Great..- thanks alot..

 

Allthough in the first version many of the U-19 coaches and youth scouts shoud not be in the game.  You got a way larger staff  than the board alow. 

Some of them train the U-12 team.. And the board isn´t right.. But not a big problem, we can set them to no club ourselves..  

 

You have done the hard work, well done and thamks..

We opted for the complete package: a full staff, from the first team down to the youth ranks. Within the scouting team, the youth and first teams work closely together within Ajax, and it has now become a unified whole.

Thank you for your support, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Sincerely,

I have finally got it working! Thanks for all your help… the config file I was using was slightly corrupted. Using the one you provided I finally got it working. I also managed to add Max Dowman's picture to him so I will now create a facepack for all custom youth talent once i get a bit of time.

II started two new saves, but each time I get different ID numbers. The numbers don't match the numbers when I open the file in the pre-game editor. For those interested, the cutout and pure faces are in the links. Create your own XML file and provide the faces with ID numbers.

Afternoon…. apologies for not coming back to you sooner. You will need to go into the pre game editor, load the editor data file with the created president for Ajax, locate the president and you should be able to see a Unique ID for him there. Then create the config and face as usual.

 

I hope this helps. FYI I believe you will only ever see their faces if they talk to you when you are appointed or make a board request?

Next year it would be cool to just update the Steam workshop item every time instead of uploading a new one haha. Saves a bit of hassle. Anyway, thanks for the update, great to see the latest changes covered. With Ajax nowadays you can almost update this editor file weekly haha.
