1. Download this program
2. Install it
3. Run it

(This was the simple part)

4. Now you should see small window with an Edit box, some buttons, check-boxes and radio buttons

5. First you have to choose working directory. You can get it in several ways:
- Use Browse button
- Type it or paste from clipboard
- Drag the directory on fmXML window (my preferred)

6. Next - choose Action from these 2 options:
- Make config.xml file
Use this if you have made faces/logos/kits for some players/clubs/competitions
- Translate file names to IDs
Use this if you have downloaded a face pack which contains files, named as player real name, not ID,
but you want to copy them in another folder (to avoid duplicates or whatever another reason).
This works with face/logo packs, but not with kits
(may be implemented later)

7. Object - choose one
- faces - for player/coach faces
- kits - for club/nation kits
- nation logos - for national FA logos
- competition logos - for competition logos
- club logos - for (surprise) club logos

8. Options
- All filenames are IDs
If filenames of these graphics already are resource ID numbers (which you can find in FM
2005 using option to show unique IDs), you can tick this checkbox.
Use this only if filenames ARE IDs. If they are not, you will end up with config.xml files with IDs as 0,
and they will not work in the game.

If you do not tick this checkbox, new dialog will pop up, asking you for resource ID for each
file. Find appropriate ID and insert it. For kits there are more options.

- Process dragged folders
This lets you speed up some things. If ticked, you can drag multiple folders on fmXML window to
process them as a batch. N!B! you can not change graphics type in batch mode. So ensure that all
files in these folders are from the same type.

9. GO button starts the job (in batch mode it starts automatically).

11. Edit XML
It is a simple config.xml file viewer/editor. It is very simple, but can be useful. There is an issue that you can
use TAB key normally. To get a TAB symbol, use Ctrl+TAB.

12. When the work is done, click Close. There is no surprise that it just quits program 🙂


And remember, when the work is done, share it with others.

D'oh

I can't believe that despite checking the UID number a dozen times I still got it wrong. It works fine now, thanks for the solution!

I've had this problem before, just Google "MFC70.DLL download" and you should find a few sites where you can download this from. All you have to do is unzip the file and put it in C:\Windows\System32.

This should fix the problem.

Just follow the advice from the above post, but search for "MSVCR70.dll" instead. As these programs were written a few years ago, probably for Windows XP/Vista you will find several ".dll" files are missing on newer versions of Windows.

Hope this helps.

No problem.

I'm using Windows Vista and the process was pretty straight forward for me, what version of Windows are you using & what else did you have to do? I only ask so that if anyone else has the same problem we have a solution!

I use Windows 7 myself, I added the MSVCR70.dll file to Windows/System 32, had a little fiddle with the run/command function to no avail and then simply downloaded a DLL File Fixer and that did the job for me

Nope. There used to be a list, but SI asked us to remove it.

You need at least one FM game (they all come with FM Editor, where you can get the UIDs from easily)

For some reason I still can't get the facepack to work, even after I followed Rowan's guide. Everything worked out perfectly, and I didn't get any error messages, and I placed the config file in the folder: Football Manager 2013/graphics/faces.

Am I still missing something here? I've not edited the ID's of each picture yet, but shouldn't the pictures (cutouts) already come with the right ID if I've downloaded them all from the download section? I downloaded through mirrors.

Yes it is HARD! not only it does not work but any solutions given by Google sucked on my PC. SO is there any PROPER solution for this error? FMguru also is not working on my rig (Win 7Prof 64bit - legit)

I've downloaded fmXML and installed it, copied the Megapack folder into the directory, but some of the new IDs that I added (which weren't originally in the mega-pack folder) such as these: http://sortitoutsi.net/forums/topic/361/megapack-missing-image-request-thread?page=145#comment_116157 won't show up. Am I missing something? Do I have to edit the fmXML file?

At the risk of sounding patronising, have you added them into the MP folder? If yes, make sure that the preferences are set in this manner

Yes to all. I just downloaded the new Clint Dempsey face and it worked in my game, but for some reason some of those other players face won't show up.

***EDIT*** Nevermind, I got it to work, thanks again for your help.

when using this what do you check to make icons of the player photos? The XML needs to read icon and not portrait.

been spending 2 days trying to make this pack work. I'm starting to grow white hair here I downloaded the torrent Megapack 6.0 and extract it into Documents>Si>graphics>faces. Made sure it had the config file and ofc the ingame Interface modifications as shown in the guides. I tried the 6.0 alone, than Ive also tried to add 6.1 and 6.2 over the 6.0 and put the 6.2 config file in. Now I was about to use that FMXML program to update the config file to the faces I have in the folder, but I'm stuck at MFC70.dll missing. I DLed the missing .dll added to windows32 but still shows as missing. Anyway, from what I see in these guides, I should of not gotten so far as dealing with FMXML program. All they do is add them folders into faces one and modify those thing in the interface and it should work, but it doesnt for me. I tried so many things I'm out of ideas. I would appreciate some help.

This is ridiculous, I spent so much money on this game, and I have to struggle so much with these face packs. Can't get it to work at all. Next year I'll go back to FIFA Manager. This is outrageous. No team emblems, no faces no this no that. How come Fifa Manager has them all + awesome comentaries, and this game who is the most popular, has nothing? Pay for it SI, and deliver what we fking pay for u mofos.



First of all, I don't know what you're looking to achieve by posting that rant here. Although this is an SI-affiliate site, we don't decide what graphics go into the boxed version of the game as we're just a fansite. Not much we can do there

Secondly, if you can't get facepacks to work, I respectfully submit that this is nothing to do with SI, but with your lack of understanding of the mostly basic installation instructions thereof. Thousands of people have managed to install them and hardly any of them come here effing and blinding at SI. If you're having issues, then use the respective facepack forum to ask for assistance with a modicum of manners.

Thirdly, if you think FIFA Manager is so awesome, how come you're here on this FM fan-site?

Fourthly, the reason that SI cannot provide us with licensed graphics for some leagues is that other companies (e.g. EA and Konami) hold EXCLUSIVE long-term rights to them, and it is therefore impossible to include them. This is where the FM community comes in, and provides you and everyone else with downloadable graphical content to enhance your game. Moreover, if you read the game's licensing information, it's made clear which graphical content is included and which not so I'm not sure why you think you've paid for something which is not included in the price

Fifthly (if such a word exists), grow up and stop being such an entitled cry-baby.
