I hope this is allowed and in the correct place, usually I don't need graphics help but today I do

 

So my main face pack is DF11 and also have the full cutout faces but some of the faces I have in cutout don't appear in DF11 so I use cutout for those missing images

I've used fmXML to create the 2 separate configs

DF11 only has the 230k faces in that folder while cutout has the 470k faces ( so 2 different configs, one with half the faces and the other with ALL )

 

So reloading all my graphics with those 2 configs but they only load the cutout faces ( I have it set it's DF11 first and then cutout ) ONLY and that fixes the missing players I was having

But I was wanting it to load DF11 first as it should but doesn't unless I use the cutout config but then the missing faces go missing again

Now other than just merging all faces and overwriting the cutout pack with DF11 I'm not sure what else to do to fix this

 

I hope this makes sense and you understand what I'm trying to do

The game reads folders in alphabetical order, so you should rename title the folders in alphabetical order, with the ones that you want shown as a priority being top of the list.

 

 

This is what mine looks like, with priority given to cutouts, then df11 etc

I should have mentioned that, I have DF11 listed first , even if I use the XML to create a new config with just the images in that folder it loads the Cutout pack instead as it it's skipping DF11 entirely

In fairness, I delete the df11 faces which have a cut, so it doesn't really make a difference. Might be the other way round πŸ˜…

 

Try adding a z at the start of the second folder's name, and see if that works instead.

 

If it doesn't, can you attach the df11 config file?

Somehow I managed to fix it, I downloaded the latest DF11 update and put that config back into my DF11 folder and that sorted it out, I know have both packs working together

For some reason I think I was using the fmXML tool wrong ? or the config just wasn't working

He is not in the default database. That UID is of a player added via editor data files, which cannot be added to the megapack since his UID will vary from career to career, depending on the editor data files used by the respective user.

 

I imagine he's been cut somewhere in this thread, if you want to add him via the steps shown here.

Hi everyone, Firstly, I understand this forum is mainly focused on the Sortitoutsi Face Cutout Megapack, and I truly appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. I wasn’t sure where else to ask this, so I hope it’s okay to post here. If not, please feel free to direct me to a better place.

I'm trying to add a custom cutout face for a regen player in Football Manager 2024, but it's not showing in the game β€” even though I've followed all the steps correctly.

Here's what I did:

  1. I have the regen's UID: 2002129049.
  2. I created a PNG image (256x256) and named it exactly 2002129049.png.
  3. I placed the image in the correct folder:
    Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\graphics\faces\customface
  4. I created a config.xml file using FMXML.
  5. I cleared the cache and reloaded the skin in preferences (also tried restarting the game).

Face cutouts for real players work perfectly β€” only the regen's face is not showing.

I’ve also tested adding the r- prefix (e.g. r-2002129049.png and in the XML), but that didn’t work either.

Is there something different or broken about assigning custom faces to regens in FM24 right now?
Or do regen UIDs behave differently?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks πŸ™

Moved this to here.

 

You should add the r- prefix to the UID here 

 

but not necessarily in the png filename, however.

From your screenshots, there's no β€œr-” in the entry in the config.xml file… 

 

Following steps is good, but it's better to understand the reason behind each step. The point is to assign the picture to the player's ID, and his ID is β€œr-2002129049”, not β€œ2002129049”. 

 

Also, simply have a look at others' config.xml files as a reference, better than making guesses here and there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNmKMar2ogQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhuVzb_7PZY&t=148s 

 

Anyway, it should look like: 

<record from="DEN213" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002182662/portrait"/> 

<record from="Asian/Asian1916" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002116770/portrait"/>

Just wanted to say a big thank you β€” the issue is now resolved from this method!

I really appreciate the help and guidance. Special thanks as well to mons and PoorJack for sharing a similar method that helped me get it working.

Thanks again, everyone! 😊

Hi, I have a somewhat random question about cutout faces, specifically about the retired people in the standard game without mods. Right now there's a couple thousand of these people in the database, and I understand why there's no cutouts of them; their IDs don't show up unless you check these in the editor data and you'd only see said cutouts if they're linked (or if you link them) to awards or check club or team records, but most of these retired players already have former cutouts from before they retired so i was just wondering if there's any plan to include these in the megapack or if anyone was planning on making a accompanying retired faces pack? I don't know of course if the faces included should be recent or feature a cutout from their glory days should this ever happen.

I genuinely have no idea exactly what people you're referring to πŸ˜•

 

If they're in the default database and they have a UID, then we can add a cut for them in the megapack.

Who are those guys? If you want to upload cuts for people in the DB, this is the place. If they're not in the DB, you can upload them here with their names.

 

However, those cuts aren't good. Please, read the rules

@yaal, this doesn't merit a new thread, so I'm merging it into an existing thread. Please follow what Lebohang Mokoena told you above if you want to contribute more cuts πŸ‘

When I create an RTF file for FMZ tools it tells me that the RTF file is invalid, I realized that the ID's were not in the RTF file which is probably why it's invalid. Any help to fix this will be appreciated

Save his image with the UID he has in your save game, and use the steps in this thread to create a config file just for him. I'd recommend doing so in a folder separate to the megapack, to be sure you don't ruin the megapack's config file.

Thanks! But it still won't change anything, I've created i new folder just for him in β€œfaces” beside the megapack, and the saved the ID too the picture alongside the config file, but nothing happens after I've reloaded the skin.

Can I have a screenshot of the folder, showing clearly the full path?

 

Can you also attach the config file, and provide a screenshot of his UID in-game?

I'm not sure why you posted in here and not the technical support thread. I'm also not sure why you quoted a post of mine from almost 13 years ago, only to replace its text with yours.

 

Finally, even though you say that you are "capable to download it easily at 70  MB/sec”, I'm afraid it seems to be an issue at your end, because nobody else has complained about this. I've just tried downloading it myself, and the speed is perfectly fine πŸ˜•
