are you using FMZ Tools or NewGAN Manager? I was using the latter and having the same issue but worked fine when I switched to the former.

 

FMZ Tools on an M1 Pro Mac, 14.6.1

Anybody else getting no response when clicking “replace faces” on Mac? I have ensured the file path is correct as previously advised.

It is sort of easy but extremely  tedious. Guess easiest way is to you need excel and a program called bukrenamer

 

1st you need all image in 1 directory

2nd you use bulkrenamer in random mode to rename all the images from 1 to whatever. this will jumble the pics so its not named per nation order

3rd you would need to know what uid newgens start with in fm 24 and estimate where you want to stop probably like 500k  or 1 million uid

4th you could use excel to create a master xml file that just adds +1 to the image name and +1 to the uid and start over from 1 when you hit the last image

 

This is an example of the config file i used in fm21 and fm22 before NewGan had its bugs worked out. it does not work in fm23 or fm24 because the uid numbers are different, i never looked up the newgen uid in fm24 as of yet

 

<record from="1" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000000/portrait"/>
<record from="2" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000001/portrait"/>
<record from="3" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000002/portrait"/>
<record from="4" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000003/portrait"/>
<record from="5" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000004/portrait"/>
<record from="6" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000005/portrait"/>
<record from="7" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000006/portrait"/>
<record from="8" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000007/portrait"/>
<record from="9" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000008/portrait"/>
<record from="10" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000009/portrait"/>
<record from="11" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000010/portrait"/>
<record from="12" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000011/portrait"/>
<record from="13" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000012/portrait"/>
<record from="14" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000013/portrait"/>
<record from="15" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000014/portrait"/>
<record from="16" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000015/portrait"/>
<record from="17" to="graphics/pictures/person/2000000016/portrait"/>

 

In Fm23 I believe the uid started with 2002000000 and went to something like 2002500000

 

So yeah the config file is like 500,000 to 1,000,000 lines long.

 

Once that is done it will just assign whatever random face that is connected to the UID in the config file automatically. No running a separate program and exporting stuff every season. But its DUMB XML. So no matching nationalities or multi-nationalities up to specific faces and it wont MATCH the match engine 3d model. 

 

Technically all of this is pretty easy its just a pain the balls lol

 

It sounds like it hahah. Thanks for the info though – might give it a try one day.

No idea why other communities even link to 1.3.1. It never worked correctly from when it was released. 

 

If you read the history of it on the Zealand forum post it's just problem after problem and people saying go back to 1.2.1 

 

I think Zealand dropped it. And Maradonna has been completely MIA from all things FM. He use to be on here back in day. 

 

Now everyone is making AI packs for an app no one is developing anymore with the last version completely broken. Doesn't make sense. 

 

The other thing that can be done is just not care about matching nationality to face. You can create a config.xml that just assigns a random AI pic to a random newgen id. And it works for every save and you never have to do anything. 

 

You just lose faces matching nationality. But honestly it is a lot less freakin headache. And it's just drag n drop like the all other graphical packs. 

 

And even if nationality wrong it's still 100x better then awful SI newgen faces. I mean that is just embarrassing game development. 

 

How do you create your own xml?

Not working on Mac? Anyone else had an issue?


It worked for 1 season and then newly generated players had the FM regen faces. Tried updating using Newgan 1.3.1 but it didn't work, 1.2.1 doesn't open on my M1 Mac and it's not possible to open with Rosetta. Shame.
