Hi folks :-)

Could you please add Enes Sali from Farul Constanta ( Romania )?

1. We have a submissions forum for cutouts here that you should use instead: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/submissions/1 
2. Enes Sali isn't in the FM22 database (he was too young when the game was released), and the cutouts megapack only caters for people in the default FM databases. If you want to have a cutout of him for yourself to use with custom databases, you can use remove.bg. Otherwise, you'll have to be patient and wait for FM23 when he'll presumably be included.

Okay thanks

Same thing as Moukoko one or two years ago, I see

@Footygamer I think it used to show the amount of images/files for every update here as well, can that be brought back?

I was trying to keep it simple since another user was discussing being confused. Is it just that it's nice to be able to look at the progress made?

Yeah that's also a reason. And for example here a user is stating they only have a certain amount of images in their pack, it makes it a bit easier if that if those numbers are displayed on the download page as well. I don't think it would make it look more complicated

Well they're on this page which you have to visit before visiting the download page, which I assumed is enough.

I'll look at it again, I can't remember why I got rid of it, I think it was just to save space.

We can probably do this automatically. If there's any other things like this please let me know!

Would be nice, but then we do have to ask people to always upload these type images with the URL? That won't work for packs unfortunately

Yeah there's no way to do it if they save it to their computer first.

Update pack 22.14 is now available for download, containing 6,217 new or improved cut-outs.

It takes the total megapack image count to 375,650 cut-outs.

@Footygamer I think you said it should be possible to upload files over 100 MB, is that also for this section? Because I still get an error message

No it I didn't implement it for the collections page. Is this a common need?

It's not a daily need, but if you're requesting a pack of high resolution images, you sometimes have to split them up. For example now I have a photoshoot of 30 images that are each around 8-10 MB, so I'd have to upload them in like 4 parts.

Would it not be better to crop them down first? Assuming they're 4000px plus, just cropping the head or resizing to something that ensures the face is still 300px+ would make it load faster for everyone.

Sure, but then it's more efficient to turn it into a game-ready cut right away, as you already have it opened in an editing program.

Well I was assuming resizing took 1 second and doing a full cut would take minutes 😅

I've made a change which should allow larger files now

Just a small note on future plans.

The plan is for a further, slightly smaller than usual, update pack for the FM22 megapack to be released in the next ten days to two weeks. With the release date for FM23 having been confirmed to be 8 November, the FM23 cut-out base megapack will be made available around mid-October for people to be in a position to download it ahead of the beta version of the game being released around 2 weeks before the full release.

While I'd like to thank the many contributors to this pack, particularly our small team of fantastic and dedicated cutters, it would be great if the community could focus on getting as many pending images cut before the release of the FM23 base pack, especially those which are still missing. There are slightly over 1,300 pending images, some of which have been there for a few months now. The community has done some great work in whittling the list of pending packs down, and I am personally prioritising images which are either missing or clear improvements due to a change in hairstyle or because the current cut is in 180x180 or very old. It's to be expected to have new season photoshoots at this time of year tbh, but I really see little point in cutting whole teampacks where many players have had high-quality virtually identical cuts produced quite recently.

@Footygamer Are you experimenting with the face sizes in the browsing section or is it a bug? I think these big ones do look nicer actually

Update pack 2022.15 is now available for download, containing 3,217 new or improved cut-outs.

It takes the total megapack image count to 376,916 cut-outs.

As announced previously, this is the final update pack for FM22, and now we start looking forward to FM23 and the 2023 cut-out faces base pack, which we aim to have available in around mid-October 🙂

Mohammed Abdul-Wahab (23088979) has the same face and iconface as Jasim Al-Salama (64048960), thus Mohammed Abdul-Wahab face &and iconface are wrong. I haven't been able to find a proper picture for this guy though, looks like there isn't any.

The previous cut for him seems to be the correct one, and will be put back into the megapack 👍

No experimenting was done. It may have been a bug with our CDN provider once again.

Next time can you check the URLs that the images are coming from and share them as well.

It's still showing on some teams (I haven't cleared cache since then so that might be why)

Can you check if you get different sizes from these 2 url's? The first shows up as 250x250 for me

It's 100x100 for me. It's definitely an issue with our CDN but i'll try and get it sorted.

Just a heads-up to all cutters that I intend to upload the 2023 base megapack at some point next weekend, so all of you who have images being worked on might wish to keep this in mind so that they are added to it. 2023.01 will follow shortly after the beta is released anyway, so if you don't manage it, it's very far from the end of the world 😉

Tagging @Belajariman and @DarkNaples in view of the fact that some of their WIP packs are from a fair few weeks back now 🙂

I'd also like to ask cutters to focus on missing images at this time if at all possible, or at least on improvements to very old or poor images, rather than updating a person whose previous cut was a very similar one from just a few months back.

Good man Mons, just getting all my files ready for 8th Nov, hopefully the skins don’t change too much so I can drop Flut in early like last year, get rid of the hideous purple

i'am sorry @mons, i'am just busy in real life…

Fair enough, don't take on more than you can deal with. I just wanted to give a heads-up in case you wanted to have them ready in time for the 2023.00 base pack. If not, no worries 🙂

@Footygamer Messi has a new face so the main logo can be updated
