Did it not include the link? I did post it along with the actual image unless it only posted the image?

Anyway the source is here https://www.playmakerstats.com/img/treinadores/930/1168930_ori__20240912081255_daniel_fonseca.jpg

@mons - Appreciate the guidance and I will remember it going forward, but I solely submitted the image (plus the source) that I am using so you're not using a literal child in your face pack.

I would imagine a lot of data files will work in FM24 provided nothing has changed between the two versions. So thinks like this should work. I would imagine it's the same for stuff like agreements and injuries too but don't hold me to that

Yeah exactly what was quoted. It basically changes the values of different currencies relative to the British pound. So a transfer costing £30m in GBP would cost the equivalent in any other in-game currency. I just update the default values that each currency is worth to bring it in line with the current amount whenever I post an update. For example, currencies like the Belarussian Ruble use the old Ruble value and not the newer Belarussian currency so the exchange rate is about 40,000 times too high. Same with one or two other currencies

Hi

Yes I will post it in the next couple of hours

Update: January version is here ---→ https://sortitoutsi.net/content/76017/currency-exchange-rates-15th-january-2026

If this has been asked before I apologise, but in FM24, with the real name fix the names in the editor automatically changed even without me loading in any other data files. Have I messed up somewhere or has the change in engine caused it to behave differently this time around? It's not a big deal, as it all works otherwise, but I was genuinely curious whether or not it was my mistake?

No worries, glad you sorted it

Didn't need to parse with a script.

So yes basically what you need to do is highlight all of the stadiums you want the record for. Make a change (I personally chose the name as it's easier that way) then export the changes to XML. I opened the XML file in Notepad++, bookmark all the lines that have the original name value, and the DB unique id. Open Excel, create however many columns I need for the data and copy and paste. The DB Unique ID is a Fermat number (can't remember said number off the top of my head but it's about 12 digits), so you divide by the Fermat number and round to zero places to get the in-game UID. Following this method I have the stadiums organised by Nation also. I've done the same for clubs, cities, media and anything else I need. Because of this I also have these things separated by nation.

Exported it from the PGE - I have most of the database bar people although that would probably be a relatively easy job as well.

I have the full list from 26 now so if you still need it I can send it across. 

Just letting you know 70043217_third is currently unassigned in the config (Group 1)

I would imagine it's because the data in the wonderkids pack is set using the default date. So when you advance the game by two years (i.e. to 2025) it ages them from whatever the start date in the editor is to that point in time.

I've not tested this but that's my theory anyway. If you want to correct/test it then choose a couple of them in the PGE and adjust their age to be two years lower than what it actually is and try again. If the reason is as I said, they should have the correct age, if they don't then you can completely ignore this

It will be one of the custom files you're using. I had to go through them one at a time to figure it out. For me personally it was one of the kit colour files that came with one of the packs I downloaded that wasn't FM Slovakia. So just do trial and error until you find the culprit or culprits.

I'm a Pompey fan so defo wish you the best of luck. PUP

Nice. I'm working on expanding the pyramid right down to 12/13 but the regional divisions take time

I'll update these for FM26 after the next window. I'll include the women's as a separate file too

I feel that. I get GPT to generate the ones for my club. Looking forward to eventually updating staff too. Only 5 more days lol.

NewGen faces: (Works)

For anyone struggling to replace newgen faces, it should be noted, in the config part it should look like this:

<record from="2002116850" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002116850/portrait"/>

as this: (Does not work)

<record from="2002116850" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002116850/portrait"/>

won't work for NewGens

In the config you absolutely must have the “r-” before the number. I've bold and highlighted this in the example above

I see what you mean about nation logos. I just had a look at one of the profiles and yeah something is definitely not right there. I'm wondering if it's geared up for flags instead as the shape does seem condensed.

won't work.

I should probably mention that for the most part, not nesting folders seems to be the key… especially compared to FM24.

Not meaning to step on anyone's toes here but wondering if it would be an idea to compile a list of graphic types that currently work in the Beta as-is and what will have to wait until full release before people can have a play around and figure out what goes where? (Admins feel free to delete if this out of my remit)

Working:

- Match Balls
- 2D Kits

- Competition Logos
- Club Logos

- Continent Logos
- Player Faces (but not non-player due to no UID) - EDIT (Not including pre-existing non-player faces. To clarify, any face where the UID is known will work)

Not Tested:

- Trophies - Not seen anywhere for them to pop up

- 3D Kits - Team I'm managing has them included by default

Not Working/Notes:

- Nations:

I've seen part of the PGE on launch day. The structure here will definitely change.

- Backgrounds:
- Cities, Person Backgrounds, Nation Backgrounds and Fan Backgrounds are all directly affected by no skinning
- Stadiums: In the beta this doesn't open into a new tab so also no graphics present.
- Back Logos (Back left/Back Right), Huge & Small Logos don't have their own place in any category

Obviously we'll have a better idea when the game launches fully but just thought I'd give people a heads up, so hopefully someone finds this useful.

Apparently the file no longer exists?

Yeah that's right then load it in when you start a new game

You guys do a great job here honestly.

Yeah there will be the usual license fixes released like there are every year. It's just until the mod creators get their hands on the structure and setup and essentially view the ‘damage’, they won't be able to prepare or do anything with it. Though considering the long term deal with FIFA, we may begin to see less and less fake clubs and stuff bar any exclusive licenses elsewhere… but like I said, modders will fix it. They always do.

I imagine it will work like the non-playable leagues. The calendar will happen, it will just be view only until the module comes out next year more than likely

Thanks sorted it a while back. 

The only places I think you might get lucky are foreign sites (perhaps somewhere like fm-vn) or maybe a retro database from that era might come with graphics packs.

Actually a google search led me back here

A question with the match balls for national teams:

116 for Japan is good in principle, but there's a competition in Brazil that has the same UID, so how do you differentiate between the National Team and the Brazilian competition without overwriting one or the other?
