I have this cut for him, it's not the most recent of photo's or the greatest cut, but probably better than the current image.

Can't believe the lack of decent images for him, plus I'm playing FM08 and he always ends up signing for a large European team and scoring against me!

Hi guys looking into my graphics folder i have a few questioins illl like to ask regarding this update and to make sure everything is fine.

Ok so in my graphics folder in documents/si/football manager 2013/graphics/pictures

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3707/9709308468_62c3b3e6f3_c.jpg

The person folder opens to one folder Megapack 5.0 containing 117,685 items (above)

http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2885/9709308422_28063401fb_c.jpg

this is the seperate sortitoutsi folder which contains icon faces aswell as faces??

Icon faces is 3,162 items --- Faces folder is 2,354 items

Im a little bit confused as to why these are not in one folder.

Please help! Also When downloading the updates for the Megapack just copy over existing files?


After downloading any updates just cut & paste all the contents of the folder into your Megapack folder and overwrite any of the existing files when prompted. Just remember to download and apply the updates in the correct order.

The Icon Faces will be in a different folder and work in exactly the same way as the Cut-Out Faces Megapack. As you only have 3,162 items in there, you have not downloaded the full pack as there should be the same amount of items as your main Megapack.

Not sure why there is another Faces folder in there! Did you download it from this site? Or you may have unzipped/moved it to the incorrect location by accident. I have a strong feeling that this is Update pack 5.8 as this contained 2,354 images.

I went for the fmXML option due to my unreliable internet connection but that hasn't solved the problem.

I then decided to delete the config altogether and checked in game before i made a new one, but the faces are still showing up in the game even without it.

How is this even possible?


Either you have a second config file somewhere (although this is unlikely) or the faces you are seeing are the ones included by SI with the game.

Gedion Zelalem is not currently in the official FM database (he was too young when FM13 was released).

Any UID's starting with 139XXXXXXX are usually players created using the editor.

I have a better image of him which I'll post in the NO ID thread.

I'll take these.

There are also updated images for Kingsley Coman & Kalifa Traore which I'll add, but am unable to get Kalifa Traore's UID. Would someone be able to let me know what it is? Thanks.

Hi just downloaded the 5.08 pack and applied it and some of the faces are blurred out like in the picture attached, anyone know why. Sorry i'm not good with this stuff it might just be im doing something wrong, help would be appreciated! thanks!


I think you may have downloaded an Icons Megapack update by mistake.

If you open the folder where your facepack is kept and see if the images inside are differnet sizes. They should all be 180x180 in size but if you have accidentally placed icons in there some will be 25x18.

I believe the total image count is 129,491. Either you haven't downloaded all the update packs or maybe you have installed it incorrectly.

There is a dedicated thread for questions/problems/help when installing the Megapack, HERE and is best if you post any more questions here.

I think you need to look in this thread for techniques on cutting images, as yours are covered with snow, which look bad on dark skins/backgrounds (as you can see below).

#88516 Regen Replacement images
blackmetalboon

The easiest way of doing this is;

1. Place all the regen faces you are going to use into a single folder.

2. Rename each one with the relevant UID found within the game.

3. Place the config template into this folder and open it with Notepad (There should be only one config file in this folder).

4. For every regen face you will need to copy and paste the line <record from="CHANGE ME" to="graphics/pictures/person/CHANGE ME/portrait"/>. So if you have 7 faces you wish to use you will need to have this line 7 times in the config file.

5. Replace the "CHANGE ME" section of each line with the UID of the player. Each line should have a different UID as each line will be for a different player.

EXAMPLE;
<record from="1394631307" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394631307/portrait"/>
<record from="1394631314" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394631314/portrait"/>
<record from="1394631389" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394631389/portrait"/>
<record from="1394631923" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394631923/portrait"/>
<record from="1394631955" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394631955/portrait"/>
<record from="1394632022" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394632022/portrait"/>
<record from="1394632129" to="graphics/pictures/person/1394632129/portrait"/>

Save the changes made to the config file.

6. Go back to your game preferences>Display & Sound and click confirm. They should now be visable in game.

You can keep adding new regen images to this folder, but for every image you will need to add an additional line into the config file and go back to your game preferences>Display & Sound and click confirm for them to show.

Hope this helps.

In your Regen folder you should have the Regen Image (re-named to the players UID) and a config file (this should be called config, this is where you may have gone wrong).

If you have changed the two "CHANGE ME" sections in the line to the players UID and then saved as a .txt file, the config file should be ok.

I'm not sure why the image is "not viewable", do you mean the image or the text file?

If it is the image and you have a program that will save images as .png files (Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.net) try loading the image and then save it again as a .png.

I seem to be having trouble. When I attempt to type in the UID I'm unable to type/remove the 'CHANGE ME' Anyone have any idea what's going on?


What program are you using to edit the config file? Notepad and Wordpad should do it without any problems.

my attempts at Sturridge and Cole from the new england kit release


http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/BradzleyB/5127717.png http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/BradzleyB/4001563.png


They look good. There is a blue tint to them, but I'm sure that is from the original source photo's, but might be worth tweaking the colour slightly to try to get rid of it.

The only other things I would recommend is maybe rotating Cole's image slightly so it is straight (it is best to do this before cutting/resizing) and adding more to Sturridge's shoulders so they don't stop suddenly.

What?


If you click on the "Existing Images: Search results for43026579 " of your request you will see that that he's already been cut from a higher quality version of that exact image.

It is always using the megapack search tool before posting a request to make sure that it has not been done already and that it will be an improvement.

So, Im the only one, who is not able to catch and download the Spain and Uruguay Confederations Cup Photos, because no "mirror" is uploaded ? Really want those packs, but I don't understand Geordie (What's a susie download?)

Hope someone would reupload, would really appreciate :-)

Great Great Work !


If you click on the the Download link it will take you to the Susie/Sortitoutsi download page, click on the "Download Now" button then scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see the Download link for the "Free Mirrors" (in this case it's from Sendspace).

Why?In the first post with Messi and his hair was considered an improvment.That's a completly different hairstyle.Actually he looks like a completly different man.


The main reason is that it is not a squad profile picture (looking at the camera), plus Torres has had a new image cut a few days ago, and can be found here, in the Spainish Confederations Cup Facepack.

It looks like you may have another facepack installed somewhere. It might be worth doing a search, using Neymars UID (19024412), in your Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2013 folders to see if there are any conflicting images/config files.
