@Duracell.88 Please don't use an image enlarger/sharpener in any case as it makes the face look somewhat unnatural

 

I didn't. It's exactly as I download it, didn't touch a thing.

It's easier to use this ‘Browse' function than the ‘Search' one to search for teams/players

 

If you search for a player's name with that quick search one, it will send you straight to their timeline where you can see if there is already a request or not 👍

 

That's awesome! Thank you for your help @Drafter .

@Duracell.88, as explained previously, these kind of images are much too small to provide improvements.

Oh, it had one already? Sorry about that.

When I searched for the name, he had no profile picture…so I just uploaded one thinking “it's better to have something than nothing at all”.

No need for the tag, delete it. Cheers

Yes, if the face in the image is so small like this it's not worth cutting - try to look for source images where the face is 250px+ tall.

 

Ok got it. Thanks

@Duracell.88, when you upload an image, there is a link to a thread containing the guidelines to what we want our cuts to look like. Among other things, we want them to be cropped no more than 2-3 pixels beneath the chin.

 

Furthermore, we want them to ideally include both ears, and not have one of them crudely photoshopped out as it is in the original source. There's a reason it was rejected, after all 😉

 

Ok. Cheers.

I think I know why I thought it would be accepted. I usually tend to only submit images of players that dont have a face yet. Those are acepted easilly than the updated ones…ence my confusion. I guess i’ll stick to the ones without faces.

 

Always glad to help this fine comunity

It doesn't work like that, unfortunately. You can have an image with a large resolution but the face in it is small and/or blurry, or an image smaller in size but whose canvas is taken up almost entirely by the face. The latter is obviously preferable.

 

You have to use common sense to determine what the dimensions of the face are in any source and to then work out whether it's large enough to cut from.

 

Using the image you requested, it might be 800x651 in size, but once you crop the face (1st attachment), it's not even 200 pixels high, which means it'll need to be upscaled to reach 250 pixels in height. The source itself isn't of the highest quality, so this means any cut will be even more blurrier (2nd attachment).

 

With that in mind, it's not worth cutting as it won't be an improvement, even if it's more recent.

 

Ok thanks for the explanation and sorry for the trouble. I'll filter them from now on. Cheers

We have hundreds of uploads every day. It's important that requesters make our life that little bit easier by filtering the images they request before they do so 😉

 

You are right. I will take that into consideration. Thank you Mons.

Edit: What's the minimum size to consider a photo a proper upgrade?

@Duracell.88, when you have a lot of images to upload, then you should upload them as a pack instead of individually and save the both of us some time.

You can also request up to 50 images per pack instead of just 6 when done individually.

 

Ok i'll have that in mind, thanks for the tip.

@Duracell.88, images like this are much too small to produce an improvement. If you're having difficulties in finding a good source image, have a look in this thread for some hints and tips on how and where to find the best possible sources for your requests.

 

ok no problem, I am just sending a few images i stumble with so you guys can filter. I'll have that in mind in the future. Thanks for your good work.

It's really ofensive at times, depends on the roles you use on your two mids.

It tends to drain the stamina of your players, it's probably a good idea to have between 24 - 28 players (some youngsters slowly coming to the first team) to avoid that mid season drop.

In my case I had to sacrifice the domestic cup because of that, too many games, not enough time to rest between the games and the play style is very demanding.

The thing that caught my attention, because I've never used it before, was the tweak, “shoot on sight”. It really improved my ofensive and changed the way I look to that. They don't take all the shots outside of the box, instead they just tend to be more goal focused than not…sometimes you'll get some weird angle shots, but you just might get some awesome goals aswell, it will rely on your players quality.

The set pieces need some tweaks, don't expect a lot of goals with the way they are.

#669736 FC'12 Style 2D Kits Seasons23/26 for Flutskin - Titlebar/Player Overview Pack v.120
Duracell.88

I noticed that the 2d FC kits only have 1st Portguese League.

I am editing all the config files from all the FC kits that exists until now from Portugal: AF Divisions, Campeonato de Portugal, Liga 3 and Segunda Liga Sabseg, even though only the last 3 are updated.

I am doing this for my personal use, because I like to see ALL the kits in player overview panel (even those that are outdated like AF Divisions and Campeonato de Portugal look better than nothing) and I thought, if I am having all this trouble to edit all this config files, why not share it with the comunity.

 

So my question is, how can I share this with everyone in here? And of course, am I allowed to do it?

Why on earth didn't you ask before?! 😢

 

Although I'm a member for more than 10yrs, I don't participate much. And I guess I was afraid of asking something basic and bother everyone, the problem was my understanding of it, so i kept reading the entire page over and over looking for something referring to that complete pack being the entire package since 2011.

Now that I look at it, It's clear it says, “complete pack” but i was skeptical about the size, now that you explained the awesome work you did on compressing the files, I get it.

Thank you for your help, best regards to everyone in Sortitoutsi.

Ah, now I understand your question. Read the first bit of this post 👍

 

Wow, I am impressed, you actually managed to make a 10+ years of work into a 15Gb file! Congratulations.

 

I feel a bit silly now, since I've downloaded all the complete packs since the 3.00 untill the 2022 and have been installing them for the last couple of days, one by one…

The complete pack at any one point in time is the base 202x pack + any update packs released to date.

 

The difference in filesize is easily explained by the fact that (a) there will be some images in multiple update packs (and only one cut can be included in the complete pack) and (b) there will be thousands of images which are improvements, which will overwrite the cut in the base pack.

 

E.g. if 1234.png in the base pack is 100KB, 2022.01 has a cut of 80KB and 2022.04 has a cut of 90KB, the actual filesize in the megapack won't be 100kb+80KB+90KB, but just 90KB 😉

 

Ok, got it, thanks for the explanation.

But, does the last complete pack of 15Gb include all the other complete packs?

I had +30Gb on images last year (an accident with my hard drive deleted +10 years in cut out facepack images) so i am finding it confusing having only 15Gb

There's something confusing me. I downloaded all the complete packs that there is so far since 2011.

 

But I was wondering, are the complete packs a compilation of all the litle changes that were released during the year? I am asking this because the sizes of the small files and the size of the complete pack in the end  doesn't seem to correspond somehow.

 

I am sorry in advance if there is something basic that I am missing, I tried to figure it out before posting.

 

Cheers everyone.

If you're pointing out mistakes in the megapack, you'll need to tag @mons otherwise a comment like this might be missed 🙂

 

Do you know who the player in the current megapack cutout is?

Hi, thanks for the tip. Yes i know, He's Francisco José Coelho Teixeira from the same club, he already have the same face, which means, it is duplicate. I am more than happy to help in any player from the Portugal database if it is necessary. Love the cut out mega packs, since 2011 (?) I use it.

 

Thank you @mons

I thought no one had uploaded this yet, since it was still mistaken in the last update, but @andr3 has already uploaded the correct one, game ready and all, it's just adding it on the next update pack.
