Hola, It is hard to say, but it looks like something is blocking the software from copying the config.xml file into the NG_regens picture folder. The message is "path cannot be found", but that sometimes can be misleading. So basicaly: Scan was successful, the software created a config.xml in its support directory and wanted to copy it to the main picture folder, but couldnt because something is preventing the file to be written there

You can try to start it via “Run as Administrator" to see if that helps. You do not need to do the scan again, it is enough to simply Activate the profile as all information has already been gathered.

You can also right click on the NG_Regens picture folder, go into properties and check folder's permissions, maybe you will see something wonky there.

• Check ✅ Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images

I can't find that checkbox in my game…

Funcionando a la perfección en Windows siguiendo los pasos de la guía.

Muchas gracias!!

Hey so I'm trying to use this on FM24 at the moment, and the scan is only showing up ~46k players when there are roughly 74k in the game.

Selecting minimum PA of 100 shows 15.7k but a search in game shows 26.6k. 

Seems to be the younger ones not being picked up but it doesn't look consistent. Any ideas?

Hi, stupid question, you filter for only regens in FM when you search, right? Not including real players? 

Also if you just only had a youth intake please save, go back to main menu, then reaload your save and try to scan again - they might not have been populated into memory yet.

Windows blocked it opening, just had to unblock it in program properties and working now 

Not working for me on Windows. Newgens have no image. This started when I replaced the bundle file and tested (for the lazy approach). I then used the installer to assign image files to the newgens, but they're not showing either. My guess for the latter is that one of the recent updates has removed the “Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images” option from settings as I can't see any such option (and so can't enable/disable it). Either way, neither approach is working for me.

Perhaps worth mentioning that my graphics folder etc. are not on C: but D: to save space on the C: - don't expect this to cause an issue as logos / real player images, etc. are correctly detected, but figured I'd mention it. (Thanks for your work on this tool, by the way!)

@Dan159 yes, “Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images” must be OFF for the main method to work. I see several people mentioning they cant see that option anymore. Not sure what SI is doing here to be honest, probably they needed to remove it to make UEFA coefficients work, idk… You can try to reset your settings to default in the game (I think I saw that option, cant check now sry) - that should fix that.

@Beringer_DK See above, if you cant see that, means SI have tweaked something again. Are you on on normal or beta brach? I am on normal and can see it, maybe beta breaks it?

Thanks for the fast reply! Sadly, that doesn't fix it. However, looking at your reply to @Beringer_DK, I'm on the beta branch, which might be why “Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images” isn't available for me.

Thanks for the reply. I doubted myself but I was! Tried again today and seems to be a lot closer to the total that the player search shows! I'll remember to save and reload before running again.

Is it possible to generate faces for two or more saves?

How? Creating a new profile?

Thanks!

Yes, one profile represents one game. It stores all configurations for a single save. If you play another save, simply create a new profile, perform a memory scan on that save, and it will store all configurations for the new save.

After that, activate the profile for the save you plan to play before launching the game and it will place the correct config files in the game directory.

I installed this and all was working but now my most recent round of newgens have been given female faces?

Hi, this is ID recycling. You can read the “Important FM26 memory-scan workflow” in the bottom of the guide, it explains why it happens and what to do about that.

Hi!

Yesterday i copied the 'ui-newgen-portraits_assets_all.bundle' -file into my  ‘26\fm_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64’ folder and overscibed the existing  'ui-newgen-portraits_assets_all.bundle' -file. After that, i followed Step 3 and 4 of the instructions;

       3)   (In FM26 > Preferences > Detailed > Audio & Visual.

• Check ✅ Show pictures of players (and staff) who have been generated by the game
• Check ✅ Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images 
• 4) Restart Football Manager 26.

After that, i re-starded my saved game, but now the game is continious crashes when i try to save it again.

Can you please assist me with this problem? Is there anything i did wrong? Is it correct that both  ✅needs to be on ?

Hope you can help me, thanks!

Hi mate, I would honestly want to help you, but the whole bundle method is a complete black box for me. If it crashes when saving, I honestly don't feel it can be connected to an asset file being changed, but with SI you never know…

I would suggest trying to revert to the default bundle (either by copying back the OG file if you have made a backup or by verifying files in Steam) and check if it fixes that. If it then works, then it really is the bundle, but that is unfortunately out of my power - that means SI have probably broken something in one of the latest patches.

You can also try any other bundle from any other newgen creator to check if it works better for you. Or you can check the full version with the tool (if you are on Windows that is or on Mac, but with a lot of passion)

Hi, 

Thanks for your quick reply, appreciated! I'll do a re-install tonight because i did not made a back-Up from the default Bundle file.

Just checking: Both ✅ (Show pictures of players (and staff) who have been generated by the game AND Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff) rather than dynamically-generated images) needs to be put on ‘yes’ correct? Sorry, but this is not very clear to me after reading your comments on 15/12? 

If you use bundle, then you need to have Both settings set to ON.

If you use the method with the tool you use “Show pictures of players (and staff) who have been generated by the game” on ON and for “Use pre-generated pictures of players (and staff)…” you use OFF (which are also default game settings)

Hi,

Thank you for this amazing app and your hard work!

I have a question, let's say i have 1 regen player named A from youth intake and then i changed his face manually, the next youth intake i used the app again and chose preserve mode. My question is why the app generated player named A that I've changed before?
Sorry for my broken English, i hope you understand. Thank you.

Hi, thank you for kind words.

How have you manually changed the picture for that player - via the software or by manually editing the config.xml inside of the pictures folder?

Hi buddy really strange but it keeps saying my profile isn't active after I've generated the faces there all in my game only started yesterday something in going wrong 

Hi, can you please do me a screenshot if the exact message you are talking about?

Basically the tool only compares size of the config.xml in your pictures folder with the size of config.xml it has inside of the profile. And if they dont match (f.e. if you have manually edited the config.xml to reassign some pictures) it will not count the profile as active.

But may be you mean something else, I would need to see the message

Hi, having an issue activating the profile after doing a successful scan. Keep getting the error shown in screenshot and cant figure out how to fix. Any advice would be helpful. 

Hi, something is blocking the software from copying the config file into the picture folder. Maybe folder permission got set weirdly or that might be your AV. You can try to run as adminitrator to see if that helps. The guy above on the previous page had exactly the same issue and managed to solve it somehow, you can ask him what was the problem on his pc.

Hi, did you manage to resolve this as im having the same issue and cant seem to find the cause

I think I finally fixed it. I allowed the NG Regens Manager exe to have controlled folder access and it seems to be working now.

great to hear you fixed it! yeah, the error sounds a bit misleading with PathNotFound, when in reality it just means the program tried to write a file and something in OS has blocked it from doing so.

How do u give Ng regens folder control access sorry ABIT shit wiv computers

Im not gay, but im very attracted to Ruben Machado, it is just me or there is something wrong….
