Hi Mons,
No need to argue. Stay cool.

I wasn't "criticising your way of making this file available". But you did like I was, because you're convinced that i'm wrong. Like you said : "the absolute majority of cases were due to user error and I'll put down a hefty bet that it's the same case with you..."

Nice. Just reading my post ? So you're a mind-reader or something...

Seriously, I checked the 7.1 xml file and, like I said, it only contains the updated pics list. I think you don't even opened it, 'cause you think you know what's everyones trouble here (by advance and by answering it, almost automatically) : it's because we're dumb ! Yeah...

I deleted the config file provided by Sortitoutsi and created a new one (with fm xml) for both 7.0 and 7.1 subfolders inside my graphics folder.
...and "Surprise" : the faces now appear (just like faces from my other packs, from other sources - Like I previously mentioned it, in order to solve the problem's root).
It's a proof that you can have any subfolders you want in that graphic folder. And a proof that it's a corrupted xml issue.

To people who still have trouble making their facepacks appear in-game, even after checking all the original process, you'll probably solve it this way.
...until Sortitoutsi fixes their 7.x config files. So far, they'll have to read thousand other requests like mine, that they won't solve, 'cause they won't understand, keeping talking like arrogant bad teachers that we all wanted not to meet...

Bye

Don't overwrite your config file ! It doesn't path the same pics (the "7.1 xml" or any "update" config file only contains new pics to path, you can check it using wordpad to open the xml). So if you replace the xml, you'll loose your 150 000 preview pics.

I don't trust that "one and only folder" rule. Just put any subfolders at any name you want in your "graphics" source folder (in your personal data, whatever the place you choose).
If it doesn't appear in-game, check the options (classic mistakes : skin options to pick / unpick, folder choice for user data...)

It doesn't work either ? So we're on the same page...

-is it a SI /FM problem (like we're not allowed to add pics anymore) ? Don't think so (logos and kits appear).
-is it a Sortitoutsi Megapack / update pack / config file problem ? I DO think so (cuz' the only facepack allowed to show is my "Japan" one, featuring players from J-League, and not from Sortitoutsi...

Maybe Sortitoutsi should review their 2015 packs. Just sayin'... Many players have exactly that same kind of problem, but they always think about that "folder place" thing, here.

Any (new) suggestions ?
