Here's a link to the 9.00 torrent pack: https://sortitoutsi.net/media/47871/torrent 😉

 

Amazing! 🙂 Nobody's seeding atm, but maybe I only need a little more patience.

You'd have to rely on somebody in the community still having it…

 

Yeah, I guess that's not to be expected. Maybe the best thing I can do is download the original pack plus all the updates up to 2016 by hand, although that's gonna take a long time. 

Thank you for your help! I'm ofc happy if you can think of sth else. 🙂

That timeframe seems fine tbh.

 

I wouldn't think it's that peculiar tbh. If the file is generated ‘badly’, it'll be extracted ‘badly’ irrespective of the method or program used to extract it.

 

You wouldn't happen to have a more recent FM version to try using the same files with it? This hasn't been flagged as an issue with FM22 yet, so I'm wondering if the issue is related to FM16.

 

The most recent torrent file contain a different compression technique to reduce the file size. I'm wondering if this technique produces cut-out file which are displayed normally in FM22 but which FM16 doesn't support, somehow.

 

I don't own a more recent FM, unfortunately. And I suppose there is no way to get a torrent for one of the previous megapacks? (Tbh I'd even be happy with the facepack of 2016).

That would certainly not be the recommended course of action 😀

 

However, I'm not exactly sure how to recommend you should proceed. How long does it take you to extract the download when using winrar?

 

I'm glad to hear that. ;-) 

 

I think it was roughly an hour, which seemed appropriate as measured by statements in this forum.

I really have a continuum of file sizes in the folder, and only 15,500 are bigger than 100kb. 

 

/edit. It also seems peculiar to me that 7Zip seemed to get precisely the same files wrong in the previous attempt.

Can you give me the filesize of Hinterreger's cut-out in your folder? Can you then replace it with an image downloaded from this site?

 

You can find a player's UID using the database search tool on this site without downloading the editor 😉

Ah, thank you! I didn't know that. 

The file was 55,8 kB. After replacing with the file on this website (~100 kB), Hinteregger's face does indeed show up in the game. 

 

So, there seems to be an issue either with the torrent download or the extraction. Is there any way to avoid/fix this? Checking 330,000 picture files by hand doesn't seem all that attractive an option.

The relevant pictures are in good order in the faces folder. Can this somehow be related to the database chosen for the saved game?

the faces folder has 14.9 GB (15.5 on disk). Haven't downloaded the editor yet so give me a few moments before I can check the UIDs.

 

It's also noteworthy that it seems like precisely the same players are problematic as in my previous attempt (with different torrent client & different unpacker).

Hello everyone, thanks a lot for your commitment to make the FM even better, it's really appreciated! 

 

I am playing on FM 2016. I have downloaded the up-to-date Cut-Out Megapack via Torrent and followed the instructions carefully step by step. When the skin is reloaded, some faces are there, some are missing, and clicking around on player/club profiles quickly leads to crashing (pictures attached). Removing the FacePack from the graphics folder seems to remove these issues.

 

I have tried a few things including a new download + unpacking (with WinRar - btw I also get the messages that some file names are double in the rar), deleting the Cache folder by hand, and creating a new config file. Nothing has helped so far. Any ideas? 

 

Thank you in advance!
