downloaded the facebook with updates. a HUGE thank you for including the Reading players mate - really appreciate it.

Quick question, if i am to find another player who i want the SI image of - would i simply extract the image and then rename it to the player ID that you use in your folder?

Basically, yes.

If you feel the MP image is particularly poor when compared to SI's, I'd appreciate if you could let us know so we can update or clean it for everybody else too

I'm sure it won't be but if I do spot anything I'll let you know

Thanks
