This tool will autonomously replace the NewGen's within your save game with faces from the sortitoutsi facepack - it will do so based on Nationality and Ethnicity.

(For nations such as England, France, US and Australia where there are sometimes darker skin tones which do not have a secondary nationality indicating they should have a darker skin tone - and vice versa there will be some minor errors where the incorrect photo is allocated ~2% of the time - you can just manually update these if they are in your team or a rival team and become too obvious)

It is very dependent on you following the steps below, so please follow them carefully and in order

Readme - NewGen Replacement Tool

*** THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON WINDOWS COMPUTERS. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
*** YOU WILL REQUIRE MICROSOFT EXCEL TO USE THIS TOOL. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MS EXCEL, THIS WILL NOT WORK, THERE ARE NO WORK AROUNDS.
*** THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH ONE SAVE AT A TIME, IF YOU WISH TO USE IT FOR MORE THAN ONE SAVE, PLEASE CREATE FOLDERS OUTSIDE OF YOUR FM20 FOLDER FOR EACH OF YOUR SAVE GAMES AND COPY & PASTE THE CORRESPONDING REGEN REPLACEMENT FOLDER TO THIS FOLDER. WHEN LOADING THAT SAVE, PLEASE CUT THE FOLDER BACK INTO YOUR GRAPHICS FOLDER, ENSURING YOU HAVE MOVED THE CURRENT FOLDER OUT TO A SAVE GAME FOLDER.

1. Install the free version of GenieScout: https://www.fmscout.com/a-fm-genie-scout-20.html
- If you have an older version of FM, please install the relevant version for your year
2. Install fmXML: https://www.fmscout.com/a-fmXML-for-windows.html
3. Download NewGen Replacement Tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d6-mgoXTMA6qxAEGwSpUW3Mtoam5ye4T/view?usp=sharing
4. Unzip the zip file into your FM Graphics folder (where you place any other facepacks, kits, icons etc.)
5. Move the "Genie's.glf" file to your GenieScout layouts folder (C:\FM Genie Scout 20\Layouts\) replace the current one
6. Open Football Manager and enter your save
7. Open GenieScout and load the game
8. The fields visible should be "Name", "Nation", "Unique ID"
9. Filter for Regens using the Player Filter tool
10.Extract the list as a CSV
11.If you have added faces to the folders provided, please open "Samaroy's Rename Replacement Images.xlsm" and run it, it will take 15 mins to complete but is required before using the Replacement Tool.
12.Open Samaroy's NewGen Replacement Tool.xlsm
13.Press "Step 1" to recreate folder limits - this step is essential if you have added photos and performed step 11.
14.Press "Step 2" to select the extracted csv you created in step 10. Selecting another file may corrupt the tool and you will need to delete the entire thing and re-unzip it
15.Press "Step 3" - this will fill your regen replacement folder with regens - the naming of this folder is crucial, if you change it, it will not work.
16.Run fmXML, select the Regen Replacement folder, select all filenames are IDs, then hit "GO!"
17.Re-enter Football Manager, clear cache, reload skin - done

When updating this for a new batch of NewGens - repeat steps 6 to 17.

Sorry I think I know the issue.

Let me send you an updated excel file that should fix this.

Youll have to delete the current one.

Thanke my friend......I have deleted all previous comments to tidy up the thread

To be clear in the instructions.....Part 11....is that only if you have added new faces or is it essential to do before Part 12

I've fixed it - it should now be "Regen Replacements"

Thanks for testing it - will re-upload the entire tool with this fix now.

Let me know how it looks in game and if you find anymore errors.

First time building a tool like this. Thanks for the feedback

Getting this error message:

It could have something to do with I'm having 70 000+ regens.

Should have mentioned it can't handle more than around 30k regens at a time.

In step 9. Try filtering and downloading a CSV of regens that are 16 and 17

Then do 18 and 19

Then do 20 and 21

and so on.

It will still work this way, just take slightly longer.

Sorry for the inconvenience - please try the solution in the above message and let me know how it goes

My save only had 32k regens and I didn't encounter this issue

@krissmed also - once you have got the 70k done for your current save. Just download a CSV with Regens under 18 each year to capture the new youth intake. Sorry - hope this helps!

Yes, that worked, thanks. Although I encountered another issue when running step 15:
https://i.ibb.co/fM9RJP9/Skjermbilde.png
FYI, I have placed FM 20 documents folder on another disk, so it's not in the usual C:\Users\User\Documents path.

Try changing the name of the folder as I did in above post.....that worked for me

(I have done it .....the issue was the name you gave to the regen replacements folder......it should be.... Samaroy's regen replacements)

If you downloaded the version I upload 90 mins ago then this would likely be caused by either the Regen Replacement folder not being where it should be - or there's a different error...

Can you show me your graphics folder?

I may have to edit it to not choose folders automatically but rather allow the user to choose their destination folder.

Let me know if the above doesn't work and I'll upload an update tomorrow.

Yep used a few but prioritised the default facepack as it was more easy to sort (using the game)

I have been in touch with the guys behind that pack and we have discussed potentially using my sorted folders to help train the AI in the different ethnicities

Hi! Awesome idea!

Unfortunately, it does not work for me. I am getting "Error 9" (Runtime Error)

https://i.ibb.co/Z6Qr2V7/Anmerkung-2020-06-12-181735.png

I am getting the same error on both tools! So it must be quite a fundamental thing.

Any help?

Cheers!

Have you moved any of the excel files? Renamed any of the folders? Anything like that?

That's an error that will pop up if it can't find something it should be able to find. Given its with both files, potentially one of the folders
