@mons From what I can tell, the current MP cutout is from a more recent source than @HRiddick's cutout

Right you are!

Hi,
Fleetwood Town currently has a lot of youth players without faces but in better news their website seems to have decent headshots for most of them: I'm just trying to work out how to get the original size images from the URLs. Here's an example:

https://www.fleetwoodtownfc.com/api/image/cropandgreyscale/fe2b00e2-8076-435a-b00e-0e586b803081/?preset=square&greyscale=false

I know that it must be possible to get something higher quality than this since just messing around with the URL I've managed to get a very large cropped rectangular version – please let me know if you have any tips!

Thanks!

EDIT: went two pages back and discovered the anchorpoint method – please ignore!

Not sure if any of them are included higher res in this flickr album?

Just out of curiosity is it possible to resize these while maintaining the quality/aspect ratio of the image? I just tried one from the Nottingham Forest team page and it blurs when using the anchorpoint method

Original size:
https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/api/image/cropandgreyscale/23748918-a0ea-4a54-bfc3-c565681423b3/?preset=player&greyscale=false

Larger size:
https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/api/image/cropandgreyscale/23748918-a0ea-4a54-bfc3-c565681423b3/?anchorpoint=top&greyscale=false

The anchorpoint method will just resize the original image to fit within the set frame size, so if the image itself is smaller than the frame then the quality will suffer. No workarounds otherwise I'm afraid, in this case the images uploaded to their website are just too small.

Awesomes!

Any idea of installation destination? Chucked them in them in:
/Users/name/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2021

And also:
/Users/name/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Football Manager 2021/data/game

With no joy.
(Mac btw)

They should go in the following folder:
/Users/name/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2021/panels

Could the results page for a "Search Cut Outs" search (e.g.) also include the player's ID alongside their name, like with the old forum? This would make life a lot easier when collecting images for teampacks!

Morning all, have anyone created a mod for Player Face sizes in FM21 yet? They're tiny in the default skin 😢

I used these panels in FM20 and they seem to be working a treat on FM21!

Wasn't sure where to put this question, but is anyone else having trouble extracting graphics from beta release?

Is there any way of doing this without the Resource Archiver? Don't think the new one comes out until the full release of the game

I also simply do not fully understand the new system. As a cutter, when I see a source image marked as "Pending Review", to me this says the source is still being evaluated by a moderator and is not available to cut yet. However I've also seen some sources marked "Completed" without having been cut; I assume the "Completed" in fact just means that a moderator has approved the image to be cut?

To my understanding the "Pending Review" filter is setup to help the moderators sort what they have and haven't looked at yet, which is fantastic as it makes life easier for them compared to the previous system, but for me this filter should be separated from the experience for users and cutters like myself.

For me the filters should be as below:

SOURCE IMAGES
Completed - Someone has cut the source image
Ready to cut - A source image that has not been cut yet
Rejected - The source image is unsuitable after moderator review

GAME READY
Completed - A completed source image
Rejected - The source image is unsuitable after moderator review
In pack - A completed image that is now included in the Megapack
I see no reason for any pending/yellow filter for an image that has already been cut, as from a user's point of view the image is either cut or not cut.

Alongside these filters, every post would also come accompanied with a separate box label, specifying whether a moderator has reviewed a post or not. This would simply present a binary choice of:

✓ Reviewed
Pending review

This way the moderator review system is separated from the user request system, but not at the expense of one diluting the other. I think the main source of confusion has come from combining the requesting and moderating into one set of filters, where that wasn't the case before. With this system, moderators would easily be able to sort what has and hasn't been reviewed, and users can separately sort what has and hasn't been cut yet. This would also eliminate unneeded filters "Pending review", "Draft" and "Deleted" for the user. I've tried to illustrate how this could look below (the "Moderated by" lines underneath could instead say "Reviewed by" to match the language of the Reviewed box):

A couple of other things to think about:

- A re-introduction of Teampacks/Mixpacks in some way for the reasons well explained by other users above. I totally understand a flaw in the old system was the many images that went ignored by being included in teampack requests, but as I mostly do my work through Teampacks I do miss the ability to upload a teampack and have it automatically posted to the Facepack Release Thread.

- Not sure there are plans to change this already as I know it's been suggested by myself and a few others, but each player's "Submissions" page really should be listed from most recent to oldest, rather than oldest to most recent as it is now.

First of all, thanks to everyone who has been working on the new website! There's a lot to get used to but I can already see everything is way more intuitive than before and that a lot of hard work must have gone into everything.

Quick list of my initial thoughts/suggestions on the Cut Out Forum specifically while browsing about this morning:

- On what was the request section, now the Contribute/Submissions section, there used to be a button for "My Requests" which was very useful but has now gone. I see there is a page to see all your (or anyone elses) previous requests, which is fantastic, but to access this I have to find my username amongst the Contribute/Submissions section, so a quicker way to access this page would be much appreciated. Maybe it could be attached to each user profile?

- Alongside the Search FM Database page there was also a “Search Cut-out Faces” page, which I found incredibly useful, but this seems to have been cut from the new website. I used this feature regularly when compiling team packs, where having access to list of full sized images for each team on display with their in game IDs listed underneath saved a lot of time. Now I would have to click on each individual player’s page to see their current image full size to compare. I’d be very disappointed to not have this feature restored, even if it isn’t listed as prominently on the website as before.

- The new feature displaying all previous cuts for player is fantastic, particularly because it also lists cuts included in teampacks. Hopefully this will save on duplicate requests! I would suggest these pages run from most recent to oldest in post order rather than the other way round, to see the latest requests/cuts for each player first.

Finally as a minor point I've noticed there is no preview post option when posting a new discussion/thread.

Looking forward to getting familiar with everything else - I think the new website is probably just a bit of a shock to get used to

How would I get this image in colour? It was in colour until I removed the crop part from "image/cropandgreyscale/" and now it's in black and white.

https://www.itfc.co.uk/api/image/greyscale/375ba86e-4985-401f-9bbe-a8a24b208ffe/?preset=player&greyscale=false

Tried a few things to solve this before and annoyingly I don't think it's possible. I think for whatever reason the image can only show up in colour if the "cropand" part is put back. The below is a workaround:

For sources on EFL websites, such as with this request:

Replace the segment "?preset=square", or any other variant like "?preset=header" with "?anchorpoint=top" to get the largest portion of the top of the image, "?anchorpoint=middle" for the centre portion and "?anchorpoint=bottom" for the bottom portion. These can be combined to make a larger image than the one provided on each player profile.

Example links:

Hi all, not an update as such as I'm not actively involved in this project at the moment, but as far as I know a substantial continuation/improvement on V1 in still very much in the works with thousands of images and a tool to get these images in game. My only involvement was helping with removing the halo effect from the images, but otherwise the project is in very capable hands and I imagine a release is not too far away.
