#621568 FM20 Hidden Regen UID Finder (Create your own Press Officer & Personal Assistant images!)
Smekky
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.

Btw, to those who didn't understand how this was supposed to work:
1. Copy all the lines in the config. (e.g. <record from="1" to="graphics/pictures/person/1915386801/portrait"/> )
2. Paste in excel (cell A1).
3. Next to it (Cell B1), copy/paste the formula TopToffee provided. Duplicate this so it covers all the entries on the left.
4. Now, format it as a table.
5. Then use the filter function to organise (e.g. my number was '1' and the long number next to it is the thing I'm supposedand start copying onto pictures).

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.
