I add a folder in the folder faces where is the megapack, with photos and a xml file but it doesn't work, i've kind of a fog and not the photo. Do you have any idea ?

I can't see this option in the preferences What tab is it under?

Hi guys!

I have a bit of an issue going on. I made a face for myself (GK), my brother (DRC), my dad (Manager) and my girlfriend (Physio). All faces worked except my girlfriend's. So I tried everything I could, but nothing worked. For some reason, I pressed "Clear Cache", thinking it may help. It didn't. Instead, it has cleared all the faces in the game. Is there a way to get them all to show up again or have I lost them all? The faces pack is still in my graphics folder.

Thanks!

Hi Mons,

Thank you for replying so quickly! I have done what you said. It hasn't brought the faces back. Also, the photo of my girlfriend was saved as .png and the ID number is identical to that in the config file... I had to add the new line as her ID wasn't in it already.

If you, or anyone else, has any other suggestions, I am open to them!

Can you upload a screenshot of your in-game preferences/interface?

I managed to sort it earlier. I reset the settings to default, then added the images as I did before and it corrected itself and added my girlfriend's picture. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

I have an identical problem as yours that just got solved.
I have added multiple new players and pics, with no problem at all, following Mons' suggestions.

The only "player" I have issues with now is another human manager, we play a network game.
I put his picture in the folder (it is a png), which was working fine in FM 2014, and verified the UID is correct 100% and still no luck.

Did the coding for player faces for human managers change or is there another reason for the face not showing up?

As I mentioned, I have added numerous player faces, so I know what I'm doing and supposed to do, but the network manager's face is simply not showing.

Cheers

There's another way of assigning manager faces.

Use the below code in a config file. In the second line from bottom:
Rename your image filename to me, or change "me" in the below code to the filename of the image of the network manager
Instead of "name surname" put the name and surname of the network manager
Instead of dd-mm put his day and month of birth.

That should work, I think...

<record>


	 
	<boolean id="preload" value="false"/>

	 
	<boolean id="amap" value="false"/>

	 
	 

	<list id="maps">
		<record from="me" to="graphics/pictures/person/name surname dd-mm/portrait"/>
	</list>
</record>

Thanks for the quick reply Mons, but that unfortunately didn't work either.
I created a new config file, exactly as you indicated and after that failed I entered the manager's code into the original config file as well, but also without result.
(I obviously also copied the newly named picture in the players folder as well, of course)

I cleared cache, reloaded cache etc. but seems I will just have to live without his ugly picture in the game LOL
It did work normally in FM 2014 with no issues at all, so something must have changed with network managers' coding I guess

Resolved in a different way.
As it was the human network manager I took control, added his picture through his login, and after that disconnected him from the game again.
Now it is showing at least, but you would think that there should be a simpler way................................

Hi, I'm having issues adding Jay Dasilvas and Martin Odegaards faces to FM15. Downloaded their cut-out images separatly from the sortitoutsi megapacks, since the megapack I have is 7.0 and I reeeally didn't want to go thru all the updates. I did, however, download the latest update hoping that the newest config would involve these guys, which it obviously didn't. SO I have tried both manually editing the config file using word pad AND the fmxml to create a whole new config - but without any results. The images are in .png-format and are named with their correct ID:s, triple checked, but for some freaking reason the game won't use the pictures. I have tried clearing and reloading the cache, and I have never experienced any problems with any other faces whatsoever. Help!

Here you go. As I said, tried modifying the config file both manually in Notepad as well as with the FmXML, this version is the one I made i with the latter. Thought about making a separate folder for just the two of them with their own config-file, do you think that would help?

Have you amended the in-game preferences as per the screenshot in the opening post of the technical support thread?

Yes, just create a png file with the person's UID as the filename, place it in a folder separate to the megapack and generate a config file for it with fmXML...

Yup. But I am pleased to announce that the problem solved itself. It turned out I forgot to clear the cache after creating the new config file with the FmXML, or atleast that did the trick!

Hi there,

I have a folder set up and got it working for my ios version of FM Touch 18, however need to add an additional 20 player pics that are not in the game. I have the pictures already saved as .png files from sortitoutsi but am struggling on firstly creating a new config file (using fm.XML) and then secondly, where to place the newly created folder (when it is done), with the config file and 20 pictures?
From reading on here, they can't go in the same graphics>faces places as that will affect the previously uploaded ones. Could I create a new folder within graphics called say persons / players?

Thanks in advance,

Stuart

If you know what you're doing, that should do the trick, yeah.

So just to clarify, a new config file will need to be created, rather than just a stand-alone folder within graphics called players (with the 20 extra players in)?

Thanks.

The config file is needed to map the images to the right person in-game. Otherwise they'll just sit there, unused.

P.S. the new images need to be in png format, as that's the only image type supported by the game.

mons yes thanks for that. The ones I have created are already in the correct 123456.png player format. The ones that I have got from a third party and work in-game seem to be in a .fmf format which is some sort of compressed format that I don't really know.

I think, not sure, that both formats could work in parallel. Best not to have them in the same folder though, to be safe.

I think, not sure, that both formats could work in parallel. Best not to have them in the same folder though, to be safe.

So I downloaded fmf.xml (which is easy to use) and created a Config file with the 20 or so new player pics. Places them in route documents>sports interactive>FM Touch 2018>normal>graphics and then a sub-folder called players.

I labelled the picture i.d.'s person_123456.png and with the newly created config file, copied over to iTunes and then followed by the skin again. Disconnected the iPad. Loaded up the game. Changed to a new skin. Saved it then quit the game and re-booted the iPad.

I had the one or so minute pause during load up that usually indicates cache changes but on going in and checking, the newly created pictures are not in the game.

I am wondering whether a) I have the player pictures named wrong (and they should in fact be 1234656.png only? or b) the folder name/and or root is wrong? Do you, or anyone else know what could be the cause of the failure?

Many thanks in advance,

Stuart
