@Footygamer The updated faces aren't visible on the site yet

Ahead of the release of the FM23 beta, we're happy to announce the release of the 2023.00 base pack version of the most popular and largest FM facepack - the Cut-Out Faces Megapack.

For premium members, it is available as a one-click download directly from our servers, while it is also available as a free torrent download. Go here to see which one best suits your situation

Those who have kept up-to-date can download the 2023.00 update pack, you can download just the 2023.00 update pack, which contains 2,859 new and improved images.

For those who are having any issues to download and install it, please read the installation instruction in this thread, and read the installation instructions and FAQs carefully. If they don't help, post in there with some details on what your problem is, so that we may possibly assist you.

Anyone with knowledge of Fiorentina youngsters that can recognise these players? Goalkeeper Bertini is done now, there are probably some more without a current cut

@Cizzu @maxtod77 

@Footygamer dimensions are messed up again

Sorry some debugging left in from something else

@Footygamer Can the option to select a page here be added back or does it give problems with speed? It's a bit inconvenient now when trying to find my oldest sources, and sometimes you also need to check the cuts that someone has uploaded in the past

@BramNUFC  It did affect the performance. I twas unlimited and bots where crawling tens of thousands of pages deep which is just completely pointless load on the server.

Presumably there's a better way than having lots of pagination, such as sorting and filtering?

I wasn't aware people were using the page in that way, 

I'll add sorting and filtering to the do list, anyone other info about how you want to use the page would be helpful.

Would adding a first and last page help or would it not resolve the problem? Maybe a +10 pages or -10 pages too.

@Footygamer Also if you're on page 10 it doesn't give the option to move further back (I've got more than 10 pages of sources at the moment…)

https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/submissions/1/queue?page=10

Yes the max 10 pages is intentional as per above.

Again can you explain what it is you're trying to achieve and why you would want to be on page 11+?

It seems like being able to search by status and sorting should let you get whatever you need to appear on the first page, I can't understand why you would want to be on page 11, or 111 or 1,011.

But happy to accommodate if it can be explained what you're trying to achieve.

I linked the wrong page, meant this one https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/submissions/user/1094108?status=pending&type=source&page=10

There you can't filter, so I can't see my sources on page 11 and after

Sometimes you might just want to check what's the oldest pending you've requested, for example, to start cutting that one.

So I think this can be solved by letting you filter by user on the queue page 🙂

The FM23 database has been imported so the browsing section is now useable again

@Footygamer Small thing, but it's also showing the ‘Next' button when there aren't multiple pages available

The Queue page now has the ability to filter by user submitted by and any links to a user from the submissions will now take you to the queue page with that filter on instead of the old page you included in your screenshot, which is now removed completely.

It would be possible to let you filter by who a submission was assigned to or moderated by as well but I wanted to keep the form simple. Let me know if these would be helpful to add.

Frankly, I don't really think it's necessary.

@Footygamer Looks good, but I think now it's not possible anymore to easily move to a users actual profile page? With this previous screen you could do so by clicking on their name in the top left

That's needed for setting up warning and bans, also looking at past comments etc.

I appreciate that you needed to restrict access to a maximum of 10 pages due to bots, but we presently have no way of even knowing how many images in total are pending.

For example, I like to start cutting the oldest missing pending requests. As it stands, going 10 pages back only takes me to yesterday. Yes, I could go to the pending teampack request page, navigate to the last page and manually check each of the packs. But it's a right ballache, frankly.

Filtering by user on the queue page is a good workaround but it's important we retain some kind of functionality to allow us to find what we need much more efficiently. I wonder, would having a field to enter the page you want to go to within the current filer bypass the bots? Or having a drop-down menu of some kind to go beyond where we can go right now? Maybe having these functions only for staff members? 

but we presently have no way of even knowing how many images in total are pending.

The pending counts should be on this page still: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/submissions/1 it doesn't show counts for the packs which I think was specifically requested, but I could add that.

For example, I like to start cutting the oldest missing pending requests.

You can still sort by submitted and pending to get the oldest.

I have a recollection of trying to add a “missing” filter but can't remember, was this requested and I said it was too slow to lookup? Would you currently go through and use the icon to work out if it's missing or not?

I may just need my memory jogging on that.

Either way I generally think it would be better to improve the filtering options to let you get what you want on page 1 rather than allowing you to go to page 10, 20, 30, 40 or whatever.

Other than that we would could discuss an alternative max, the problem was the bots would go all the way to page 27,000 which I assume no human would ever do. Would 20 or 50 or 100 be reasonable? In my gut if a user is having to click “next” 100 times I still feel like there's something wrong that needs an alternative solution than pagination though.

@Footygamer 

(1) I can add counts of images within packs 

(2) Looks like the filter the recent activity page is bugged and is showing the filter from submissions i'll fix this and improve the filter for sorting

(3) I'll also look to add “missing active image” to submissions queue (may not be possible or be very slow).

(4) I feel like you missed the point on that last one. Presumably you agree there's no point being able to go to page 1300 and presumably also page 130, in my mind there should also be no reason to go to page 13, but you seem to think there is. This is the paradox of the heap where there must be some number where it's helpful to be able to go there but any further seems absurd. For now i've just switched it to show a max of 50 pages which still solves the major issue of not allowing bots to hit 10s of thousands of pages.

I've just changed the submissions dashboard page from this:

To this:

 

No doubt some people will be annoyed that the 214 is now hidden under an extra click and the 2960 sounds worse. But I figure it makes more sense right?

1. That'd be great - and you've beaten me to the bunch 🙂
2. Was it not intended to show submissions then?
3. Tbh the filters I've mentioned have the effect of showing missing active images, so there's little value added in taking some extra time and effort to create a specific filter for it.
4. Oh, I absolutely agree there isn't any point in going so far back. But as it stood, with so many requests having been made in the last few days, I couldn't even see what was requested the day before yesterday, which I'm sure you'll agree isn't ideal. Thing is, I can't really think of any filters 😢 Having 50 pages is plenty, though. I had no idea you were of such a philosophical bent, btw 😀

It's not such a big deal for me personally. If anything, it gives a truer picture of how many individual images are still pending, and may possibly motivate some users to cut images instead of requesting them 😉

I'm so so sorry guys, my PC broke in early September and I struggled to recover the password to the site. I did it just today…

No worries, download the FM23 beta and the cut-out faces update packs released since then, and enjoy 🙂

@Footygamer I think the site has missed off some of the new ID's from the Beta - I can't add images for them without them being on the site

The following are some examples that are in the game but not yet on the site…

2000229491 is Natasha Nolan, 2000229495 is Robert Lloyd, 2000228243 is Elliot Whiteside & 2000228238 is Sam May all are at Bournemouth as staff

2000226438 is Aimee Knight a physio at Blackpool

Update 2023.01 is now available for download. 

It contains a whopping 6,415 new or improved images and takes the total amount of cut-outs in the megapack to 381,337.

Given the deluge of images being requested, now is as good a time to remind everyone to make sure to follow the guidelines to uploading images. They are clearly set out on the same page where images are uploaded; and they're there to maintain the quality of the megapack and make cutters' lives easier.

I would also like to encourage requesters to give cutting a go themselves. There has never been an easier time to quickly and easily go from source to cut, and for free. Between remove.bg and photopea, the process can often take even less than a minute. There are several tutorials in this thread outlining the different guidelines we're looking for. If every requester cut 2 out of 5 images requested, the community would have 40% less requests and more cuts produced 😉

Hi @mons For a fresh start for FM 23 Is it enough for me to download these two? 2023.00 Torrent File and 2023.01 (193.09 MB)
