FM20 Hidden Regen UID Finder (Create your own Press Officer & Personal Assistant images!)

Yes, on page 2 of this thread. See my post and use the config file from @ducc  in the post after mine.

Yeah I had this issue too. I should have emphasised it more in my previous post, but to fix it simply delete all the other black boxes. So let's say you replaced 10 of the pictures with your own, delete the other 1490 black boxes and it should work.

on this website you can generate staff 

Just been trying to update the config range for FM22 but without success.  I've tried using some of the files existing for this for the Personal Assistant and Player Liason Officer faces. Had no issues in the past and I've tried to update the Config to search from 2002010000

<record from="1" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002010000/portrait"/>

etc. through to 

<record from="14256" graphics/pictures/person/2003036431/portrait"/>

I know from the staff panel this is capturing the UID used for my Club Doctor (Also hidden personnel) but it doesnt seem to be helping with the other two? Any ideas the ranges or if i've made an amateur error in the config update? 

I think something regarding the UIDs has changed in FM22. It is working for training staff, doctors, etc now instead of Personal Assistent and Press Officer.

That is what i'd heard/seen - I can't stand looking at my bushy eyebrowed regen press officer, would be great if anyone can shed any light on which UID's are being used or any other ways to identify the Unique ID's to replace them!

Personal Assistant ID is usually your managers (YOU) ID +1 so if your UID is 0001 your personal assistants UID would be 0002.

After some trial and error replacing numbers this config.xml worked for me with the regen id finder.

It is really so easy! Saves me a lot of time searching for the right numbers, thank you so much!

how to change the name personal assistant, does anyone know?

Folks, the UID finder does work but the IDs are significantly higher so you need to adjust the ID range in the XML file in order to get it to work. 

The last ID of a person in the database is currently 2002042237 and my manager ID is 2002105914. I never twigged before that my personal assistant's ID is mine+1 but it is indeed. You live and learn! Shame that the other IDs - press officer and player liaison officer aren't as easy to deduce.

However, I have found that the ID numbers for the press officers etc, in FM22 fall somewhere within the range 2002042237 - 2003090236 (yes, I have 1,048,000 lines in the config I use in the UID finder!!)  The range in my XML is way bigger than it needs to be, and if I was a betting man I'd say the actual range is within 2002042238 (last person ID+1) - 2002105913 (my manager ID-1)

ADDENDUM

Press Officer ID in my save is 2002071583 which is my manager ID-34331
Player Liasion Officer ID in my save is 2002071584 which is my manager ID-34330

Anyone care to test whether this is a constant and see if they can find the ID for those in their save by using the above sums?

My Manager ID is 2002065266

My Press Officer ID 2002057047  

Player Liason Office is 2002057048

I think its more random in each save. 

How can i change numbers in a config? Or could you please share your's?

I am able to open it, i am able to write lines with new numbers manually, but, because of real life, i have no time to write 1.000.000 lines… (for 2 pictures)

@FM Reporter  well you shot that idea down in flames!! 😄. Guess I wasn't thinking it through properly, the only way it might work was if you had exactly the same Db set up as I did but if you have more (or less) active leagues that the game is going to need to generate more (or less) support staff meaning there's a bigger “wedge” of generated IDs between the last database ID and the manager ID.

Still, it was a nice idea whilst it lasted.

@Vasamm it's the first 999,999 lines that are the worst, it gets easier after that 😁.

In all seriousness, I actually use a combination of Excel and Notepad++ to change the IDs in the config so it's actually quite simple to do (as long as you are confident messing about in Excel and Notepad++ of course).

Attached config.xml contains the ID range 2002042238 - 2003090237 which should work for FM22 if used in place of the one in Rowan's pack.

I recommend you only use it to detect the actual ID and then create a new config with just a few lines in for the found IDs to use in the game, otherwise it may interfere with faces if you use a custom database with additional people added, or if SI increase the number of people in the Db in a future patch.

@Fidney Thank you mate!

Thanks @Fidney and @Rowan! This looks great…

You found the way?

How did you get face pics for your media? looks great!

@Slates84   I used a combination of Rowan's REGEN Finder but replaced the Config with the one from Fidney and kept the REGEN folder in the graphics/faces folder and ensured the ID numbers are still shown when playing.

Every time a black box with the UID number showed up, I picked a face i thought was suitable from the DF11 Staff Regen pack found here Regens Megapack (df11faces.com) and just removed the background, cropped the image a bit and changed the number of the PNG to the one found in the game. Saved into the REGEN UID folder and reloaded the skin to check it works. You don't even need to fiddle around with the config as it's already there.

Hello, has anyone found a solution?

Anyone know to get this to work with FM23?

Yes it does

How? 

Exactly the same process

The file has been updated ?

it doesnt need to be, most graphics work from previous versions, it works as i use it

Nice. Can you use this together with Zealand NewGan-Manager or will there be problems?

Thanks so much!

Had no issues using both.

Thanks. Tried it now and at the moment no Issue for me too.
