This is a replacement for the Newgan Faces Manager Tool. If you have previously used that tool and are using the same saved game you will have to continue using that tool. For new saves, please use this tool alongside the latest version of the Ultra Realistic NewGan Faces Megapack.

 

This tool will let you generate a config file for Newgan players that you can combine with a Newgan Players Facepack in order to have realistic photos for new players that the game generates.

 

When you download it you will be greeted by a .zip file. Follow the same steps as in Step (1) to unzip this file.

 

You will then want to download click on the following file:

 

Windows: NewGAN-Manager-Installer-Win/windows/NewGAN-Manager.msi

 

Mac: NewGAN-Manager-Installer-Mac/MacOS/NewGAN-Manager.dmg

 

This will then install the program on your computer.

 

You may receive an error on Mac

 

“NewGAN-Manager.app”cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.”

 

To get around this simply go to Library > Applications find NewGAN Manager and click Right Click > Open and then select “Open”

I had some issues with the FM.z only changing as few faces, i resolved this by reverting my skin to default and reselecting, exporting and running through FM.z all faces have changed now. Hope this helps someone took me hours of tinkering to work it out.

I found the solution via following the video instructions on sortioutsi youtube tutorial.

Download the faces, extract them and put the folder named players into  My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/graphics/Uran Faces Megapack.

If you have done everything else correctly, the replace faces button should now work.

 

 

What "players" folder? There's nothing of the sort in the folders, it's ordered by ethnicity

The replace faces button is not a folder, it is a button on programme itself.

Still also cannot get this to work. Whenever I hit replace faces button, the app doesn't do anything. It doesn't free, it doesn't load, it acts as if I didn't hit any button. On a Mac, FM24.

So when i put the filter in for the scouting section, im only getting 860 newgens and not the 14k? 

 

Any ideas?

Mine won't work, lmao. newGAN worked like a gem beside FM24 itself effing it up, but when I press ‘Replace faces’, absolutely nothing happens. Tried administrator rights, didn't work. Using a correct RTF file, the correct image directory with the correct structure, on Win10. Anyone with a lightbulb moment?

Do you mean you've problems in selecting all the players on the list? 

 

May try the following: 

 

Let's take my very old computer and select a list of 89,000 players as an example… First of all, make sure everything is loaded in your list, and then: 

 

Select the first player and hold your mouse left button, then scroll slowly to the end of the list. You can see each player is selected on the way… (This is a challenge to hold the mouse and keep scrolling steadily.)  

 

OR

 

Click and select a player, then press Ctrl-A to select all. (It could freeze, so may need to try a few times. Anyway, in my case, it takes around 20 seconds to have everyone selected, and feels like it hangs up in the process. Be patient!)

 

OR

 

Alternatively, click and select the first player in the list, then scroll all the way down to the bottom. Press and hold the Shift key, and click the last player. (it seems to be the most reliable method so far!) 

 

 

Once you've every players selected, the export process shouldn't be an issue. Anyway: 

I managed to export all the above 89k players into a .rtf file (about 20 MB) without any error. Forgive me that I don't bother to check if everyone is on the file, but I've a brief look: The first few and the last few players are there for sure. 

 

I have the same problem. There are 25568 players in the list. I selected all of them and clicked on them again with the right mouse button to check: 25568 players here too. 
If I now export to an RTF, FM24 only takes approx. 250 players into the file. 
Even when printing to PDF or HTML only 250 players. 
What is the reason for this?

Yeah, me too, I just could do the generate file one time, after i tried to replace and update the faces, the app never more worked. Neither the replace button and generate button… What could we do to have the Faces ?

Is there some kind of override in FM? I have a “fake player” save, and after running this, a lot of players have been changed, but a bunch are still coming up with the NewGen faces, presumably the ones that are just real players with changed names?

 

edit - just to mention, I checked the XML file generated by the tool, and the players are there and assigned a new image, I basically just exported a list that is every player in the database, however despite being in the XML still the newgen faces persist.

Downloaded everything but can't get the filters to load when on step five. Can't find a solution on Mac and even paid for the yearly subcription in order to download it properly (i'm the real loser). Any danger of some help or do i just have to hold this one?

It's a simple step to check: Are the IDs of those players in the .rtf file you exported? 

If the IDs aren't there, then obviously, no photo would be assigned to those players. 

 

If this is the case, then the solution is straightforward: Include them in the list (or another list) in some ways and export again…

In most tutorials, people suggest using a new and unemployed manager to find newgens and export the list. But the fact is that just not everyone are there on the list. The obvious example is the U18 squad of the team you're managing. From my experience, often only a few of my U18 new boys get their newgen photos. 

 

So, what I do is: Do it twice… build a list using a new and unemployed manager, and then another list with myself (the manager I'm playing), mainly for my new youth intakes. 

 

This way should cover more players… Is it going to cover every newgen in the game? I don't think so, but should be the best you can do. Of course, if you only need to add photos to a few players, then you may just manually edit the config.xml file.

The situation is that you're going to meet some players without photos anyway. 

 

For example, I usually do the newgen photo assignment at the end of every season (English Premier League, i.e. June). But, the fact is that some countries have different youth intake dates, e.g. September or October in Argentina, Brazil, Sweden,…    

 

That means you're going to encounter some newgen players with no photos in the game… until you run the tool next time. 

 

Yes, you may do the photo assignment every month or every 3 months. Or, may just take it easy and enjoy the game.

I can enjoy the game without the NewGan faces, it was just my question why the tool / filter doesn't catch every player. So all good

“it was just my question why the tool / filter doesn't catch every player.” 

 

I actually think it makes sense this way… 

 

Yes, it's convenient if an unemployed manager knows every single player in the world. However, I can't imagine that he knows much about my U18 squad. 

 

Those players just entered my team 2 months ago, and I can't even remember how many they're… yet this outsider knows all their names? It's just kind of unrealistic. Let alone the fact that I'm just managing a small club in a semi-professional league… 

 

 

Anyway, some said that the in-game editor may help select all players. Not sure if it means the same thing as in a player search… may check it out, if you're interested. Cheers!

Hello everyone. When I run it, it is not picking up Japanese player as japanese and is giving them “european” faces. ANy idea on what to do?

 

  1. When you said “them”, do you mean a few, or many, or even all Japanese players?
  2. If it's only a few of them, maybe they've second nationalities? Well, if you don't like them this way, you may simply re-assign other photos to them, manually… For a few players, it won't take you too long.
  3. May check your facepack, and see if there are any photos of Japanese players… If, for some reason, there's none, then it's understandable that the program may assign some random faces to them (I guess it may work this way).
  4. Say, you don't have any photos of Japanese players in the facepack, then you may download again/check for any update.
  5. Following above, alternatively, may try generating some images using AI (much easier now… may refer to tutorials on YouTube). Try a few first (I suppose you can figure out how to name the files, refer to other photos), and see if it actually assigns those photos to your newgen Japanese players.
  6. Lastly, if the above generation works out well, then you may simply add more this way… Not bad when you can fix the problem as well as create your own facepack.
