Thanks.

I might be wrong but I don't think you'll be able to extract them until the full game is released next friday.
BrizzleJordan
How come? Is that when the folder is available?

As I said I'm not certain but I think it's one of the things not included in the beta version of the game.

As with every year, we will be reviewing the current SI images as opposed the current MP images in due course and replacing them when necessary. Do keep in mind, however, that it is our policy that merely having the new kit does not necessarily mean that the image is an improvement. Although they have improved through the years, SI's images generally contain a lot of what we call snow, i.e. white pixels around the head. While these are not visible on the default skin, once a dark skin is released, they are very conspicuous and rather untidy. So unless the current image is poor or very old, we will not automatically add the new images. That said, everybody prefers having more recent images and we'll try to include a good chunk of them
As the FM13 resource archiver isn't out yet, I don't think you can extract the SI images, convert the file name from text to UID and replace the current MP images for the time being. You might want to try the FM12 archiver in the hope that it still works, which, according to somebody on the official forums, it still does.
Rowan made this video on how to use the Resource Archiver. The version he's using is for the FM09 (or FM10, I forget) but the functions are broadly similar. Extract the images you want to replace.
In previous games, SI would name their images as the player's name, and not the UID as is our practice. You will then need to use fmXML to convert the filenames to UIDs. You would then replace the images in the MP folder with these new images.

So I can have all the default faces from fm13 from the fm12 archive extractor?
jumberto
Extract that to the desktop, it will give you a folder called 'graphics' with everything default from the game inside.
For a temporary fix until the MP is updated you could move the faces folder from the default graphics folder (the path is 'graphics/pictures/players/normal' so just move the folder called 'normal' ) to your main faces folder.(Sports Interactive/FM13/graphics).
I think the game reads the folders in reverse alphabetical order so if you rename it z_faces or something then it should pick the default faces up before the megapack faces.
Let me know how you get on.
BrizzleJordan
Just remembered I can't do it as FM12 isn't installed on this laptop. I'll have to wait for the game to be officially released, will the graphics folder be available then to do it? Or the Resource Archiver

I expect you have to download fm 12 :/

Thanks for that jumberto. I never realised the FM2012 archive extractor would work on the FM2013 beta.
I don't think Mons has time to ID & check all these this year so (unless anyone else is interested

As you say, I don't think I'll have time this year to extract the FM13 default images, convert the filenames to UIDs and compare all of them to the current MP images. If anybody wants to assist SSP in this endeavour, then I suggest you PM him as I prefer it's discussed 'behind the scenes'.
Generally, a handful of images are not in our MP and I would suggest these are forwarded to me for inclusion into 5.01. I'd also suggest that any Championship clubs are dealt with first and foremost. I'd be able to help with the cleaning effort, fwiw.
What are the default SI images like this year? Loads of snow or improvements on the previous cutting attempts in other FMs?

But they aren't positioned very well, most being about 20 pixles away from the top of the box

FYI information Mons I've started wih the English teams as no doubt most people will be 'impatient' for some of these teams new cut-outs. Mullen is kindly doing Scotland. I'll definitely do Holland too as I've a lot of outstanding Dutch requests & can check those as I'm doing them (& hopefully remove a lot of the outstanding Dutch requests too).
That just leaves Denmark (282 cut-outs), Spain (157 cut-outs) & USA (286 cut-outs) to check. If anyone fancies doing any of them send me a pm & I'll send you the pack.

I seem to have checked all poor one so far

Further to this post Mullen has sent me the cut-outs from the demo & there are considerable differences between the cut-outs in the demo & the beta (both have Leagues/teams that the other one doesn't). I'm combining the two folders. However As well as Denmark (which has 280 cut-outs) & Spain (which now has 435 cut-outs) there are also Korean cut-outs (543 cut-outs). So if anyone fancies checking any of these let me know & I'll send them to you.

No I actually think they might be the only (non Premiere League) League team that SI haven't cut (I can't be certain as SI have cut a few non league teams too but they were the team that stood out as missing). If they had cut them I'd have sent them to you to check gary.

Cheers mate, my search since 08 continues

Actually there are (at least) 12 league teams without cut-outs. Barnet, Blackburn, Blackpool, Cheltenham, Chesterfield, Leeds, Leicester, Port Vale, (perhaps not surprisingly) Portsmouth, both Sheffield clubs & Torquay. SI have also included cut-outs for (at least) 28 non-league teams too. Whoever cut Maidenhead seems to have something against the team as some of the players have been scalped!
SI did add cut-outs for a couple more teams in the full game last year so maybe they will cut (at least) a couple of the missing 12 teams.

I noticed this too, likes of Notts Forest, though they have images in the game which can't seem to be extracted, Bradford, Macclesfield, Port Vale, Milan, New York, Espanyol, quite a few Spanish teams and MLS. Also Dunfermline. I noticed that my images for some players were not appearing when I added team packs to the game, Miku (uid 1502910) on loan at Celtic for example, a few players in my Scottish leagues. worked out that this was due to these config files, which are for FM12 not FM13.
By simply removing these images from the game file, all the missing players appeared. Hope this is of some help.
Matty Watkin
It was for teams like Leeds, Notts Forest, Burnley and several other clubs in the Football League.

Are these images available to be cleaned then? Just that I have a Forest game going and the Si images are driving me bonkers! Though not as much as lack of Hamilton Accies pics from "our usual source" but that's another issue altogether! lol
