I can't for the life of me understand how I either (a) downloaded only part of the pack or (b) considered images in 250x250 not improvements on 180x180 cuts. Sorry! I've added the 4 cuts not added from that pack to my folder to be added into the next update pack 👍

Perfect cheers mate, I have found better sources for alot of those that are also newer, is it worth updating them in one big pack?

hi @mons just wondering I have a few cuts from last year that still haven't been made active in the megapack, is this because they aren't good enough an I should cut them again or is there another reason. Thanks. 

For example: https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/browse/1/1576682/timeline#submission_3378482 I have a higher quality source so was going to update it anyway, some of that pack are active some aren't, is it worth replacing the whole pack with sources that I found with a lot higher quality?

@FMStrawzy, if the source image or the eventual cut isn't the biggest or the sharpest, it's better to have the cut in 180x180 instead of 250x250 😉

 

sounds good, will do

I'll put two here: The original from MegaPack and the one I made just now.

 

try this attached one, and make sure you do this after changing the config (should be the same in fm18)

You know what's funny? If I download the face via "Submission Search" and replace the file in the folder: BOOM.

But I'm not going to do that for 480 thousand faces. I've wasted the whole day trying to solve this problem. I'm really disappointed. I want to know where the error is, since I did everything right.

 

can you attach your config file from the faces megapack please so I can make sure there are no errors inside it

Well, in the end, did I cut well or not, so I can understand?

the cuts are too low quality for these players, occasionally if the player is unknown or has only 1 image we can allow a lower quality cut but in this case many images exist so I shouldn't have accepted these. If I came at it from a different angle, I am unsure where your difficulty is. My workflow for cut out images is:

  1. Find high quality image
  2. Crop to square size just below chin with iloveimg
  3. Resize with iloveimg to 250x250
  4. Remove background with remove.bg

There is no image sharpening at all of players.

You could only be using photopea if it is required to either adjust the collar or remove snow which is like a white border around the image. However as you seem to be deviating from the video tutorials it can get quite frustrating having to repeat ourselves so I can see where mons is coming from. I will allow you one more attempt at a decent cut tagging me when it is completed and high quality but if this is not up to standard I would have to say you should not be creating any cut out players. I hope this is fair in your eyes.

@Noname2.0 - which part of this, which I've repeated time and again, did you not understand? Can you please follow the guidelines?!

 

Also, if I reject a source, it's because it's not worth cutting. Cutting it anyway will simply mean I reject it too.

 

Ah sorry mons didn’t see him when I accepted his cuts

Yes there's currently no way to change a players nationality. Contracting to a nation should only be used for managers/coaches etc.

 

We could allow it if we open up submissions for existing players to be more than just CA/PA (this would also allow for adding new positions).

 

But we need to think about how to handle this from a moderation perspective as well.

Yep thats fair. With nationalities it’s a bit easier as you can accept proof e.g. National team lineups but with positions and stuff it’s a bit harder

@FMStrawzy  can you try and be more specific by describing what it is you've done it's much easier than me trying to guess what you attempted through the logs.

currently ive changed the non player international club to the nationality and then set role to player but this is probably wrong

If you're asking the question, I suspect you know the answer already 😉

 

haha fair enough. can't believe how little photos exist of national team players, the right one is a mugshot from when he got deported 😂

Daft question (but as a toon fan I have to ask) will the carabao cup picture for the pack soon have the black and white ribbons on it? Even as an alternative option?

Afraid I don't think the image will be edited to have the black and white ribbons as otherwise it would have to keep changing every winner, but you could make your own to replace it in your own graphics pack if you wanted

Does anyone use mark specific position ie FBL to mark IFR and visa versa other side ? If so what others do people use

my right fullback marks the lw and left fb marks the rw and that seems to work for me

Hello, everyone! I'm making a save with Millwall and I'd like to play with the updated kits (2D and 3D). I downloaded the pack from Sortitoutsi and did the usual procedure on FM (clearing the cache and restarting the skin). It's not working. The game only pulled some kits from the Premier League teams (Arsenal, Liverpool, City, Chelsea, for example) and not the others. In the second division, the teams have the kits that are already licensed in the game, as well as in the Bundesliga. Everything else worked out fine. I've redone the procedure a few times, looked for recent FM updates, and looked in the config folder and everything is there, but the game can't "recognize" it. Oh, and the colors and names are all fine too. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

 

can you send a screenshot of your graphics folder in documents and the information in your config folder please

We now break into the 2028/29 season, and I get the alert I've been here for 5 whole years, and in that time we seem to have had alot of success. 

On the club side of things, I single-handedly demolish the league year in year out, not having lost one since my debut season. The president's cup has slipped away twice in my career in 2 sloppy semi-final losses, but recently we seem to have taken control. Furthermore, a very accepting board have agreed to  bump us up to Semi Professional, which will help with loaning out players to other teams when we have the coefficients to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League. Here's a rundown of the current team (PEEP YOUTH INTAKE PLAYER JUSTE ATKINS ON THE RIGHT WING):

A couple big names have come and gone, for example Spurs reject Japhet Tanganga and Bundesliga journeyman Christoph Klarer, which have help boost our reputation in the game. 

On the international side of things, the BVI have had limited success there too.

We have managed to add 16 positions to our world rankings with occasional wins in the CONCACAF Nations League and the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers, but struggle with beating other north american/carribean teams as they all seem to have 1 major league player which is something we lack.

not really sure how it looks without a mod, however i managed to get this for the london stadium. little issue if you want to change it per match, its the match background for every single game 

you could also do something like this if you preferred
