Thanks very much for this.  worked wonderfully.   Even my previously mapped staff (PA, Player Liaison, Scouts) saved while the newgens were updated.  Fantastic job…thanks for making it easy!

I'm struggling to figure out how to get these faces into the game.  I tried to follow the newgan faces instructions using the FMZ tool, but nothing happens.  Also the RTF pulled all staff (I was trying to upload female staff).  Any help is appreciated.  

Never mind.  I figured how to add one by one as needed

I had changed a few of the xml (player without background; player flut stadium; player flut card, etc.).  Do you need to see all or one in particular.  I get the error when going to the player information, but can move from panel to panel without the error.  Panel 1 no longer has the kits blocking the background images.  Let me know which file(s) you'd need to see.  Thanks 

 

Reading the error again, it seems to refer to this xml.

Hi

There is a problem in your code. If you want, send me here your xml and I will take a look on it.

Are direct downloads for members not possible for the archived files?  I'm on FM19 and was trying to download 2019.00 and the direct link does nothing.  The site says I downloaded 2018 first file in February this month but it is nowhere on my system.  I looked at the mirror site and sorry no, I won't be downloading from there.

@John_Nicolette, TBH I'm not sure about being able to change the press officer's face given that in previous versions it is challenging to find their UID and all but the pack can be used for any version, as long as your XML file is properly written. You can change any staff regens face.


Thanks. I found out that I couldn't use the current version with the older game but I did find the FM20 version worked very well. I did find a way to get my PA in there using the instructions and tools from both Regen posts and a little help from the internet to get me around having to manually rename 70 some odd files.

Hello! I found out how to do this the 'quick' way. There is a bit of a compromise, but it sure beats copying and pasting numbers onto images 72 different times.

First, follow the instructions above up until question four. Make note of the number that appears instead of your the regen face.

For example, my press officer had an image with '1396' while my personal assistant had '300'.

Go into the 'Regen UID Finder' in the graphics/faces folder and replace the images with your PO / PA number with whatever image you like. So for me, I replaced images '300' and '1396' with the face that I wanted.

After that, delete (or better yet, move them somewhere else) all images inside the folder aside from the edited ones. What was left of my folder was the .config file (which I did not touch), a ds_store file and the two custom images. If you don't delete the other images, all regens in game will be black boxes with a number in them. We don't want that, obviously.

...And that should work! Test it out by reloading the skin.

Compromises:

1. If you want to add another face onto another regen, here are the steps: copy all previous pictures (which is why I recommended to just move them somehwere else, and yeah - all 15,000 of them. My hardrive was sulking the whole way) back into the graphics/pictures folder to identify the faces you need (make sure you don't overwrite any existing faces). Go in game, reload skin, make a note of the face you want to edit, overwrite the image number with whatever picture, delete the other unedited images, and finally reload the skin.

It's a bit hard, but better than manual labour.


2. Your computer does most of the hard work. 😉


Finally, thanks @Rowan for this mod! If anyone needs me to clarify anything, ask.



Yes this did work for me then I found out harshly that the regens other than the few I changed were all black boxes. This should work on FM19 (my version) and I assume FM20. I may resort to this when I go crazy trying to rename individually 72 PAs and 72 press officials. Also thanks for your clarification on the excel trick. I may set that up as another tab for the future.

dont quite get this either...tried the Excel instructions but i feel like the image number should be entered somewhere in the string to be pasted in the second column.


What I found that was easier when trying to use this on FM19: I went into the config file and at first I did what everyone does, find each UID and write them down. I noted that the PA, 1875 by the black box number almost always followed a control-f find that showed 11875. Then I started looking at the UID numbers and with my handy calculator found out, at least for the Db I'm using (don't know if it differs based on FM20 or how it may work on FM21), there are 14,256 UID between each iteration of 1875. SO, all I did was go into a new excel sheet, started a column labeled 1875 in cell A1, put in the first UID in cell A2, then in the cell below:

=A2+14256

then just dragged and dropped for the 71 other UID. When I got to my last one it showed exactly the last UID in the Config that was associated with 1875. At least now I have a sheet with all the UID for each regen I want to change. Now I just have to figure out how to make 72 unique copied photos 😢

This is probably a dumb question but is this compatible with older versions of FM? Like say, 19? 🙂

Hey unfortunately we only use PayPal right now (we had issues accepting credit cards previously) any issues you have with PayPal will need to be fixed with them. I don't fully understand the issue with the phone numbers but it should be resolvable through PayPal support


Thanks. I finally got the issue resolved with paypal. took multiple attempts. Apparently they think you only keep one phone number over a decade long period, which was the only way they were verifying who I am. Anyway, downloading various files now. Thanks again

I can't even pay for a membership as they are requiring paypal rather than just letting me use my card, and paypal won't confirm me since I have the same email account but changed phone numbers years ago. And as far as I can see I don't see any way to contact the admins of this site other than to post public comments. I tried downloading packs via third party and immediately they were blocked by Norton which make me suspicious. I'd love to help out and pay my share, but if it is going to be this hard forget it. I've paid paypal items by using my card as a guest for many other things over the years.
