Hello, first time posting in over a decade I think. Thanks in advance if someone can help me: I've downloaded and installed the players and staff packs.

No problem with the first one, players work like a charm.

Can't make the staff facepack work. I have the -Ultrarealistic NewGAN Staff faces by RnR &FM.Z- 512px.zip file, but the software seems to be designed only to work with the player's pack (it asks for 'players/male/…' directories.) I even ended putting player's faces (of the first pack) on staff characters in game, but I can not make it work like I think it should. 

Maybe I'm asking something dumb, maybe something impossible… I'm clueless and too old to keep on trying things above my knowledge and skill.

Thanks for reading!

Hey mate, you're right - the tool can't assign faces to staff (at least not yet). What you can do is assign them manually, but it's a tedious work if you're looing to cover all the newgen staff in the entire game. It's best to just assign faces manually to your own staff.

What you need to do is create another folder inside your graphics or faces subfolder (depending on your structure). I'm using the following structure:  graphics\faces\staff manually assigned

Select any picture you deem fit from that staff faces zip file (I keep it unpacked in my faces folder) and paste it in the staff manually assigned folder (or whatever you'd like to call it). Now, the most important bit: you also need a config file for this to work. You can download it somewhere from the URAN facepack page but I'll also attach mine. Find the staff member you want to assign a face to, copy his/hers unique ID and rename the selected face picture from “staffxxx” to that number (just the number).

Finally, you also need to drop a line in the config file for every staff member separately by using notepad or another text editor (now you see why it would be tedious to do it for every staff member in the game).

The line is as follows (for a random ID number - 2002077398 in this case):

<record from="2002077398" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002077398/portrait"/>

Notice how the second number occurrence has the “r-” in front of it. That's new for the latest database change (24.3 I think) and designates a regen.

In any case, you can use my config where you already have 4 staff numbers assigned. Just select some pics, rename them accordingly, and replace the numbers in the config and you're set to go. Add additional lines for as many staff members as you'd like.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Been doing this for a while now (including the newgan faces) and I'm constantly getting white Africans and black Europeans with the URAN facepack. Needless to say, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Most of the time, all-new regens already have an assigned face and it happens to be wrong. How TF is that happening?
