If you want, you can either use the sortitoutsi FM database tool to find individual persons' UIDs or you can input a team's UID into the cut out player faces search tool to get a quick look at all the persons contracted to that club, their cut-outs and their UIDs.

The "Translate file names to IDs" function is intended to automatically rename filenames which contain the person's UID as well as some other text (e.g. assuming Messi's UID is 123456 and you have a config file with the right line of code but a cut-out titled 123456_Lionel_Messi.png, ticking this button and putting the image through fmXML would see it renamed to 123456.png)


I should have clarified these graphics are in use for Newgens only as I am in the year 2031 but that information is most helpful! Thank you.

Unless I've misunderstood you, that is exactly the way the faces megapack works. The only difference is that it's done by many cutters for many images over many years. fmXML helps in then creating the corresponding config file.


Suppose you're right that it's a collaborative effort. Quickest way I've managed to do it is to use the C+P function for UID on FM Scout and renaming files individually. The copy and paste helps but was just wondering if I am not utilizing FM XML to its full.

I am not sure how the "Translate file names to IDs" function works but think there may be something in there.

Thanks

Relatively new to the FM custom graphics and only started playing about with FM XML today. I have painstakingly updated each of my newgen faces with custom graphics (3AGP or ChilledMoose) by pulling the UID of each player and created a new config.xml file using FM XML.

I was just wondering if there was a way to batch this together rather than individually? Just wondering if I'm not using the program to it's full potential or if what I am trying to achieve is not possible? Is there a way to pull the UID from entire teams and auto-assign them graphics? Even with a 3rd party program for renaming? I can't imagine the Megapacks are created by someone individually assigning the UID to each player and just looking a way to speed up this process.

Thanks.

Anyone know how to fix this? Appears to be happening with this skin and a few others.
