This is a screenshot from your previous post. It is not in the filename method introduced in the new megapack as released on 8 December. Image should have their filenames as face_01234.png, where 01234 is the person's UID.

However, none of those UIDs are in the megapack, so I suspect you've downloaded the pack with the players added via the data update, and put it in the same folder as the main megapack.

They need to be placed in separate folders.

That's strange 😕

🍻 for the heads-up.

You need to change the game's user data folder for it to automatically load graphics from there, and it cannot do so automatically. There are instructions on how to do so in the FAQ at the top of this thread 👍

@SKOPEL21, for future reference, 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 upload up to 50 images per pack instead of just a maximum of 3 when done individually. 

This has been cut recently @Flennis, and doesn't need to be done again.

@Kvater 2, a year on, and you're still wasting your time and ours. From now on, I'll ban any accounts that smells like being yours, and reject any images requested, even those which would have ordinarily been cut.

You've been given way more chances that you deserve and wasted them all. Don't come back.

I'm a bit concerned about the sheer amount of pending images currently in the request forum. I appreciate it's a combination of FM26 including an unusually large amount of new players needing to be cut after skipping FM25, and of the new official update adding a chunk of new people which also need to be cut.

However, I'd like to do something to deal with the situation before it gets even more out of hand. Here's some options I've thought of, but I'd like the community to pitch in 🙂

a) Improvement images cannot be requested if the person has had a cut produced in the last 12 months, unless there is a clear change in hairstyle or facial hair. I'm not saying they cannot be cut, but that they shouldn't be requested. At the moment, there's a bit of leeway in how this is interpreted, butI simply don't think it worthwhile to cut someone now who was cut at the start of this season just for the sake of it, for example.

b) pack requests to be limited to 2 or even 1 per person, instead of 3 as it stands. This should make people more careful on what to upload, and to batch requests rather than uploading 3 packs of 5 people each. This might also encourage frequent requesters to cut at least some of them, in order to get through their own backlog and enable another pack to be uploaded

c) individual image uploads to be limited to 2 or even 1 per person. Any more than 1, and you should really be uploading a pack imo.

d) pack uploads to be limited to 30 images. Unfortunately this would also impact game ready images and not sources.

Happy to consider anything else, or ignore all of the above if the community disagrees. We have a small group of overworked cutters, so I think it'd be wise to focus our work a bit more than we're doing right now.

Please provide screenshots of your faces folder, showing clearly the full path it’s located in as well as how many images are in that folder.

What download method are you using?

This is an English language forum, please post in English. You should have 541,000+ images in your faces folder, and it should work fine.

If not, please provide screenshots of your faces folder, showing clearly the full path it’s located in as well as how many images are in that folder.

Any idea who the other guy could be? If he's in the game, we might be able to use the cut 😉

@Feelboss1234, we want the player's face to fill the canvas for the 250px cutout, which would mean cropping the image along these red lines:

I'll fix this myself this time, but please keep it in mind for next time.

This person has been cut quite recently @IwanE, so he doesn't need to be done again so soon.

Banned for pestering other users via private message, despite being told not to.

Please don't come back again.

Can I also see the 2600 folders, just to be safe?

All seems in order 😕

The logos bit hasn't got much to do with this pack. Have you done the workaround for the club name changes?

This thread isn't the right place for this.

Follow the thread title guys please. Let's have screenshots of the folders in which you've installed the fix, showing clearly the full path please. Do you have an issue for an existing career or for one started anew?

These screenshots seem fine, so can I see in-game screenshots of your issues?

These 3 folders aren't the same as the ones in the main post, in fact. Whatever you did at 10.55am yesterday recreated the files/folders that are removed when installing this fix, and which are causing your issues. Remove your dbc, edt and lnc folders and put the ones from this download instead.

This seems fine.

Are you starting with the new database? If yes, then I need to see inside all the 2620 sub-folders.

Are you starting with a quick start or not?

I asked for screenshots - please provide them. I asked for info as to whether this is for an existing save game or a new one - please provide it.

I have been told so many times in the past that the fix has been installed it correctly only for screenshots to show me it hasn't.

If it's an existing save, you need to re-apply the workaround.

No need, no.

As per the thread title, do the workaround.

Yes it works; it's you who most probably haven't installed it properly. Let's have screenshots of the folders in which you've installed the fix, showing clearly the full path please. Do you have an issue for an existing career or for one started anew?

They're working fine; the issue is at your end. Can I see the same screenshots as for the above user?

@alvlopezz, do you really think we can get a cut from a photo this small?

Once the database is updated on the site, which will be any time between March 20 - April 20, depending on SI, as per Footygamer's post.

He doesn't seem to be in the game, right?

Because it was a very old file which I don't have the time to keep up-to-date, and superior equivalents already exist on the scene anyway.

I've no idea what it is that you're asking me here 😕

However, if you are in the middle of a save-game when you added or re-installed this fix, national teams will only be populated in the next instance that players are called up, and not immediately.

And have you applied the workaround in the first post, as pointed out in the thread title?

I'm afraid you're not understanding the guideines.

We want the player's face to fill the canvas for the 250px cutout, which would mean cropping the image along these red lines:

At the same time, we want all cuts to include a little bit of collar. Since in some sources like this one, the person in the image may have a longer neck than usual, this would be quite difficult to achieve naturally.

Here's a video of the process on how to nudge the collar upwards:

I would recommend using remove.bg, which is a free online tool which removes the background to an excellent standard, for free and almost instantly.

Here's a couple of videos on how to use it, one when combined with Photoshop and another using photopea.com, which is a free online app so close to Photoshop that it has the same shortcuts, layout and icons. If you don't have Photoshop, photopea.com is the tool I would recommend to use to tweak the draft cut produced by remove.bg. It's more powerful and versatile than GIMP and other similar tools.

I have already asked you, twice now, to provide the original source images so that we can gauge if the poor quality is up to them or to your technique. I have also already pointed out that collars are mandatory and that your previous cuts were cropped too far from the top of the hair since 2-3 pixels is more than enough.

I ask you, yet again, to pay more attention to the guidelines.
